• New club chairman Neil Golding releases statement to fans• Premiership Rugby announce preparations to release documentSaracens’ new chairman Neil Golding has called for the independent report that found that the Premiership champions guilty of persistent breaches of the salary cap to be published in full, saying it would provide “much needed context and clarity”. In response Premiership Rugby have announced preparations for the publication of the document, with further details promised “in the coming days”.
Saracens were initially deducted 35 points and fined £5.36m after an inquiry into business dealings between ex-chairman Nigel Wray and some of the club’s players was published in November. Last week they then agreed to be relegated and apologised for the mistakes they had made.
