Le club anglais des London Irish, qui était sous administration judiciaire, a été repris par un groupe d’investisseurs conduit par Eddie Jordan, ancien patron d’écurie de Formule 1.

Dans un communiqué publié mercredi officialisant la reprise, l’homme d’affaires irlandais dit viser un « retour rapide » dans le rugby professionnel.

Les London Irish, dont les origines remontent à la fin du XIXe siècle, ont été exclus de la Premiership, le championnat d’Angleterre de première division, en juin 2023. En difficulté financière et écrasé par une dette de l’ordre de 30 millions de livres (36 millions d’euros), le club n’arrivait plus à payer ses joueurs. Il a perdu depuis son statut de club professionnel.

« Ramener le club de rugby des London Irish au sommet du rugby professionnel »

« L’objectif premier des nouveaux propriétaires est de ramener le club de rugby des London Irish au sommet du rugby professionnel international de club, visant un retour rapide dans la compétition de haut niveau », peut-on lire dans le communiqué.

Eddie Jordan s’est fait un nom en F1 en fondant et en dirigeant l’écurie Jordan Grand Prix, qui a participé au championnat du monde entre 1991 et 2005, signant quatre victoires entre 1998 et 2003. Aujourd’hui âgé de 76 ans, il a révélé en décembre qu’on lui avait diagnostiqué une « forme agressive » de cancer.

Les Wasps et Worcester, deux autres institutions du rugby anglais, ont également été emportés par les difficultés financières lors de la saison 2022-23. La Premiership ne compte plus aujourd’hui que dix clubs.

Leinster cleanse palette with record URC scoreline against Zebre

My name is Solenn Bonnet, and I am a single mother navigating the challenges of raising my two-year-old child while trying to make ends meet. I came across a trading platform that promised astonishing daily profits of 18%. The allure of such a high return on investment was too tempting to resist, and I found myself drawn into cryptocurrency trading. Excited by the prospect of financial freedom, I invested a significant amount of my savings, totaling over 5.7 BTC. However, what started as a hopeful venture quickly turned into a nightmare. The platform was a scam, and I lost everything I had invested. The emotional toll of this loss was immense; I felt devastated and helpless, struggling to provide for my child and keep up with my bills. In my desperate attempt to recover my funds, I sought help from various recovery experts. Unfortunately, I encountered numerous fraudulent individuals who claimed they could help me retrieve my lost money. Each time I reached out, I was met with disappointment and further scams, which only deepened my despair. Last year was one of the most challenging periods of my life, filled with anxiety and uncertainty about my financial future. Feeling overwhelmed and at a loss, I confided in a close friend from church about my situation. She listened compassionately and shared her own experiences with financial difficulties. Understanding my plight, she introduced me to Tech Cyber Force Recovery, a group of skilled hackers known for their expertise in recovering lost funds. Skeptical yet hopeful, I decided to reach out to them as a last resort. Their services came at a higher cost, but my friend generously offered to help me with a partial payment. I was amazed by how quickly they responded and began the recovery process. Their team was professional, efficient, and incredibly supportive throughout the entire ordeal. To my relief, they successfully recovered more than I had lost to those heartless scammers. This was truly transformative, and I felt a sense of relief and gratitude that I hadn’t felt in a long time. I strongly encourage anyone who has faced similar challenges or fallen victim to scams to reach out to Tech Cyber Force Recovery. If you’ve invested in a fraudulent platform like I did, they are highly capable of helping you reclaim your hard-earned money. Don’t lose hope; there is a way to recover what you’ve lost.
