Following my comment earlier and having time to chill, I want put it out there that I would love for people to fight for this club even if that means we are in the championship. I don't know how tough it must be for everyone this evening going home without a job. But I hope if they want to fight for this club that they get a chance.

I just wish I could do something to show how much they mean/ do something to help.

Unsure if this has been posted elsewhere: https://youtu.be/G_HfwlZWtGo

Vaughan expects news this week if any takeover will go through.

I admire Vaughan for this. No shit or bollocks. Straight from the hip. All is not lost YET. Let's hope that someone shines brightly on us by the end of this week.

Same, once I've cleared a loan (don't fancy trying to refinance it at the moment!)

Just wish I could do the same with HMRC and not go to prison...

Seems pretty honest. Fingers crossed for the championship next year and a buyer.

I don't think using greed is fair.

Its likely that the stadium is worth a lot more than the sum of the parts as a stand alone entity than with the Wasps team attached. I wouldn't be surprised if he couldn't get an offer for the stadium with the club attached.

Alternatively, someone buys the stadium and teams and then just shuts the teams down because they don't want the running costs and they would be less likely to give someone the breathing space to recreate the team.

This isn't Derek being greedy. Exactly the opposite.

If we believe media reports he's somewhere in the region of £20M out of pocket currently. I know for a fact that he paid the last interest payment on the bond himself.
