I was thinking along the same lines. Similarly, it would be disrespectful at the current time for a mere town to embarrass a city with a royal charter. I trust Luton will conduct themselves accordingly.

People who weren't particularly keen on Ched Evans, perhaps?

Ah, it's probably been delayed out of respect for the Queen's passing. After all it wouldn't be like Wasps to mess the bondholders about, would it...

In true tabloid style then... Five things to make yourself a great king (plus one strange fact). Remove the sword from the stone. Find the Holy Grail. Beat the French in a war. Behead a wife or two. Wave well. (Not be a Catholic)

Casio F91-W, all the watch a man could ever need.... 😁 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Casio_F-91W

I think the FSA was right on this one, and not for the first time the people running football were wrong. https://www.theguardian.com/football/2022/sep/09/football-supporters-association-postponements-tribute-to-queen-misssed-opportunity Maybe the FA/Premier League could show some respect to...

Cov Rugby played their fixture at the Butts tonight. Now I'm not exactly a royalist, and I am very much a Cov Rugby fan, but that felt wrong to me. I caught the end of the commentary (Cov won) and the PA was absolutely blasting out pop music! That was definitely wrong, imho. I'm not for...

Fair play to Truss, this is next level trolling. Perhaps she'll bring back Jeffrey Archer and put him in charge of the Ministry of Justice.

That's how I'm reading it. He's got a substantial investment in Wasps both financially and emotionally, and he knows they're at serious risk from the bondholders (who are understandably mistrustful). Like the owners, I think he'll say anything to discourage the bondholders taking action for...

If companies go bust because they can't or won't cope with a lower cap, then maybe they'd be better back in public ownership. Here's a better option: Re-nationalise the main energy retailers, at a cost of around 3bn (current share value). That's about the same as the Government has put in over...

I'm pretty sure there are better options. I'd start with ones that don't involve loaning private companies public money so that they can continue to make huge profits in a crisis.

It's the whole 'man/woman of the people' bollocks that well-off Tories try to pull. A bit like Truss claiming that she went to a rough school in Leeds when in fact it was one of the best schools in Yorkshire. They're one of us, you see. They feel our pain.

Can I just say now, before it all starts, I don't think I'm the right person to be 'tribute' for district CV. My archery skills aren't up to it.

I'd suspect a propaganda/psy-ops campaign by Russia here, getting a message like this passed around in an attempt to demoralise Ukrainian forces. Variations of this have been going on for a long time. In the old days it was leaflets and radio broadcasts, I'd guess it's moved on to WhatsApp and...

I think they're hanging an awful lot on this potential refinancing of the bond. I'm not convinced it's going to happen, personally, but even if it does it doesn't resolve the huge structural issues at Wasps. If anything taking on more debt at higher interest (which seems the most probable...

In fairness Palmer is 25 and Kane is 28, so neither of them are completely ancient yet. If either of them have (or had) outstanding seasons then you could probably expect a reasonable profit if you then wanted to sell them on. I even get why we might have reasonably expected more from Waghorn...

Absolutely, which is why the bondholders are getting organised to take action. There's a pattern of behaviour here which has become evident - keep kicking the can down the road and hope for the best. Investors and creditors get tired of that eventually...

Not illegal, but they clearly said that they would formalise a consent solicitation process in August, and they've evidently not done so. It's going to even further erode the trust between the bondholders and the club, which is already at rock bottom in any case. If or when a deal is...

I've got to be honest and say that I'm not sure it's quite as bad as some here feel, though I respect opinions differ. If we take Luton as an example of "good" recruitment it looks like they also often look for Championship experience. And like us, not all of their recruitment necessarily works...

A little from column A, a little from column B. 🙂 We're definitely not getting the rub of the green at the moment, but possibly we're not doing enough to make our own luck either. The delayed start to the season hasn't done us any favours, but that looked like an odd team selection too, imho...
