The idea of Byng getting big money off the Chinese to put into the club / Ricoh is not totally unbelievable. It's the sort of thing that happens to smooth over relations for whatever business is they want to do. However it's hard to get excited about a potential takeover from someone who...

I see, that's why nobody ever referred to Hoffman's offer as only being for £1 is it? If we're adding future outgoings to the cost of purchasing ACL why are we not deducting future income?

Surely if you're going to take into account the £14m loan when discussing the purchase price you also have to factor in any money guaranteed to ACL through existing contracts. Otherwise you're taking a very one sided point of view.

The reality is Bournemouth is now a step up whatever way you look at it. Playing at a higher level (and quite possibly PL next season), higher wages, bigger crowds. On no level is Coventry a bigger club than Bournemouth at present. Of course there is an arguement that given both teams history...

Well it looks like at least one of Madine and Tudguy is going, if not both. Obviously hope this chap does well but the track record on signings isn't great. All we need now is some players that can actually create chances for all these forwards we have and we'll be in business!

That would be great if we were actually building a team but we're not, it's pretty much a complete new squad every year. If we could see that we had, for example, 4 or 5 good players under multi-year contract and were just looking to add to that year on year to improve then what Waggott says...

We can go into the bottom 4 if everyone else wins their games in hand.

I suppose the best case scenario for us would be a judge to order that the loan be called in. Wasps would then have to find alternative financing, if they have difficulty obtaining that it may open up an opportunity to purchase at least a stake in ACL. Of course that requires a lot of things to...

Thought you were going to tell him to stay at home :)

If you're staying over best bet after the game is head into the casino for an hour or two. That way you won't be paying for a taxi to sit in a traffic jam.

That was members of the SCG I think, which does have a couple of the trust on there but I don't think it was them.

Wasn't King offered 2 years and when the contract turned up it was 1 year or something like that?

I can't understand why they didn't challenge that. Even if, as some thing, Garlick is somehow connected with SISU there were others there such as representatives of the trust who actually made the FOI requests. Why go to that trouble and then, when sat in a meeting with Fisher, just let him...

Pretty simple really, the council are a publically accountable body. There is now a doubt regarding some of their statements of fact and crucially those 'facts' may have been used to support both the granting of the loan to ACL and subsequently the sale to Wasps. As a publically accountable body...

Listen to the interview on Shane O'Connor's show. She stated that it wasn't her fault misleading information had been used, it was the fault of the council officers who supplied the information. Let's leave it at that as we don't need another 50 pages of denial.

Well this thread may get to 50 pages yet as MMM seems determined to mount another defence of CCC!

There's a very simple explanation for that isn't there? In the 50+ page thread you had several people vehemently defending the council even after Lucas had been on the radio admitting they had been less than truthful. Compare that to this thread, where are all the 'pro-SISU' people you claim are...

I think Fisher said Brandon was too small so only considered for a training ground. Using the same logic could Ryton have been just for a stadium but close enough to keep the existing training ground?

Be interesting to know who the others were. Does he mean no brainer as in we hadn't got a keeper so he'd be first choice or no brainer as in we're such a fantastic club he couldn't wait to come here?

Being realistic at an absolute minimum we need all the revenues the club generates, i.e.: all matchday F&B, advertising, parking etc as well as our share of naming rights. Is there anything to indicate Wasps would even consider letting us have them? The most beneficial thing the trust could do...
