When it comes to CCFC's predicament, the buck stops with the owners. No amount of finger pointing and foot stamping will alter this.

CCFC had agreed a 2+2, this hasn't changed. So if Wasps hadn't taken over CCFC would still be in the same position they are today.

Yep, the current predicament is all down to ACL (and CCC/Wasps?)!

So I'm a fanboi as I recognise our owners are useless, have no intention of building a stadium and should get round the table with Wasps and agree the best deal for all involved? Maybe I should just cross my fingers and hope Wasps go out of business in five years?

Blimey, talk about skewing what I said! People outside of the rugby world did engage (try a quick Google) and at no stage did I make out, say or imply the entire world were involved.

Not wearing sky blue tinted glasses and asking questions (please note the question marks in the post you've quoted) means it's personal to me? Your interpretation is your interpretation (but wrong by the way!). Why should ACL have extended the olive branch? SISU had left them out of pocket...

They'd already agreed in August? Can you post a link? Cheers.

Right?

Let slip? Why shouldn't ACL have been talking to other parties? The stadium was empty, what were ACL suppose to do? Twiddle their thumbs or begged to CCFC came back? SISU had moved them to Northampton for three years whilst a new stadium was being built don't forget!

Blimey, talk about paranoid!

It could be argued that all these parties had involved in the situation, but surely the fact our owners, as custodians of CCFC, have had any involvement is the biggest issue? I'm not a fanboi of any of those mentioned (despite what people may think/assume) and whilst firing a shot at another...

Very good post. "But it’s a cause without a rebel!"

People are appethetic. Verbal support or signing a petition is one thing, but if it was a choice between CCFC going under or people having to put their hand in their pocket and put in the commitment to go to games, then I just can't see them doing it. They'd shrug, say "Oh that's a shame, my...

Therefore logically the CCFC gates should be greater than 11k. The belief that most people care about the club is misplaced.

Nope. Fact. Why didn't you highlight "The fact SISU had"? "Coventry City's plan to groundshare with Northampton Town for the next three years has been "reluctantly approved" by the Football League board." www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/23233268

So basically all guess work and assumption on your behalf?

The desire for Wasps to fail just seems like sour grapes to me. Rather that dicking around they just cracked on, made an acceptable bid and took over. Some seem to think the stadium should have been handed to CCFC on a plate and there was a underhand plot to ensure this never happened...

So what can rugby learn from football? Pay players £100k a week? Be a totally fanny if another player brushes by you? Roll around like you've been snipered? Crowd the ref? Act like a petulant child if given a card? Have perfectly groomed hair? Segregate the fans because of somes inability to...
