    Wasps going into admin & the impact on CCFC

    Even if it's completely fictional, it is at least plausible. I'd be happy with that as an outcome, personally speaking.

    Wasps going into admin & the impact on CCFC

    It's bollocks anyway, Coventry City were never given the option to bid on a 250 year leasehold. The council only ever offered that to Wasps. Like most Cov Wasps fans, he's struggling with the simple truth of the matter.

    Wasps going into admin & the impact on CCFC

    I'm not keen on Ashley either in truth, a pretty shabby man in many ways, but I guess I'd prefer him to SISU (assuming he's not out to bleed the club dry). Either way, I guess the administrator won't be needing my tenner now. 😁

    Wasps going into admin & the impact on CCFC

    I'm not sure a few thousand fans (at most) every few weeks, and a permanently damaged pitch would make it worthwhile to whoever ends up running the arena. I'm pretty sure that the football side of the club would rather not share the pitch. Edit: Just to add, it would be unethical too. Wasps do...

    Wasps going into admin & the impact on CCFC

    Too late for Ashley to be involved in the Wasps adminstration, an offer has already been accepted from the "Wasps Legends" (ahem) for the rugby business. https://www.bbc.com/sport/rugby-union/63447055 Thank fuck for that too, I wouldn't want them anywhere near the CCFC business. Should never...

    Wasps going into admin & the impact on CCFC

    Just to add, it's likely to be a good while before Wasps come out of admin, lots of RFU hoops to jump through. I can't see the ACL thing taking anywhere near as long to resolve, but don't hold me to it!

    Wasps going into admin & the impact on CCFC

    Completely agree mate, it's just a fair size 'if' at the moment. If they do get a new deal to play at the CBS I'm looking forward to even bigger lies about their attendances. They'll be lucky to get 2000 in the championship once the excitement wears off. If they're going to rent a pitch...

    Wasps going into admin & the impact on CCFC

    Technically it's not theirs, of course. It would be funny if the new owners of Wasps decided they didn't want to use it, but in reality I'd guess the slimy bastards that stole it from the local community would just sell it for housing anyway and still profit. Stinks, as with most Wasps related...

    Wasps going into admin & the impact on CCFC

    Absolutely, which really pisses me off when you've got people like Clive on CWR point-blank denying it when it's mentioned by callers. It might be that we'll get the money back later, but right now it's clear that the club had to put the money in up front. That's obviously an unexpected cost...

    Stay calm and not react to rumour? Where's the fun in that! Nick would have to close the forum down (and I'd have to do some work too, I suppose). 😄

    Wasps going into admin & the impact on CCFC

    Not embarrassing mate, moving here was wrong from the very beginning and they deserved to fail for both that and their staggering hubris, imho. I'm not celebrating a load of people losing their jobs, but if Wasps end up back in London as a championship club it'll feel like the right outcome to...

    Wasps going into admin & the impact on CCFC

    I'd guess it'll be like Worcester. Relegated to the championship, whole new squad. No lease though, no 'P' shares, but no debt. As long as they bugger off back down south I guess I couldn't care less.

    Wasps going into admin & the impact on CCFC

    The trustee is supposed to be acting on the bondholders behalf, but has been remarkably inactive so far. However, at some point he's going to be obliged to step in. There's no way he could just let the lease slip away without challenge; if he does you'd think the bondholders would have a serious...

    Wasps going into admin & the impact on CCFC

    It's the same issue though, the bondholders have a mortgage on the lease, so they're not going to let it just revert to the council. If either the administrator or the council try to disclaim the lease, I think the bondholder (or at least their trustee) would go to court to stop it happening...

    Defence is looking.... interesting! I reckon the plan is to let them punch themselves out and then have a go ourselves in the second half. FFS.

    If my wife said it was my fault that we we were getting kicked out of somewhere where we were paying rent and had a lease because I hadn't built a new house, I'd say she was off her fucking tits. Let's not use shit analogies eh, we've got a lease, we're paying the rent, this isn't our fault no...
