Did he have prior links to Wasps or the sport of Rugby? Maybe he's just good at PR, something else are lot could learn a thing or two about.
Primary shareholder of our hedgefund (mgi - Derek Richardson) attends our games and from reports is very enthusiastic, and his wife and daughter watch the development league games (which is above and beyond call of duty). Now I'm sure they're still well and truly in it for the money, but there is a love for the sport and the team as well.
That's the bit that plenty of people overlook. Clearly their hedgefund is better at getting stuff done than our one....but they are still just that - a hedgefund.
Their overriding motive is no different to SISU's at the end of the day.
Confuses the hell out of me I thought they just owned 23% and it use to annoy me that SISU didn't just factor in purchasing the 23% as part of any purchase.
I have heard indirectly from someone from Compass that the Ricoh deal is very insignificant for them.
Personally I think the only thing that they can do is sit down with our new landlords and thrash out a rent deal for a minimum of 10 years that will work for the club in any league.
Wasps need us here to make ACL work. They only play 16 odd home games a season so the club is in a stronger bargaining position than it ever has been IMO but they need to be talking about a longer deal than 2 years plus 2 years with maybe the extra year Fisher has been mumbling on about.
i am thinking someone like Red Bull, but I don't think it will be them as I think they are trying to get into some other sport currently, I can't quite remember what, but a Red Bull arena hosting the Red Bull Wasps, and us, and hosting music and all the other stuff they could do would truly full fill the potential of the Ricoh,especially with e new train station opening
They are looking at English football clubs apparently as Leeds were heavily rumoured a couple of weeks ago. They did deny wanting to buy Leeds but not that they were interested in getting a team over here. They've bought Leipzig in Germany so they're not afraid of building from a lower division. All their other teams have had a complete rebrand though, which is almost as bad as franchising a club out of its original area in my book.
Re branding the club that invented re branding. Interesting.

have they bought Rasenballsport Leipzig, or locomotive, as I follow German footie a bit, the team I follow is dynamo Dresdon who have fallen to the third tier, just my luck again as you know they used to be one of the bigger teams there.
i can see a firm like Red Bull getting very interested in having a stadium hosting two teams a rugby and football combo.
would the RFU allow name changes to something like Red Bull wasps ?
i can see this happening with either Red Bull or another corporate giant
