Wasps

Wasps who accrued over £100M of debt whilst going bust have issued a statement this morning on their wish to return to playing competitive rugby.  "We can now inform you that we have secured the core Sustainable finance and a Stadium in which to play. All we are waiting for is a competition to join that will allow us to compete at the highest level - and one that shares our values." 

Can I suggest that they look at the core values of rugby union of Teamwork, Respect, Enjoyment, Discipline and Sportsmanship and start at the bottom of the league structure and earn their place in the game on the field. I would fully support the championship clubs boycotting their return to tier 2.

I think that's a disgraceful slur. It was only £95m of debt wasn't it? And after all who hasn't accidentally issued a bond they haven't repaid?

Waffling on about values from anyone is cringy from Wasps it is amusing.  

So, when it comes to debts new Wasps are nothing to do with Wasps.

But when it comes to rugby, they want to claim the history.

Can you spell Doublethink?

Orwell would be proud.

If they had the audacity to let them play in the Championship, they won’t worry about a bit of booing. By then, the damage will have been done.

Every single club should prevent this at all costs. If they plan on starting so high they may as well let them play in the Prem and cast that division adrift.
