The Rugby Football League (RFL) has cautioned clubs against their proposal to remove chair Simon Johnson, citing catastrophic financial risks. The planned revolt, driven by the Leigh Leopards and Batley Bulldogs, aims to establish a new governance committee primarily run by clubs and to reinstate Nigel Wood as chair, despite previous severance payments. The RFL has engaged legal counsel affirming that this initiative violates sports governance codes, potentially jeopardizing the financial stability of rugby league, which is already facing economic challenges.
The Rugby Football League has expressed grave concerns over efforts by some clubs to push for governance changes, warning of potential financial dire consequences.
The RFL has sought legal advice indicating that the attempt to replace current chair Simon Johnson could breach governance rules, provoking severe financial penalties.
