THE administrators in charge of the sale of Worcester Warriors have suggested that news regarding the sale of club is imminent. 

Warriors have been in administration since the end of September 2022 but as of yet, the future of the club remains very much in doubt.

Begbies Traynor (administrators) have told the Worcester News and other sources that news is expected 'early this week'.

Now that will most likely be regarding new preferred bidders, of which the Worcester News believes there are at least three bids, possibly four. 

Jim O'Toole and James Sandford led the Atlas Worcester Warriors Rugby Club Limited bid to preferred bidder status back in November, but after the RFU rejected their proposal, Begbies were forced to listen to new and improved offers.

The deadline for new and improved bids closed over two weeks ago, but there has been no updates from Begbies.

But they did confirm to the Worcester News earlier this month that O'Toole's bid remained the best financial bid on the table. 

A meeting between a selection of supporters and Begbies was cancelled last week due to a lack of news to report.

With the club having been relegated to The Championship for the 2023/24 campaign as a result of going into administration, the club are seemingly running out of time to apply to compete in next season's edition. 

The original deadline of December 12 has long gone, but the RFU did state that they would be flexible on that date for both Worcester and Wasps, given their situations.

But with eight months to go before the 2023/24 season starts and Worcester still without any staff or players, time is ticking.
