Steve Diamond says it would be “a tragedy of professional rugby” that would leave families “wrecked” if Worcester Warriors go to the wall after revealing up to six of his players have already been approached by other clubs, writes telegraph.
Monday saw potential investors present proposals to the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport in a bid to bring Worcester back from the brink a week before the start of the new Premiership campaign.
With players thought to be free to leave Worcester after a fortnight without receiving their wages and August’s payroll due imminently, suitors are circling. Diamond has vowed to help his players find clubs if they are forced into unemployment.
“There are lots of clubs that pay a lot of money for speakers to help them become more resilient,” he said. “By good fortune or bad fate, that resilience is being built with us at the minute..."
“There are five or six players that have had offers from other clubs,” Diamond added. “To a man, I’ve asked them to refrain from being desperate at the minute. Those clubs can wait for three or four more days.
