It may not be directly related, but before the deal was struck I believe Simon Gilbert posted a piece in the Telegraph that suggested they hadn't yet secured all funds, but this was prior to the deal being signed, and the probability is it that it was sorted out prior to the deal. Things could...

Brilliant post. The irony isn't lost of some us! ;)

As its quite simple as you stated, I will point out the following, 1) Private Eye tend to check quite heavily that the items they write are factual and correct, as the content in it is often quite damning...and more often about more hard hitting things than badly owned football clubs and badly...

Missed this thread yesterday so apologise if I am duplicating anything already written. I foind the ironyometer exploded when it became clear that all those who lauded Private Eye for writing two damning articles about SISU last year, and praised its investigative journalism, are now accusing...

Are you Ann Lucas's husband, and have I won the quiz? ;)

I dont know Mart, perhaps you ought to ask the good Lord Summerisle who wrote the post :whistle:

On this move Ann Lucas was heard to say "its not all about me, well it is, and I love Coventry particularly in a tax haven where I can stash my earnings as council leader. Now can I stand next to James Haskell again and leer at him like I did last week."

For what its worth on my first post on this thread, I have the following observations. 1) The only person who is predicting 'great' attendances is Dongo 2) The person who seems to have least knowledge on current Rugby attendances is Dongo. 3) People who actually attend Rugby matches, including...

I know. I was only joking...sometimes its the only thing that keeps me sane in my support for the CCFC basket case.

I thought it was because the footballs poor, the squad is poor, our owners are crap, and the stadium has just been sold to a franchise by a local council who dont really seem to care about either their Rugby Team or Football club.

Dont surmise Nick. Rusty Trombone wants the whole quote and he wants it now! ;) Edit - Saved there is now a link to PWKH making the dastardly comment.

I have read it you pompous prick. Have you? Its Bobs take on it, nothing else with tiny bits of info that he may have been aware of the possibility slightly earlier than it hit the press. Apart from that its pretty much his opinion. Typically you cant see further than your Council brown nose.

Why wasn't Bobs article just titled, 'Bobs Opinion of Events Whilst Actually Knowing Fekk All of The Detail'?

Sadly I am stone cold sober. It was written in a moment of desperate clarity, with a liberal use of some Anglo Saxon language! ;)

Can I ask seriously why a team (Wasps) that nearly went out of business, and that have only stayed in business due to the money of their owners, who have taken on huge expense to purchase the Ricoh, would even be remotely interested in a debt ridden, loss making football club?

Whats the best situation then? as its all a complete clusterfuck and i cant see it improving. Owners = Shit On the pitch = Shit Playing Squad = Shit Mountain Of debt = Shit Possibility of New Owners = No Chance/Shit Owing Own Stadium = Shit Revenues For Club = Shit New Stadium = No Chance/Shit...

We could go round in circles, but as a result of the Wasps sale, I fear this could give SISU all the excuse they need to look at options out of the City for our future home. They may not though and we could be just fine...like we continue to be under their stewardship...hold on.....

Of course I understand the reasons. It was a hypothetical question, and just highlights some of the concerns of people at the moment. I didnt expect you to see that

If SISU decide to move us from Coventry once more, because they cant now get the Ricoh, it would have a huge effect on us and I take it those not currently outraged will find it in themselves to turn on their outrage again.

Come on Astute, whichever it is Fisher is still a prick!
