I’ve read that Hatherall could already be on his way to Stade Français.

Lawrence summarised well with "cowboys". Unfortunately football is full of them, and now rugby's getting that way. When clubs assets are parcelled up physically and/or financially as at Wuss and Wasps, poo happens.

Chris Foy just tweeted that the owners are avoiding administration because that would mean forensic examination of their actions. These include trying to transfer title deeds for the land around Sixways to a petrol services company.

IF it goes through this could be huge!! The fact is atm staff are doubting the club can stump up the funds for hosting a game at the weekend so this could be JUST in the nick of time

It will be interesting to see who this is rumoured to be... sounds like it may be a controversial pick with fans though.

Rumour on the wires is that the potential new owner is going to be a bit interesting and not too popular with some of the supporters. Wonder who it might be.

I have a strong suspicion it will all end in tears.

It seems that Worcester may have less than an hour to get it all agreed and paid if they want to host games this weekend...

Talk about cutting it fine...

Mistakes after mistakes..

DCMS sent out an email this morning saying Worcester were in administration. HOWEVER it turns out they drafted an email in case of administration and they managed to send it out by accident without Worcester being in administration...
