This is just unbelievably frustrating, is there any possibility that CCFC could co-exist with WASPS as joint owners of the Ricoh ? PS before I'm accused of anything hate WASPs with a passion more than any other sporting club, Just want the club back in Coventry with decent owners

Are Wasps being bought out too then?

I wonder how much this PR is costing them.
Biggest bastard move would be to wire Webber Shandwick and try and access the info CCC used 6 years ago.

not sure what you mean by that WASPs are in a financial mess, we're playing in B'ham next season, there are interested parties who want to buy the club we have owners who understandably won't sell at this point in time but maybe they could strike a deal for shared ownership (after the EC ruling) just clutching at straws but hoping that there is light at the end of the tunnel.

Went to look for a few tweets that went up yesterday to give it the old this didn't age well and they've been deleted!
Absolute bullshit they said.

What interested parties want to buy us?

Who are these interested parties?
I doubt Hoffman can afford it now Oversons pulled out. That's probably the reason they are trying to distress the club because they need the price knocked down.

This is certainly how I heard the rumour for the first time. Overson has quit the consortium and its because Wasps are involved.

A consortium that includes WASPs as well as that Richard Overson is still interested in supporting a potential takeover

The Richard Overson that pulled out of a consortium because London Wasps were involved. You now want him to join with London Wasps in a consortium to buy the club? Are you alright mate?

it seems to some the hatred of SISU is the most important thing, and blinkers anything else that might get in the way of that.
Cant say they were ever top of my Christmas card list, for obvious reasons... although I slowly came to believe that the council and other parties were as much , if not more to blame... as they should have ensured we could always play at the the stadium built for us, part financed by us and which they controlled ownership of.. end of!

No I don't just stating that there are interested parties not saying I want WASPs to buy the club.

?? so you're saying that Overson is lying in the article linked in the OP?

Rekon all of this coming out may lead to wasps begging us to come back

We are stuck between a rock and a hard place, WASPs/ CCC distressing the club however must remember how are current owners SISU were prepared to do that in 2013, do we genuinely believe for the next 2 /3 seasons with SISU as owners and WASPs at the Ricoh there will be good times ahead.

All this proves is Wasps are as big a danger to the future of CCFC as SISU. Sooner both go the better.

Neither are going anywhere
We just need one more of the comedy statements for the whole stack of cards to fall.
We also need local media to see the bigger picture now regarding Ricoh discussions to pressure a return.

Who else is involved along with Wasps? That's my worry.
It was all too obvious that it was going to be another Haskell situation, the worry was if it backfired.

why would you worry about who else would be involved with WASPs, they are owned like us by a hedge fund

Lets hope they are the rats and wasps are the sinking ship

I am on about the consortium who you say are interested in buying us whilst we are distressed to try and force a sale.

I think he means involved alongside Wasps in the consortium discussion.

I’m going out on a limb here - Richard Overson will be the club’s next owner.

You mean Hoffman elliot etc.. Personally very disappointed they allowed WASPs in and been part of this dubious tactic, always saw the Hoff as a good guy

There’s your first mistake.
