“There is a 70 per cent chance Wasps will return. I don’t see us not coming back to a really good level if things go to plan,” said Logan, who was speaking to Planer Rugby.
“Plenty of people want Wasps back. It seems we’ve had every league in the world ask ‘do you want to come back and play with us’ – including as a US franchise in Major League Rugby.”
He added: “We won’t bring it back for it just to fail. It has to come back with a real plan.
“That’s why we’re working with Sevenoaks District Council. We need our own ground, our own training ground, our own facilities, we need to be able to make money from it, be able to build a business.
“We need to build an arena rugby can be played in but also where we can do multiple other things when rugby is not there. That’s the key.”
