Could have been different

Read the print version of Own Slot's article today.

Taking it at face value, I must admit that I am with Derek on this one. There would appear to be very little substance in what was being proposed.

It seems that someone is trying to make a mountain from a wormcast.

Looks to me like someone is trying to make sure the accepted narrative points the blame at Derek.

I guess we just need to look to see who of the old board is on the new board if the rescue actually happens.

Cunning plan

Whilst I think we all need to know the full facts before we make any judgements, I have had the same comment of "this didn't have to happen" from two separate parties over the last few weeks.

One is a highly respected "Legend" and one a senior member of Wasps Staff pre Administration for a number of years.

I was also told that a deal was "on the table" back in May/June, but don't know the full details so that may not have been "acceptable" at the time?

Something doesn't add up to me about all this and as Fans/Season Ticket Holders/Sponsors etc, I think we do deserve a proper explanation sooner rather than later?

But you look at the size of the debt Colonel and the trading results and surely it was a when rather than if? Do your contacts have any view on what will happen next.

Nothing since we last spoke in mid week other than that there were more meetings and negotiations happening last week.

I think the "Legends Consortium" are having to negotiate some "unnecessary" obstacles along the way potentially.

I was also told then that the Times was "all over the story" so may be more to come?

In terms of how accurate it is, I'm only putting 2 and 2 together, but a certain former Wasps Captain (and potentially our greatest ever player) also happens to write for the same paper and was also a Director of the company so maybe that does add some credence to the story and source possibly?

......on the other hand some journalists have been known to make 2 + 2 equal something other than 4?

No guesses needed as to who is behind those !!!!

What I have been told was nothing to do with SISU or CCFC just in case anyone was thinking that by the way.

Wasn’t thinking them. My money is on the issues being connected to the RFU. Let’s hope they can overcome them.

Put a small amount on the EAs and their acolytes.

Good point. They’ve raked over our squad - what more do they want.

If we carry on they have stolen our best players, if we go under they have rescued them.

Indeed so.Their is something so fundamentally wrong with the clubs having a say on other clubs fate when they stand to pick up their players afterwards.
