SBB’s comments are pretty telling

Despite all the scoffing we can play hard ball it’s obvious we knew we had to sell this window. We have over valued our players and can’t sell. It sounds like both clubs are teetering on the brink

Having looked at the photos if we go ahead and play there’s an ACL injury waiting to happen

We’ll probably just have to forfeit like Leyton Orient did last season.

Well considering the Wasps Are Fucked thread is about six years old at this point, I figure we’ve got a while before we need to worry.

Oh I don’t think there’s any question in the rental agreement liability falls to wasps - the sensible posters on the wasps forums acknowledge there will be repercussions

the hilarious thing is nobody has a fucking clue what’s going on about this finances and transfer discussions, but everyone’s just invented random shite in their heads to get through the boredom of a boring transfer window

it’s like that game telephone where you all write a sentence down fold it up and pass it on.

One person invents some shite, people argue about whether it is indeed shite or not, then it somehow gets accepted as truth, but then someone else makes up some other shite to make the previous shite more plausible

mental the lot of you

Aye, the guy who has been leaking transfers, team news and the return to the Ricoh for the past year and a half has decided to suddenly just start making a load of shit up for shits and giggles. Seems likely. Head in the sand shite this.

He claimed both parties are in trouble last night and once again reaffirmed that a sale was needed.

The club probably isn't on the brink, but they're clearly facing some serious cash flow issues over the coming month if games are postponed/rearranged to be played away. Especially if a sale was definitely needed this summer - another comment that has come directly from SBB.

So surely we would have took what was offered for our most saleable assets if this was the case?

A club can also be wary of their financial situation , yet still be absolutely NOWHERE NEAR the brink .

i don’t really know what the MR01 raised in June actually is but I assume it’s a ARVO Fund loan - if that’s the case then the club already has had a cash flow loan issued - it’s certainly at least a change of terms - it’s been claimed season ticket revenue isn’t paid out until games are played - this game alone means another shortfall in anticipated revenue of £300,000

To be fair we don’t know what the terms are. No point accepting 8.5 if we only get 1m up front.

From what the ITKs were saying we wanted most of it up front.

Not really. SBB is usually bang on the money when he says somethings happening from a transfer perspective but 80% of his/hers posts start with “I’m not sure if” or “I’m unsure that” and everyone runs around screaming about it like it’s concrete.

Then people like Jonny opposite add fuel to the fire with other “assumptions” and everyone’s tearing their hair out over shit that’s not even happened yet.

It’s bizarre

“Sounds a lot like”
“Noises of”

….
next week the consensus will be “OMG BODDY CHEAPED OUT ON A LAWYER SO THE CONTRACT DIDNT EVEN LET US INTO THR STADIUM AND THEY CAN DO WHAT THEY WANT WITH THE PITCH”

So the owners of the pitch who we pay to maintain it to the standards required so its suitable and fit for purpose arnt to blame.

its like hiring a car that when you get it the engine doesnt work but in your eyes it would be the fault of the customer not the hire company.

In the event of CBS fixtures being postponed I very much doubt your daft rental car analogy will wash with the FL.
They would quite rightly hold the club owners responsible for providing a playable surface for home games.
