Bridge has tweeted out about the London side starting to play again, I bet he wished he hadn’t bothered as our fans keep asking about the nda not being dropped and one said all he wants to do is positive spin and where he has been eating

It's true though, he is effectively Wasps Comms guy
This was an interesting example, he was manipulating quotes so they didn't sound bad.
Taking freebies from Wasps at the same time doesn't look good.

That in part, but also to protect their friends at the Council, who as we have seen are in a position to grant extravagant favours from the public purse, smooth awkward planning issues, and continue to push CCFC into a corner.
It’s almost beyond a joke now, this is the era of ‘get elected and then do whatever you want’. At least in the old days bent politicians used to try to hide what they were doing out of courtesy.

Obviously sad for families involved.....
Are redundancies widespread within Wasps....any ideas??..... £5 million though...!!??!!!

I know a chap who worked in marketing/pr for Wasps and was made redundant late last year... he is now in pretty much the same job, but employers are "the Ricoh" apparently...
Forgive me i may not be 100% accurate on the facts, but that is my understanding and that is the basics of it...
I must add i'm not trying to push any point at all, just a personal anecdote...

Much as I hate Wasps sad to see yet more redundancies there. Seems to be a round of ‘restructuring’ every few months.
Recognise the name, got a feeling she’s is, or rather was, their marketing manager. Surely one of the last positions you’d make redundant.
Would be interesting to dig into the number of employees under council / Higgs ownership compared to now and how that holds up against the promised extra jobs Wasps arrival was supposed to bring.

They will probably get rid of a load then employ a few and Bridge will write massive investment in new staff for flourishing business.

Like he did when he wrote about the good things wasps did during lockdown?
He has no shame.

Wouldn't read too much into that...Arsenal made 55 redundancies today. Sign of the times (Covid) as opposed to a reflection of their finances.

Its odd to get rid of your marketing manager mid you. Wonder if they are going to out source it.

Have there been any law changes around redundancy since furlough? Seems a lot of companies making people “redundant” when it looks more like they'll rehire after covid. I thought that was illegal?
I could see marketing being less needed if you aren't allowed to sell tickets TBF. Companies shouldn't be allowed to just kick people to the kerb then rehire once it's all over.

A lot of companies are acting like the rules suddenly don’t apply due to coronavirus. It’s blatant these positions will be required when lockdown ends.
You can be certain the hope is they don’t find another job, which let’s face It is a reasonable assumption at the moment, and will then come back when asked. Wouldn’t be a surprise if pay and conditions are worse when the ‘new’ position is offered to them.

Why would you need a marketing manager when you haven’t got anything to market? Does anybody think that people are going to be looking to book the Ricoh for conferences, exhibitions concerts etc anytime soon? Better off hiring some people to post leaflets.

Lovely bir of pr about wasps redundancies
On top of the other recently published article about Wasps fans pining for our return and the clever bit bit of anti Sisu spin, brought a tear to my eye. Interesting that the redundancy article mentions a loss of £5.1m in revenue which more or less what Wasps are recieving to carry out the "refurb"

Yeah but if they lay 20 people off, they can go to town when they hire 10 more people for their new cafe

Yeah but they won't say that in the telegraph will they
It will be "Massive jobs boost for Ricoh Arena"
It will be 5 x 18 year olds on zero hour contracts to serve hot dogs.

That will only cover the amount Bridge will stuff in his face though

I ordered a hot dog......this is what happened
I went to the person and said can I have a hot dog and they gave me a hot dog and I put sauce on and it was really nice. I really suggest Wasps do the best hot dogs in the world ever. I will give this 10/10 and I will have one every time I go here because it is free.
What did we get?
We got a hot dog in some tin foil wrapping. It was like no hot dog I have ever seen because it is a Wasps hot dog. The usual price is £7 which is cheaper and better than any Coventry City hot dog ever ever ever ever.
What do Wasps fans say?
I am a PE teacher and I get given tens of free tickets every game but nobody wants them so I end up coming on my own. I do love to eat a hot dog so when I get here I have a hot dog. Sometimes I get brave and put mustard on just to show the chaps down the Rugby Club I am a real man. I really love Wasps, they have given me everything I have ever dreamed of since they have moved. I have been given a hat, a flag and free tickets.

"SISU should stop trying to sew Wasps and we will let them play here if we can have all of the money generated by them and lots of rent money"
"Wasps have dun amazing for Coventry, they giv us free tickets every week and my kids love the free flag. SISU should stop making up bad things about Wasps like they fiddle accounts as it just IZNT TRUE!!!!"
