I've got absolutely no issue with Wasps fans, I've got a few mates who go occasionally, but as politely as I can put it, they never belonged in this City and I'd be massively against the football club being in any way involved with them. Without being in any way sarcastic, if you've found a...

Fiscally incompetent things too, it would seem. Other than as a vehicle for the insane, the inane, or the corrupt, what actually is the purpose of the Conservative party now?

Two quick thoughts: HMRC don't "blindside" anyone. They'll have been very clear on what they want and when they want it, and Wasps will have had plenty of time to settle up before any winding-up order would have been threatened. If Wasps are in this spot because they can't find £2m, then...

"Radio Inane" would be a better name for 90% of CWR output. It's got worse and worse over the years, to the point where the only thing I listen to nowadays is the sports coverage. Anyone who doesn't understand why there's a significant proportion of their listeners who might be happy to see...

Sorry for the double post. Curse these fat fingers....

It's entirely possible to dislike all of the parties involved of course. Indeed I suspect most who really take an interest, do. Wasps no doubt similarly love the idea that some might see them as entirely blameless, I just don't think the evidence stacks up to support that theory.

Coventry RFC were on an upward course before Wasps got here. Attendances increased despite them not because of them. Again the promise to play on Sundays not Saturdays, Premiership versus Championship rugby literally on your doorstep. C'mon. The council and Wasps did a secret deal to sell our...

I suspect it's more to do with HMRC policy on how long they'll wait for payment before taking action. I don't think it's a coincidence that Wasps and Worcester are both under threat from HMRC, I'd guess they've got similar filing dates for tax purposes...

The EMP from the false flag NATO nuke will trigger the nanoparticles in the vaccine? This is definitely one of the less plausible but more entertaining conspiracy theories I've read in a while. I'd genuinely worry about anyone who did believe it, but there are probably some out there... As a...

And because they're leaking money like there's no tomorrow. Tena pads ain't going to cover it...

Their was a detailed risk statement in the bond prospectus that covered the lease situation, and the possibility of it returning to the council if Wasps became insolvent. So basically it was the bondholder's responsibility to be aware of that I think. In truth it sounds like if it went to court...

It's a sub-lease, and as I understand it remains binding on whoever ends up with the head lease. So we'll stay on the same terms unless both parties want to renegotiate. This is why the people flapping about us getting kicked out are mistaken, imho.

As far as the RFU are concerned, even a notice of administration is an insolvency event. That's how the bondholders will see it too, I think. If there was a concrete plan for refinancing, then they'd never have taken this step. If they can avoid actually going into administration at this point...

It's a well thought out post NW, but I think you've highlighted one of the major issues; a lot of us would not want Wasps to be any part of CCFC (and vice versa with many of their fans I suspect). The other point that I know I'm boring on about, is that Wasps do not make money. They got to 2nd...

I was thinking, I'd love that job. But then I realised you'd have to squeeze in next to Mike Ashley every day. :)

I know it's remarkably petty and small-minded, but I do like the idea of having Wasps as our tenants, at least for a little while. We could close their shop, take their logos down, give them a tiny changing room, cancel their first six home games with no notice, and then fuck 'em off to...

I genuinely can't see why anyone would want to buy Wasps in their current state - they've never turned a profit despite owning the stadium, being in the top division, and having £35m to invest. They've literally been at the top of the cycle and it still hasn't been enough. Someone might want...

There's a fair bit of history between Hindu and Muslim of course, but imho this is basically rampant sectarianism fuelled by lunatics on social media. At one point, probably in the mid-90s, I genuinely thought the world was becoming a calmer, more civilised place, and then Twitter and Facebook...

Could this finally be the thing that encourages them to get shot of Putin? This plus that Russian 'Celine Dion' shouting out about how crazy the war is... perhaps the message is starting to get through?

Better nits than crabs, I'd say.
