It is. We have played our last match.

What I find interesting is the different treatment of rugby to football. If it were CCFC in administration there is no doubt that (unless they are a complete basket case like Bury) the administrator would find a buyer. The rumours are that Morecombe will go into administration soon (as collateral damage from Worcester going bust), but there is no doubt in the minds of fans that they will just be sold and carry on, albeit with a points deduction. Nowhere does anyone think they will be wound up, but here we are being wound up but with probably more prospects on or off the field than a club like Morecombe. I guess there must be different laws applying to football clubs than normal businesses.

Perhaps he got a sympathetic judgment as he may well be without a club by the time his ban has run its course.
This is my thought. He would be at a disadvantage looking for a new club with a hefty ban around his neck, so why not keep it short as a week will probably be a big enough ban to see his time at Wasps out.

Also why do coventrylive keep saying Wasps have until Monday to sort things out, I thought it was Wednesday 19th
Radio 5Live were saying this morning that there is a Winding Up petition in the court on Monday. I guess that is why...whether it is accurate or not is another thing.

« on: October 10, 2022, 04:26:37 PM »As a Newportonian and also Wasps supporter, I am more than happy to give any advice needed.
I lived in Caerleon for about 5 years. One of my favourite places in the country.

« on: October 05, 2022, 12:22:47 PM »A measure of the progress of our negotiations could be seen in whether we pick up any Worcester players who are now free agents. In any other circumstances we would be in prime position to sign them. Geography, need, room in the cap. The only thing that would stop us is if we have an uncertain future. If we sign any of them I would take it as a very good sign. Not signing them might be a worrying sign.
Why would any of them sign for a club that might also imminently fold?
I think that's the point. If they do sign it could be a sign that we aren't about to fold.

Wouldn't there have had to have been credible investors 10 days ago? If so I wonder where they went as it sounds like these are new?

« on: September 21, 2022, 04:57:47 PM »This is very sad news, what was Dallaglio talking about last week that Wasps were imminently about to announce good news on their finances!
Maybe this IS the good news. Maybe somebody is lined up to buy it at a knock down price from the administrators.
Possibly, but what would happen to the ground? Would that still go to the bond holders anyway?

« on: September 14, 2022, 04:38:47 PM »you do wonder whether the current owners are taking this down to the wire to try & bounce the buyers into a purchase without checking all the cupboards for skeletons?
I have no doubt...if it falls through they will also blame the buyer to try and deflect criticism.
Except, at this point, no one is believing them, not a word that they say.
True, but I wonder if they are self aware enough to realise that? or care?
