Bristol Bears will part company with club legend Mark Tainton at the end of the season.
The former fly-half will leave his role as chief executive at the Premiership side following the furore over the club’s contracts error earlier this season.
Tainton, who is also on the board of directors at Bristol, is the club’s all-time record points scorer but according to The Daily Mail has apparently paid the price for the clubs’ contracts error which has impacted director of rugby Pat Lam’s recruitment plans, with a number of high-profile players leaving in the summer with the Bears unable to match the financial offers coming from elsewhere.
