Post Altrad looking to invest in Glous
Reported that Altrad the billionaire owner of Montpelier is looking to invest in Gloucs too.
There may be conflict of interest objections from EPRC but Altrad is a somewhat viscious foe
Multinationalisation for rugby .....

EPCR statement on the current situation. This guy is seriously wealthy. The shed will be painted gold if this goes ahead. What's odd though, is why Gloucester, when there's a fantastic opportunity just down the road to buy the Dragons ? :dontknow:


Quote:
To have a controlling influence on two clubs participating in European club competition would require consent from the unions concerned (in this case, the RFU and the FFR who are both shareholders and are represented on the EPCR Board) as well as from World Rugby and EPCR itself.
"EPCR has written to the three organisations in question, asking for their clarified positions on the matter.
"EPCR is committed to completing all of its due diligence regarding this matter and to assessing any potential risks to the integrity and image of its tournaments in which both clubs participate, by avoiding any potential conflict of interest, or perception thereof.

"It is important to consider the views of all stakeholders as part of a fair, thorough and transparent decision-making process."

Looks like Altrad ownership of Gloucs will be confirmed next wk and Saint Andre, Azam and Ford (ed will terminate in favour of Galthié at end of Season) to take over coaching

Reported that Altrad will be allowed 45% of Gloucs holdings but not 50% of the total by the EPCR

He could still swing voting though ;)

Rejected by the majority of the cartel eh. I wonder what the reasons behind that were ? Big loss for Gloucester that, although I expect their loss will be someone else's gain.

When Altrad took over Mop he flooded the squad with Boks, sacked the Coach Galthié (went to Industrial Tribunal) ...
Hired JakeWhite, replaced by Cotter upcoming Season. Pretty ruthless guy and businessman, shakes trees, ...maybe PRL
just want to preserve their control......?..?

He also tookover the Mop multi sports stadium in quite a contentious battle, also has sposored French jersey when first offered for sponsorship ...

No half measures with him.

His history is well published and reported for his rise from poverty to billionaire with International Co over 100+ countries....

It would seem the vote was split on this within PRL. So not so much PRL wanting to preserve control, but certain clubs within PRL who would not want Altrad pouring money into Gloucester. Thereby, protecting their own interest. This lot are nothing more than a cartel. No doubt it'll be quickly brushed under the carpet, just like the salary cap issue.
