It’s a bargaining chip. It depends what a sensible deal is. To Wasps it might be something different to what the club feels. SISU have one bargaining chip, they give that up then they’re open to wasps charging what they want on whatever terms they want I’ve said before, agree a deal...

To be fair with his last point, can anyone see joy sapalla being a positive influence at the business conference

Which to be fair I think I happening. SISUs statement seems more conciliatory than usual. Even the trust has changed a little bit of tact by targeting the council and wasps albeit gentally - seem to have an air of we know something you don’t. They’ve met - all sides can say we’ve won once a...

Problem is we’d need at least 50% and wasps aren’t going to sell that for a reasonable amount. A new stadium is the only way forward

Then this is where what deal wasps offer us needs to be made public. If they’ve turned round and said 150k per season, assist maintenance costs - in exchange for football revenue and a share of the naming rights - then this is reasonable, the club can’t fuck off If however it they say 1.2...

But this is why the council made the killer blow. Now the Ricoh has been sold, we’ll never be in control of our own destiny whilst there. People praise Wasps because they needed to move or they’ll die - well same with us. If we want CCFC back where we want to be. We need our own Stadium...

The council want us at the Ricoh and Wasps want us their on their terms. This is why the sale to Wasps was a disasterous move by the council. Despite my thoughts on Wasps, I don’t really blame them. I envy them. But they’re not in the City’s culture yet and therefore easier to pressure

Take SISU away for a second, any new owner needs to look at it seriously. As you’ve said, could the city assist a new stadium? Possibly not - but that’s why the council don’t want us leaving the RICOH - 140 year old football team, or franchise from London. The city is more likely to be behind...

Although I doubt SISU are serious - a new stadium should be the long term plan. We need full control of income and expenditure, The Ricoh set up is a mess.

I don’t understand why a conditional deal at the Ricoh can’t be discussed. Keep the drop the legals but dangle the carrot. Here’s the deal, sign it and when the legals are dropped it commences

Depends what you’re buying though - if it was the 45 year lease then no there was no other buyers - on the other hand if a 250 year extension was up for grabs at a knockdown price I’m sure there would have been more bidders

Aren’t Blackpool in Receivership? They’re due a points deduction

Obviously people on here don’t know the first thing about negotiations You don’t give up your position before you start. If SISU drop the legals now, then wasps can pull our pants down and ask for a stupid amount (£1.2 million per annum say) we can’t afford that. But SISU have dropped their...

Didn’t someone say that we’d agreed a 5 year deal in an earlier thread? Is this possibly SISUs “saving face moment” when the drop the legals

So now it’s over to wasps to say (and id hazard a guess this is how the Westminster meeting will go) “Deal agreed - conditional on legal action being dropped” Brings the ball back into SISUs court

They’ve got to ask the council first

Like I’ve said though, name the sites and we can ask the council why they couldn’t build there?

Reading the whole article in the observer would the sky blues trust look into the legitamacy of this comment @CJ_covblaze “Wasps would only allow the Club to stay if it traded all its access to the Academy match pitch at the Higgs Centre (apparently as part of the developments of Wasps’ new...

To be fair they could put pressure on the council by naming the sites they allegedly had ready to buy. We can see whether it was pie in the sky ideas or whether the council are being dicks. One thing I can think of is if we build a new stadium and Wasps go tits up, they’re scared the Ricoh...

interesting to see how the council have acted against the club with building a new stadium
