    No way Richardson should get a penny unless the bondholders are paid back.

    Things that annoy you

    its always annoyed me that smokers are allowed regular breaks, or at least they have been everywhere I've worked, but if you're sat in front of a screen all day and try and take the HSE recommended 10 minute break from the screen every hour that's not acceptable.

    More importantly the brilliant Staged is returning for series 3. Moving to Britbox so I'll be going for the free trial and burning through them in one sitting.

    Best TV shows or movies you can recommend

    Not watching it for about 25 years but Neighbours is coming back on Amazon's free streaming service. Its an ad supported service, what is interesting is that when it was axed it was because it didn't generate anywhere near enough in ad revenue to cover the costs despite viewing figures being...

    Alternatively the club runs at a loss so if you clear the debt today you're not going to be debt free this time next year. I know we've put up with a lot but at some point something will happen to the club that doesn't involve it being the worst case scenario, lets hope this is that moment.

    Will be interesting to see the council response, this pretty much removes SISU (is the minority stake retained on the basis the new owner will buy them out on promotion as a means of them getting a return?), removes any we're building a new stadium rubbish and promises regeneration in the area...

    Doesn't the 'we' mean Coventry City rather than SISU?

    I log off for a couple of hours and it all goes off. Never heard of the bloke which is a surprise if there's a local businessman with enough cash to buy a football club. Lots of questions of course, not least the timing. How does it effect the situation in court when there is now two groups...

    Didn't it turn out at one point we were paying the rates for 365 days a year despite having use for only a few days then only got a rebate for some of the overpayment?

    One of Wasps directors attended a property development expo and describe Wasps as a property development company that just happened to have a rugby club attached.

    Wasps going into admin & the impact on CCFC

    people are talking about a need to put bids in before a deadline, did that actually happen? I don't remember any reports there was a deadline for bids after which a preferred bidder would be given an exclusivity period. quite tricky to ensure your bid is in by a deadline if you don't know...

    If regeneration of the area is a key council priority what have they actually done to achieve that. After all they are the freeholder and were part owners of ACL for many years. Presumably if it's such a priority there will be evidence of numerous regeneration projects undertaken around the...

    what's the actual process here. if the bondholders object is that it, they can't do the quick sale to Ashley. Trustee can hardly get up and say it's all fine from the bondholders side if they've engaged their own representative to say it isn't. if it doesn't go through is it straight into...

    Wasps going into admin & the impact on CCFC

    Remember in 2011 when Ranson realised his plan was fucked and quit. That idiot Dulieu came in and at the very first press conference announcing the new board he declared the club would be meeting with the council to discuss buying the stadium, a meeting which the council said wouldn't take...

    I do like the idea we can't believe a word that Sepalla, Fisher, Boddy, Byng or anyone else that may or may not be connected to the football club says but anything Duggins or Reeves come out with can't be questioned.

    Come on shmmeee, you're not this naive. Needs something more than 'but SISU' this time round.

    Wasps going into admin & the impact on CCFC

    did they make that clear before or after the possibility of a bailout was leaked to the local media and there was a public outcry? is the story now that Reeves was working up a deal that involved tens of millions in match funding, a deal that was at an advanced enough stage there was a vote by...

    Wasps going into admin & the impact on CCFC

    Is that the meeting the public and media were excluded from? the one that no minutes were taken and oddly not a single person present made any notes? Not sure that's the best example as to this day nobody seems to have a clue what happened at that meeting past the result of the vote.
