More likely that at 3-0 up they could ease off for the second 45

The comment that keeps getting repeated on BBC is that we don't look interested and have no desire whatsoever. That's very worrying. Can't put that down to a bad day at the office.

"Coventry don't look like they have anything to offer"

Another low point. Very telling that the BBC said our players ambled out for the second half like they couldn't care less.

Thank god none of the streams worked.

Don't worry chaps, we're concentrating on the league.

Could do with avoiding a replay as its been said these sort of games lose us money at the Ricoh. Expect we'll go with the best side we can, we aren't good enough to be resting players. Will be a tough game but hopefully we'll sneak it.

I must be missing something then as in the Strutt and Parker valuation report dated 23 April 2015 it explicitly states that the valuation is the market value they would expect a buyer to pay on that date.

How do the JRs cost Wasps time or money?

From the valuation report:

So you're saying the independent valuation carried out to enable the lease to act as security for the bonds doesn't reflect the true value of the lease but is a number that has been arrived at for accounting purposes? Are you suggesting the true value is less and the bond holders don't actually...

That would, in my opinion, mean the council's valuation would be classed as an error of fact.

A JR isn't just on the grounds of legality, you can have followed the letter of the law but still lose a JR. Unless I've missed something what OSB has said is the figure Wasps paid is the value of ACL which is not the same as the lease. However that doesn't mean the valuation of the lease...

If the club is linked I certainly hope there's no suggestion they have done anything to cover it up as it starting to be suggested elsewhere.

What evidence can CCC give to show they maximised the return for the taxpayer? There are certainly questions around the value of the lease given the price Wasps paid for ACL and the lease extension compared to the lease valuation immediately after. If the £48.5m valuation of the lease stands up...

That's the question that should be being asked by the local media. Along with asking why they were happy negotiating with Anderson, negotiations Wasps themselves said were going well and then all of a sudden walked away and refused further talks.

Surely thats a good thing? We know Anderson was in talks with Wasps months ago to extend the deal before Wasps pulled out of talks and have refused to speak to the club since. If getting Collins involved means everyone gets back round the table I don't see what the problem is with it.

You don't seriously think that SISU purchased the club 9 years ago purely to sell Ryton a decade down the line do you?

And one who have just admitted that they're more interested in property development than running a rugby club, let alone a football club. Are those that want Wasps to take us over happy for us to be moved as leverage for another property deal?
