With the announcement that the butts development will not include CCFC
Then if this on 03rd June wasn't a bluff

With only two years left on the current Ricoh deal and SISU have no intention of dropping legal action, then this is definitely the time to buy some land and start developing.
I imagine Wasps will just want the going rate for renting a stadium like the Ricoh long term. I also imagine it will be a sliding scale rent.
I imagine they will make a fair and reasonable negotiation. I also imagine their business model will work without us in it, but would work better with us in.
However unlike when we negotiated with ACL they will not be bending over backwards trying all sort of offers and incentives to get us back or keep us in.
I think SISU will have exhausted all legal action by the two years.
So for me two years is the pivotal time. I think building a new stadium is a bluff and I think we will have much of a muchness then. A club that is limited to top ten division 3 as it has to self finance.
I think after two years of establishing themselves, Wasps won't be overly concerned if people potray them as kicking the club out. They will say there is a very good rent deal on the table however, the club are walking out, not getting thrown out.
