Exeter Chiefs: Rob Baxter has funds to strengthen squad this season
Exeter have seen a host of internationals and seasoned players leave the club over the past 18 months.
Jack Nowell, Luke Cowan-Dickie, Stuart Hogg, Dave Ewers and the Simmonds brothers are amongst the names that have either moved to different teams – mainly in France – or retired.
It saw a new-look young side impress many people last season as players such as Immanuel Feyi-Waboso, Greg Fisilau and Jenkins took on greater roles in the side.
Those young players – with experienced help from Henry Slade, Scott Sio and Jack Yeandle – exceeded expectations in 2023-24 with a seventh-placed finish and hopes of making the top four until the final day of the season.
Baxter says the club has had to curb its spending as it works its way out of the financial problems caused by the Covid-19 pandemic, which is now having a ripple effect on the team this season.
“We’ve spent a little more this year than last year, but we’re miles off the salary cap,” he said.
“We said coming out of Covid, ‘we’re a member’s club, we have to run as a profit-making business’.
“We can’t just run forever as a loss-making business because that’s illegal, our accountants can’t say we’re a going concern, we have to make those decisions.

BBC Sport rugby league reporter Matt Newsum
The decision to appoint Danny McGuire is, to some extent, a gamble given his relative inexperience as an out-and-out head coach but there is every reason to suggest he is the perfect fit for such a post.
First of all, his rugby league brain made him one of the sharpest halves around, so he understands the sport inside out.
He has played under some esteemed coaches such as Tony Smith, Brian Noble, Brian McDermott and Tim Sheens, and coached alongside Smith during his time at Hull KR, where he did get a taste as interim boss in succeeding his old mentor.
McGuire has done hard yards as an assistant and has an appreciation and understanding of the set-up at the Tigers already having worked on Craig Lingard’s staff.
I don’t think there is a person in rugby league who doesn’t warm to the personality of McGuire, a thoughtful, reflective and decent human being – he is someone you would want to play for.
He seems likely to be joined by old Rhinos team-mate Brett Delaney who has recently left Hull KR’s staff and who is also highly thought of.
Yuki Tsunoda is surprised it has taken Red Bull so long to offer him a Formula 1 test, but thinks elements in the “background” have stopped it happening before now.
As revealed by Motorsport.com earlier this week, Tsunoda is being lined up for his first proper run in a Red Bull F1 car after the season finale in Abu Dhabi.
The details have not been finalised yet – and Tsunoda admits the plan could yet fall through – but he has expressed delight that he appears to be finally getting the opportunity.
“I think that this will happen, maybe” he said ahead of the Mexican Grand Prix. “But with Red Bull Racing, you never know until the day.”
Despite having raced for Red Bull’s sister squad under its AlphaTauri/RB identity since 2021, the Japanese has only ever managed to drive a Red Bull car in demo runs.
Asked if he was surprised it has taken so long to get to this point, Tsunoda said: “If you asked that in the second year or third year I’d be very surprised, but it’s up to me to get used to it.
“I kind of got used to how difficult [it was] to get even a single day [of] testing [when I am] outperforming most of the team-mates previous years.
“But yeah, there are probably things that I didn’t really know [about], something going on around the background that I didn’t know. And for sure, at the same time, there’s probably the view that I’m not really able to improve as much as they wanted at this level, especially for radio communications.”

Although Tsunoda would have hoped to have his Red Bull opportunity before now, he thinks even a single day of running will give him a chance to demonstrate what he can really do.
“It’s a very good opportunity,” he said. “At least I finally can show a bit of my driving and they just can see how I’m driving.
“I think it’s very important. So at least it feels great. Finally, they’re giving me an opportunity. I don’t know if it still happens or not, but there’s something even I heard from them directly. So, yeah, I try to maximize my opportunity.”
Tsunoda has also thanked Honda, which has supported his career and played a key role in pushing Red Bull to give him the F1 run.
“Definitely Honda helped me to push that testing,” he added. “I am very appreciative of them.
“Obviously, I was pushing since already the first race, as well, even for last year. But yeah, I was able to show results that I [have] stepped a little bit more compared to last year and also there was a push to Red Bull as well.”
