Very true but if we were told to only expect to be out of PL for 5 or 6 weeks....
Still makes me think what was the point of moving to PL when zero effort has been put in by Hughes to make a go of it.
If we'd stayed at Ealing we'd be able to play ALL our home matches at home, and most likely be able to host a double header at most of said home games. Just saying......

The Hughes version of Omertà is still very baffling. Clearly not a believer in information is power. Unless of course it's about him keeping all the information to himself. Another season aimlessly drifting by it seems.

According to the Times online [i"London Irish could follow Wasps and Worcester into financial meltdown - Gallagher Premiership club failed to pay their players and staff last month".

"London Irish are at risk of following Worcester Warriors and Wasps into financial meltdown after players and staff failed to receive their April salaries.

The American consortium involved in takeover talks with the Gallagher Premiership club informed all employees in a meeting on Friday that their money would not be paid on time.

A follow-up email was sent on Sunday with assurances that confirmation of payment would be received by Monday evening in the UK, once the banks in the United States had opened for business. But it was an empty promise. By the close of business on Tuesday, players and staff had still not been paid, raising an all-too-familiar red flag.

London Irish, who have £30 million of debt, are the third Premiership club this season to find themselves in this situation. Worcester and Wasps both went bust before Christmas and dropped out of the Premiership."[/i

It's a lengthy article and behind a paywall so I won't link to it or copy & paste the whole thing. There's no mention of the possible AFC Wimbledon deal.

If the Times article is correct maybe London Irish should be looking for a groundshare at Trailfinders or Rosslyn Park! I assume Beoncos and AFC have a contractual agreement. One assumes there would be break clauses that either party could exercise but it doesn't look like LI would be a brilliant tenant for AFC if they are more or less bust. I suppose Broncos might exercise a break clause, but they would have to find another ground and it sounds like bridges were burnt with Trailfinders?

There is a break clause after two years. This is Broncos second year.

A usually reliable birdie up north thinks there is something in the story Broncos are looking into leaving Plough Lane.

Feels longer!

I’m still waiting for that update on Curran and Situ that was promised! I’m going out on a limb and gonna say they’ve left the club!

All a bit of a mess. Feel sorry for AFC got back to their spiritual home on an upward trajectory then got involved with Broncos Immediate relegation followed by a narrow avoidance of a further drop. LI may not have a pot but can AFC risk being saddled with us for much longer. We’re becoming a Jonah.

London Irish are almost certain to be kicked out of the RFU tomorrow. The London Irish to Plough Lane rumours must surely be dead.
Irish players are scrambling for new clubs, it may be that some will be open to playing for us. As there is little room in Union Clubs for additional players.
I must also say that. For better or for worse, whatever you think. I was told at the weekend fro a good authority that we will certainly play at Wimbledon next season.

Don't know about the Wimbledon bit but it would appear a miracle of epic proportions is required if LI are to find the funding the RFU are demanding by tomorrow. Looking like they will follow Worcester & Wasps.

Seems LI will be given another week to close out their supposed takeover.
