Has the NEC ever actually been confirmed as bidding? There was some rumoured interest but for all we know that could have been as little as a phone call and being told the Ashley bid was already well down the line. It seems to have morphed in some peoples minds to a bidding war between Ashley...

Are they pissing money away? If Ashely has paid a £1.2m exclusivity fee why the need to threaten the football club the ground would be locked up if they didn't put more money in?

Not jealous at all. Would love to go to any England game in Australia. Need to get to the Boxing Day test one year.

the bondholders have had years of being told the lease alone is worth far more than the total they are owed. They're now looking at a sale process where there's a suggestion Ashley was lined up before anyone else got a look in. It's very possible they feel they are being short changed. They at...

If this was all Reeves on his own and he hadn't informed anyone conversations were taking place and we believe the 'the council have no involvement' line how was Duggins aware there was information Reeves could share with Ridley that was commercially confidential?

Reeves has been chief exec since 2009, in that time there's a long list of things that you would expect to be a resigning issue yet he is still in post.

So was I, didn't phrase it very well. Having worked at a council in the past it is simply unthinkable to me that something with this potential repetitional damage and level of potential investment would be something undertaken by the CEO with nobody else having any knowledge of it.

I had to check this wasn't a wind up, it isn't. You know things are bad when people like that are calling for resignations.

Nobody is saying the leader of the council has to get permission for any conversation. But do you not think with something that would clearly be hugely controversial and involve such a large amount of money it maybe would have at least been mentioned? If Duggins and the council knew nothing...

27 dates now at the o2, that's got to be a record for most shows in a single tour, add in the dates from the last tour he did and he must be up there in terms of acts who have played the o2 the most times in total.

Great game, thought it was slipping away in the middle of the innings but should have known better with this England side.

Was he one of the investors?

There's not this many good looking women in the crowd when I go to Edgbaston :D In fact there's quite often not enough people to class it as a crowd

Afridi injury looks like it could be key

behind the rate now, this is going to be a nail biter.

This has certainly been an eye opener into the murky world of finance and bonds. It seems Wasps were essentially loaned £35m with, in real terms, no security. Even ignoring the slightly dubious, to say the least, valuations of the lease it seems near impossible to actually enforce the...

10 overs done so we're getting a result today. Time to get the calculators out and make sure we stay ahead of the required rate

Fucking hell, making very tough work of this

He made a comment after one of the games that nobody really seemed to pick up on, can't remember exactly what he said but remember it sounded like there was a problem, its been sorted and we move on from here.
