Rumour at MAN is that the MAN-IOM and LPL-IOM routes are to be cut in a deal with Euromanx in return for them cutting IOM-DUB routes.
This is a very good deal for Euromanx if its true, I have my doubts though.

Just a thought, but would not such a deal breech EU competition rules?

I think cleared for take off is half right, there is no point in continuing with three operators on IOM-MAN so I wouldn't be suprised to see AA come off that. I think LPL is still up for grabs.

With a fleet now down (again) to three aircraft, Air Wales may well end up looking increasingly like a takeover target for Aer Arann 
A possible way out of the current situation would be for AW to contract short-term capacity from, say, Air Atlantique, while their two "tech" planes are undergoing engine surgery; otherwise it's difficult to see how they can survive without the "critical mass" offerred by a 5-aircraft fleet.
Life is tough for independent regionals!

So Man could be the next base and IOM guys could leave little rock for big rock

I've seen Cardiff Lorient too, twice weekly.
No one else does north west france from CWl so might be a good route. I say good luck to Aer Arran, the more competition at Cardiff the better.
EDITED
I just looked at the AWW website and see that they have dropped Paris Beavais and replaced it with Cardiff - Rennes? In response to this route from Aer Arran or is that what provoked aer arran into the route?
