Looks like something might finally be breaking through their thick skin, keep up the good work.
You really are some angry man , ever thought of anger management programme or psychiatric therapyStrange you quote me but never have the balls to actually debate anyone who argues against your obvious hatred of the club.
Same as when you were jack griffin. Always up the councils arse - never posting about football
You don't even have the balls to answer nicks Pm's
You won't have the balls to answer this will you Council boy?

I am sure your employers wouldn't want to lose you and have these facilities available
Well they don't own the fucking thing do theyRicoh owners Wasps – with £43million debts and ongoing losses but success on the pitch – last year cited ongoing legal action as a reason for calling off talks with Coventry City over a deal for the Sky Blues to remain there after next season, when the current rental deal expires.
The Sky Blues have said they received a paltry £73,000 for the whole of last season in matchday revenues from the stadium – with Wasps creaming off the rest – and nothing in commercial non-matchday stadium revenues, which could otherwise be ploughed back into the team.
Nice "neutral" reporting there![]()
Imo they are waiting for a financial crash at wasps."Break even is all that matters"
If the Ricoh doesn't suit that aim.
Does it matter massively if you 'breakeven' in division 4 in front of Less than 10000 fans.
Or in the bottom halve of division 3
In front of 11-15k fans.
Whichever guarantees you breakeven you will choose.
The only way that would make sense to me is they don't believe the Wasps model is sustainable. So you either get CCFc to a point where you can sit and wait till Wasps break.
Or
You convince everyone you are ok to sit as you are forever as you are at 'breakeven'. Whilst you wait for something to happen because Wasps can't maintain what they are doing. I.E who blinks first.
No idea which it is. Very hard to work out what our owners' long term plan is.

What is Les on about here?
"The Sky Blues have said they received a paltry £73,000 for the whole of last season in matchday revenues from the stadium – with Wasps creaming off the rest – and nothing in commercial non-matchday stadium revenues, which could otherwise be ploughed back into the team."
I thought CCFC share the percentage taken off Compass 50/50 with Wasps on City matchdays.
Wasps have not creamed off the rest, Compass who invested a large some of money, have got some return on their investment.
He seems pissed off because he was so out on his exclusive "Sky Blues new home" exclusive.
John Sharp and the board do not want to work with SISU. All the rest is deflection from this main point.
Blame the fans, the council, Millerchip, Wasps and the Telegraph. I don't buy it. SISU have poisoned the "brand" Coventry City FC.
That is fact. Very sad that the club is suffering.
Les is getting embarrassing.
I've never understood all this BPA talk? Its not suitable for CCFC going forward.and there is a perfectly suitable stadium we play in now and can keep doing so I'm sure. Owning our stadium is not the priority in the medium term. Working with WASP and getting the team successful first is. IF we should go for our own stadium it will need to have an ability to house 30k people. No point wasting time on this BPA nonsense. Its a distraction from all things SISU and their removal.

Couldn't agree more. The financial numbers don't match up and Wasps are tossing money around on players they can't afford. The Ricoh was obtained on the 'never never' and they have to pay back a bond they won't be able to pay back on the current terms. They have a average gate of 13k which includes free tickets galore and under 10's going free. It's heading for a financial mess in a few years time with Wasps. The rugby worlds letting them get on with it as it'll go sour as they will be bust.Imo they are waiting for a financial crash at wasps.
This will happen eventually, question is where will we actually be in 2 or 3 years time.
Cov Utd move in.Couldn't agree more. The financial numbers don't match up and Wasps are tossing money around on players they can't afford.

They also can't get a decent sponsership I understand for when the Ricoh naming rights end.... rugby simply doesn't attract the big money and wasps think it'll just happen. It won't happen without a football club there.
What happens to the Ricoh then?
I would have sworn you were talking about "Les... The award winning journalist ... Reid" then!
Narcissism takes many forms![]()
If anyone is looking for who to blame look no further than an organisation that sues anyone that takes a decision they don't like. Who'd want to partner with that kind of Company???
Are you referring to Higgs? :woot:If anyone is looking for who to blame look no further than an organisation that sues anyone that takes a decision they don't like. Who'd want to partner with that kind of Company???
I thought CCFC were off the radar and insignificant?Wasps sponsors are holding back on things like stadium deals/sponsorship
Well they are to blame in some people's eyes.Are you referring to Higgs? :woot:

Chief Dave Nick scroll up a few posts ;-)
His dad was leader of the council. He's been indoctrinated since a child. You have to pity him really.
You are quite literally insane.
I assume you have no arguments about any of the points raised and that's why you resort to pathetic insults about someone's job 20 years ago.
I'd explain things like why the council built a swimming pool after massive public outcry to you, but I'm not sure I have enough crayons.
Yeah its a right mess for Wasps, I wonder if they regret buying the Ricoh? top of the Premiership, later stages of European cup, several lifetimes lease of stadium, near capacity crowds,I could go on.........Couldn't agree more.

Lets say CCFC are on the radar as a negative to business.I thought CCFC were off the radar and insignificant?
Can you explain how the council's value for money comparison between Fairfax St and the Higgs Centre worked? I read the report but it sounded like bollocks.You are quite literally insane.

Not bad for only being here 2 years though ?They are averaging about 15,000 for a top premiership, later stages of the European cup team, not near capacity crowds. And still giving out loads of freebies.
