the holes in the ffp rules are wide enough to drive a bus through, the constant talk about ffp (scmp actually) is and has always been nonsense. Especially when every action they have taken has ended up lowing the revenue for scmp reasons, pissing off fans, moving to northampton, ending up with...

yes, everyone wants ccfc to own their own stadium. As always though you don't listen to what people are actually saying.

I'm not convinced we will survive, it's constant down hill from here until something changes and everything they are doing makes the decline faster. This isn't an argument for building a stadium though that's just foolish thought, it simply isn't going to happen, if it were going to, we'd own...

no, it will be because building outside of Coventry is not what Coventry need to do to survive, in fact it's a much worse decision financially than just staying put. If Wasps chucked us out (they won't) and people still wouldn't accept a new stadium outside of Coventry then you and BSB would...

It's possible things like ground rent changed when they increased the length of the lease but regarding things like revenues it would all be exactly the same, Paxman I think you've gotten very confused here.

6 large packs of the home cured flying pig bacon I made.

Nothing wrong with that at all, I have no issue whatsoever with people who have an issue with wasps moving away from their fans, it's a perfectly reasonable reason to dislike them, I havn't taken a position on it myself as I don't know if it's true that it was necessary, sucks for the wasps fans...

nope im not happy for them just disappointed for us, they've profited from our suffering.

Sure wasps fans have every right to be furious with wasps if they wish and we have every right to be furious with sisu and the council if we wish. it doesn't make much sense though for us to be angry with wasps (unless it's on behalf of their fans, rather than because they have our stadium).

but no one is happy about it are they? there is a massive difference though between not being pleased that CCFC can now not buy ACL. and considering ourselves at war with the evil wasps, I think we all know this deal has been bad news for our club in the medium/long term, but we were screwed by...

It did not stop people doing that, I fully agree, that was misplaced too, I wasn't one of them though, in fact in the same way I'm defending wasps here I defended Northampton. Oh no I made a grammar error on the internet.

It's not really true, the vast majority are ambivalent, a significant chunk are excited, a very small minority are very angry with wasps. It had nothing to do with them though, weather you completely blame sisu or blame the council and sisu, it had nothing to do with wasps. Nearly all the...

I would have a much stronger opinion of course I would, you and I have discussed this in the past though and you weren't smart enough to have a reasonable conversation with then, so it's pointless us doing so again. blah blah hypocrite you squeal.

I don't think what sisu did was franchising, wasps I'm alot less sure on, but really does it matter what you call it. we all know what sisu did and we all know what wasps have done and we can judge or not judge accordingly. I can understand why he doesn't think it's franchising because it's...

The fact that wasps directly own acl suggests this argument is flawed.

We can make all sorts of different assumptions to produce numbers and none of them make it look a good idea, if we can't do a back of the fag packet calculation of why it's a good idea even making the most generous assumptions then it's not a good idea. There is also absolutely no scenario where...

you actually said you would only find the long term deal acceptable with that condition in place. There is of course nothing wrong with asking for it other than it being an unreasonable request and thus a bit insulting, as long as you're willing to make the deal without it. The new stadium...

Because you arn't going to get it so making it a condition just means you arn't going to succeed, you've said you'd only find a long term deal acceptable with these things, you arn't going to get all those things, therefore you won't consider it acceptable and the chance of improving from our...

I'd have thought we're worth about an extra 100k a year. a long term, cheap rent deal with access to all matchday revenues and an agreement to work together with the current owners is the absolute best scenario we can hope for realistically at least under sisu. Why would you add a condition to...

yes as I wrote it I was thinking well it wouldn't be as stupid as moving the club to northampton ;-)
