Starting to believe our signings are done and we are going into next season with what we got. Can't see an improvement mdwt year, we were exposed by lack of power and pace

Winning games and competitions. I thought that was obvious

We're still still here, but I wish we were in an Anglo-Welsh

It seems obvious on paper. But should we be winning games and trophies while racking up huge debts, with no home-grown players, singing Ole Ole Ole West Wales Super Eagles? |

it's a balance between home grown players many of whom are world class over the years and intelligent signings not ones who have fallen off an ambulance.

Initial feedback from the survey looks like this:
I'll share the more qualitative feedback on the weekend.

Interesting stuff, cheers!
One note about plucky Exeter and their small budget, they have income of £17m, a wage bill of £10m and a debt of £12m. But they made a profit of £1m last season as well.

It's not so much the size of the figures in Exeter's accounts but more the perception of how they go about business. Alot of stability (Baxter has alot to do with that), alot of homegrown talent, not alot of poaching world superstars, alot of reworking mediocre players from elsewhere (Damian Welch) and an appearance of being very community based. Some of this is possibly more perception than fact but they are definitely not an English version of Toulon. And their stadium could do with a rebuild.

They are definitely a well run and well supported success story. Let us not forget that the homegrown talent starts with Baxter. It will be interesting to see how Tom Price performs next season. My feeling is that he will improve as the forward coaching is superior.

Exeter are lucky in one way, and they have developed that, there is no major rugby side for at around 2 hours travelling time to the east ish, and certainly nothing to the west.
Good marketing helps, and a large catchment area, and quite affluent. They started the dream when they moved and changed the name around 2000, even though they were founded before the Scarlets, something I am sorry to say Scarlets failed when the move to PYS took place. |

Be careful when you pick up the stick.........IT MAY BE THE WRONG END!!!!!!!!!!
