Wasps downward spiral... (28 Viewers)

[Nick]

Hard to see what this will ultimately mean. Having gone through our own administration and coming out the other side with very little changed I’m sceptical about Wasps pending administration.

Slightly different when so much is owed externally surely?

It’s very different and it seems to be an attempt at sale pre admin

 

[Earlsdon_Skyblue1]

what happened to our old pal dubai dodger?

He was paid by the hour. The funds have dried up. Unlikely to work for free.

I'm half joking, but I wouldn't be surprised if there was some truth as well.

What we thinking? Moonstone coming up with their very own Otium?

Has the other Wasps forum gone down?

It has been liquidated.

Eastwood is knocking on doors

Would still need to pay their bills though wouldn't they?

They seem to owe HMRC, don’t recall us owing HMRC. That’s a big difference.

And bond holders.

We did when SISU bought us, SISU paid the debt.

We didn't have a £35m debt secured against our primary asset either. They're all out of wriggle room, that's why they've gone for Administration.

No one worse to be in debt to, maybe the mafia!

They haven’t gone for administration

Yet. They have started the process to stop being wound up by HMRC

Wasps statement: Club's 138-word response to administration reports

Wasps have issued a 138-word statement following reports that the Premiership club had filed a High Court notice to appoint an administrator.

It matters not. They are not in administration and I think have 14 plus 14

But after that time, If nothing is sorted they are done for.

I doubt going down this route breeds confidence to any lender.

What about a buyer?

I just cant see anyone wanting to buy them. If someone new is interested they dont have much time to do due diligence.

If they have someone lined up. Are they going to want to pay of all the debt or let them go under and buy cheaper

They won’t have an option to buy if going under will they

Seem to remember various football clubs going down this route as a preventative measure.

 

[Nick]

What about a buyer?

Using the funds from hyam I heard.

 

[HuckerbyDublinWhelan]

Is there potentially legs to the rumour someone is looking to buy both clubs?

 

[jordan210]

Guess not. So who's going to want to pay the debt to HMRC + others to buy them

Might be on his way to delicer that pair of shorts I've been waiting a month for

Unless you are an economically illiterate person you would never invest in a Premiership rugby club. Everyone one of the clubs … bar Exeter …. Lose money every year and Wasps business plan is a total basket case.
Ultimately it’s us the tax payers of UK who lose out with these situations

But I'm a UK tax payer and I feel like I'm winning real good right now.

Sisu did

Better nits than crabs, I'd say.

Nah, Flight radar, G-OMA, though think his pilot lives locally so could just be taking the company car home as it were!
