🏉 Exciting news for Scarlets fans! The club’s new investors, House of Luxury (HOL), have made it clear they are not entertaining any thoughts of merging with the Ospreys. HOL is set to take a 55% stake in the Scarlets, focusing on turning things around for the club and navigating the stormy waters of Welsh rugby.
As Welsh rugby faces potential restructuring and possible reductions in professional teams, many eyes were on the prospect of a merger in west Wales. But Simon Kozlowski, HOL’s Chief Experience Officer, firmly stated that a merger isn’t on their agenda. “Honestly, no. We haven’t given much thought to a merger because it’s not a priority for us.”
Kozlowski does see a promising future despite the current challenges. He believes that navigating the turbulent times is an opportunity for positive change. “We tend to go where there’s blood on the streets because that’s where positive social change can happen,” he mentioned in a recent interview.
Taking inspiration from the likes of Rockefeller—not in wealth but in timing—HOL is diving in when others are stepping out. They’re committed to preserving, enhancing, and sharing the value of Welsh rugby with the local community. “We’re stepping in based on what we believe in, even as reluctant heroes,” Kozlowski shared.
With a new team at the helm, Scarlets fans can look forward to exciting developments as HOL plans to bring a fresh vision to the club and its faithful supporters. Stay tuned for more twists and turns in this intriguing chapter for Welsh rugby! 🌟 #Scarlets #RugbyRevolution #WelshRugby
