    AEG was just an example. There is no way you can seriously suggest that every single potential buyer worldwide was made aware of ACL being available via a comment Lucas made in a council meeting!

    Is he better than Cobi Jones?

    Academy future?

    And to me thats where local media lets us down. The CT article is not a cut and paste from a press release, it says they have been asking the questions. Why has the question not been asked as to what, if any, impact this will have on the club's academy and if the response was that the academy...

    Coventry Evening Telegraph.

    Are you seriously suggesting that every organisation around the world is monitoring the minutes of CCC meetings on the off chance they happen to mention something about a stadium lease being available? Are you expecting them to do that for every facility around the world? Of course not. Hence if...

    Academy future?

    And that's key. If Higgs, or the new operators, had an issue with the lease has that been communicated to the club along with the potential consequences of a longer lease not being put in place? Don't think its really special treatment. I would expect the same for anyone. If such a change was...

    Frankly I don't care what the 'experts' on here are saying. They don't have access to the full details and don't have to account to taxpayers or deal with multimillion pound sales. My position is straightforward. I don't believe CCC should have been lying to the tax payer regarding the status...

    England cricket

    You've obviously seen England play before!

    Academy future?

    Ultimately that is correct but I don't think it absolves others of any responsibility to act in the correct manner. If this has all been agreed behind the clubs back and the first they knew of it was when it appeared in the CT yesterday then frankly that's not on.

    Academy future?

    Council have already said the new one will not be commercially viable and they will be subsidising it!

    Academy future?

    FFS you can't really be this stupid. I have not said everyone is part of some big conspiracy, I have said given the information we have, along with the rumours we have heard - some from better sources than others, we should be slightly concerned that Wasps have the Higgs in their sights and our...

    Given that Wasps paid less than £6m you would have to say paying £27m would represent poor value.

    Come on, stop playing dumb. You both know perfectly well ACL wasn't marketed for sale. A throwaway sentence in a statement from Lucas is not the same as properly marketing something. If 100% of ACL was available with a 250 year lease that should have been placed on the open market. If for no...

    Finance Director Steve Brookfield

    Is it coincidence the finance director disappears at around the same time its revealed SISU have had to put more money in and the break even point wasn't calculated correctly in the budget?

    Academy future?

    We can if the facilities are going to be in place. We can't if they are going to be removed. At present as far as I am aware we have a rolling deal in place so I would expect anything such as redevelopment at Higgs to have been communicated to the club at the earliest opportunity. If it was a...

    Academy future?

    I would say it depends on the 3rd party in question and if that 3rd party is someone like CCFC then the council very much should be looking to ensure decisions they make don't have a negative impact. Of course. Just hope the club haven't had the rug pulled from under them and have been kept...

    Academy future?

    Well the are certainly going to build them and then build them again unless they are lying about Broad Street being temporary. No one is saying its to get one over on CCFC - you've just made that up yourself. Look at what we know, Wasps have yet to reveal the location of their permanent...

    Swindon Match Thread

    Not at all confident about this one. At best a scrappy 1-0 win.

    We know you prefer Wasps and CCC to benefit rather than CCFC but for most of us the football club is the priority.

    Academy future?

    More to do with the fact that people claim to know for a fact that Wasps have purchased land on the boundary of Higgs. Along with the previous rumours that Wasps would be moving into Higgs causing our academy to be thrown out I think it is a valid concern. And the Broad Street commitment is...

    More from Anderson

    What he's saying is that all options are open and ownership is not an overriding factor. Isn't that what we've all been asking for? Lets look at all the options and decide the best way forward based on the facts available. Not saying he will follow through but I much prefer the conciliatory...
