    Time for a trust statement

    Personally I am very happy for CCC actions and decisions to be challenged or questioned, especially the recent ones. The recent ones shape the clubs future to a great degree, but equally the safety of that future is not the prime responsibility of CCC - that lies with whichever owner the club...

    Time for a trust statement

    It will be interesting for a few of us Zack, I would like to know what went on sure, but it is not high on my list of priorities for CCFC. We don't actually know there is anything to unearth. It just seems to be a search for a stick to beat CCC and perhaps others including CCFC with. As someone...

    Time for a trust statement

    No NIck. SISU made mistakes, CCC made mistakes, ACL made mistakes but we have to deal with what is now, we need solutions based on what is because CCFC is at risk NOW

    Time for a trust statement

    Sorry Zack but we are going to have to differ on this finding out all that solves what exactly? Changes what exactly? It wont get us the stadium. It wont help this club survive. So we understand he said she said a little more assuming it can be backed up and believed - bluntly so what? It wont...

    Time for a trust statement

    What purpose would it serve to get these details or the details of Manhattan or Shapiro discussions other than personal interest. Sorry Zack but people should be focussing on solving the far more pressing current issues not stuff from a decade ago and that involved two companies (CCFC Ltd & CCFC...

    BPA Update

    Just correcting the post by Grendel earlier NIck and the contents of the link he posted. The article says the following "The Wasps’ arrival coincides with the launch of the Coventry Sports Foundation, founded on the philanthropy of the American lawyer and former Coventry player Chris Millerchip,"

    Time to take the leap forward...

    From what I can see there is no will, real desire, finances from any of the parties involved, (particularly from SISU) to get such a scheme off the ground Sorry but it is not going to happen

    BPA Update

    just to correct something Coventry Sports Foundation was started in 1988 and was operating sites well before Wasps ever got here What Millerchip has backed is this CSF "Engage" campaign promoting rugby and the idea of a City of Rugby

    Shadowy Coventry sports bodies, a City of Rugby & squeeze on CCFC

    whilst I am all for making things transparent all these links and such were hardly shadowy - you just had to look its all on public record, the majority is filed at Companies House and can be accessed by anyone for free, https://beta.companieshouse.gov.uk/ Bottom line is we still need a...

    BPA Update

    If you look at it Nick very little actually comes out about such things from Wasps - I was just thinking aloud really, might be completely wrong but there are a lot of assumptions being made about a lot of things ................

    BPA Update

    I wonder if we are reading this bit about stopping legals wrongly and making the assumption that it refers to JR1 & JR2. The Armstrong interview goes on about background legal noise and then says that JR1 & JR2 are nothing to do with them. Clearly they entered in to talks whilst the JR stuff was...

    Higgs have legal clauses inserted to block CCFC and back Wasps only

    no it wasn't the AEHC took no part in the day to day running of the AHC, they AEHC provided the funding and secured it. It is not the clerk to the Trustees that makes the decisions for the AEHC its the Trustees

    Higgs have legal clauses inserted to block CCFC and back Wasps only

    You know what Nick that's what is wrong in a lot of these discussions - focus on emotions and making assumptions of fact from it A lot of the time the actual cold facts are simply ignored It perpetuates un-necessary arguments when what we actually need at all levels are solutions. Very often...

    Higgs have legal clauses inserted to block CCFC and back Wasps only

    It was added because AEHC Trustees have £12m invested/loaned to the leaseholders of Alan Higgs Centre and the trustees do not want to do business with SISU (land or lease deals) and can choose to rely on the clause if need be. However if it were CCFC owned by another new party unconnected to...

    Higgs have legal clauses inserted to block CCFC and back Wasps only

    To prevent ownership or long lease yes - neither of which the Academy needs or has needed for the last 3 years - so how exactly does that prevent the Academy being there now or in the future? Are there other factors that might, some not mentioned yet, yes but the clause actually does not stop...

    Higgs have legal clauses inserted to block CCFC and back Wasps only

    Does the clause in itself stop the Academy being there? Does the clause stop an arrangement similar to what has been in place the last 3 years for a Cat 2 Academy? Do CCFC require ownership or even a long lease of 7 years + to be there? The AEHC have never owned/run the Alan Higgs Centre...

    So if this is a forced takeover...

    Does the clause stop us having an Academy then? I can tell you now it doesn't. But agree the fans should be behind the club, but I am not at all surprised they are not

    So if this is a forced takeover...

    is it ? I don't see any associated court cases. "we don't want to deal with you" is legal and effective but it is not aimed at CCFC it is firmly directed at SISU. Taking any guesses about how they might respond? Think I can guess I think it is not an out right aggressive stance it is just "no...

    So if this is a forced takeover...

    Higgs have legal clauses inserted to block CCFC and back Wasps only

    I have always been a passionate supporter of our CCFC Academy, highlighted threats to it on here, gone and watched the U18's at the Higgs centre. Trying to step back from the emotional aspect attached to the latest shenanigans. So what follows is aimed at being a cold assessment. Firstly what...
