Yeah can't argue with that. It is entirely possible to find both sets of owners morally (and, seemingly, financially!) bankrupt!

Oh they are back on the shortchange a kids charity bit again, I wonder how much London Wasps have raised through giving back part of the ticket money in an empty stand.

Anyone else getting a massive sense of deja vu here?
Yep, it's really weird.
Wasps are in the shit, the get out PR is "it woz SISU".
The only thing is, many more people see straight through it now.

Is Chris West still working for CCC, and who is James Alexander?

The last link got pretty ugly then again this isn’t a lot better
He’s this guy from Australia
Phase 2: Operation SISU Out
Whilst it's great to be home, the question remains: do SISU/OTIUM have the appetite to invest what is required to benefit the long term future of the club? I remain unconvinced. SISU will hang around like a bad smell until someone returns them their losses. The return to the Ricoh...

Hopefully that's good news for us if these two have started spouting out

So now it's sisu's fault that wasps moved halfway across the country and overleveraged themselves?
These morons will never give it up.

Perhaps they now know Wasps are really in the shit that they are blaming Sisu now. The overdue bond repayment is due next week, I can't see it happening myself

But he doesn't see the double standard of the second team needing a bailout to pay its bills without having to give up its rights to the stadium like the first club did.

If I was sisu I'd publicly be asking for £13m to help with the club recover from covid.
Makes wasps' request seem idiotic and means the WMCA are unlikely to approve both.
Would probably piss them off but it isn't a court case so they couldn't kick us out.
Might make other clubs do the same and show it for the sham it is.

Re: value of the stadium - isn’t this scenario in some perverse way proving SISU right?

I would think in some way yes but you also have to consider that the bond didn’t just pay of the historical debt in ACL, it also paid back debt to Wasps owner and was used to pay the interest on the debt on the bonds it in itself created as interest.

Glad there’s no borrowing against the arena. Ccc did well to avoid that

And the remaining 37p went towards making them the richest, most successful, and best-supported club in the world, obviously.

Chris West shouldn't be at least. Take a look at the payout he got when 'leaving'.
Coventry council top earners still get over £2m – and one got £500k golden handshake
FOURTEEN Coventry City Council unelected executives still receive six-figure remuneration - despite years of cuts, pay freezes and job losses.

Also suggesting that Wasps are moving to the Alexandra Stadium after the Commenwealth Games

These lot fought really hard to keep hold of the centre for public usage, and ultimately got shafted by their own local councillors. (Guessing they fell for the schmoozing from Eastwood etc)Also suggesting that Wasps are moving to the Alexandra Stadium after the Commenwealth Games
Felt really sorry for them to be honest.
But once a Wasps director magically appears on the board of the selling organisation and then starts "engaging" with the local council... we know what will happen!!

Wishful thinking that. What we reckon? They’re busting ACL and selling the lease unecumbered to SISU?Also suggesting that Wasps are moving to the Alexandra Stadium after the Commenwealth Games

They didn’t want sisu to borrow money against the arena so sold it to wasps who wouldn’t do that sort of thing

CCFC Holdings share in ACL was sold to the Higgs Charity as collateral for paying off some debt CCFC H owed to Higgs et al.

yes, correct. RJC is Ron Collins, and Al is his offspring. Huge platefuls of chips, both of them.

Strange, he has been putting Leicester Tigers articles out.

He's still writing about Wasps too, just no mention of any of the financial issues... Strange. Almost like it's being deliberately avoided...

His twitter account has been non stop Leicester Tigers, seems a bit overkill to me
