I really don’t think that would help or achieve anything to be honest and it would end up getting nasty and/or each side blaming each other. There’s only so much they can say anyway due to the NDA’s.

Your post confuses me. I’ll bullet point otherwise I’ll waffle. 1. The complaint was made in Feb long before discussions were held. During which time it was looking unlikely we’d be at the Ricoh next season due to Wasps’ stance 2. Yes they are justified as it is their right to make the...

I suppose you're right. Whilst in my opinion it’s now the clubs duty to educate its fan base regarding why we have been ‘kicked out’, how feasible is it? Expanding on your point about people solely getting their info from the CT, how likely is it that they will facilitate a PR campaign solely...

It’s a window into the direction that modern sport across the board is heading - politics. Which is such a shame obviously. I don’t expect every CCFC to understand the ins and outs of this latest shitstorm. But those who can’t see that the Wasps statement is both completely contradictory in its...

It’s a tactic to push blame. Whilst SISU are owners of CCFC, in my opinion Wasps have no interest whatsoever of forming a relationship, unless SISU and the club completely abide by their terms of course.

If you look at Les Reid’s brief summary on some of the ridiculous conditions set out by Wasps, it’s more than likely that any further undisclosed heads of terms dictated would’ve been impossible for the club and SISU to agree to. Yet, how Wasps spun their side of the story in their statement is...

There’s no guarantee it’s St. Andrews. I have it under good authority talks broke down between CCFC and BCFC weeks ago. Whether said talks have restarted is another matter but it wasn’t left positively in April when I was told. Hence why the club has repeatedly stated that the Ricoh was the only...

Why would they request indemnity when apparently Wasps and CCC have done nothing wrong? What do they think the EC is going to find in their investigation?

I was told by multiple parties that have close links to Birmingham City that talks between BCFC and CCFC had broken down in April. This was another reason why the Ricoh was the only option for the club. I was also told that the cause of this was the commercial arrangement by one party and the...

I understand your point. Saying Wasps are worried about something is pure speculation. But the fact they’re so adverse to something that neither directly involves them nor is legal action is odd to say the least, even you have to admit that. Why have they moved the goalposts? If they’ve done...

Surely that’s obvious? If the EC believe there’s foul play involved, SISU can’t suddenly withdraw the complaint on the basis of ‘oh actually we’ve changed our minds because it doesn’t suit the commercial interests of one of our portfolio’s’. This is now an investigation into whether CCC has...

No chance am I not supporting the club next season. I'd rather chop my left bollock off than let a franchise and a hedge fund dictate who I should support. I went to Northampton and i'll go to wherever we’re playing next season. If the fans don’t go then we’ve let SISU, CCC, Wasps, win.

I think that's wishful thinking. Whilst I obviously don't agree with it due to the ramifications it causes, but SISU are more than entitled to make the complaint and it's done now, the EC will take a view if it's worth investigating or not - so it's more or less now out of SISU's hands. Plus...

Something tells me the club might leave the pen emoji out when they issue the groundshare announcement

I'm sure both SISU and the club will respond in due course. Due to the NDA's I'm unsure what they will be able to disclose to the public though.

Eastwood using the European Commission complaint as a get out of jail free card. How predictable.

Until we know anything definitive how can we point the finger at SISU when they've simply done something that they're entitled to way back in February? That's not neglecting blame towards SISU, that's just simple facts. It's not like they made the complaint during the negotiations. Instead...

Gilboob is probably Gilguessing

What you're expecting from the 'modern journalist' is completely unrealistic in my opinion. We live in an age where everyone's striving to be first, the news is a classic case in point for this. An argument can therefore be made that Simon Gilbert won't question the information because he'd...

I think they probably did. My guess is they believed they could use the complaint as a scapegoat to exit negotiations if CCFC didn't comply with their demands. If I was Nick Eastwood I'd see it as a get out of jail free card as if CCFC (rightly) played hardball on certain aspects of negotiations...
