Saracens relegated from Premiership at end of 2019-20 season for salary cap breaches

Saracens' champagne has gone rather flat, as their relegation follows three years of salary cap breaches

"At the same time as enforcing the existing regulations, we want to ensure a level playing field for all clubs in the future, which is why we have asked Lord Myners to carry out an independently-led review of the salary cap." Exeter Chiefs were beaten by Sarries two years in succession in the Premiership's showpiece final, and their chief executive Tony Rowe is still bitter about how long it has taken the game's authorities to take firm action.

He added:"We just want to move on. They have cheated. And I'm just a bit upset it has taken so long to do this. At the moment they are still picking their team each week largely from the squad they had last year which is still in breach of the salary cap. They have been asked by the rest of the Premiership clubs to reduce that back as well.

Leave them alone... they can’t have much money if they needed a £20m+ loan from the local council to build a stand.

Time will tell but I can't see the break up of the current Sarries team being a benefit to England. Still, the Chiefs, Tigers, Saints, etc will be happy.

What good can a salary cap in professional sports possibly bring?

Could be bad for England as a lot of their best players will probably go to France

Serves them right, can't break the rules four years running and expect to get away with it. What we're they thinking?

Seems pretty harsh!

I know what all of these words mean but have zero idea what they mean in this context.

karma took her time

Into a league with no salary cap....

Nice one, justice.

Hello? HALLO!!!
