The owners of Worcester Warriors rugby club have written to all members of staff claiming that reports of imminent administration for the club are false and denying allegations that they might be asset-stripping the stricken Premiership club.

“Any articles that we are in administration,” Colin Goldring, co-chairman of the club alongside Jason Whittingham, wrote in an email to their employees, “or going into administration tonight, tomorrow, next week etc are all untrue. Our decision on advice from our advisors is we should not be going into administration at this point, there are still viable options on the table being actively pursued.”
