We Need to talk about Worcester

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Do wasps have supporters to back themselves let alone back the merger?

 

[Scotty]

Worcester Wasps, anyone?

Im curious what was the proposal? Play in Worcester or Cov because 1 set of fans would have been ******.

Presumably sell the Ricoh to pay off debts and play in Wuss

IF it were to happen - that's the most likely; especially as Wasps really want a plastic pitch anyway - just aren't allowed one in Cov.
Otherwise, name change to "Worcester Wasps" and add a blue hoop to the shirt (or turn the black to a deep, dark blue) for a few years, then quietly drop the references to Worcester after 5-10 years or so.

Then move to Gloucester and hover up that team, Bristol next....

In more depressing news:


Means players can start the process of tearing up their contracts - seen someone say that T Hill, Hatherell, DVDM, F Smith, Batley and Kvesic will be leaving

Worcester Wasps, anyone?

Waspy Warriors.

Just an army of women angry about pensions once the exodus is complete

 

[Crash Hamster]

So, even if the club is eventually saved, all the really good players will have left.

Marvellous.

It looks like any rescuer would have 2 weeks to take over and honour existing contracts before they're nullified.

[pagliaccio_euforico]

good on them to make the call now. The actions of the owners had me thinking they would pretend to play the game until the last minute.

Really hoping that they can sort out a new owner before the season.

 

[Don't Skip Leg Day]

This is so sad for a lot of people. Hope the owners get prosecuted somehow.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Duhan can close all his tabs of AirBnbs in Paris now

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Honestly isn't DVDM on like 400,000 why not let him go

 

[Don't Skip Leg Day]

How many times will he even play, then how many times will he actually touch the ball with Worcester (unless they go down the 'pass it to the big kid' game plan).

Should have spent them money on some forwards possibly.

Gotta imagine that they can't, otherwise, like you said, it's an easy way to claw back 6 figures per season
Redundancy pay (pay out the rest of his contract?) or something like that
