The only thing we had of any value was the prospect of buying at least a 50% stake in the Ricoh. There's no value in the club at all now, who is going to make an offer that will give SISU any ROI? If they can run the club at around break even they aren't going anywhere until they get a return of...

This is one of the most bizarre threads I've ever seen on here, and that's saying something! Posters who are openly welcoming Wasps but will never go to one of our games again if we're a centimetre over the city boundary. To answer the original question if this rumoured site materialises I...

How can you be sure there would be no better deal in the future. According to the council ACL was doing fantastically well and the projections were that it was only going to get better. That means the value of the business would increase. Or are you saying the council were lying and ACL wasn't...

OK so lets assume CCC will never do a deal with SISU. They repeatedly stated ACL was performing well and the future was bright. Why not hold on to it, use the profit generated to offset central government cuts, and when we have better owners look to sell it to them. Could it be that the council...

What about if we accept that it's just for a stadium and nothing else. We're not here discussing price of the land, it's being categorically stated that there is no site in the city that a stadium can be built on, I'm questioning if that is correct. We won't get planning permission or we won't...

Previously we were the primary tenant renting from a company owned by our local council and a local charity who, at least theoretically, should have had an interest in what was best for the club. Now we are owned by a rugby club from London who will have little thought for our club other than...

Surely there must be some sites in Coventry where you can build a football stadium. Doesn't necessarily have to be a site with nothing on now, they could buy a site thats in use and replace what is there if they wanted to. What happened to the old Courtaulds site, has that all be put to use...

Firstly Wasps have stated they have no interest in buying us so unless there is another buyer around it's SISU or nothing. Secondly SISU aren't going to leave without some ROI, at the moment it appears they can run the club in L1 and break even so they can just hang around for years hoping...

I thought I was lazy! Why are you getting a taxi if you live 10 mins walk away?! :p If you have decided to go that's your decision. Personally I will never go as I think it's a disgrace that Wasps are now in Coventry. Saying that I don't understand how you can not see why people think our fans...

For me it's less the formation and more the lack of pressure. At home we should be putting the visitors under pressure from the start. For some reason, no matter what formation we play, we let the other side come at us and we're usually chasing the game from then on.

That's the point! If selling to us would be a bail out as we're losing money how is it not the same thing selling to Wasps who are also losing millions every year?

Has SP said something to piss the refs off, we don't seem to be getting much recently.

That's the problem with using loans, if they do well they will either go back or command a fee.

If it was a business to business transaction then I would totally agree with you but the council has a different remit and I would argue that the fortunes of a club that has been based here since 1883, and will hopefully be here long after the current owners have gone, should have a bearing on...

So selling to us would be a bail out but selling to Wasps is not, what's the difference? On what basis is the ratepayer of Coventry better represented by a rugby side from London than it's own football team? How many people when they hear Wasps mentioned will make a connection to Coventry?

Given how it sounded like we were playing and the fact we were behind I guess we'll take a point but we really should be winning games like this at home.

That's more like it. Wonder if they will go for it or try and hold on for a draw.

Just got in having got stuck in traffic on the way home, was hoping to come in to better news but its just like reading any number of recent matchday threads. The inability of SP to stop these types of performance is worrying. Losing is one thing but its the way we're losing that makes it so...

I blame Wasps, the change of dressing room and all that branding in the tunnel has put the sensitive dears off.

So we're back once again to the same question. Did CCC offer CCFC a 250 year lease for £6m. If yes then fine, if not then it looks a lot like spite to me.
