Hey, I'm with you, I'll happily live in hope but have no expectation (I don't want Wasps to buy us TBH).
And this is exactly why it's dangerous to campaign for one thing over another. For me (me) my own morals and principles
would see me give up entirely if we get too closely into bed with a franchise. Maybe (maybe) that is the only option... but the danger of how the club is, is it's likely to attract those who play fast and loose with risk. The city (and club) has enough size, heritage and tradition to make it of appeal to others however - it would be wise to remember that.
Wasps isn't the only option, of course, but it's the manipulation of popular opinion that would help to make it so. If nothing else, a discourse of 'we HAVE to do a deal with Wasps' puts them on the front foot in negotiations and guarantees our death by eleventy billion cuts takes another few thousand, as any deal would not be to our advantage.
Now probably isn't the time for someone to show, btw, as it needs SISU to be more prepared to go. That's not the same as saying there's nobody but SISU though, that's absolute garbage too.
Another fine example of other options, btw, is Plymouth. The administrator (ACL's preferred one) positioned one consortium as only option - they weren't. Now it's still early days, but their current owner appears to at least have the interests of the club at heart... which is certainly more than the administrator preferred option.
Now if they'd just rolled over and shrugged their shoulders...
