Three former chairmen of the Rugby Football Union have called for the mass resignations of the union’s current hierarchy in the wake of the row over record financial losses and the salary and bonuses paid out to its top executives.
In a year when the union has reported an annual loss of almost £40m, the RFU’s chief executive, Bill Sweeney, was paid a total of £1.1m, comprising a salary of £742,000 and a long-term incentive plan (LTIP) bonus of £358,000.
