True.  I'd be a bit surprised if they hadn't really.

News story just released by sky https://news.sky.com/story/former-wasps-chief-spearheads-bid-for-stricken-premiership-rugby-club-12716501 stating David Armstrong is leading a bid. However it looks like it will only go ahead once we have gone into administration and they are already petitioning the RFU to try and stop relegation in that scenario

We’ve discussed the option of a pre-pack before and with any deal going to the wire it looks more likely.

Lol says a few options on the table, one is selling the stadium.

Well, that won't happen, so down the pan it will go.

Let's face it no one is buying the rugby club  they want the real estate. Let it all go into administration and buy debt free. No brained.

No future whatsover.

We fuck up on the pitch and are fucked off of it.

I hope we survive, but we cannot have our cake and eat it. We may have a huge history but we are no bigger than Worcester or any other club, and if we enter administration I would expect that we are treated as Worcester were.

I agree


My only hope is that the authorities decide that things are easier with a 12 team league and give us a chance.


But even then, I'd expect a 35 point deduction which would see us relegated at the end of the season ... At least we'd get to play all this year which has got to be beneficial

Can more than one club be relegated from the Prem? Either that expands the Championship or they end up relegating more, which I can’t see happening.

If relegated, that may scupper any rescue deal.

Sorry I think we are toast. Much as I might like it we cannot be treated differently from Worcester.
