Speaking on BT Sport, Wasps legend Lawrence Dallaglio addressed the clubs uncertain future could lead to them entering administration.
However, a lot of fans were not happy with his statement.
One fan wrote: "This is appalling from dallaglio. If the RFU and Premiership rugby have any integrity then it won’t matter that wasps are a so called big club. They will have to face the same music as Worcester. Stop giving this bloke a platform to speak. It’s a clear conflict of interest"
"His argument is literally "we're a big club so shouldn't face the consequences of our reckless gamble". We've all had to compete with Wasps getting the benefit of that £35m bond. Now they have to face the consequences of taking it too," said a second.
A third added: "Disgusting take Dallaglio Wasps previous history has nothing to do with it. Do not dismiss what happened to us as something that shouldn't happen to Wasps 'cus history' Pathetic from BT Sport to keep doing this
Lawrence Dallaglio snubs Jonny Wilkinson from his All-Time World XV
He talked about the brilliant players that he has played with and watched. Then he decided to pick his best XV, with all the players that would make up a team of an all-time rugby XV.
However, despite selecting Jonny Wilkinson in his all-time England XV, the 2003 World Cup hero missed out on a spot in his teammates World XV with Australia legend Michael Lynagh instead taking the number 10 shirt.
Check out his full selection below.
15 CHRISTIAN CULLEN (NZ): Comes down to Cullen or Serge Blanco. While Blanco might have been a great player for a longer period, Cullen’s best years were sensational
14 DAVID CAMPESE (AUS): Wasn’t always generous in his comments about England but he was a great player and, really, he walks into the team
13 JERRY GUSCOTT (ENG): The way Jerry could accelerate onto a pass made him unique in my eyes. One of those players with the ability to do something that changed a game
12 FRANK BUNCE (NZ): Lots of people will say ‘how can you not pick Tim Horan at No 12?’ Horan was a great player, a better attacker than Bunce but I loved Bunce’s physicality
11 JONAH LOMU (NZ): If only for the matches he played against England, he would get in, but Lomu played plenty of other great matches.
10 MICHAEL LYNAGH (AUS): Dan Carter, Jonny Wilkinson or Lynagh? I would go for Lynagh. His ability to control a game was phenomenal and he was so hard to get at
9 NICK FARR-JONES (AUS): Gets in before Joost van der Westhuizen. Farr-Jones could be a brilliant link man, or an extra forward and he was an awesome wind-up merchant. Slippery Nick, not a bad bloke at all
1 JASON LEONARD (ENG): People might say, ‘ah, Lawrence liked Leonard and put him in his World team’ but how can you get 115 caps, play in three decades, two World Cup finals and not be a pretty extraordinary player?
2 SEAN FITZPATRICK (NZ): To do it for as long as he did it, in a country where the scrutiny is intense and every mistakes is seized upon, that takes something special. Defined the role of the modern hooker
3 OLO BROWN (NZ): When the All Blacks had Dowd, Fitzpatrick and Brown in their front, they only ever went in one direction, forward. Brown was an awesome player, a truly brilliant scrummager
4 MARTIN JOHNSON (ENG - captain): About 10 years ago, I said Johnson and John Eales would be my second-row forwards in a World XV. Nothing has changed. Farr Jones, Fitzpatrick and Eales and Johnno would still be my captain
5 JOHN EALES (AUS): He could dominate the lineout, make plenty of tackles, maintain an unbelievable workrate, kick goals and remain the calmest person on the pitch. Great foward and great leader
6 RICHARD HILL (ENG): It is unusual not to have a Springbok in my World XV but was Francois Pienaar better than Hill? Not in my opinion. The thing about Hill is that even at the highest level, he didn’t make mistakes
8 ZINZAN BROOKE (NZ): So talented, so physical, such a great understanding of the game and so bloody competitive
7 MICHAEL JONES (NZ): He had everything. Quick, athletic, skilful, brave, and a great team player. There have been some great No 7s; Winterbottom, Back, George Smith, Richie McCaw but none as good as Jones.
"It's worrying times for all rugby fans"
"In terms of Wasps, it is a complex situation"
"Everyone is working around the clock to find a solution"
