Tend to agree with this. When he came in he said he would look at all options. From what we know it looks like he's done that, decided what the club needs and set about trying to get it. You can't really blame him if ACL won't talk to him about a long term deal at the Ricoh and CSF suddenly pull...

Filling the Ricoh is going to be a hell of a job, especially with how early in the summer the first game tends to be these days (and could be a midweek game). Given that Wasps refused to allow a JH memorial game at the Ricoh as part of preseason how about a Cov Legends v Fulham Legends charity...

I'd ask the head of the Council what they are doing to ensure there will still be a football club and academy in existence when SISU eventually leave.

Its a CT mistake isn't it?

Can't really see any comments on this thread that should upset Simon Gilbert or Keith Perry. Would be nice if they could lend their support to securing the future of the football club.

And its lost its context.

Because other potential owners wanted ownership of the stadium, CCC weren't prepared to sell. Therefore we were left with one option, the only group who didn't want stadium ownership.

Its just a rehash of the SCG minutes isn't it?

The way things are looking our options are basically move to the Butts, move the other side of the city boundary or lose pretty much everything. At this point if we saw some concrete plans for an all in one stadium & academy facility not too far over the city boundary I'd be all for it...

Its a bit odd that Wycombe didn't terminate Wasps lease when they kept on about moving back to London don't you think?

Pretty easy really as they are both the same position. The first post you quote was me agreeing that things deteriorated when Anderson came in and tried to get deals done. The second post says the same. He tried to do a deal to stay at the Ricoh long term and got blocked by Wasps. He tried to...

Wouldn't agree with that. Wasps themselves say talks about a long term deal at the Ricoh were progressing until they called a halt to them. And Higgs laid a new pitch and discussions were taking place for the club to assist with the the increased delivery of community programs and a long term...

Seems that way. Before nobody has really pushed to sort things. Anderson appears to have come in decided what needs to be done and tried to get on with it. The problems have occurred because when push came to shove nobody would commit to anything that would benefit the club.

Be interesting to see how that works out. He was moaning about not getting first team football, no chance of him getting near the first team anytime soon at Everton.

Hasn't it been replaced and now they're going to rip it up to put a swimming pool in?

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.
