He has just said that when CCFC made the offer for the Higgs half CCFC gave Higgs 2 options.

1. They would completely match anything Wasps did and add £25k (including the bit about the ticket revenue going to Wasps)
2. They could get an independent company in to value it, and CCFC would beat that value.

Seems like he is being a bit more free now he is leaving!

It seems like every time Simon Gilbert says anything, he is arguing it...

 

[Covstu]

I thought it was broken into payments rather than the full amount though?

This is the one when Wasps took over I think.

Kieran only seen the paperwork today so couldn't comment before hand.
But yeah it's obvious in the last few days that Simon Gilbert and Coventry telegraph will stick up for the council and wasps over the football club every day of the week. Shame really. There's two sides to an argument and it can't all be sisu fault !

what is becoming increasingly apparent ccc higgs and wasps wont help the football club in any way with our current owners,to me this is short sited in the extreme as before long there will be nothing left

Hardly a surprise Wasps won't.

tbf you can also see why Higgs might want out.

And also why CCC may be rather less than keen!

The issue is as much with CCC, what they're doing in its place...

Kieran's twitter is great recently, think he's a bit demob happy!

I'm not sure why Simon is so desperately trying to show Kieran to be wrong. If I was a journalist I'd be straight on the phone to him to get a report into the paper.

It has become very very clear over the last couple of days that the football club had zero chance of owning the Ricoh.

 

[bradwellskyblues]

i can understand why the wont but the problem is one day sisu will be gone and frankly there wont be a lot of cov rugby and ccfc left

That's the thing isn't it, Simon is trying his best to disprove everything Kieren says. I guess Keiren is leaving so doesn't give 2 shits about a relationship with the local media.

I hate the name Keiren, can never spell it

Simon said he wants a copy of that offer K says ccfc made. He says they gave 2 options for the Ricoh;

1. Match the wasps offer

2. Independent value of the Ricoh and better it by 25k.

No reason was given on why rejected. Bizarre

 

[Nick]

He has confirmed they would have bettered the Wasps offer too..

I find this attitude frustrating. Do they apply this criteria to every negative story they run about the football club?
He did similar yesterday saying Reid was wrong about the Butts when he first published it as someone at CRFC had denied it, if Fisher denies something they don't just accept it.

You would think a good journo would have a copy rather than waiting for stories to hit their inbox.

Just because Crowley is putting stuff on Twitter, doesn't mean he shouldn't back it up when asked surely. Good timing too

He can shred it then!

But is the same standard being applied to everyone or just when its a story that would put CCFC in a positive light?

I might be wrong but I was under the impression KC held a minor position at the club

Of course, but everything that Crowley is putting out is being taken as gospel on here by some - is that having a balanced view? All sides should be open to an equal level of scrutiny

 

[fernandopartridge]

As mentioned previously. The CCC can bat such claims away. They're not just concerned with the cash. They've got vague social and economic reasons for accepting the Wasps deal. They'll tell you what reasons are when they've worked it out.

Head of Communications isn't he?

Weird that no one feels the same about CCC. Then the "well can you blame them" attitude comes to the fore.

Which explains why he is putting out some very timely tweets doing his job perhaps, de-mob happy or not?

Or to do with him leaving on Friday and not caring so much about his personal link with the Telegraph.

Clearly you haven't read some of my other posts - I take a balanced view, and only starting posting on here again today due to the disgrace that is the Higgs Centre Wasps training ground revelation

Is it time to leave Myopialand again?

Very timely

 

[Nick]

Very timely

What is, him leaving?

He's the communications guy but he deals directly with Mowbray, Fisher, Anderson etc so likely has a good idea what is going on.

Look on twitter. You've got one person who is in a position where they would have seen what was happening saying one thing happened and the local paper basically jumping up and down saying no it didn't.

He's stated he has documents showing it to be true. Same response from the paper.

 

[NorthernWisdom]

He's stated he has documents showing it to be true.

It's fair enough though that if he does have docs, then he should share them with the Telegraph (or at least the Observer ) as here's their chance to get proper public opinion back onside.

And maybe an FOI request or two about the process taken, eh:jimlad:

Yeah a couple of weeks ago you were talking on here about his job being advertised
do you remember! £25.000 p/a wasn't it.

Wasn't even that much!

The salary was a joke - even I earn more!

Yeah, Simon's been a bit lackluster with the exclusives lately. He needs to get his finger out before Les has a one-on-one with Kieren.
