Hutch - honourable mentions little Danny Thomas, Gynn, Cyrille , Terry Gibson, Trevor Peake.

a private equity firm that now now owns 20% of rugby-related income in a league where only 1 club pre-covid could make a small profit. Most clubs have used up the money from this private equity investment already and have still had to dramatically reduce the salary cap. If RFU can't continue...

probably the one where Pleat whinges about us being a small town club and were more up for it than Spurs because they had won so many trophies

should plead guilty then Trump will pardon him when he leaves office in January -cynical but true.

Depends whether Fisher was quoting before lease extension. Plus Wasps had to take on this large debt to complete the deal and finance their business and obviously they've struggled to make the payments on that debt at times -even before lockdowns etc. When all is said and done SISU would have...

So that KPMG valuation was before the sale and subsequent lease extension? Assumes CCFC rent plus associated matchday income would have been worth around 500k per year?

technically an FOI can be made to European Commission but how quickly they'd respond who knows. Regulation (EC) No 1049/2001 of 30 May 2001

They were supposedly so close to an acceptable commercial deal for both sides last year. Having spoken to both sides did it really collapse over just this single issue of an "indemnity"? One side says there was one, the other not , so is one side not being honest?

[ surely be very difficult politically for the council not to "collect" the extra money (if that is the verdict ) whilst having to cut services etc for financial reasons

checking back looks like we'd been back a month before it went to the council vote. we'd returned with a 2 year deal and an option for another 2 years agreed nearly 2 months before council vote. Obviously Reeves has a value in mind as to what value CCFC brings to the Ricoh hence the difference...

But when the Council agreed to sell we had returned to the Ricoh if memory serves me right?

Anywhere in Coventry or just the Ricoh? "Which party is going to break the deadlock and say I’m gonna make a move towards a different future? I know who my money is on " Who and why?

Does handing out large numbers of free tickets not count as threatening CRFC?

Can't say CCC weren't aware from the beginning that sale of Ricoh wouldn't impact CCFC financially. They obviously knew that it would - maybe they thought it would finally drive SISU out and everyone would be grateful and CCFC would sit quietly as a tenant in a stadium built for them but under...

Heading for another embarrassing result. Batting just not there - 3 & 4 failing again

Wasps response Derek didn't call Martin - but not that they weren't in contact on those days. Like their indemnity statement - wordplays :)

couple of dreamers on there. Doubt they even read the prospectus. Sure they're still waiting for their Nigerian prince to send them their money now he's got access to his funds

wasn't great in the previous series or at Old Trafford

But it's 2 different sports and TV contracts reflect that. It's not like league fans are flocking to Union games and vice versa during the respective close seasons. The point with all this is that Rugby doesn't have the commercial appeal. Super League kept alive by Sky Money even with a salary...

Can see it going same way as cricket. Big demand/interest in national team. Dwindling support for the club game - hence 20/20, the Hundred etc. It's just not a game with even nationwide appeal. 13 properly professional clubs yet av. attendances around 11k and a TV audience less than 200k for...
