[QUOTE="gaston le gaff, post: 674115, member: 61265"] What you are saying is actually not true, the clubs do not have to make a profit, they cannot be in the red, there is a big difference!!!! if they are in deficit then funds have to be found from other sources ie: the President or Sponsors parteners etc..At the end of the season the books must balance with no losses.If the DNGC control the club and the deficit is large they can be given a period of time to find the funding to repair the issue,( Biarritz last season) or if they cannot, they could be relegated 2 divisions or get a very hefty fine. Toulon is one club that is auto financed as announced by its Preident, Boudjellal on many occaisons, we at Montpellier are very near to it and hopefully will be by the end of the season. In France the auditing of rugby clubs is a very complexed affair, and if mistakes are made the consequences are normally very difficult for the clubs to overcome. (eg Montauban Bourgoin relegated 2 divs below) in recent years. The clubs are free to make their own budgets as big as they want but the salary cap remains the same for everyone 10 million €'s, but this includes everyone not just the players, also the academies, unless a different association is created. Thats it more or less in a nutshell and all this cars, employing families free meals, is absolute bull it does not happen, cars are provided for some players but they do publicity work for the companies or in many cases pay for them themselves. Our players lunch together 2/3 times a week it is taken out of their wages. Players are well paid thats for sure, but the rugby days do not last forever, but they are not that many freebies as some people think. [/QUOTE]
