but where does that £4m a year come from when they're losing millions a year already?

given they have had years with essentially an interest only loan, and even to meet the payments on that they had to borrow enough to ring fence money for the interest payments, how on bath are they going to service a loan at a higher interest rate moving forward? I don't see any business plan...

Months ago they were releasing statements saying similar, what makes anyone owned money think things will be different this tie round? Reads to me as more stalling and hoping the bond holders will just sit on their hands and do nothing while not getting their money back on some vague promise...

There was a chap from Lords cricket ground on the other day about how much the cost of having the floodlights on had increased. Would expect something like that would just be included in our rent, doubt its a separate cost passed on, in which case Wasps are paying out more but receiving no more...

Its good news apparently, talk about heads in the sand

It won't be a good thing if we're doing it on a minimal budget. Trying to build virtually an entire squad on free transfers and out of contract players won't be easy.

its the positivity on here that keeps me going :ROFLMAO:

Its not brilliant but its certainly not a disaster. All we've heard over the summer is keep the big 3, which they've done, albeit likely only due to COH injury. What we need now is COH back as quickly as possible and no other key players being out for any length of time

Won't be as good as this

I thought Wasps had said a consent solicitation process would be formalised in August, must have got my dates mixed up. When did they say they'd have that out by?

Hasn't another deadline just past with nothing happening. How many deadlines can they miss before there's some action taken?

At the risk of this turning into the Brexit thread is there any reason he wouldn't get a work permit or have the rules changed post-Brexit?

its a lot easier to bring prospects through or promise PL clubs their players will be in the side when you're in L1 / L2. Realistically how many players we currently see in the U23s would we be happy coming into the side? PL sides loaning championship quality players will want a significant...

We've only got ourselves to blame with things like this. There's been repeated warnings that have been ignored so you end up with OTT solutions like this.

We need players in but I fear our best case scenario is nobody else going out

Well its an interesting selection. Guess we'll know in a couple of hours if it was a good idea or not. Not convinced about punishing Hamer, a suspension and fine is surely enough. Not like we've got a squad overflowing with replacements. I guess Robins can't keep picking Moore when he's...

What I can't get my head round is professional rugby and the Premiership are both relatively new. They had every chance of setting things up in a way that would have been sustainable long term but instead have for some reason decided rugby is going to suddenly be as popular as football if they...

This is always the problem, you only need one person the mix who is asking unimportant questions and they can derail the whole thing. Sure we all remember when the club was deep in the shit and people were asking about badges.

Saw this today and thought it was worth resurrecting the thread for. Some interesting, and slightly worrying, data on health outcomes following recovery from covid. https://www.ft.com/content/26e0731f-15c4-4f5a-b2dc-fd8591a02aec

We used to do the ticketing in house and if more than two people were on the site at the same time it fell over completely! Does anyone really trust the club to come up with a bespoke ticketing system that can cope with demand, runs smoothly and interfaces with he stadium ticket scanners...
