The independent experts wheeled out by the local media and have all stated that the club needs full revenue access to be sustainable above its current level. Wasps aren't going to hand over all stadium revenues to us so it follows that if we want to challenge at a higher level a new stadium is...

Even Lucas has given up trying to pretend it didn't happen! Source: http://www.coventrytelegraph.net/news/coventry-news/council-admits-ricoh-arena-not-8451492

So in your world its fine for CCC to lie to the electorate but not for SISU to lie to a dwindling customer base?

No, nobody is suggesting anything is ignored. Exactly, the facts up to that time. Since then we have more than one occasion where we know CCC have not been truthful. This then leads to doubt about other statements they have made, or in many cases not made due to confidentiality.

It will be a cock up if he doesn't sign but there's no need to panic at the moment. We seem to be going through exactly the same discussions we did when it took forever to confirm him as manager in the first place.

What has the JR got to do with the sale of ACL to Wasps?

That is not what I am saying at all. My preference would be for the club to be honest and transparent but, given the type of owners we have, it would be naïve to say the least, to expect that to be the case. Are you really going to argue that when Fisher bangs on about a new stadium and...

There's a difference between Fisher shooting off some comment to the CT and what you are suggesting. Of course if SISU have done anything illegal I would expect them to be punished but you're actually proving my point. SISU have only to not break the law, they have no responsibility to anyone...

SISU are a private hedge fund. By definition they are only interested in maximising their return and are not answerable to anyone other than their investors. CCC are a publically accountable body, they should not be dishonest with the electorate. It's really a very simple concept. And that's...

As has been explained many times by the likes of OSB and others Wasps bid was also conditional, any bid would be. It is likely the conditions were that SISU had access to the same information that Wasps had been granted access to so that they could undertake due diligence.

They also put in a bid for the Higgs half which would seem to suggest they would have purchased if offered the same deal as Wasps.

Definitely remember the story, no idea if there was any truth in it.

Premier Sports have just announced they are showing all 26 games. You can get a subscription just to cover the period of the tournament for £9.99.

If it wasn't so serious it would be comical. You can barely buy a ream of paper in the public sector without getting comparative quotes to ensure you're getting the best value for the taxpayer yet you can sell off a stadium in secret on the cheap and nobody is in the slightest bit concerned.

On the one hand it is good news that the council, and therefore the local taxpayer, is no longer exposed to risk. However there is also the issue that CCC used the income from interest over the term of the loan as justification for making the loan. There should be questions asked as to why there...

How much are we talking about winning? On the basis that I'd keep enough for myself I'd look into building a new stadium for the club. Would look to put some sort of ownership in place so it belonged to the fans rather than the owners of the club.

Does anyone know anything about this? Can't find much info online other than they've been deducted 6 points, had the timeframe for appealing reduced to the point that an appeal is virtually impossible and as a result are out of the play offs.

Because its not a natural phrase. If someone asked if there had ever been a request to review the rent its a yes or no question. The repeated use of an unnatural phrase which is ambiguous implies to me that something is being hidden.

Look at the top right of your screen, there's a search bar. Use it as the issue of compensation and the validity of a SISU claim should there be a ruling in their favour has been discussed in detail more than once.

A ruling in favour of SISU would almost certainly lead to a claim for compensation.
