Well there are other ways he can use the club to benefit himself beyond improving our league position - he has a history of trying to take out loans using stadiums as security, for example.

Well he ‘achieved’ all that at Newcastle who are a much bigger club than us - mapping out the same plan onto a team like us is much less exciting (and involves a fair amount of League One) If his biggest selling point is that he might one day sell us on to someone richer/better then why should...

They finished above midtable once and were relegated twice - up to you whether you class that as ‘festering’ but why do you expect he’ll have more ambition with us?

Was that what you asked for? In any case, as mad as the Geordies may be, I don’t think anyone should be ignoring their concerns completely. Financial stability 15 years from now with a couple of relegations to League One in between might be OK, but I’m not sure it’s worth tracking his...

Yes, unfortunately it’s unheard of in the modern game.

Someone with a track record of ambition and major investment would be nice?

There are worse business models in football than financial stability and the occasional relegation, but you won’t find me waving any palm leaves to celebrate someone coming in and promising that.

I’m guessing it’s the sustained fan campaign to get him out of the only other team he’s ever owned, their chequered track record under his ownership, and his dubious management practices in his day-to-day business.

When your mate asks if you have any more 50p coins to break the record on Time Crisis 2:

We all laughed when Wasps and their fans got kicked out of the arena, but turns out some of those flags were actually load bearing.

Why won’t you give them more money as well then? Not doing so could threaten our survival.

We’ve got inflation at 10%, record energy prices and mortgage rates heading through the roof - I’m not going to blame a working bloke for getting a refund for something they’ve bought rather than let an incompetent hedge fund keep it. Bullshit to suggest someone’s less of a fan for doing so either.

Well I’m not responsible for running the club’s finances. I supported the club by buying a season ticket in exchange for a ticket to home games in Coventry. If they can no longer offer me that, then give me my refund and I’ll see if I can make it to Walsall/Northampton/Brum/Burton etc. I assume...

Keep on puffing out your chest about an imaginary internet bet if you like, but you’ve got confused - I’ve never said the HMRC issue is going to bankrupt the club. My point is that keyboard warriors like yourself are rushing to downplay it based on nothing more than a club statement, straight...

…….no?

Your charity bet (which I won’t be taking) isn’t relevant to my point. I’m sure plenty of naive Wasps fans would have happily offered (and won!) bets over the years that Wasps weren’t imminently going bust. Just another thing that you would have in common.

No - like most clubs in financial distress, I think we’ll find a way to bluff our way through for the time being and postpone the big battle for another day. Even Wasps managed it for a few years, after all. Having a load of online loyalists swallow the party line that everything’s ok makes it...

I’m sure all of CCFC’s financial problems will be totally sorted by the end of the year - Boddy’s statement says there was nothing to worry about! Anyway - how about those Wasps fans? So naive!

Lol are we already at the ‘If you’re worried about our finances you’re not a true believer’ stage of the Wasps tribute act?
