    Wasps bid for Ricoh Arena valued at £30million

    Whilst it would be interesting to know what they pay, I seriously hope it doesn't happen.

    You're not my boss posting under a pseudonym are you.

    Wasps bid for Ricoh Arena valued at £30million

    I used to write English essays at school (back before computers were commonplace) in the same way. My teacher would get them handed in cut and pasted with pritt stick onto more A4 until she got sick of it and I had to write it all out again once I'd finished it. :(

    Wasps bid for Ricoh Arena valued at £30million

    I thought the option for us to get first refusal went when Ltd did and wasn't exercisable when we owed ACL money.

    Wasps bid for Ricoh Arena valued at £30million

    I agree with most if not all of that, the council and the Higgs shouldn't be encouraging Wasps to move.

    Wasps bid for Ricoh Arena valued at £30million

    What mistake? I don't always write things in the order they appear in my finished posts. I also sometimes write them in open office and cut and paste them into tapatalk to post on here when finished as I prefer it for better spell check etc. I never have agreed with franchised sports teams.

    Wasps bid for Ricoh Arena valued at £30million

    I assume you mean the council could exercise their veto over the sale of the Higgs shares - if not please explain furthe. But the Higgs could do the same to the council and use their veto couldn't they, so the council couldn't sell to just anyone by that logic.

    Wasps bid for Ricoh Arena valued at £30million

    Why? I think it's appalling that what should have been our home could potentially be in the hands of another club from miles away - I thought you did too. It's bad for two local teams (including one I've supported for just shy of forty years), and the Wasps fans. I don't understand why Joy & Tim...

    Wasps bid for Ricoh Arena valued at £30million

    No see the full post, I had a fat finger moment and managed to hit post by mistake. I don't agree with franchising of sports teams.

    Wasps bid for Ricoh Arena valued at £30million

    We had our chance to buy the Higgs share though and blew that. The Higgs can sell to whoever they want now can't they and if it isn't us then that's our tough luck. It would be a bit pardon my language shit if we didn't get the shares and the council were able to do the Wasps deal as a result...

    Wasps bid for Ricoh Arena valued at £30million

    So basically we've screwed ourselves over if the long term plan really was the Ricoh. If the shareholders in ACL can get £30m (or nearest offer) then that's great news for them but not so good for us or the rugby club. If we really wanted to stay at the Ricoh we should never have been talking...

    "Let’s be clear, we absolutely want the football club to stay at the Ricoh"

    I always said that if we kept saying that we'd moved on ACL would do the same.

    "Let’s be clear, we absolutely want the football club to stay at the Ricoh"

    Whilst I can see what you're saying, the fact is doing simultaneous negotiations can't be ideal. It would have been better (assuming it happened) that all the focus and energy had been on getting us back to Coventry, not half on us half on Wasps. I'm not saying that the Higgs aren't free to...

    We need a GK who is confident, can get to a ball and in command of his area, we had Oggy quarterbacking our team for years and he knew how to do all of that. From the sounds of it that's not something we currently have in our number one choice, Mr Allsop.

    "Let’s be clear, we absolutely want the football club to stay at the Ricoh"

    It's a very good article by AT and he's quite right when he says if the wasps negotiations were started before the negotiations with CCFC/Sisu then that's our tough luck, and if after then very naughty. If it's the former then it's not quite the same as us moving to NTFC (as we were saying we...

    Hoping for good things today but it sounds like we're not firing on all cylinders at the moment. Fingers crossed that we get it together before they do. PUSB
