Not if THE preferred bidder is THEIR preferred bidder.
Not doubting their intelligence or skills, but right now everyone seems to be looking at things as a CCFC fan desperate for change. No doubt if ACL sale goes through SISU have backed themselves in to a hole and their negotiation cards are fewer

What as bond holders 🫤Should any takeover happen, can we as fans try to acquire a percentage?
I went to the game last night not really up for it, what with everything going on off the pitch. Was highly entertained and came away on a high, then hear ACL gone into admin. Now reading today I'm back despondent, not knowing what's really going to happen to our club. Too many what if scenarios out there at the moment. I just want someone to come out and say this is the deal, it's all been signed sealed and delivered, now move on, is that too much to ask for
Yes I do. Thought at the time it was hinting we know Wasps et al are in the shit but we won't be able to afford it...however, we're open for business to anyone that can.I think SISU are a lot cuter than everyone is giving them credit for.
Remember the Times article?
From personal experience London spiv types often think they are smarter than they are, then are shocked when someone from “up North” takes them to school and to nursery again for good measure.They always seem to make catastrophic misjudgements. Assumed they were the only game in town. Treated local politicians and the charity as if they were just another helpless business to be distressed. Didn’t realise that if the Arena became available debt-free there would be bigger fish in the pond than them. And now they probably imagine the ‘new stadium’ gag will work on a different audience.

SISU have yet again got themselves into a mess thinking that no one else was smart or capable enough.
As I said, they had cards to play but it looks like they didn’t have anything up their sleeve.
Who are you on about Dawkins, Overson or both ?Based on what?
I'm local and have played Football Manager too.
So long as he doesn't do this to RobinsIf MA did buy the club do you think his “cockney boyfriend” would join the board in some capacity? I think many of us still have found memories of Dennis Wise’s brief career with us so could do worse.

I think the problem is that they have no chance of standing up to Ashley.As things stand I'm relatively calm about it all. Why buy a stadium unless you want someone to play there?Wasps expirience has proved we’re the only show in town.
Could SISU play silly beggars of course but Ashley will know they have form and SISU will also know his reputation.
A deal is there to be done and will be sooner or later.

He’d be Wise to stay.Looking up Dennis Wise to see what he's up to, really wasn't expecting 'president of Serie B team'
If I was him I'd stay put, as nice as the Arena retail park is

SISU via their backers and connections think that could try to out-stare ACL, the Council (who are seen as a soft target since they aren’t a commercial entity) etc but U.K. based billionaire Ashley?
No chance and they know it. In a bidding war SISU would have lost or had to seriously overpay, a few million to Ashley isn’t big coffee.
Questions…..
We don’t definitely KNOW it’s Mike Ashley do we? Although a reasonable assumption from all the noise.
Could the preferred bidder be SISU? It’s their only chance.
I wish I knew…
I can understand why some might feel despondent. Only a week or so ago everyone was saying that's seen the back of Wasps here and good riddance to them and now we hear there is a possibility that they may still stay here.I went to the game last night not really up for it, what with everything going on off the pitch. Was highly entertained and came away on a high, then hear ACL gone into admin. Now reading today I'm back despondent, not knowing what's really going to happen to our club.

Wonder if he's had as many Magic Moments with them as he did with us?Looking up Dennis Wise to see what he's up to, really wasn't expecting 'president of Serie B team'

I hate the fucking wasps as much as anyone. I guess we (and they) would have to try and change the way we think about things if we were to have the same owner.I just can’t see how he would be interested in the Arena if he wasn’t interested in CCFC too. What concerns me is that he might be interested in Wasps too which means we haven’t seen the back of them. If what people are saying is true about Wasps having to play at least 2 years in where they last played this would mean MA is the only viable option for Wasps survival. On that basis you would think he could pick them up for peanuts so why wouldn’t he, it’s a fresh audience for the Sports Direct brand, it expands his interests in sport and so what if they can only sell 4000 tickets, just open only one stand like we have for the Johnson’s paint trophy games. Got a bad feeling we haven’t seen the last of Wasps.
Spot on. We have absolutely no control of any of the sale/takeover process for the stadium or the club and it's very dangerous to allow that to serious affect your mood. All we can do is wait and in the meantime, enjoy supporting a team that absolutely hit form last night (certainly first half) for arguably the first time this season. Big 3 games coming up now, we're on the up and need to keep the momentum going.For now accept that it won’t happen tomorrow, might well before Christmas, and get behind the team for 3 big games before the WC.

i don’t know that wasps/rugby in general would be that much of a money spinner for anyone though? It doesn’t seem to be.
This thread is moving way too quick for me, so only picking up snippets.
Do we definitely know there’s been no contact between MA and Susu (as definite as we can be about any of this). Sisu’s silence is deafening.
The talk of sisu selling has been happening for some time. Way before the collapse of wasps.
