On the basis that SISU seem happy to make promises that they won't necessary fulfil, I think it's likely that they'll tell TM what he wants to hear. On that basis he'll stay. The impact on season ticket sales if he goes will be a big driver for them here. However, whether they'll action the...

Ah, I'd pay to have that much hair on top. The rest is pretty accurate though. :)

Again, from the prospectus. I read this a bit as Wasps saying "the valuation experts that we've paid for, find that the Arena leasehold is worth loads of money (please lend us some more so that we can pay something back to that bloke who keeps us running, and also keep our heads above water for...

Here's the stuff from the prospectus relating to the lease (page 22 of 276). In essence CCC can claim back the lease if ACL goes pop. Though it's not black and white what happens in that circumstance, it's acknowledged as a risk in the second paragraph. In essence claiming in the media that...

Me too - I've just got a much wider centre parting than I used to have. By way of recompense, I can grow lots more hair in my nose and ears these days.

Not often that I'd disagree with you OSB, but the Ricoh leasehold belongs to ACL, and if ACL go bust the lease reverts to the council, doesn't it? In other words, if you bought a bond and and ACL failed for any reason (most likely Wasps going under), the Ricoh Arena itself could not be sold to...

It's a fair enough point-of-view that - but I wonder if a different manager might have had a similar effect with him still here... Regardless, player-of-the-season, Danny Swanson all day long. Why are we even bothering to discuss this. :)

A bit more to him than just being good on facebook, perhaps. ;)

No court in the country would be that mean.

No, no - there's the alternative scenario where we're back at the Ricoh and the council and SISU sit back for a couple of years and y'know, rebuild trust. Like that nice man from the council proposed when we moved back from Northampton. In this scenario, after a year or two it's obvious that...

Indeed. Although if Mowbray said publicly let's take our time and build a bit of trust before talking about contracts, and then it turned out he'd done another deal behind our backs at exactly the same time as saying it - then presumably he'd be slated here, no?

Absolutely Otis, that's fair enough. I'd just like it if we started to hear the right noises from the club for once - y'know stuff like Fisher or Waggott saying that they're really happy with what TM is doing, and are hoping to persuade him to stay, etc. Show the bloke some love. I take your...

Just scored too... brilliant for the lad. :)

Although currently we might be in for a bit of deflation. As city fans we're used to being deflated... ;) Regardless, even without the politics I think the money would be safer under the mattress than in Wasps bonds.

If you think he's the right man for the job, why wouldn't you negotiate now with contingencies for whether we stay up or go down? We've had this kind of rubbish before from SW, with players like Murphy who might have stayed had the club been a bit quicker to talk to him. It is, as with most...

If we end up on the same points, goal difference, and goals scored, then it comes down to our records against each other. That's one draw and one defeat against County, and we'd go down. And to answer your second question - yes. :)

Again, commercial leases are nothing like buying a flat. There are all sorts of clauses around what happens in the case of insolvency, and the right to transfer (sell, if you prefer) to third-parties. If ACL goes tits up, the lease reverts to CCC - if you go broke you can sell your flat. Big...

What I saw at the Ricoh was a team that was disorganised at the back, and didn't seem to have a clue how to score going forward. The goalie in particular was all over the place when put under pressure. And I'm talking about Crewe here, btw, and we lost 1-3 to them! Mowbray's got some serious...

They plod on, I guess. Just with some serious questions about how good their business model really is. It raises the sort of questions the council should've asked before getting into bed with them, perhaps.

6.5% with no security against a company who have very nearly gone to the wall once, and are currently reliant on the whim of an individual owner to survive, isn't high enough for me. I note the original page is down at the moment - http://www.wasps.co.uk/the-club/bonds - insert own conspiracy...
