I'm not exactly a fan of the Mail, but that's a lot closer to the truth than anything the local media have said, imho.

And the fact remains that deal was done in secret, with elected officers literally lying about it, and no one other than Wasps was ever offered the same deal as they were. We've been down this road a few times, so I'm not going there again either, but to paint the council as not a big part of...

I know exactly how you feel, but I also can't believe that SISU want to be here forever. I think that there's a price they'd sell at, I just don't know what it is. I do wonder if the best way of prising the club out of SISU's hands is for an offer to include a bonus if the club does get...

More people follow football than rugby, that's a fact. Beyond that there's not much difference. You and SBT don't care for rugby, I get that. Beyond that it's all excuses and justification. Pompous rubbish indeed.

They absolutely weren't all saying that. Why do people think that rugby and football fans are so different? Go to Cov rugby, as an example, and what you'll find are people who have followed the club for years, generations even. They have the same (often unfounded) likes and dislikes of certain...

I'm running backwards until we win the FA cup. 😁

Speak for yourself mate, of course it's hypocrisy if you're don't think your club should be moved but couldn't care less about someone else's. It deserves calling out as such. You might not have heard about it as much here if Wasps went elsewhere obviously, because at the end of the day this is...

As long as you don't care about a team you support being moved, like say Coventry City to Northampton, that's fine. Otherwise you're just being completely hypocritical. It's an attitude that completely sucks and shows no understanding or sympathy for anyone else. Presumably you'd be outraged...

Go back and read some of the posts from London based Wasps fans who were absolutely gutted. If a rugby fan said it didn't matter about Cov playing in Birmingham or Northampton, or even moving to London, how would you feel? Of course it matters to them, which is why it was never, ever right for...

Far from an expert on the admin process but wasn't the reason that Otium were the preferred bidder when Sisu put the club into admin because effectively the debt was owed to Sisu. So in theory Otium's offer to repay nearly all the debt (by just moving money around) represented the best offer for...

Absolutely. Who the fuck would want a business at the CBS that brings in a substantial footfall to the rest of the tenants, and gets nationwide coverage. And Wasps were doing us a favour? I know where I think the delusion lies here.

There are two things at the CBS that could make money for a potential investor: The arena, if it's run properly. Coventry City, if they could get to the Premiership. No hard nosed investor would want to hang onto Wasps, or indeed any other rugby club, unless they had some kind of affection...

Yep. And to do it properly, Wasps ought to state in public that they've no intention of selling it because they want to "build trust", and that they care deeply about the future of CCFC. That would be the council way.

I'd call it honourable. Wasps should not be here, it's that simple, and there's no way that a club belonging to Coventry should be tied in with them. Any investor who doesn't get how strong that feeling is amongst a large section of City fans is in for a surprise when he tries to bring the...

There's literally nothing to go to court about. Our sublease remains in effect with whoever takes on the head lease. It stays on existing terms, so who gets sued here and for what? I'm not for a moment sticking up for SISU, but we've had commercial relationships with a number of other parties...

I've always liked Brian Moore, even more so now... https://www.coventrytelegraph.net/sport/rugby/no-special-case-wasps-avoiding-25225039

Stop being so bloody precious. Who are you to tell someone whether or not they should clap the team off? If you want to storm off in a sulk when we lose, then feel free to do so. You asked why he was clapping, he told you; if you don't like the answer that's on you mate. I clapped them off...

Even then. That claimed attendance would mean that one in three seats were occupied. Watching on TV, behind one goal was completely empty. The North Stand behind the other goal looked about 10% full, and the East Stand, which was where most were sitting had huge empty spaces everywhere except...

In truth, I'm not sure about that. The bondholders have a charge on the lease, with ACL and Wasps Holdings as guarantors. Administration won't make that go away; I'm genuinely not sure how they wriggle off the hook without the potential investors paying bondholders off or negotiating some kind...

It sounds like madness, but Wasps have been heavily pushing the "it's not our fault" line regarding potential admin. Obviously that's rubbish, their accounts were a disaster way before covid (edit). And today, with a rallying cry, a boatload of free tickets, and a local derby, it's still...
