Also, it looks at first glance like the reason SISU sat on their hands WRT stadium until the last minute was because they had Mills (sir Ken?) in the background and were hoping to get things moving some time before.

Just listened to the Gilbert piece on CWR. Looks like King has been a bit liberal with “couple of weeks” statement. Could be problematic if emails show he cut into the exclusivity period.

Purely hypothetically, does anyone know if it is permitted in the Rugby world for CRFC to absorb / merge with Wasps? Would they get the P Share / any legacy right to play at CBS? Just a question relating to this thread.

Look, Your infatuation with trying to embarrass me is getting boring. Last post, I asked you what value you thought SISU needed to be able to sell and you waffled irrelevant shite about being reliably informed that they’d put X in. Totally missing the point. I let it lie. Not your fault you...

I’ve no idea who you are - don’t recognise your name. Clearly not posted much of interest. That’s ok. I posted originally about Hudlin in Summer 21, around the time we signed Waghorn. You can check back. If you are going to call people names to try to look clever, do try to get your facts...

It is possible to be a mid sized city with a 30000 stadium, to win the league and become an established competitive Prem team. See Leicester for details.

Gilbert on a radio excerpt said that they (SISU / Beardy) weren’t sitting together.

Shit ZZ Top.

It got him frothing. Job done.

I’m agreeing with you. Never said anything different. They’ve not spent £60m but in order to balance their books and maintain investor confidence they’ve had to show paper increases to the value attributed to the club. If they were to walk away and liquidate the (roughly) £60m for loads less...

I like the idea of playing early round cup games away from the CBS. Opening rounds of LC games at Nuneaton, Rugby or Leamington would be far more fun than having an empty CBS. It would be a nice change for the CCFC fans from those towns to go to a local game too. Might make financial sense too...

Actually, fair play for replying. You say the real amount put in is £25m. I believe it’s a bit more and wrapped up to their “debt” will be huge legal fees and court costs, added on to paper “investor returns” (interest and management charges). My point was in order to balance their books...

Pay better attention

No, I suggested we look at him for our u21/23 because we had no strikers in that age bracket over 5ft5. I’d heard of him and some of my workers here in Sheffield were also taking about him. SWFC were interested at the time according to local papers. I thought him worth a look. Low risk low cost...

Come one Brighton Sky Blue: Where’s your value? Post a laughing emoji if you like or are you going in the gobshite bin?

Genuinely hope you are right. Got a nagging feeling that the way the RFU or whatever it is is set up that they will be dragged back up. Leeds sold their P Share for £5m a bit back but because of the revenue the share “guarantees” it might be that the new consortium “buy it back from the...

😂yes - another one for the weirdo bin. The other year suggested we look at 21 y.o. local lad, on a free, for our u23’s. It was a gamble like McCallum. Apparently Man City and Celtic were tracking him. In the end he signed for a higher placed (at the time) Champ club. Being clever with hindsight...

I think Simon Gilbert says he was there but not with them as it were. Searching the guy online suggests he’s 100% batshit weird. But if you’ve got the inside track (related pun) on just how weird…..

SISU would have needed proof of funds, on letterheaded paper. This maniac - no chance. He does look like Doug King with his head turned upside down. Maybe there’s been some confusion.

Alright £200k too low but the point was one season. Don’t get hung up on the one figure, with respect, it’s sad, - it’s the overall point that I’m driving at. All through recent history, Ranson, Fisher et al talked about “sweating maximum value out of the arena”. If Wasps brings more net revenue...
