So lets say Appleton succeeds and now Ltd own the 50% share in ACL. How does that end up with Otium? Can they just buy it off him, wouldn't any money coming into Ltd have to be distributed to creditors?

I think most, if not all, of us want the club to own 50% of the Ricoh (which now seems to be all we can get). The problem people have is the way SISU are going about it makes it seem certain to fail. People aren't complaining about bidding for 50%, it's all the 'we're still building a stadium'...

This is the big concern isn't it. SISU claim they don't posture but unless they follow through with the stadium build they are backing themselves into a corner. At the end of that deal, assuming nothing is happening with the new stadium and Wasps have 100% ownership of ACL, we are in a very weak...

Think about what SISU are actually proposing here. We would own 50% of a 32K capacity PL standard ground. But we would be playing in a flat pack stadium with approx. a third of that capacity outside the city. Even if they build the stadium on the cheap we'd be looking at decades before there...

:claping hands: That's not actually the one he wouldn't play, that ended up never being released as once he said no there was no chance of any play from Radio 1 after we'd spent a small fortune on a 2 day video shoot at Pinewood. The labels idea was to release that one first as it was a bloody...

I'm pretty sure I can guess what response that is going to get! :facepalm:

That's not really how it works is it? If it was we'd still have the likes of Wilson playing for us. Players will go to the top level they can achieve. Do you really think any young footballer who is offered an academy place with one of the relatively close PL teams is turning it down to join us...

Is it not the case that Wasps can veto a sale to SISU? If so it's a waste of time isn't it?

Good stuff, this will be on TV won't it?

Lets compare shall we: Coventry City - 19th in League 1, owe our owners £44.72m, 2013 accounts show £7.16m loss, don't own our ground but own Ryton. Southampton - 2nd in the Premier League, owe their owners £32.4m, 2013 accounts show £7.1m loss (excluding transfer fees £8.7m profit), own...

I read this twice before I realised it was a Worcester fan posting and not one of ours!

http://www.coventrytelegraph.net/news/coventry-news/coventry-telegraph-shortlisted-british-journalism-8048245 Not seen this mentioned yet, seems Simon Gilbert and the CT have been nominated for the Press Gazette British Journalism Awards. CT is nominated for campaign of the year for Bring City...

The most miserable band I've ever worked with were Alien Ant Farm, and that was when they were popular and playing to 5K a night, god knows what they're like now. Bloc Party are on my hit list as well. When they were starting out they pulled out of a gig where they were the support act to a...

It as around April 2012 we stopped paying the rent wasn't it? You could easily argue that ACL starting on a backup plan at any point past that wasn't unreasonable. My feeling is that, whenever and however it started, it is SISU who have let this situation occur. If from day one they had clearly...

Sounds like that could be the case There's reports online from early 2013 saying a move to Brentford was not too far from being agreed. At the end of the day only those involved know and we're not likely to find out.

But at that point were they discussing Wasps renting in addition to us or selling them the ground? Richardson hasn't been in charge at Wasps too long and their fans have been told he's funding it. Were the plans to buy the ground already in place before he came in, was that part of the deal when...

Was that about moving permanently or about using the Ricoh for Euro games that couldn't be staged in Wycombe? Found this on th​e wasps forum when I was having a dig to see when talk of moving first came up: Apparently at that point Richardson didn't own Wasps, it was in the period at which he...

£12,500 I think

Even in these times of TV ruling everything this has to be a new low. Games being moved to fit in with when the BBC want to show Final Score.
