It might be that there's likely little to report at the moment other than "situation is the same as before".

I'd imagine the next time we will hear from Wasps will either be:

1) We have secured X stadium to play at.
2) We have assembled a squad of players and coaches.
3) Our first game is on X date, against X, playing at home/away.

This is obviously staying positive!

I would think it would be more in line with "We have fully satisfioed the RFU/PRL (do they even still have any say if we are Championship bound?) requirements and will play next season at "X". Maybe announce a Coach at the same time to give confidence.
Let me tell you something cucumber

Exactly that. Things will be reported when they happen.

Really hoping for similar positive messages by the end of Feb. Would be very welcome on a personal level and it would provide motivation to plan into next rugby season.

Be brilliant if we're based near Solihull area allowing me to get a lift to see Wasps and to hopefully see some of the guys from here too.

We should be looking to hold a Wasps Resurrection Dinner.

So far there has been very little from the rumour mill which could mean a best case scenario that they sare running a very tight ship, worst case that nothing is happening.

Ref your points:

1) Even if we are running a very tight ship, there's to many on the other side of the transaction to keep it quiet for long. Someone will either want to brag to a journalist to show they are in the know, or someone who doesn't want us there will leak to try to get it stopped. This thought does not feel me with much confidence, and I'm usually a glass 3/4 full person.

2) I can't see them signing more than 1 or 2 players before the rumours start going round. Again, someone will want to curry favour with the press or a family member innocently will let it slip. I can see a coach being signed up with much in the way of rumours, but again being open to family members or some other innocent remark.

3) At some point the Championship has to publish next years fixtures, there's that I suppose.

Overall I find the lack of official and unofficial information rather dispiriting.

Or a shuffle.

Sounds like an idea. Presumably Burger and Bacon are off the menu. Should we invite Fazlet to the tackling course?

Agreed, unless they?ve managed to get a lot done under the radar it?s not looking good for next season, if at all.

I agree it doesn't look great - I'm just going to have blind faith and continue to believe that no news is good news. Blind faith is all I have!
