Depends upon what your aim is e.g. the original nopm argument was sisu are bad for ccfc and we will never progress under them so the priority is to get rid of sisu and the way to do that is deprive them of income because they are only in it for the money so will clear off when there is none. For...

Don't think I've ever hoped so much that other people are right i.e. that wasps will be good for ccfc, sisu will leave cos of wasps, cfrc won't be harmed. Can I cross my own fingers and hope I'm wrong both in opposing the wasps deal on principle and because I don't see how it is good for us?

Spot on - I always said you were the voice of reason!

Jan has posted on here that he is happy for people to send him questions for the SCG and he will raise them so why not go ahead and create a 'questions for the SCG' thread and Jan can then pick them up (and ignore abusive or otherwise inappropriate ones)?

I thought the sisu early years was the one bit of the saga that wasn't disputed ie they bought ccfc pre crash when sisu were awash with money to the extent that seppala wasn't even involved in the decision to buy; as recession deepened and sisu's money was fast disappearing, joy looked at things...

Yes! sisu = Daleks cos they just destroy, and wasps are Cyber Men because they convert human Coventry City fans into cyborg-supporters of a southern rugby team!

choose whatever analogy works for you...parasites? cancer on the club? I thought the idea of traveling from planet to planet [company to company] like a swarm of locusts, devouring each world's [company's] resources before moving on to the next one, works quite well

Isn't the point that sisu are asset strippers and they're now down to gnawing on the bare bones that are left of ccfc? sisu don't produce/create/innovate or even act like a normal business. A bit like the aliens in Independence Day?

With all the short-term contracts sisu can liquidate as soon as there is a problem for them and lack of season ticket sales for 2015/16 could be such a problem. Or they could just reduce the playing budget to match whatever the income level is. They key for sisu is not making a loss...

I've already posted this on a different thread but I think the question to ask is why would sisu leave? They are not incurring further losses, they get an occasional windfall from selling young players and are no longer under any pressure from protests, questions in parliament, national media...

Moff, I think the question is why would sisu leave? They are not incurring further losses, they get an occasional windfall from selling young players and are no longer under any pressure from protests, questions in parliament, national media stories etc, and no one is going to offer more than a...

Thanks, Jan. Questions from a thread on here yesterday: Me - Will wasps benefit CCFC and if so, please give concrete examples of things wasps have already done, or will do shortly, for the benefit of ccfc? Markcov - Have Otium suggested anything Wasps could do for the benefit of CCFC...

Steve, is there a way that Trust members who can't make the meeting can submit questions?

Great post Ashdown! Nailed it

I can't speak for others but I don't hate wasps but I am critical of what they are doing because it is another example of sport being turned into financial franchising, uprooting any sports club over a hundred miles is wrong in principle (just as us being moved to NTFC was), it will harm Cov...

Good point! So we've got two questions: Please give one concrete example of something wasps have done, or will do shortly, for the benefit of ccfc' and 'have Otium suggested anything Wasps could do for the benefit of CCFC?' plus there's NW's 2 good questions as well.

Suspect that's being done for the benefit of wasps not ccfc! For the absolute avoidance of doubt, I'll amend the question to: 'Please give one concrete example of something wasps have done, or will do shortly, for the benefit of ccfc'. thx

The absolutely basic point is there's people on here and elsewhere on social media saying things like a new stadium will be built, wasps will buy ccfc, wasps will benefit us or disagree that sisu need to go before we can make progress; so the OP was asking if anyone can provide any facts to back...

247 replies to the OP - lots of opinions, lots of assertion, lots of conjecture but I'm not sure there's been even one piece of factual information offered! If we focus on what we know (as in the OP) rather than opinion, conjecture, assertion etc, there is no reason for sisu to leave but we...
