Theres a load of bollocks in that interview.
Theres a load of bollocks in that interview.Here's Stephen Vaughan's interview
BBC CWR Sport: Commentary - Wasps go into administration with debts of tens of millions of pounds. - BBC Sounds
In all 167 people have lost their jobs including players and coaching staff.www.bbc.co.uk
HEY! I didn't authorise the use of this
Blame Richardson Bobby. Look on the bright side, he's probably got a shop full of shirts he can give you.Bobby Bridge from the heart:
The darkest day in Wasps' history.
Well, let us digest that statement.
We were expecting Wasps to go into administration, but the most shocking line is that 'joint Administrators were required to make 167 employees redundant, including all members of the playing squads and coaching staff'.
This was the worst-case scenario for fans of the club, and for those employed by Wasps.
They are now out of work. Everything that was built by head coach Lee Blackett and his group, is now in ruins.
Young men whose dreams of playing in black and gold, crushed.
Men and women who depend on the club to pay their bills, now without an income.
The vast majority of these employees live in the real world financially. Modest incomes without great pools of reserves. This isn't football, the rewards in rugby are far, far smaller.
As the statement says, it's a dark day. The darkest in Wasps' history.
And the biggest tragedy of all. I will have to pay for a Rugby Shirt from now on
Well, probably not "forever"
Its not a place, Not a city not a town....
Well thats what happens when your a Francises you have home !

Just had a nice chat with a friend of mine
Works for the council
Can now also say he's Gilberts leak so line up to buy him a pint
From Duggins directly (of course i cannot share on here) wasps are dead. Kaput. Gone. Will no longer be a club let alone in Coventry
There will be a vote on funding ACL in the time being, this is to ensure our games still go ahead, as the stadium at the mo literally hasnt a pot to piss in and contrary to media reports there is NO credible buyer for the stadium
Sisu are being 'strangely quiet' and council and sisu relations are nowhere near as frosty as they were.
The NEC are the only interested party at the mo, have lost 8.5 million in revenue to the CBS and is a case of cant beat them join them however they would not give 2 hoots about CCFC and is the worst possible thing that can happen
Will keep you all posted
Then there's the casino and hotel tooThe council might want to think about splitting the lease up into parts - (1) the exhibition hall and (2) the stadium bowl
if you’re not bullshitting - that NEC part is the one that concerns me and has done.Just had a nice chat with a friend of mine

My understanding is our sub lease is protected so at the very least we have 9 years at the CBS left even if the stadium owners dont care about usJust had a nice chat with a friend of mine

tbh I think the NEC taking over and not giving two hoots about us wouldn't be the worst thing. They can get on with running the hall and putting on events there and we can look after ourselves. Realistically we're not looking at much more than maintaining the pitch and doing that ourselves would be a plus to me.There will be a vote on funding ACL in the time being, this is to ensure our games still go ahead, as the stadium at the mo literally hasnt a pot to piss in and contrary to media reports there is NO credible buyer for the stadium

Could mean more pitch issues etc also would depend on the type of admin/liquidation for the arena as to if it would break the lease. A straight sale should in theory retain the lease.My understanding is our sub lease is protected so at the very least we have 9 years at the CBS left even if the stadium owners dont care about us

we need SISU to get involved asap.

Realistically the NEC would be quite happy to have revenue from hundreds of thousands of people a years and the stadium in use 20-something day a year. Not like they can knock the stadium down and use it as exhibition space and despite what a lot of Wasps fans thought the chance of the number of concerts every summer is slim.
And this is why for The last 8 years to have meant something - SISU have got to buy the damn thing.Could mean more pitch issues etc also would depend on the type of admin/liquidation for the arena as to if it would break the lease. A straight sale should in theory retain the lease.
Theres not even been any suggestion that they are interestedAnd this is why for The last 8 years to have meant something - SISU have got to buy the damn thing.
we all assumed Joy’s plan was to wait out wasps - now they’ve fucked off its time for them to strike
I reckon Ashley would be interested in ACL
Theres not even been any suggestion that they are interested
I agree 100% I will be fucking delighted if we are finally the masters of our own destiny.And this is why for The last 8 years to have meant something - SISU have got to buy the damn thing.

We are unlikely to hear anything about potential bidders until such time as due diligence is completed. These things are rarely done in the public domain.The only bid we’ve actually heard of is NEC right?
Surly they must be? Why bother with all the court action in relation to the undervaluation in the lease wasps took? It's whether they are interested at a sensible valuation, or do they want it for nothing.Theres not even been any suggestion that they are interested

No, it means the administrators would be in control of the arena.ACL have 2 weeks before they two will go into administration, that's when Ashley will strike.
If nothing happens then the football will be locked out of the CBS arena.
By the toilet ?????Id hope so. One of the reasons I write off any bid we first hear about from the Telegraph.
Impatient now. New owners by the WC please.
I know we all said this before Wasps turned up but after the disaster its been for them can we really see another team giving it a go? Realistically who could come anywhere close to getting 10K let alone 30K?But they're hardly going to have an empty sports pitch are they, and you can't get rid of the pitch either. The main issue is that the club remains in the same state for the foreseeable future, until it has its own ground.
The NEC Group has been diversifying in the last couple of years into owning and operating other venues so it fits pretty much perfectly for them.Would the NEC be that interested though?
They’d get the exhibition hall to put events on which is smaller than their venue in Brum.
Would only be able to have concerts in the bowl for 3 months of the year, if that.
It just doesn’t seem viable. The only way I see the arena being profitable is with it being attached to a Premier League team.
