It’s a fair assumption to say that even if he did have a copy of the email prior to SISU releasing it, he may have decided it would be best not to submit something that may possibly form part of the evidence bundle of an ongoing court case. Certainly done more proper journalism than the gumps...

Blimey.

I thought the same but the guys at work got it for me as a birthday present. Haven’t got round to reading it yet, mind.

Get the same reaction in Birmingham when I’m at work. Whenever I talk about our situation and Wasps they can’t believe Wasps are up here.

Ah, sorry I was thinking along the lines of the balance sheet liability. Yes the cash flow liability would cause further impact.

Who’s the 3rd? Merely interested as to my mind they have Hylton and Collins.

Only guess is he has another interested party waiting in the wings. Otherwise, this makes no sense at all.

Enormous based on current revenues, yes maybe. Enormous compared to the £17.5m liability that would come with 50% ownership of ACL? Absolutely not.

Magic.

Says the fucking moron who claimed to support the UDA because they were on the ‘right side’ of terrorist atrocities in Northern Ireland. How decent of you.

Ok so they charge whatever rent they want, they’ve still got a struggling L1 club on their investment book who may at a future time come to be unable to pay said rent and they’re left with a leveraged football ground that will have few if any takers (until someone says Wasps). Or the alternative...

You say you know they won’t drop the legal action, but actively discourage the council in partaking in something that SISU have made clear would result in the dropping of the legal action. Honestly, you’ve lost me.

A well-reasoned riposte there.

And now you’ve stated that, I’m sure SISU will just drop them. You need to be pragmatic about the situation. Will SISU decide tomorrow that the legal route isn’t the best to take? No. Have they made it clear (in the public eye at least) what their expectations are in order for them to drop the...

So SISU drop the legals, opening up avenues of conversation with both Wasps and CCC. Wasps say “£1m a year please” and CCC decide they don’t want to sell the land. And then what’s the point. This is why CD is suggesting the council should commit to talks. All of a sudden that’s one condition of...

What did you use to do that?

And if you are then unable to buy the land from the vendor you’ve wasted thousands upon thousands of pounds consulting architects etc. for nothing.

One thing - people have said that they wouldn’t be surprised if one of Richardson’s companies held a significant number of the retail bonds available. My knowledge on the trading markets is (very) limited, but just thinking out loud, would that not sail very close to an insider trading angle...

Could always buy it when Wasps go bust/fuck off for the reserves to play in.

“Hello, is that Martin at Weber Shandwick? Could do with your help again, think we’ve made a bit of a mess”
