Suddenly I feel less hopeful of a good outcome for Wasps' survival, but hope it's just a passing mood. Is Ashley actually going to take over d'you think? If so, I hope it actually won't happen.
I think that he will take over the Arena, yes. I think he will leave everything in tickover mode for this and next season, while he negotiates use of land around the arena and in Ansty.
In the background, he might talk with SISU about buying CCFC, but he will not pay a silly price, so that is far from a done deal. He might then turn his attention to Wasps in the 2024/25 season.
He has stepped back from managing the stores part of his empire, so he may be looking for a project, and it is said that he likes the idea of owning a casino.
