There will also be a number of ex-Wasps/Worcester players who have signed short term contracts with other clubs, for substantially less than their previous contracts. Moving back to the region may be close to their home etc etc.

Time for Positivity - is it waning?

Personally think the outpouring from Atlas over a week ago put a significant stop /delay to our processes. Kind of suggests we were advancing in talks with them and their true stature became more obvious. In two days time it is March and for me that is close to crossing a significant threshold to keep our family interested. Here is hoping - very soon!

Hang in there neils! Does feel like the shambles at Wuss has caught us in its web a bit. Maybe time to declare for Solihull and move on?

My positivity hasn't waned. I still feel as positive about Wasps coming back as before but it's difficult to deny that Atlas have certainly put a huge spanner in the works. The golden question, in my opinion, isn't "if" but "when". Yes, things are far from certain (I accept that the "when" could very well influence the "if"), but we are much further down the road than Worcester are and with a lot less controversy.

I certainly don't feel delusional, but it feels easier to be positive about Wasps coming back as my mindset is still with Wasps being gone. If all of this falls flat, nothing will have materially changed since we went bust.

Plus 1.  Wasps is fortunate in having  the Legends working on our behalf. They are professional, intelligent, and the opposite of Atlas.  If anyone can sort out this mess they can.  If they have to keep schtum it must be for a good reason.  But please God - can we know soon.

And Welsh players too by the sounds of things. Along with some of the premiership squad players who will inevitably be dropped to balance the books.

No news is good news, so the saying goes.

It's all *very* quiet though... something to stir the soul would be good!

Is there actually a date when you have to declare a squad for the upcoming season? I know everyone keeps saying it takes time to sort these things out but when does it become too late to be ready for next season

Nothing wrong with that, you show me someone who would pay more tax than they needed to and i'll show you a liar.

Extremely rich coming from The Daily Mail, the same Daily Mail whose Billionaire owner claimed non-dom status in order to avoid paying tax on his stately home

Yes the Worcester board were waiting for this. Thankfully most verbals concerning Wasps have been disappeared!
