    Early kick offs - the future?

    Both France & now Germany have nationalised energy providers, as the market for energy is damaging their domestic economy. In the UK we are borrowing £100 billion to subsidise the energy companies, which will inevitably boost their profits, to try and prevent more damage to our economy. It'll be...

    Wasps going into admin & the impact on CCFC

    The finances of Premiership Rugby Clubs is nuts......similar to the Championship, but at least the clubs in the EFL have the chance to reach the riches of the promised land of the PL. From recent survey of Premiership Rugby clubs only Exeter were showing profits or breaking even pre-Covid. The...

    Wasps going into admin & the impact on CCFC

    My take on recent events is the move towards administration is: a] To buy time for a last ditch attempt to refinance b] Allow Wasps Holdings to appoint an administrator, if it comes to that course of action rather than HMRC or Bond holders Regarding the value of the CBS arena - Pride park was...

    Wasps downward spiral...

    Unless you are an economically illiterate person you would never invest in a Premiership rugby club. Everyone one of the clubs … bar Exeter …. Lose money every year and Wasps business plan is a total basket case. Ultimately it’s us the tax payers of UK who lose out with these situations

    It’ll be interesting to hear the bond holders reaction. They’re going to get shafted

    Wasps downward spiral...

    Alongside the issues of repayment to the bondholders is also the reported outstanding tax bill due to HMRC. I don't understand how a business [Worcester] can have circa £6m of outstanding payments due within a short time. Employer payments are due quartely and I accept corporation tax is paid...

    Robins comments

    Given the story promoted in the FT, I think they are trying to entice a buyer. However, the communications from the club hasn't helped them secure a price they would accept, due to looking for funds., which would make any buyer think SISU are desperate to offload the club. N.B. The late sale of...

    O Hare repair

    I read the lack of any detailed communications on this as the sport science and medical teams being very cautious. Sometimes with these sorts of injuries there can be complications with other muscle groups due to reconditioning during the rehab period. The last thing we need is for him to pick...

    Looks like their 2nd half performance is in symmetry with Wasps Holdings financial performance

    Wasps downward spiral...

    My reading of this statement is to try and stop the bond holders from seeking repayment now, whilst elements of non rugby Wasps holdings are potentially sold. I think the bond holders are likely to lose money here

    By tomorrow morning any dissatisfied player who's not sold will have a choice of sulking, which won't assist them finding the "promised land" of another club on more money and guaranteed selection OR reset themselves and play incredibly well, so they can either earn a new contract or a...

    This has 65 per cent possession for us and 0-1 score line to PNE written all over it.....with PNE time wasting from 4th minute of the game and another defensive howler. I really hope we batter them....it'll be pay back for their dirty tactics from last season
