    Les Reid: Ray Ranson & ex-CCFC people may be in on a club/Ricoh takeover plot

    Oh good Les Reid is back, just what we need someone else added to the mix with their own agenda trying to stir things up.

    Joy Seppala: “We will not interfere with any deal between Wasps and ACL re: Ricoh"

    This is all very odd. I was hoping Rob was going to come back from his meeting with SISU and say they would be putting a bid in but this reads more like a SISU press release than one for a fans protest group. So basically SISU are going to stick to the line that they are building there own...

    Do you have family in Coventry? If so you could get them to send something in.

    Steven Pressley - Who do you think you are?

    6 points from the next 2 games, which is very achievable, and we'll be back on for promotion with SP being the greatest manager we've ever had!

    Wasps bid for Ricoh Arena valued at £30million

    I know the CET polls aren't the most scientific things but have you all been hitting the wrong button? It's currently 86% in favour of Wasps moving to Cov.

    From a usually reliable source

    That's all well and good Rob but when the people who ultimately make the decision on where we play keep saying we are not staying at the Ricoh and will leave in 4 years tops aren't they a major cause of the mess we're in now? I'm holding out hope that before it's too late we will see a clear...

    Wasps bid for Ricoh Arena valued at £30million

    If I was in there position I would have a simple statement up on the website, without any digs at any other party, and just state the club wishes to remain at the Ricoh permanently and will be submitting a bid for part and / or full ownership of ACL. Than actually submit a bid and a second...

    Wasps bid for Ricoh Arena valued at £30million

    So going off your post time was he on around 9:20? Will listen on catch up. Any mention of them coming up for the protest and what sort of numbers they might bring?

    Pressley charged with misconduct

    It would be great if SP turns up to the hearing with loads of DVDs of Garner diving!

    Wasps bid for Ricoh Arena valued at £30million

    We don't even know for a fact Wasps would move there, it could be they see it as a good investment and will use it only for Euro games. We simply don't know. Similarly we don't know what, if any, deal would be offered to us if Wasps were to take ownership, for all we know we could get a much...

    Wasps bid for Ricoh Arena valued at £30million

    Wasps would be taking over ACL, apart from 10% the council would retain, so the current contract we have will still be valid. The issue comes at the end of that contract.I f, as Fisher keeps saying, we are building our own stadium then there will be no change to the current plan. If anything...

    Letter to Councillors

    Going to try and put my letter in by proxy as I don't live locally. Have to rely on my Dad's ability of sending an email to the right person so it's 50/50 if it will reach the council at all!

    Sisu trying to fuel a Bentley on Robin Reliant money

    From the sounds of this a 90% stake in ACL could be purchased for significantly less than building a new stadium.

    Wasps bid for Ricoh Arena valued at £30million

    If you been speaking with the club / SISU I'm really hoping your statement will be informing us that they will also be submitting a bid. Hopefully a few hundred of them will turn up and protest on Tuesday, if a decent number of our fans show up with a few hundred from Wasps and a few hundred...

    Wasps bid for Ricoh Arena valued at £30million

    Wasn't it suggested at one point that the option to buy the Higgs share didn't technically disappear until the old co is liquidated which I don't think has happened yet has it? Suspect it is something that would end up in another court case which I'm sure CCC are keen to avoid.

    Wasps bid for Ricoh Arena valued at £30million

    On the bright side this gives SISU all the information they need to get their own offer on the table tomorrow!

    SCG/ Garlick Stadium group to merge?

    Wasn't there a bust up between the trust and non trust members on the SCG. Seem to recall something like that in the minutes of one of the meetings.

    Council could vote on Ricoh takeover as early as Tuesday

    There may have been a restricted use covenant, that's not uncommon for football grounds. Something along the lines of the land can only be used for football. That would have needed to be removed prior to any sale as the land would be practically worthless with it in place however I would think...

    Council could vote on Ricoh takeover as early as Tuesday

    They have always said they will consider any serious offer, never have I heard it said that excludes CCFC or for that matter SISU. They don't need to put a valuation on it for SISU to bid. The simple fact is despite all their bluster SISU have never tabled an offer to buy either the freehold or...

    Council could vote on Ricoh takeover as early as Tuesday

    What would happen if any sale involved paying off the loan? The court case could still proceed but as most people seem to think the most severe punishment would be loan repayment wouldn't it then be pretty pointless.
