The quotes, which I have helped to fill in the gaps

“While right now only one Championship club is meeting the requirements that would enable them to come into the league, we are working hard to ensure that is not always the case [by not giving lower leagues money and trying to get Worcester, Wasps and London Irish back] and that we apply the right flexibility [by letting the aforementioned clubs to jump up the leagues to the Championship] and support where it’s appropriate [for the ex Premiership clubs and ensuring Falcons don't fold],” said Mike McTighe, chair of the PRB. 


“We know how hard those clubs with aspirations to [re]join the Premiership are working both to generate the required investment [to phoenix and] to be sustainable [as the current clubs aren't sustainable losing millions] within that league and to ensure they have the required infrastructure to support themselves.

When the Covid loans were renegotiated at the end of last year did the PRL have to take responsibility for their repayment? If so this explains why they are so keen to bail out Newcastle. Promotion of course would dilute the money received from TV/ the RFU. Bottom line is this is all about money and supporters don't come into it at all.

It also shows who is in control - PRL owned by the Premiership cartel and headed by Bruce Craig.

Of course it is!

Would not have been before the SGM - 

Which fully answers the question of who will be in it? without answering the question of who will be in it?

Pretty accurate summation.

Covid era loans are by the individual clubs and none have been announced, either by press release or in accounts, as being re-negotiated or re-termed.

Eddie Jordan has died.  Former F1 boss and TV pundit Jordan dies aged 76 - https://www.bbc.com/sport/formula1/articles/cq8y1335qlwo

This probably puts London Irish's plans into disarray.

The Irish piece was being headed up by Kyle Jordan, so shouldn't impact much.

Ok, but Eddie was very much the public face of the project, and there must be questions about whether anyone else has the force of personality to drive it forward in the same way.

"Drive it forward", I like why you've done there!

IMHO it isn't the personality that matters but the money.  Will Eddie's death have any impact on that?

Could possibly impact securing new money, but his illness was known about and as such he'll have put things in place for the remaining consortium to take over now that he has gone.

I agree you need to have the money - but you also really need a passion.

For the amount you need to give a Premiership rugby side even Falcons, you can live at the Savoy and dine in Michelin starred restaurants every evening drinking the flights of wine, and still have money left over for a loose car and a fast woman.

So it takes a lot of passion to want to give that away to a club that gets beaten every week.

If you want your side to win, then you are talking real money.

There goes the London Irish franchise idea then. 

RIP to Eddie Jordan.

I think Eddie’s son Kyle a senior partner in Jordan Associates will continue running the show. Sad that Eddie won’t be around to see it come to fruition. 
RIP Eddie
