Reports in France claims that second-tier Beziers, who are subject of a huge takeover, are interested in bringing Michael Cheika in as head coach.
If their project succeeds, the consortium plan to inject 10 million euros from the first season in order to pay off the debts of the club, buy back the loans in progress and, above all, "recruit heavy".
Ma'a Nonu, Dan Biggar, Juan Imhoff and Beauden Barrett are among the international stars linked with a move to the club with RugbyRama suggesting they've already approached the Wales fly-half.
Gabriel Lacroix ( La Rochelle ), Benjamin Fall ( Montpellier ), Yohann Vivalda ( Perpignan ), Charly Malié ( Pau ), Emmanuel Saubusse ( Bayonne ), Clément Daguin (Paris) are also targets for 'France's sleeping giants'.
The UAE investors have been given an ultimatum of tomorrow night to give financial guarantees to the current owners or the takeover could collapse.
