Gatland:
"We’re well aware of people overspending. It’s about keeping within our means"
"I’m well aware the regions have been living outside of their means a little and that will be addressed" Is he also aware of the £20m debt the WRU loaded on the regions... He needs to shut up and keep out of the politics. He's doing nothing to help and his early announcement bid was a clumsy attempt to put pressure on players. Should never have been re-appointed.

Whats of more concern is Gatland saying no Welsh squad training this afternoon or tomorrow. The selected team will just have a Captains run (unless they strike) on Friday. Hardly good preparation for playing England!

They’ve got a cheek. The WRU insisted on the regions adhering to the salary bands they set. You can be outside the Team Wales 38, not in your region’s best 23, but because you were given a cheap cap the region is forced to pay you a minimum of £110k a season. These new massive squad budget reductions from £7 million a year to £4.5 million a year suggest that the WRU made a ballsup with their banding.

Is Gatland also aware the WRU overspent, especially on him and other coaches.

They can’t afford it because they have wasted £39 million on a vanity project in West gate Street. They have shown where their priorities lie and unfortunately it’s not rugby or the pro game in Wales.

Full on reform needed.
WRU 100 mill business, invested in a hotel and not the grassroots. Ireland invested in the grass roots and actual people with business credentials in the board room. They can afford to bring gatland back for 2 mill mind. Gatland shouldn’t be involved in regional stuff.

According to the audited accounts £45M of funding has been secured from Legal and General, although it also looks like a further £5M was also borrowed. This sum now represents the majority of WRU current debt. I read in a recent article that the cost of servicing this debt is just under £5M per annum, which coincidently is pretty much the same sum that the WRU want to reduce regional support by. The obvious solution would be to admit they have made a mistake investing in this hotel in the current challenging market and sell it to repay as much as possible of the debt.
