To be fair he did just nearly get his head kicked off!

They knew this was ongoing when they made the purchase. You would expect that they have protected themselves from any potential issues.

Pompey sort of were. Their supporters trust own a large percentage but not a majority. To get the deal done the local council had to loan them millions to buy the stadium. AFC Wimbledon spring to mind.

If I was concerned the rent wouldn't be paid I would put something in place such as guarantors. If my tenant was taking legal action against a third party not related to me I could't care less.

I'll have some of whatever you've been drinking. We're about to get kicked out of the academy and our landlords are refusing to speak to us about extending our rental deal.

No chance. This will just make them think they have more chance of a win in JR2. Their thinking will be if its a no hope case why so much pressure all of a sudden to drop it.

Good stuff. Seem to be going pretty quickly at the moment.

Purely my opinion but at some point SISU will walk. Most probable way they will do that is to place us into administration. On the bright side we don't have much in the way of assets for any asset stripping. Problem is who will bid to take us out of admin? You're talking about a club that will...

So now we have both CCC and Wasps basically trying to blackmail the club into dropping legal action. Makes you wonder if the JR2 case isn't stronger than we all think.

Probably help if the actually told the club what was on offer

Be surprised if he managed to keep a straight face coming out with that. So there we have it. By his own admission talks were going well and then Wasps pulled the plug. Can't get much clearer than that.

The next line was probably "we picked Higgs as it would do the most damage to the football club".

AHC wanted £12K for repairs to maintenance equipment saying it was CCFCs responsibility. CCFC said it was there responsibility to do the maintenance but AHC had to supply the equipment. How we got into all these contracts where we paid rent but also had to maintain facilities for someone else...

Think we're getting a bit sidetracked here. We put in £500K a year and get the same in a grant. I suspect the amount it generates far outweighs the amount it costs. Its one of the few bright spots for the club and something we should desperately be looking to preserve.

Just about sums up the way the club is treated.

Would say this pretty much sums him up. Although I think he got an unfair amount of stick which probably knocked his confidence a bit. Murphy for me would be closer to getting in the Norwich side that Maddison.

Its not a bad idea. Just had a look on there and they are either oblivious to the damage Wasps are doing or don't care. They seem to think they are being perfectly reasonable or even helping us and CRFC. Without trying to start some sort of forum wars or taking shots at them it would be good...

Armstrong is in the CT saying they picked Higgs out of the 17 sites as its in the city centre and close to the Ricoh. Can someone get him a map of Coventry.

What details do you think we need? It is clear that the existing indoor pitch will be lost. We have an offer to use the Wasps facility when they aren't using it. That does not meet the requirements for a Cat 2 academy. Breed was asked by the CT if the academy could remain and didn't answer the...

Nobody is saying that. Just saying don't swallow the PR line that we can use it when Wasps aren't there and it will all be fine. That won't meet the academy requirements.
