It’s pretty important what the money is for and payment terms as surely they can’t be expecting a gift.
Wasps downward spiral... (2 Viewers)
- Thread starter CCFC54321
- Start date
Watching that my take was the atmosphere wasn’t great in the chambers looking at the facial expressions and body language as the elephant in the room was brought up.
Duggins I thought felt uncomfortable about it and I felt he was obligated to discuss this but with a “Oh for fucks sake I’m tired of this/what are you doing to me London wasps!” expression.
I can’t see them getting the £13m personally as this is a step to far.

Interesting. I was looking at the body language and thinking it was more like 'just shut up and let me give them the 13 million quietly'.
Then again he, and they, have previous. Could be leaning my view a bit.

A sensible option would be for you return when you’ve had your bed bath and stopped focussing on the cleaner before engaging in sporting dialog.You of all people know it hasn't as I've been reading all the gloats and speculationand the more sensible insightful stuff from OSB. Im happy to wait until we really know whats going on ! Although if there is something meaningful to discuss I'll discuss it ..... but right now there isn't.

£13m would help is bring in some extra quality players and give us a even better chance of a return to the PL.
What would that do for the City economically ! Loads more than giving giving it to Wasps!

Is it just me that looks at that video and thinks it’s no wonder the country is turning to shit when you have people like that making the decisions?

Seems like Simon Gilbert has shot his bolt ….. Just enough to get you guys all excited and speculating again as well as put Nicks clicks through the roof and then it’s all gone quiet 
…. I guess you are all waiting for the bond deadline on the 30th ….. will definitely be interesting to see what happens next week.

I got bored with the complete nonsense on there
I’ve said I think you’ll get the funding but as Kent Wasp on the forum says is that the business is unsustainable and it will be just a delay of an inevitable closure of the non rugby side of the business

Why? Nothing has changed has it unless I've missed something. Wasps are still trying to get public money and haven't said under what pretence, there's still no information on how they are going to fund the bond repayment or when it will happen.Seems like Simon Gilbert has shot his bolt …..

He's reported it and moved onto the next item, Brum Airport chief with a big wage hike. That's what journos do, they report whats going on. He won't keep shaking that bone as being selective gets you a rep of, at best, non impartiality. I expect once it becomes news (ie CCC sign over a cheque or Wasps go tits up) Simon and the local media will report the facts. Well, you would expect them to.Seems like Simon Gilbert has shot his bolt …..

Hi Dubai, welcome back.
Whilst you're here, I was wondering if you would answer some queries or comments made from wasps fans about the move to Coventry.

I think we were talking about this long before Simon raised his head, and you were sent by the pests on a fishing expedition.
The Wasps forum is exceedingly poor, aside from the likes of your good self, why would anyone post on there.
I have a pseudonym on there, Wasps fans seem to like me, I raise valid criticisms about your club and the move, but because I haven't linked myself to CCFC your lot don't seem to froth and act objectively. Its amazing that if you think I'm not a CCFC fan you can take the criticism of what a complete basket case your club really is.

I think in fairness anyone who posts constructively is fine whether from CCFC or not, there are a few posters that support CCFC. Yes it’s an old school forum and many have moved on for various reasons so traffic is very low and of course before anyone says it rugby is not popular !

Are they ? I genuinely don’t know if they are still trying any more than you do.
Yes next week will be very interesting!

what do you want me to answer ? It’s not a question. It’s a comment written by one long standing Wasps supporter (who I happen to know ) That is his view that he’s posted publicly.

Have another comment from a wasp fan then, there are plenty to go around.

Yeah lots of comments from Wasps supporters opposed to the move ….. there were lots opposed to the move ….. many didn’t follow the club to Cov. ….. not really anything earth shattering about these comments….. do you think you are posting something new that nobody has seen before ?

Have you got anything to suggest Wasps are no longer seeking public money as I haven't seen that reported anywhere. In fact the only mention I've seen in the last few days is the possibility of funding from Coventry Council.

Here is another comment which isn't that really earth-shattering, but showing the feeling from a wasps supporter.
Enjoy...

like I said I don’t know what the situation is either way. As we all know Simon Gilbert has reported some kind of application has been made for £13m …… I don’t know if that is still current or what it’s for … we can obviously all speculate as many have. But very little is really known just yet.

We do know how wasps fans felt like over the move. What about the children, Dubai. Was there any thought for the local kids in the move?
Dubai-Dodger
Member
Again, yes very strong feelings but nothing new I’m afraid.
I’m not really sure what your point is because nobody has ever denied many were unhappy and opposed to the club moving !
Grendel

The council have admitted the application so Gilbert is irrelevant

No point, just wonder if you had any empathy for your fellow wasp fans.

no idea if they thought about kids, why are you asking me ? …… out of interest where are you digging these up from ? At least reference them……

Yes lots ! …… many friends who don’t go to Coventry …..

6 days until the deadline after the deadline.
Will the bondholders allow them to delay again, will CCC lend them the money, will they sell assets or are they fucked?

OK fair enough….. substitute Simon Gilbert for ‘council’ in my post …… Same applies, still don’t know what’s it’s for or whether it continues although it’s probably reasonable to assume it is but who knows !
