They can't afford to run the Rugby Club.Regardless of anyones view of the rights or wrongs of the above, ……..is any of that in breach of the salary cap regs ? If it is then I’m all for punishing Wasps in the same way as Saracens. But at least compare apples with apples.
Deep down? You think?I wonder what cov rugby fans and ownership thinks of this ? I reckon deep down they'd love wasps to fuck off
Right now we don’t know what the £13m is for or indeed the structure / terms of any funding, if indeed it’s granted. However that doesn’t make it any less concerning for me as it doesn’t paint a good picture. Time will tell.
I guess other clubs will make their mind up once the full picture is clear.
As for comparisons with Saracens, they were caught paying players more than they should, to give them a competitive edge over other clubs to win trophies, if Wasps are found to be doing the same then of course throw the book. But at the moment I’m not sure how you can link £13m funding for something we don’t know the full picture of to the players salaries, that said I’m sure as eggs are eggs others here will disagree with me.
Yep!... more succinct way of saying what I said just above!You could argue they are living outside their means whilst their competitors live within them. Almost as if they are cheating…….
He didn't say salary cap regs, he said charge sheet.
As always. Denial and distraction.

Haha no , never expected him to end up doing what he doesDid you bully him?
Did he sniff the seats?Haha no , never expected him to end up doing what he does
Did he sniff the seats?
Need the inside
I didn’t say the offence is the same as Saracens.
If you are taking state aid to pay for something your business should be paying as normal businesses do, then it won’t be looked at favourably, especially when you seem to have cash reserves to have a competitive squad.
You could argue they are living outside their means whilst their competitors live within them. Almost as if they are cheating…….
Right now we don’t know what the £13m is for (or certainly I don’t). You throw the definition of ‘state aid‘ around to sensationalise it but have the rugby club received state aid or is that just your interpretation ?
Yes you could argue they are living beyond their means but you could say that about any outfit that has received funding for something unrelated to the playing side.
It’s interesting how many have now jumped on the cheating topic because of a reported £13m funding application but not before (if I’ve missed it before then I apologise)
You consider it ‘almost’ cheating…. the rights and wrongs of how the stadium business is run is unrelated to the players …. I accept I will be in the minority here with that view ….. so be it
It is important to know where the £13m is being used. If it is a top up to HSBC to pay Bondholders how do they intend to repay?
completely agree …… if it’s anything to do with the bond in my view it smacks of desperation …… but it could equally be totally unrelated, repayment regardless is concerning but we just don’t know enough
many on here have convinced themselves Wasps are being gifted £13m …. But they haven’t.
Can those that know how set up a quick poll asking Cov fans if they want a wasps to fail? My own mini poll among the 3 of us who go each week is 100% doThis lad is great value:

So, ignoring the 7.5m as we don’t know what that is how does that add up to £15m. I get that a very small minority of CCFC fans want Wasps to fail. But made up figures, blasé assumptions and rumour won’t do it.
"Neils" on Drunken Wasps has called Mr Gilbert "scrubby" and complained to the BBC about "inaccuracies" in his article!!!!

What a wanker he is. The council has basically confirmed it to be true ffsFrom above;
"All that has surfaced so far is a scrubby little article by an extremely biased junior BBC hack. I await an answer to my complaint about his inaccuracies from the DG who probably doesn't even know he exists."
No mate, we’ve all known for years that the council and Wasps have had a completely dodgy relationship and conspired together to shaft CCFC and Cov Rugby.Right now we don’t know what the £13m is for (or certainly I don’t). You throw the definition of ‘state aid‘ around to sensationalise it but have the rugby club received state aid or is that just your interpretation ?

Collusion with CCC as detailed in this thread.
Broken promises about not working to the detriment of the cities existing sports teams.
Broken promises on regeneration of the North side of the city.
Colluding with a syndicate trying to take over CCFC, which many supporters feel would have been even more disastrous for the club.
Raising finances via a bond which they clearly are struggling to pay.
Hostile take over of a local village sports and community facility.
That's off the top of my head, I'm sure there's more.
Of course, some ofthe above was facilitated by our owners and their actions.
But if you thing saracens bunging their players a few quid more then fair enough.
The point is.... as much as all of the above are (at best) broken promises, and at worst a complete misdirection of Coventry taxpayers money and possible fraud????
....none of them are really within the remit of the RFU or whoever it is to punish Wasps for. As far is i'm aware Saracens were caught breaking the RFU regulations (don't quote me on that!)...... i'm not sure where the RFU can go about stepping in on any of the above....
Of course it would be great if they did/could.
Wrong account?
What's the point? All you do is try and deflect or move the goalposts. Failing that, just claim it's made up.Even if we all disagree Nick ….. say something constructive like your friends.
I’m told they will be making a statement in line with their earlier statement at the end of the monthIf its rumoured HSBC are bailing the shit bags out why didn’t they get the additional £13m from HSBC as well?
