    Wasps signs have actually gone!!

    What’s happening at Brandon? I’m surprised that the Wasps loving Council haven’t found a load of money to sort that out for them. Wasps and Bees might work together.

    Hypothetical changes to the CBS

    It’s a very Cov thing to put down your own. Never understood why we do. Also, since moving away, I’ve noticed that affectionate p***taking is at a higher level in Cov. Yes it happens elsewhere but not to such a high level. That’s what I’ve found anyway.

    Wasps administrators report

    Yes you are right it was a good point (hence like) So many different signwriters and I’m sure I’d just seen photos of a plain white van. Hold my hands up - missed the relevance.

    I know what you are saying and you are right. Lots of firms now will get a “credit line” against a customer. As soon as they raise an invoice against a customer and feed the info into their bank then the supplying firm will get paid 80/90% of the bill. If the customer has a decent credit rating...

    It’s hard to go after directors. They only have to prove that they had reason to believe that there was a good chance of turning thinks around. I think the term is “blue sky” thinking. Ironically

    Maybe Wasps had a good credit score. Some SME’s might have had credit lines in place for them (Ie could get invoice finance and credit insurance against them). HSBC seemed to be courting along up until mid summer - Wasps would have been glossing their figures - giving HSBC sexed up MI reports...

    I did think the sign company had reclaimed the Stadium signs for non payment and our hopes that the Wasps were gone for good were a bit premature. But then I thought, weren’t the signs bundled into a plain white van, a signwriting company would have a sign written van, right?

    Wasps kitman probably has a shed full of new power tools he can do you a deal on.

    Wasps administrators report

    Page 24 where “COVID had a significant impact” is seemingly an obvious point. Just a mark in the sand here with the statement made by the RugbyPL - something like “Wasps can appeal if they can show the financial problems we’re down to exceptional circumstances (such as COVID)

    Head of Recruitment Chris Badlan and Chief Scout Stuart Benthom have left the Club.

    You are probably right but I’m guessing his wages are low so worth a year or two. He could end up a Ponti, but equally we were going to let McSheff go for £80k and a few years later we got a decent fee (£3m in total?). Sheff was great before he left first time. If Tavares isn’t costing much...

    Hope so. Tavares maybe not. Rest? Off the payroll please.

    Head of Recruitment Chris Badlan and Chief Scout Stuart Benthom have left the Club.

    Maybe posted elsewhere but Chris Allen also gone? (to be fair didn’t know he was here) (or he might be doing both roles - not really clear)

    Don’t care. I believe added to the overall debt / amount SISU need to sell up. I can’t be arsed to trade snarky comments. Leave it at that.

    Wasps signs have actually gone!!

    Great insight. Probably funded externally from imaginary money tree? I’d wager added to “investment”. They don’t seem to be flush with spare money to write off on legals. But ok I’m totally wrong and you win the Internet points.

    It’s a long way back but when they “saved us” they were carrying a load of debt to GR. Don’t pin me on it but I think it was £25m to him and a load to others. When they went into admin they had debts of (memory) £60m including that which they had put in themselves. After admin they wrote off...
