Some unexpected results this week but shouldn't be surprised it's been an unpredictable start to the season. Packers seem reminiscent of McCarthy,'s last season there when Rodgers was doing his best to get him fired. Has Brady gone one season too long? Defense can carry teams - cowboys, jets...

Rugby family waking up to the realities of being a fully professional sport and having to be a business first and foremost. No doubt Wasps took some support and other income from Cov rugby. Seems right and sensible Cov rugby try and capitalize on the situation - they aren't responsible in...

They need to stop this in race coaching again. Let drivers figure it out unless it is a safety issue.

SISU are trapped. Club is at the peak of its capabilties if it can hold as a mid-table Championship club but wage pressure at that level will increase. Trapped by level of debt (that ultimately is held by their investors) that means no-one will buy the club at a price necessary to clear those...

Surely the issue for players is that all the teams are on a salary cap that was mainly filled before the season started. There isn't any money to pay these players what they were on. No team is going to have the Launchbury 400k wage space at this stage of the season

The old smoke and mirrors cashflow. On Wasps attendances one big concert does probably equal 5 prem matches in cashflow. Cashflow doesn't mean profit. More a reflection on rugby income rather the concert income. But maybe figures NEC would be looking at in their bid for the arena. Also plenty...

Story was that concerns were raised last time stadium was valued for bond purposes. But obviously Wasps couldn't afford to have stadium value decreased.

When they stopped handing out so many free tickets and no-one was coming back to buy them?

2021 accounts show Richardson owed 18m still and his Maltese company 10.6m (with charges)

There is around 30 million owed to Richardson personally and his Maltese hedge fund.

Didn't they miss 2 league games? Wasps don't field a side Oct 30th (next league game) then they are gone.

Lots of models make sense if absolutely everything falls into place -but things rarely fall exactly into place. Organisation used the 35 million to clear existing debt - council & Richardson. But so many flawed assumptions were made in costing the move.eg how many paying supporters they could...

Wrote one good piece then a load of lazy rubbish afterwards

Got curious so checked the 2019 accounts. There was 12.5m CVC cash and they revalued the P share upwards by 4.1m. otherwise they would have lost around 11m that year. So one off income of 16.6m hiding the fact that it was always a business still losing around 10m a year. Or at 17 pound a ticket...

Yes. There's accounts available online.

Vaughan said it was pre-Covid so maybe a bit early for Commonwealth games? Plus Commonwealth games cash probably went to ACL?

Trained there for a while

Players would be mad to use it. Pick up an injury and kiss goodbye to a new club

Possibly when they had a big chunk of money from CVC Premiership deal

he's got to try and justify his mismanagement somehow
