• Edward Griffiths quits a month after return to club• Points deduction ensures Saracens will finish bottom
Saracens have been plunged deeper into turmoil after they were docked a further 70 points to ensure they will finish bottom of the Premiership table, just hours after their interim chief executive, Edward Griffiths, resigned with immediate effect less than a month into the job.
Griffiths returned to the club in early January, having spent six years in the role up to 2015, to try to steer Saracens through the salary cap scandal. He was initially appointed for 12 months but has lasted just 26 days, during which time the club were condemned to relegation from the Premiership.
