I’m helping someone else’s company, not a rugby club, with an HMRC debt. The taxman’s view is that if you can raise finance to run the business, you can raise finance to pay us. I suspect this is what is happening, Wuss need investment cover operating losses and HMRC are saying, ahem, pay us first!

OTOH it might just be sabre-rattling by HMRC to concentrate minds at Worcester to get the money together pronto.  If Worcester show some movement then they could be ok.

To run a Premiership rugby team, mens or women's, you need very deep pockets as club rugby does not make money . . . Wasps and Worcester in serious trouble others will be similar .  ..  Sale might well be next!!!
Run with it

Worcester Warriors: Premiership club in dialogue with HMRC over unpaid tax bill

Quote
Worcester Warriors have confirmed that they remain in dialogue with HMRC over the threat of a winding-up petition over an unpaid tax bill.

BBC Hereford & Worcester say several local businesses are also owed money by the Premiership club.

But Warriors say they are on the brink of new funding and have suffered 'unavoidable delays' by health issues.

The club said they are "working on solutions to secure the financial future and to pay outstanding tax".

I'm hearing that Worcester RFC are being served with a winding-up order by HMRC over an unpaid tax bill.  Can anyone confirm this?
