The itk who told me over a month ago exactly what was happening re. Wasps and has, and told me what will happen regards the stadium fingers crossed on that, and then the big one sisu, I’m hopeful of a happy xmas.

He means an uncontrolled Admin with no agreed terms and buyers. CCCs biggest nightmare which is why they have dragged the Bondholders along so long.
At least any bidder won't have to worry about dumping Wasps off now, just buy the arena with a sitting tenant
No sign of SISU doing anything. I wouldn't either at this stage until ground sorted.
The meetings with PRU are WASPs sorting out a deal to either not be relegated or be in Championship. Also to keep the P Shares
A purchaser of ACl may want P shares as part of keeping WASPS at Arena

Cant believe after almost a decade all this shite might be over in a couple of weeks.
Right, so the meeting that never was last week would likely have been in case ACL was also going into admin then cancelled when not. Do we think that delay was requested by the council more in hope than expectation of a buyer? Seems to have been very quiet on rumours outside of NEC.
Probably already been posted.

Council desperately needs the whole thing to not go tits up, but nobody will want to take on ACL with all the debt attached. Which will be why a lot of interested parties are probably holding fire until Friday
Yeah I get all that, it was the talk of a bailout that confused me if they were getting bought out before admin.

I don't read too much into that statement. I think he means ACL will go into administration next week and there is sure to be interest / bids, or something like that. I doubt very much the reporter knows anything not already in the public domain. If he did, it would be covered in much more prominence

Why would they not want things to go tits up, thought they wanted rid of it, there must be something in place where the the pitch and stands have to stay and the ground cannot be converted to a warehouse or anything

Well, we shall see, but my opinion is, although there will be interest I don't expect to see massively high bids, considering the expensive repair / renovation work said to be required, and who is likely to be interested.
I just can't see NEC being interested unless they can get it very cheap.
We want a buyer who wants to own the football club and stadium. Gilbert quotes today that the Mike Ashley's interest has cooled
Depends on what "incentives" they also get. Car Park C still available as a Hotel/ Conference centre?
So this points towards a stepped process of Ashley, or someone else, acquiring ACL then moving forward with buying the club. Fingers crossed for a January transfer budget to kick on and therefore retain O’Hare, Gus, Sheaf & Viktor.
Wasps had applied for hotel permission there soon after getting the stadium but think that lapsed earlier this year
That's a shame if true, but if I were interested in buying something that multiple other parties might be interested in, I would play down my interest.
The option to build went from WASPs to WPS in a blink - a Richardson company
Richardson applied for WMCA funding but withdrew. But it could be part of any negotiation?
Isn't WPS Whitley Pumping Station on London Rd, plans for houses next the Higgs centre off Allard Way, Richardson never interested in the Rugby side of things really was he
Just wanted to add , and have no idea if it's been mentioned , all the stewards have been moved over to ccfc , according to a steward I spoke to at the Sheffield United game
Wasps owners unveil plans for Ricoh hotel
Photos show how it could look inside
Think I'm just going to take no news for what it is right now. Neither good nor bad.
I'm still cautiously optimistic we'll end up in a better position, even if its just slightly.
