It kinda feels like they have money and they dont care where it goes.

I suppose 20% of a premiership team means that they will have a input into the coaching and player recruitment

I really dont get this. If we are paying significant money we need control over the players otherwise what's the point. Arranging somewhere for a few players to go on loan doesnt require us to buy the club

I think a pro club in England has around 60 players for a 1 off lump sum of 20% (and then a bit every year you could probabbly get 12 SQ players within the club and a coach.

Do that in 2 clubs in England and France and thats a pro team full of players for a hell of a lot less than it takes to run a pro team

Well in a proteam you would have the full 60. Plus if there are 12 SQ players good enough to play in the premiership who want to then they can find contracts anyway. The issue is more youngsters on the fringes
