I agree with stopping the legal action I disagree with using the football club to try and blackmail SISU into dropping legal action.

Which is what leads me to believe CCC are behind this, he says discussions were going well and its none of his business. Then after the latest appeal they stop talks saying it is a distraction.

I suspect Wasps did this on CCC request. Seems very vague and he does say it is none of his business if the club want to take legal action again the council.

I think some facilities at the Higgs were broken/not working and there was a dispute over who was responsible to cover the cost of repairs or something along this lines.

Well said, club are being fucked over again. If it ain't SISU screwing us its someone else.

Exactly what I said yesterday, even if Wasps offer does meat cat 2 facilities requirement. I'd question whether simply there is enough space for two massive sports academy to both be there.

Not sure we have a way forward, at the moment id be amazed if we have a club in the football league in 15 years time.

The club will lose a 500k grant if they lose cat 2 status. So you are asking the club to provide the same service with 500k less funds. Other negatives we will find it harder to attract the best young players as they will choose other cat 2/1 clubs. We get less compensation for any youth...

Possibly I'm not sure what protests aimed at Wasps will help achieve though with regards to the academy. Keep them focused on the Higgs centre and coventry sporting foundation I would say. What other events or venues do the csf work with? Could maybe target some of them.

I've said my piece in that I think its pointless so I'll try with something more constructive. Firstly I'd suggest a boycott of the Coventry telegraph Secondly get the basics set up, a website where people can express there views with a link to a petition, a good idea to get former players...

We could triple what ever wasps are offering and it wouldn't happen, its a done deal.

Step 1. Leak a false info that its between Bowyer and Mowbray Step 2. Watch Mowbray and Bowyer odds tumble as Stubbs lenghtens Step 3. Big bet on Stubbs Step 4. ££££ profit?

Theres always the possibility they are lying, but if Wasps latest statement is true about offering to rent some of there new facilities to ccfc then he does look a bit silly now.

I thought it was going to be Bowyer or Mowbray?

The problem is the indoor area where the new pool is supposed to be built. If the pool wasn't happening I think the facilities would be there to accommodate both. I'm not sure how big the Higgs is/will, so even if the facilities were available is it even logistically possible that two massive...

Doubtful, even if we could manage to do it, it would likely get violent.

http://www.coventrytelegraph.net/news/coventry-news/ccfc-academy-crisis-alan-higgs-11415227 Could the planned 50-metre swimming pool for the Higgs be built and the existing indoor pitch retained? “Probably not.” Its a separate application from the Wasps training centre.

Its a done deal, if you ever needed proof then here it is.

Wasps have now offered to rent us usage of there planned indoor kicking area for 3 hours a night at a 'generous' rate http://www.coventrytelegraph.net/news/coventry-news/wasps-offer-help-coventry-city-11416081 And he's also admitted the plan was to kick ccfc out for Wasps to take over on the...

Paul Breed, chief executive of Coventry Sports Foundation which runs the Alan Higgs Centre, said: “We are delighted to be the leading potential site for Wasps’ new training base and will work with them in any way we can to help make this happen. Could you dream of him saying this about the...
