Club hurt by failed ‘promises’ of their prospective buyers ‘Administration offered the safest path forward’ – Crossan
London Irish have filed for administration following their suspension from all club competitions.
The Rugby Football Union on Tuesday confirmed that neither Irish’s owner, Mick Crossan, nor the American consortium planning to buy the club were able to prove they had the finances to compete in the Premiership for the 2023-24 campaign. Crossan has revealed that entering administration was the only choice left after the suspension ended any chance of the prospective takeover going through.
