    Wasps going into admin & the impact on CCFC

    Wonder what percentage of those who purchased bonds were people with experience of investing who would understand this type of thing and what percentage were Wasps fans who believed the rubbish about being the biggest and richest club in the world and now have a big hole in their finances.

    Wasps going into admin & the impact on CCFC

    Not sure why we're going over all this again but there were 6 bidders weren't there and I seem to recall not all 6 were ever named but we know of Manhattan, Shapiro, Hopkins and SISU. SISU being the only ones who didn't want stadium ownership and therefore the councils preferred bidder.

    The problem is the wrong people are earning the money and it's those same people, the ones at the top on big salaries, who are charged with implementing any cuts. They aren't going to turn round and say their own job isn't needed so you end up with cuts to the frontline workers.

    Wasps going into admin & the impact on CCFC

    More legal action on the way? Although I don't really see how the bondholders can get themselves organised as it seems the trustee refuses to put them in contact with each other. If I was a bondholder I'd certainly be looking at claims that Ashley had a head start and wonder how hard the...

    Managed to get through, no trick just hammering refresh constantly until it loaded. They'll add stacks more dates once general sale starts.

    169 to win, definitely getable but enough that scoreboard pressure could come in to play.

    Property Surveyors

    I spoke to my solicitor about it but she said surveyors but so many get outs in the small print you've got no chance. Same with the sellers, they can sell knowing there's all sorts of issues but unless you've directly asked them a question and they've lied you're stuck. Even then the chances of...

    Wasps going into admin & the impact on CCFC

    In reality how would that work? The trustee for the bondholders has done absolutely nothing up to this point and the bondholders who have enquired about a way of contacting other bondholders so they can work together have been told this isn't possible. Is it one of those things that looks great...

    America

    That's pretty much it I think. Guess it's similar to when we have local elections in the middle of a parliamentary term, its generally expected the opposition does well but that doesn't necessarily translate to the next general election. Seems the Republicans were expected to do far far better...

    One thing I'm not sure on if MA has a period of exclusivity why isn't he putting up the money to keep ACL running, doesn't exclusivity usually come at a cost?

    Wasps going into admin & the impact on CCFC

    Although if you think there's any truth in what Byng has said MA's horse would have been halfway round the track before anyone else knew there was a race on. It all bears a remarkable similarity to what came out over the years about the deal with Wasps where, if I recall correctly, it emerged...

    Wasps going into admin & the impact on CCFC

    Byng posted this on twitter, "Mr. Ashley, or his team, were probably approached by Wasps. From my records, I note that I was approached for information by someone purporting to act for Mr. Ashley on 2nd August 2022, before the final date for refinancing the Bond." If there's any truth in that...

    Qatar World Cup 2022

    Plus I'd imagine not as many people traveling to them. People turning up for a weekend at the F1 is going to be a lot different to large numbers of football fans turning up for a month

    New boiler

    My boiler has packed up today. Had a quote of £2,625 to replace it. Although the quote includes a smart thermostat and I've already got a Hive.

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    I'm always slightly dubious of the unemployment figures, seems to be regular changes to how they're measured and not sure they really allow you to make much of a comparison. You can be on a zero hours contact barely getting any hours and be classed as employed as far as the figures go. The...
