Have you got some money you want to invest with them :laugh:

I'm sure creative accounting and agents can find a way round these things. Player sponsorship, image rights etc. Can't be that hard to find a way to get cash to a player without it being part of their salary and impacting on the cap.

There's definitely an argument to be made there. We know without our £1.2m a year it's been hard for ACL. Given we are told the loan terms have changed requiring quicker repayment and therefore bigger repayments there is of course a chance Wasps gamble may fail. Previously ACL have been backed...

People talk about the amount of money from the new TV deal but we all know how that works. Money floods in at the top and all of a sudden the players are asking for silly money to sign or renew contracts. I'm not sure you can say the TV money is going up X so the clubs will be better off by the...

With Crewe playing Colchester anything but a win and there's a very good chance we'll be 1 place above the relegation zone with the team below us having game in hand. 2-0 to us, Burge to have a blinder.

It's true to say we've never been the quickest at getting the shirts out and have often been a few weeks into the season before they turn up but that's a long way from what's happening now. I suspect what happened is next to no stock was ordered as they expected to be at Sixfields using a kit...

I would suggest there is a strong likelihood that in the event of SISU obtaining ownership of the Ricoh the legal action would cease.

How would you suggest a fan base of under 10K raises £50m or more to buy out SISU? That's before you even consider the amount needed to purchase a stake in the Ricoh or build a new stadium.

Reading the article I'm not really clear from Higgs statement how they are claiming to have been in no way involved in the sale of ACL to Wasps. I would have thought SISU were absolutely right to says Higgs were an interested party in the sale given they owned 50% of ACL.

I had the Wasps one the other day, I also regularly seem to get a Muslim dating site!

You're missing my point. For me an inquiry into how CCC have sold ACL and potentially misled the public is separate to what SISU have or haven't done. In an ideal world there would also be an inquiry into SISU but they aren't a publicly accountable body. The point I'm making is, to me at...

That again raises the issue that people will believe Fisher when it suits. In my opinion there is no way Fisher would admit he would have taken that deal after the fact. Would SISU have turned it down, maybe, we don't know. But for me there should have been an open and transparent sale process...

Should SISU decide to walk away I think the outcome will depend on what will give them the best return. So you have to hope someone will come in with an offer for the club that is better than them dismantling things and selling off what few assets we have.

I think a problem with this topic is too many people want a binary choice, either SISU bad or CCC bad. Lots of lip service is paid to 'blame on both sides' but that doesn't really come through in the discussion. Add in that many people seem to want a simple answer, the proverbial 'smoking gun'...

What a waste of time. Wasn't he saying the other day he was aiming to play every game for the rest of the season!?

I'm not sure you can get very far as a fans representative group of any sort when you insist on anonymity. I'm not entirely sure what the point of this is, do they just want to make themselves feel better and take pot shots at Fisher or are they expecting him to read this and decide to walk away...

Is there not a risk Wasps have same the same basic mistake BR made? We started the whole Arena 2000 project on the basis we would be in the top division for years to come. How do things stack up for Wasps if they don't qualify for Europe in future seasons or get relegated from the top flight...

The initial problem is that relations between the SISU and the Trust aren't exactly good. If they were better then the trust might be well placed to at least establish what SISU would be looking for to leave.

It does seem that the response they have given could easily be viewed as spin. Depending on if you're looking at the glass as half empty or half full you could easily say they aren't actually doing anything over and above what would happen with any transaction which, to my mind at least, is a...

Am I understanding your post correctly, to steal SISU's phrase, this is 'normal business practice' and not really a response to calls for an independent enquiry?
