It isn't going to get a reset. It will slowly collapse from the top down, with the PRL simply imploding and probably end up with a committee in charge of nothing. The RFU itself may well go in to administration, and Twickenham likely needing to be rescued by DCMS.
Just how many stadiums will be left after the dust settles, and how many will become distribution parks or housing, who knows?
Sandy Park
The Stoop
Kingsholm
Franklin's Gardens
Mattioli Woods
The rest I don't much care about. A rugby pitch is really just a piece of turf after all. I see the press repeating today that Steve Lansdown still wants shot of Bears, and that Bears have been offered LI's place in the EPCR next season.
For as long as we have the PRL being run to the benefit of its self-serving remaining owners, they are surely on the road to nowhere. The RFU are up the proverbial (financial) creek without any rowing implements. Their last accounts show 40m debt, and growing, and they now need a new roof on part of HQ, which will cost yet more tens of millions. TV deals will not fill in those cracks.
