Wasps have massively overspent - they built a new training facility in Cov a couple of years back, and have been paying their players too much. Their real support base is back in the Smoke, Coventry already had a traditional rugby club that had great success back in the 70s and the locals weren't enthused enough to switch their allegiance in sufficiently large numbers. They're the second Premiership side to go to the wall this season, and rumour has it that they won't be the last.
Exeter keep their heads above water by not over-paying players, which explains why ex-Teignmouth player Sam Simmonds is off to Montpellier next season - he knows that he's not guaranteed a place in the England team, and so he's given up on international rugby to make some money from a game which he's very good at. I wouldn't be surprised if his brother Joe, also ex-Teignmouth, followed him to France.
Premiership rugby teams have to realise that they're a very poor cousin of football's Premier League.
