Worcester find finance needed to keep squad together for another month

Worcester find finance needed to keep squad together for another month. Co-owner Jason Whittingham is pleased to say that they have secured funds. The club's finances were frozen by HMRC while they chase unpaid tax. Their pre-season match against Glasgow on Friday was cancelled. Players were given a deadline of 4pm on Wednesday to be paid their salaries for August. However, they will only be given 65% immediately. The outstanding money owed will be cleared within five days. Worcester's involvement in the forthcoming Gallagher Premiership season remains in doubt ahead of their opener against London Irish on September 10.
