Let’s say they file for insolvency or whatever and they have to sell off assets. Don’t shoot me if I’m wrong in my assumptions here but what if their 250 year lease of the ground was for sale? And we say bid £20m for that or arguement sake and the debt collector accepted the bid, would that then mean they’d be the one who is a club without a home? And we could then be their landlords? Or they could alternatively find elsewhere to play?
Sounds so simple I know or would the council be more heavily involved?

Wasps look insolvent if you take into account the liabilities that are now being reported:
1. Outstanding payments to HMRC
2. Interest payments for May - August for bond holders
3. Repayment of £35m bond
4. Loan from HM Government for Covid-19
The assets against liabilities looks in deficit if the report from the Daily Telegraph is correct:
"The most recent set of accounts for Wasps Holdings, covering the year ending June 2021, showed it recorded a loss of £18.5 million over a two-year period and had net current liabilities of £54.7 million.
The bondholder debt was initially secured against the value of the stadium, which the accounts valued at £52.4 million".
West Midlands Authority surely cannot lend Wasps any money. It would be sheer stupid waste of public funds.
