Worcester Warriors ‘close to being sold’
The management at Worcester Warriors are understood to have found a buyer for the club, with a deal set to be announced imminently.
The news comes after weeks of speculation that Warriors might fold after it was handed a winding-up petition from HMRC over an unpaid £6m tax bill.
According to the BBC, staff have now been told that a sale has been agreed and, subject to legal confirmation, may happen quickly.
It is understood that staff were told on Monday evening by managing director Peter Kelly that co-owners Jason Whittingham and Colin Goldring should have had legal confirmation by today and that a deal could be done inside the next 24 hours.
