Wasps going into admin & the impact on CCFC (42 Viewers)

[Samo]

Nope. Not sure if same interview that he said this in:
"I had my eyes wide open when I came in.
The debt was substantial, it's only got bigger."
Glowing endorsement of his performance as CEO then

I ventured on to Once A Wasp earlier & there were posts about how well received they have been in Coventry & how the locals thanked them for bringing Pro Rugby to Coventry too...

Their fans literally live in a different world. I suppose it explains how Wasps pulled the wool over their eyes for so long though & why the news is being treated with shock in Rugby circles when it was always a matter of "when not if" to everyone who cared to actually look at the figures.

Sorry Frostie, but their fans do not 'literally' live in different world. (Although to me they may as well be aliens)

Ha ha, I meant as in not in Coventry for the most part.

Utterly baffling responses. To be fair if I was to financially fuck up a club as much as they have I'd want a dream audience as Wasps fans are

Still a slight unease. They may be dead but I can still smell the rotting carcass waiting to rise in zombie form.

You have to remember 99% of the wasps are toff wannabes and live in this sugar coated world where Snow White is real, you marry a virgin and when you die you go to heaven.

I know a couple from work and they had not got a clue about the finance and was adamant that wasps had higher gates than CCFC. Not a fucking clue that free tickets were the reason they had high gates in 2014.

The Range Rover and little Timmy and his sons yachting club academy. The rugby brigade are so intelligent there thick about the real world and only interested in is about rupert, Chelsea and the sherry drinking boys and there golfing trip to Portugal at bartholomews villa I detest the cocooned sugar plum, spoon fed world they live in.

Wasps followers are swinging at the minute blaming anything and everyone for the situation. Which has now ended up with some stating not traveling to Cov is going to be a blessing. This is the last stages of excepting the blame is with the owners who couldn't run a bath and a few council members seeing a something that wasn't there.

Ultimately the failure to understand the city and its people is a big factor is the failed experiment in my opinion. I hope others see this and understand we are a very unique city in many different ways. And i personally think a loyal bunch at heart, the shit we have been through is a testament to that. I wish those effected locally find jobs and hope all those that were originally Wasps fans find a home closer to where they are from. Wasps or its fans will not be missed by me or thought of after all is settled. I guess being a magpie is never an answer in UK sports, your home never leaves you, even if a business does.

 

[zuni]

this is murder, not even any juicy rumours of who is bidding, city being taken over....fucking helllllll AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

 

[zuni]

sorry...the moment just swept me away

 

[SkyblueDad]

Gotta be honest, I was expecting more of an anti-Wasps vibe in the crowd last night than what we actually got.

Most ain’t that bothered only on here really

This shugs ?

 

[duffer]

I'll try posting in the right thread this time!

I'm thinking that this meeting that "interested parties" were going to have with the RFU, either didn't happen or didn't go well.

Either way, another player leaves...

Or was bollox from sv

That beauty needs to be etched onto his grave stone.

Surely Shugs is a front for Wasps PR or a PR company working for them.

He was just smoking out interested parties. I’d imagine the administrator has told him to fuck off, keep your nose out and let me do my job as a legal requirement.

She was also supportive of Dr. Shipman's palliative care approach & would gladly take a covid jab from him.

Have we bought the stadium yet?

Could someone ask the oval ball types if they consider someone picking up a football and running with it now to be just a huge mistake.

I think Shugs‘s eyes have finally been opened, given the issues he is now raising on both forums. Surprised he hasn’t been banned fro Once A Wasp.

"Why didn't the rugby family stop Vaughn from lying to me?"

You can get banned from that even when the administrator (pun intended) doesn't know if you're pro CCFC

 

[Liquid Gold]

Very, very, very slowly getting there. Yes you were given a load of bullshit, you all swallowed it right up without question too.

The thing is tho its not as if they've never been in a financial mess before and didn't know the signs or to be on the lookout for issues and they were constantly having things pointed out to them and kept insisting everything was fine. It was truly astonishing.

 

[Nick]

Anybody pointing it out was jealous or a city fan.
