Birmingham Council are to blame. They loaned the club £20m towards the huge amount of work they had done a few years ago and wanted the name changed to promote the city. After fans went nuts over it one of the councillors said he couldn’t understand why people were upset!

Seems theatres and venues have been told no audiences allowed until 2021 at the earliest and the DCMS won’t even be carrying out further assessments on the viability of audiences returning until the end of the year.

Would be interesting to know how many EFL clubs have given automatic refunds.

Are you thinking of Stuart Cain? Joined Wasps as Commercial Director in Sep 2017, made Chief Exec in one of their other rounds of changes at the top in Aug 2019 and left in May.

Changes at the top again. What’s this now, the third or fourth time they’ve made changes at the management / executive level to try and get them out of the shit?

Not much above what they already pay for the rights I wouldn’t have thought. Despite the distinct lack of anything else to show they’re not even bothering to put half the games on TV, they’ll be available on the BT Sport app!

You forgot to mention they’ve also just been handed £5m of taxpayers money.

A lot of companies are acting like the rules suddenly don’t apply due to coronavirus. It’s blatant these positions will be required when lockdown ends. You can be certain the hope is they don’t find another job, which let’s face It is a reasonable assumption at the moment, and will then come...

Much as I hate Wasps sad to see yet more redundancies there. Seems to be a round of ‘restructuring’ every few months. Recognise the name, got a feeling she’s is, or rather was, their marketing manager. Surely one of the last positions you’d make redundant. Would be interesting to dig into the...

On what planet is Ian Duncan Smith a mate of remainers?

If you believe that makes a difference perhaps you can explain how the Conservative councillor voting to sell sell the Ricoh to Wasps has helped our situation?

"The Conservative party in Coventry has a policy of supporting Coventry City Football Club", is that a different Conservative party to the one which voted to sell Wasps the Ricoh?

We won't be far behind when furlough ends. I'm still off and had a look at what I'd qualify for in terms of benefits if the worst comes to the worst. I've got a relatively small mortgage, £560 a month, I'd get £410 a month on universal credit. Bizarrely if I was still renting and not a home...

Seems like one step forward ten steps back for the trust. Couple of recent statements that have made people a bit more optimistic things might be changing then they go and have an AGM that isn't broadcast, ridiculous in the current situation, and bring in someone like Bird.

IMO as much as we'd all like to know about things that went on in the past its of limited benefit in terms of moving things forward. Would rather persistent questioning to get an answer on key points than go in with a list of 50 questions, think that lets them brush aside the ones they don't...

He means the Wasps training ground. When they came here it was a promised new state of the art facility available to the public. That changed to booting our academy out of Higgs and doing a refurb. Then it was going to br at Old Leamingtonians, they evicted their tenants to make way for Wasps...

How much do they think the money given to Wasps will generate for the local economy and what is the basis for their claims? Why does the Ricoh need so much work to host a couple of days judo, is it not being properly maintained? Has the council analysed how much is lost to the local city each...

Brilliant performance from Ireland but some sloppy bowling from England. Thought Ireland had blown it when England got 328 after being 44-3 but excellent batting performance and centuries for Stirling and Balbirnie,.

Well that's good news then as I'm sure he can supply a link to the minutes from the council meeting where they voted on the sale of the Ricoh to Wasps and lease extension that nobody has ever been able to track down.

Any of these names ring a bell, keen to know who I should start slagging off :)
