I thought in playing at the Ricoh he said 'That ship has sailed' didn't he?

Since then he has been pretty adamant we were going to play elsewhere in our own stadium.

no debate to be had.

The fact there are only 8 posts, 12 hours after his appearance, shows exactly how much people aren't bothered by his comments anymore.

only one thing worse, than being talked about...........

I don’t think that particular comment was a lie. The plan was always to play at the ricoh.
However I don’t think the plan always was to play at the Ricoh whilst trying to break the business model of Wasps.

As I said I don’t think that comment yesterday was incorrect.
I think plan was and always has been to play at the Ricoh. I think we are still in the middle of that same generally unsuccessful plan. However now that plan is now been put into action again different people (Wasps)

Hopefully the rugby franchise will be out of the city in the medium term and an actual Coventry team can own it.

Don't you agree?

Don’t bank on that mate,
The fact is at the moment come May we are to be homeless serious questions need to be asked weekly even daily about where we will be at if the Ricoh is a no go, Fisher said yesterday live on telly there’s a plan “B” and a plan “C” aswell as the plan A, Ricoh, we know about, media should hound him for his alternative plans. He was the architect of the disastrous move to Northampton which ultimately led us to our current situation, he attends most of our games so each time he is there shove a mic and camera in his face and ask the questions.

He hasn't got any alternative plans...

There are no alternative plans, I can't believe some still quote what he says as evidence when most of what's come out with before has never materialised.

Would absolutely love Coventry to own it.

Just don’t see it happening under SISU.
I think it is the same plan that keeps failing over and over.
In the meantime the football club gets screwed over.

Well his mate has just brought liberty way so maybe a move to Nuneaton cant expand though because a Rugby club own the surrounding land.

I haven't seen the interview but I would think that he is trying to position public perception for something that is going on or about to go on in the back ground. From the comments here I would suspect its along the lines of "we wanted to stay but it wasn't our choice"

true NW but not everyone is actually in a position to influence or direct one of the parties directly involved. To my mind there are only four characters in such a position regarding where CCFC play ..... Seppala & Fisher or Richardson & Eastwood...... the rest is just noise. Fisher has often in the past made such comments when he is trying to drive something

I think we all know here that CCFC need to play at the Ricoh, where the seats are indeed still Sky Blue and the rent and costs now quite reasonable and ultimately Wasps need the footfall from the Sky Blues fans that pour into CV6 to satisfy their business partners around the complex. They also won't want to alienate themselves from the Coventry public by making the football club homeless. As someone else alluded......... two out of town based hedge funds trying to keep alive two sports clubs for different reasons and trying to disguise their debts/losses.

People are probably overthinking this. It was Sky grabbing him for a comment and they only have a very loose grasp on what has actually happened at the best of time so any old soundbite will do for them.

Never had road rage before, but was close yesterday when I pulled up behind a car in traffic and on his back window he had a City badge, a Cov Blaze badge and a Wasps badge.

I'm sure some people just don't get it.
