    Wasps current finances & hope

    That would be fine if I could see that your opinion was based on some kind of facts rather than self-interest. The plan would be that we'd be a football club, kind of like we are now, but probably not paying our rent to Wasps. Ideally that might give us a way back into owning the Ricoh or at...

    Wasps current finances & hope

    The response of someone who has clearly lost the argument but isn't man enough to admit it. The spin that you do here on Wasps behalf is staggering and your concept that CCFC need Wasps is frankly risible. I'm sorry mate, but whatever credibility you might have had when it comes to this (and...

    Why are you still here if you're not interested and you hate it so much? There are plenty of other threads where you could contribute something useful. You've had your say here, and while I'm sorry to hear about your mate we're all grown ups here and capable of making our own choices...

    Wasps current finances & hope

    I'm bothered because I've got some sort of a moral compass. Wasps failing here would be a massive poke in the eye for franchise sport. Also, Wasps moving out is probably our best hope of somehow obtaining the stadium that was built for us. What you're seeing here is a company with rather loose...

    Wasps current finances & hope

    In truth I find it a little odd that there are so few people holding Wasps up to scrutiny. Again, imagine the reaction on the CET and here if our owners got pulled up by the auditors for falsifying statements. It's not 'difficult' to represent a true picture to the auditors and the...

    Bugger, it looks like someone at Wasps found 50p to stick in the meter. :)

    Wasps current finances & hope

    They've obviously run out of money to pay italia, or perhaps they think that he's not giving them good value any more. ;)

    Wasps current finances & hope

    Good analysis, speedie87, like it. I know I'm probably the only person in the world with this opinion, and I know I keep banging on about it, but I'm still a long, long way from convinced about the 'independent' valuation of the Ricoh that Wasps are relying on. If Wasps should fold up...

    Coventry RFC Thread 18/19

    I think this obvious success story this season was Latu Makaafi, bloody awsome imho. Hard to miss too. :) Setu copped for a bad injury right at the start of the season and I don't think has really had a chance since to show what he has got. I think you might be being a little bit hard on...

    Keep at it mate. Sounds like a good few of us are interested; the ones that aren't will hopefully find something more to their liking to comment on.

    This is actually what you said: "How about not coming on here and promoting gambling? Prick.". Where's Johnny Blue's name mentioned there? And what exactly did you mean then, if that wasn't a suggestion to shut down CM's thread? I'd quit now if I was you. It gets a bit embarassing when...

    You're allowed to read, and so am I. And I'm actually getting something out of CM's posts. Who are you to tell him to shut up? If you're going to take and then offer offence at a perceived insult to someone else, then maybe it would pay to read thread more closely to understand the context...

    Definitely up for a bit of this CM. I used to trade the horses on Betfair for a bit of side cash, but it's quite hard work for not much reward. Always interested in anyone who does proper analysis in search of value, though I must confess that I've always seen the dogs as a bit of a dodgy...

    2-year old killed in hit-and-run, McDonald Road

    I have no idea why they wouldn't apply that charge instead, but then I can't recall hearing of anyone ever being charged with it. Given the public outcry perhaps this isn't the last we'll hear of this case...

    Wasps current finances & hope

    Do you mean the £14.4 million that they took on when there was no actual obligation to do so? The one where they persuaded the CET to spike the story so that they could push it through as a done deal. The one where ACL was doing so well that it was quite correct for the council to bail it out...

    Wasps current finances & hope

    That's an absolutely fair comment FP, but Councillors aren't bound to accept what their officers tell them, they are there to lead and challenge. Anyone who had gone through all of the crap that SISU put the city through would have to be an absolute idiot to have done the Wasps deal without...

    2-year old killed in hit-and-run, McDonald Road

    As I understand it, the maximum sentence for Causing Death by Dangerous Driving is 14 years. Pleading guily gets him an automatic third off the sentence. So I think this is pretty much the maximum that the judge could impose. In this case, that's obviously nowhere near sufficient. The Govt...

    Wasps current finances & hope

    Funny how both you and they forgot to mention it at the time, eh. The council and Wasps made a huge deal about their academy moving to the City, with all the jobs and infrastructure benefits to the town etc. And strangely enough it doesn't really seem to be happening. Basically Wasps owners...

    Any Legal Bods / Car Garages

    Selling a car that isn't roadworthy is illegal. Misrepresenting the state of the vehicle also gives you some recourse. The key is, can you prove that either they did it, or that they should have known about it? If so, you might have a case. Did you pay for any part of it, even the deposit...
