Worcester owner Cecil Duckworth has pledged to continue his multi-million pound backing of the club even if they are relegated from the Guinness Premiership.Mick Cleary writes in the Daily Telegraph.
"Worcester are almost certain to go down if they lose to Leeds at Headingley on Sunday, after six years in the English game's top flight.
"Duckworth acknowledged that mistakes might have been made three years ago, when former coach John Brain was sacked, and that a full review of resources would have to take place if the worst came to pass. The former Gloucester director of rugby, Dean Ryan, has been linked to Worcester. "I've not spoken to Dean," Duckworth said. "He's a very able person and does live fairly locally. That's the press getting two and two to equal five."
"The man who has overseen Worcester's rise through the ranks from level eight status at a personal cost in the region of £20 million insisted relegation would be just "a hiccup" in the long-term project to establish the club as a leading entity."
