That's pretty poor, especially after insisting on you jumping through a number of hoops. The people running the trust just don't seem to get it, do they. I can't see the trust achieving anything positive now - they're never going to be seen as honest arbiters by the owners, and even worse...

On the upside, you've never had a cold since. :)

He might have missed a few chances for sure, but he found those positions through determination and intelligence. Even if he didn't finish himself, he'd pull the defence around and get them worrying; in itself that makes chances for others. I think there's every chance he'll do pretty well...

Blimey mate, you know how to bring a bloke down. I'd pay good money to get to 5' 9". :)

Having been through redundancy more than once, it's horrible for anyone to lose their job. I hope it's not just the senior management who get a decent payoff and an easy switch into a new role, but I suspect that's how it will turn out. Which got me thinking, how much will it take out of the...

You can only land on or leave the Ricoh station on non match days. Unless you've got a Wasps flag. :)

If you're on tape as talking about 'grabbing women by the pussy' then to me you've just admitted that you're a sex offender, or at the very least someone who'd have no problem with doing it. That wasn't a smear.. that was a fact. Indeed there are a lot of facts about Trump that he and his...

So in effect then, they're attempting to extort an indemnity based on the football club's position of weakness. Tie that together with an apparent interest in buying the club and it's hard to see Wasps as being any more trustworthy than SISU. Let's turn the question around: Would you want to...

Just to add to this, there will be no costs as such for Wasps to contend the investigation - it'll be the EC asking the Council to explain their process regarding the sale, and then a decision from the EC as to whether that complied with the law. No lawyers, no court, no legal fees for Wasps...

Wasps are, that's why they're asking for an indemnity.

Very kind, thank you. I'd better stop now before I ruin it! :)

Absolutely, and it's unlikely that SISU raised the complaint to benefit the good people of Coventry. That doesn't alter the point that Wasps have been arguing that the Ricoh deal was absolutely above board, whilst now simultaneously demanding that they are indemnified against the fact that it...

That certainly seems to be what SISU are claiming. As ever, from where we sit as fans it's very hard to see the truth. It's a bit like trying to follow a high ball from the back of the old West End! :) Either way though, indemnifying Wasps against Council malfeasance is none of our business...

Hold my pint... :)

Couldn't agree less, I'm afraid. Doxxing is a hideous practice, which chills free speech. I'm entitled to hold my opinions and express them (within the bounds of the law) without worrying if a potential future employer or client might tie them to me at some point in the future. For example, my...

In essence, someone keen to sell, and not many people looking to buy. The drop in price is potential buyers factoring in the risk of the bond not being repaid at the end of the term, against the interest payment (5-ish percent p.a, iirc), and the chance of the bond price rising at a later date...

It's got to hurt them financially, the club and the related footfall departing. That, and the fact that it draws attention to their other financial woes is likely to make people a bit worried about their ability to repay the bond. Hence the impact on the price, perhaps... Either way I'm going...

I think players will tend to go to the club that's paying the most money first, and then where they think they've got the best chance of getting in the first team next. If all those things are equal, which I doubt they often are, then somewhere, way down the list of concerns will be 'what...

Pretty good summary of it all, as far as I'm concerned. I think the key point in all of this, is that just because you can see fault in the Council and Wasps, doesn't make you pro-SISU. Similarly, having a raging hatred of SISU shouldn't stop you seeing that there are issues beyond just their...

What we need to do is build it over a bank holiday weekend. Then by the time the council know, it's already in place. We can then play on it for the next six years whilst it works its way through the courts. In the meantime we'll rent it out to Cov Utd on the days we're not there, and get...
