Perhaps the 5 year deal, if true, is ready to go the moment the legal action stops. If the appeal fails a few days before the deadline, no negotiations are needed because they'd already have been done, and it's just a case of announcing it. Doesn't mean any stances have changed, just that a caveated deal is ready to go.

Stances would have changed because they said they wouldn't even discuss it until the legals were dropped.

Or that London Wasps actually need us at the staidum, I bet they’re gutted we’ve had a relatively successful couple of seasons.

Like some of our so called fans who don't want any success while we are owned by SISU

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Wasps owe SISU a favour for getting them the ground in the first place. Would like to see CWR ask Eastwood why he's backtracked on saying that the legal action was perfectly legitimate in 2014...

If it's anything like the past couple of interviews I doubt anybody needs to worry about any pressure

And more radio interviews

Hopefully, unlike PWKH, they will be challenged on their answers and lack of consistency.

 

[skybluesam66]

sounded like the interview tomorrow is pre - recorded
Eakin mentioned, it is giving reasons why Wasps are not going to change their stance

 

[clint van damme]

Im sick of all these meetings they keep having

So you'd like 'a little less conversation'?!

 

[Captain Dart]

Lol. Get Bob Mills in, his opening statement to Fisher was we can't discuss commercially sensitive matters. Result - no fucking point in interview except to get some listeners to hear a few more adverts while they waited for it.

Not sure about that Trish Adudu is Paxman in disguise

Sisu lover

Take me down to the Sepalla city where the court is green and the lawsuits pretty

Wasps aren’t in that strong of a position. On the field, results are getting worse and key players are wanting to leave, things could get worse next season. Off the field, they’re in debt, their losses are increasing and if attendances decrease because the team is doing badly — things could easily take a turn for the worst there. I’m no expert on Wasps or indeed finances as a whole, so my knowledge is pretty limited here.

I’m not so sure Wasps can actually afford to run CCFC out of town.

For anyone interested, this may be a worthwhile read:

What's really going on at Wasps - Rugby Insider

Very interesting read.

Ferret is a d3cent poster and while I don't know if what he's put up is true I trustcits definitely what he's heard and been posted in good to faith.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Very interesting read.

Quite a substantial bond payment is due from them in 2020-the incoming money from the Premiership won't touch the edges.

Drop court action sign deal then resume court action would be my plan lol

i think Sisu are holding out for this too maybe hoping wasps end up selling it them cheap once they can’t pay these bonds back

Wasps sound more and more like the sort of debt laden company SISU is in the business of acquiring and 'turning round'.

Ps I thought the Wasps bond repayment due date is 2022?

Maybe, I think I've forgotten what it was like to just be concerned about keepers making insane runs out of the box or strikers missing from point blank every week. In an alternative reality Cov are fighting Liverpool for the title and we bought the Ricoh from Wasps in 2021. Then I had to turn FM off and go outside

Big Derek did just that in 2012. His companies are in Malta and he never says a word in public. Wonder if he's got a blind date with Joy behind closed doors.

Sorry you're right, it is 2022. Don't know why I thought 2020

Tin foil hats on, this is not a drill!

Think so many Wasps players left after he kept bragging about 'smashing Joy in court'

 

[Nick]

Interesting that they at least agree to meet a couple of days after the accounts are filed.

Wonder if they were counting on them not being able to?

 

[sw88]

More chance of this guy off the Wright stuff sorting our problems than an MP!



Much prefer his assistant though: surely she can encourage Tim to do the right thing?

Would expect nothing more from TalkSport. They're not bothered with anything outside the Prem and aren't going to know the ins and outs of our situation. CWR on the other hand should be able to challenge on the relevant points but seem happy to give an easy ride.

I liked it where it said the clock is ticking.

Basically a longer term investment scheme. Wasps raised £35 million through letting people buy 'bonds' for a minimum of £2k. You get 6.5% of the money invested back per year and the full amount is to be repaid in 2022. The bonds are secured against both Wasps and ACL.

Too afraid of not getting another interview.

Trish Adudu, trivial shit is more her home ground. My evidence.

Trish Adudu meets Barnaby Hughes, the love interest from Cougar The Musical. ... Eurovision royalty Cheryl, Mike and Jay, formerly of Bucks Fizz, and Bobby McVay. Trish meets Dom Breadmore from Ludic Rooms to hear about Coventry's new challenge Wear your Wheels.

The thing is, Fisher is unable to see any sort of solution as he’s got blood coming out of his eyes.

Wasps really aren’t in as strong a position as your average joe thinks. They are a one bad season away from a catastrophe. Their England internationals are leaving them, alongside a few other senior players. All of a sudden, the bumper crowds for big European rugby will wither away if they don’t qualify for the Champions Cup. Struggle in the league too and the novelty of a Premiership rugby team quickly wears off. Comparing attendances with football, Wasps are about 6th in Europe at about 17,000... A 32,000 seater is too big for them and CCFC too bar the odd bumper crowd.

Difference being that top flight football would get us a lot closer to filling out than they are even with European rugby and a stacked deck. Domestic rugby never has been that popular and there isn't much sign of the trend changing.

Of course. That’s why I think the wheels could come off the Wasps’ project very quickly, indeed. Relegation from the Prem would be a catastrophe and that league has a tendency to swallow the odd big team, like London Irish and Northampton Saints.

Having thought about it, it could be a possibility that Wasps may have to sell a share in the Ricoh if it debts keep rising as it is set to surpass their value of the Ricoh. Again, in that context, Wasps can’t really afford to kick CCFC out either so I suppose this whole debacle is just public shows of force and the rational outcome ought to be an arrangement is made.

I really can’t wait until the London parasites leave us alone

Only 250 years to wait!

Agree with this. You could tell they were completely disinterested during the TF interview. JW rushed through his questions as if they’d squeezed us in for a 10 minute window. They will rarely discuss the politics surrounding football ownership whilst on air because they know 95% of their listeners aren’t interested. E.g. They were discussing Bolton closing their training ground yesterday and simply said it’s because Ken Anderson doesn’t have any money and the takeover has fallen through. No further detail was offered whatsoever. The same goes with Blackpool a few weeks ago. No specifics were spoken about whatsoever because they have no interest in speaking about League One clubs, probably out of fear that their listeners will lose interest.

The majority on Talk Sport are poor excuses for journalists and the ex-footballers who present in the mornings are employed for their banter, not their broad knowledge of the game.
