Update from Matt Kvesic's wife on Twitter:

Quote
.@WorcsWarriors UPDATE: The @RFU have previously given the 12th December as a deadline for both @WaspsRugby and Worcester to complete their takeovers and secure their places in the Rugby Championship next season.
This morning an RFU spokesperson updated the deadline saying: "We were prepared for some flexibility over the 12th December deadline and continue to work collaboratively with the prospective owners as we undertake full due diligence. The Club Financial Viability Group will make a recommendation to the RFU Board and we expect a decision ahead of Christmas.  We will provide an update then."

Which also confirms it is the RFU holding the process up.

Good to have someone with a finger on the pulse.

I would like to have my fingers on both their sclerotic carotid arteries.

Wasn't it the RFU who imposed the deadline in the first place?!

Hi, I have been a Wasps fan for over 25 years and a STH at the Ricoh/CBSA since we moved there. I have been following this forum for a number of years but have never before been inclined to post. But today is different and I have registered (also got that wrong as it should read Rugby!) so that I can join in with the discussion so please treat me kindly!

Today I was invited to the EPIC (photo attached) and I was blown away by what an excellent facility it is with the changing rooms and fitness studio like none other I have seen. Whilst I was there I met a couple of key people and the feeling I got was that there is going to be some good news coming out later this week.

I left with a real buzz!

As I said re Pudsey ....  I hope to God you're right.  And  -  Welcome, Ruby!!  Your   typo could well be a happy error as 'ruby' sounds rather good .........  tho' it could lead to a few ''mistakes'' here and there, but well worth it for the laughs.  Yes, the  Epic is impressive isn't it.  Wonder what it's future will be.

I hope you are right!
Unfortunately we have hearing comments like that for the last few months & what little news we have had as all been bad!

Thanks VV I would really appreciate if you could edit my username, although as Ross says I do like curries maybe a freudian slip
