That's not quite what Simon's article says, he writes "charity bosses will offer the liquidator of CCFC Ltd first option". So the only way to get the share would be through CCFC Ltd. I have no idea how this could work. Given Limited hasn't been liquidated then there must be some scope for...

The do a nice line in Cristal in The Hub, or so I've overheard. I think they're talking about Champagne. ;)

Eastwood (Wasps): 'I look forward to the day that Sky Blues fans look at us and say "our home is your home"' Personally speaking, for me that day is never going to happen. This is a franchise team from London, taking over our home. The way I'm feeling now, they can have the f*cking place and...

Q: Where are all the Wasps (Franchise) RFC fans. A: He's in the bog. (Edit: Ah, Moff beat me to it in fairness. But I can offer his original joke a better home and a greater chance of success. I'm sure he'll understand.) ;)

I can't quite put my finger on this - sounds a bit like they've doubled the medication. ;) Sort of passive-aggressive, being nice, but without actually being nice, I think. I don't mean this in a horrible way, I guess it's a 'we are where we are' speech. Have a listen for yourselves...

To be honest, I'd separate out the past from the present. I think what should have happened is that the current deal should have at least have been proposed to the current tenant. At the very least, it wouldn't have hurt to have instigated a discussion. It's entirely possible (reinforced by...

Possibly, although it doesn't seem to have stopped a number of football clubs. You've also got the ability to build on land unsuitable for housing for various reasons, or take over land covenanted for sports use only etc. Was this actually the best deal for Wasps, or the best deal for Wasps'...

Just thinking this naming rights thing through... My suggestion is that they get a few tubs of white paint, and simplify it by selling to either Richard 'Ric' Keys, or the Information Commissioner's Office. That red is a bit of a swine for bleeding through though. Better make it a couple...

No spooning though. OK?

What, the council, taken in by some wide-boy who spins a few lines but in reality cares not a jot about either the club that he owns or the city that he's coming to? Never going to happen. ;)

I didn't think it was until you arrived. An Englishman, and Irishman and a Scot walk into a pub. The barman says, "What, is this some kind of a joke?" Night all. Tell your friends, I'm here all week.

Mate, it's a free country, and I've yet to meet a Kiwi I didn't get on with. But this is brutally unfair to Wasps fans and I'd actually appeal to your better nature not to support it. I think Wasps owners have spun a bit of a line to the council here about the academy, but the rules (at least...

Wasps academy has to stay in London under RFU rules. And can you honestly see Wasps allowing CRFC to move up the leagues and split their fanbase - which will likely be rather small in any case. There are plenty of other top players from Cov btw, I was only thinking of the ones that went to my...

Andy Goode too, I found out tonight. Born in Cov, started at Barker Butts, Leicester, and now at.... Wasps! Don't get me wrong, I'd love to see these guys play in Coventry - but for Coventry RFC not some franchise team we've brought in at someone else's expense. The point I was making was...

Me too. I'm so chuffed that we've dragged a club 70 miles away from their supporters that I can hardly wait to go and support them. Coventry RFC are delighted too, because having Wasps on their doorstep will obviously help them push forward with their ultimate aim of getting to the top level...

I think they're running out of people to sue. Saying that, I hope Wasps select 'legal cover' as well as 'accidental damage' when they come to insure the stadium. ;)

Basically it didn't sound like there was any chance of SISU trying to make a matching offer.

I don't think the chap on CWR is particularly well clued up on this - I'd go with the CET line, it's 100% and CCC will buy and sell the Higgs share to Wasps back-to-back.

Well argued as ever, Chief. As things stand, what we do know is that this deal spikes the chance of CCFC under SISU ever getting access to the Ricoh's revenue streams. Four possibilities that I can see: 1) SISU sell to Wasps. This is what I think the councillors have been told will probably...

Exactly. Wasps can't move lock, stock and barrel to Coventry because they need to pretend to stay in London to fulfil RFU criteria. I sense there has been some blagging when the Wasps owners met the Labour group yesterday. A few thousand fans every other Sunday for a few months of the year is...
