The Scottish Rugby Union are reportedly more than £25million in debt, but back in February the body's interim chief executive Fred McLeod pledged to support Edinburgh, Glasgow and the Borders for three more years with increased funding.
However, his permanent successor Gordon McKie seemed reluctant to guarantee that when he was appointed last week.
But JP is confident the players, on Glasgow's part at least, will ignore all the off-field problems and focus their energies on the pitch when the new season begins.
He said: "It's no secret that Scottish rugby has had its difficulties for a while but things are starting to get sorted out on the business front and with that the playing front, so we're hoping for a very successful season.
"The future of the three professional clubs doesn't concern me at the moment, all we can do really is get on with the job of playing and leave the business side of things to the guys who know how to do it best.
"We can't do any more than try to get out and win our games.
"There's always pressure to go out and win your matches but in the past couple of seasons we've been in something of a transitional phase.
"But the transitional stage only lasts so long and you have to come through that and start putting points on the board and getting good results and it's time that we did that this season."
JP was in Glasgow's George Square publicising the Warriors' new three-year sponsorship deal with visitScotland.
The Scotland forward insists the deal is beneficial for both the rugby club and for the tourist organisation.
He said: "I think it's a good thing for both parties.
"It's obviously good for Glasgow and Scottish Rugby to get sponsors on board but I think that from the visitScotland point of view as well, they're trying to encourage away supporters to watch their team in Scotland and promote the country as a nice place to come and see."
