I make no bones about it, I do not care about Wasps RFC and if the collateral damage from this was their liquidation then good. They are after all part of a group of clubs that have created a closed shop top flight.

Shugs over on Drunken Wasps

He's just preparing a story "Investors planning £13m boost for top rugby club"

Good for Walker if he's doing it, gets a lot of unfair criticism for being lazy cos he's got a languid style

Jesus wept what nonsense

I thought that but discovered that they appointed a full time CEO last year

Can't help but think an irritated councillor has released the story, if so, fair play to them

He's massively conflicted, ex ACL director heavily involved in the ACL / CCC / SISU dispute, massively invested his own reputation in the Wasps project. If only the Tories hadn't obliterated the independent Audit functions overseeing xentral and local government...

Not sure how the council can make an application to a body of which its a member with voting rights on behalf of a third party? Seems a bit weird

Interesting thought, perhaps a condition of any lending from HSBC is that any known issues with the stadium are addressed. The council owns the freehold of the land, Wasps is a long leaseholder. The argument that it is a council owned asset isn't very strong imo.

Wherever the application is up to, there is no chance they are going to meet the deadline they set themselves of the end of the month to pay bondholders, unless WMCA can somehow circumvent all of its internal governance processes.

I've heard that, think it might have been mentioned on here as well
