Bill Sweeney Exclusive: Big bonuses, "Adolescence" & Beyoncé at Twickenham with RFU's 'most wanted'
The Sports Agents - A podcast by Global

An exclusive interview with rugby's 'most wanted' man, CEO of the Rugby Football Union (RFU), Bill Sweeney. Before he faces a vote of no confidence next week, Gabby and Mark asked him all the tough questions. How can he justify taking a bonus of over £350,000, making his pay £1.1m, after posting losses of £40m, making dozens of redundancies and seeing three top-tier clubs go bust? Is the RFU fit for purpose or does it move too slowly to get anything done? Could they do more to promote school sport right now with the success of Adolescence and Gareth Southgate's recent speech on toxic role models? And are they really considering moving Twickenham to accommodate more Beyoncé concerts?
