    Council could vote on Ricoh takeover as early as Tuesday

    Martin Reeves and his team (allegedly) have bought enough support to push it through The panic seems pretty clear it is to do with the JR and the potential enforcement in repaying the loan - otherwise what is the rush?? From a business point of view - SISU should sit tight. If WASPS get the...

    So who owns WASPS?

    It would appear that WASPS started looking at the RICOH over a year ago not just in the past month I understand that ACL have been working well with CCFC since the return. The pressure to sell (to any one but CCFC ) is from the Council and not Higgs

    So who owns WASPS?

    It wasn't so much intransigent former owners - just check who they were and what their "ambitions" were Coundon Road was sold by the then owner to a housing developer - sound familiar? The acquisition of the Butts from Coventry Council was on the back of the surrounding land could be developed...

    Latest SBT statement

    We have only seen one part of the bid offer so far - no sign of the amount involved or even if WASPS have more than a pound to start with What odds the offer just about covers the CCC loan

    Latest SBT statement

    I think for CCC to vote yes on this there would have to be caveats in place that would protect Coventry City FC and hopefully Cov rugby too. I just cannot see them signing off on a deal that would hurt two local clubs and boost a franchise outsider club from close to 100 miles away. They'd...

    Opinion of CET

    There's never been a deal for the Higgs share so "THEY" can't block anything as there's nothing to block. a) There has been and b) THEY blocked the deal with the Receiver

    Opinion of CET

    I think you are ill informed - Higgs can be blocked by the Council - indeed Queen Ann blocked the deal with Receiver. CCC has a golden vote and THEY are blocking any deals with Higgs

    Sky Blue Bullshit Gone Wrong

    Was it David Cross who nearly got sent off in the first 10 minutes of his debut? Studs high into the goal keepers chest and only got a warning from the ref?

    No Future Talks

    I consider watching the team is maintaining the future of the Club. I have yet to be persuaded any of the "anti" prtests are having any influence other than to antagonise one or other party No "My best" would be (a) to be able to have both sides in a quiet room, put their heads together, get...

    No Future Talks

    Ill thought out comments as usual Even if ACL went bust it does not mean SISU will be the sole bidders Even now the Council could sell to anyone but NO ONE values the site at the level they have set. Has anyone seen a list of buyers at the Council House doors

    No Future Talks

    Strangely enough I go to watch a Coventry City team play football I have done this for over 50 years. In that time the Club has had several owners - few have actually benefitted the Club. I have seen far more bad seasons than good but I still go On Boxing Day we play Peterborough at Sixfields...
