Ex-London Irish back rower Matt Rogerson says he felt responsible for being unable to help the former Premiership club survive.
Former London Irish back rower Matt Rogerson says he felt responsible for being unable to help the former Premiership club survive.Rogerson said he "helped try broker" a deal with new owners, which failed to materialise and sealed the club's demise."It was a stressful time for me personally trying to help broker that transaction, as far as I was able to in my position, but then ultimately not be able to save it in the end.
He had been at Irish for five years and had signed a new two-year deal with the club before it became the third Premiership side to financially collapse last season.Rogerson says Irish's downfall came as a shock. "That's why deadlines are imposed and then deadlines were not met. It is a slippery slope from there and things spiralled out of control quickly from there."
