    So how would this supposed Sisu deal work then? And why couldn’t Ashley do it if Sisu are being nobs about selling up?

    Most important signing in Robins

    Vik, Cal and Sheaf for me. Nothing better than a loan who doesn’t leave.

    How would they get 51% of the club without taking on its debts? They’d need to own the company that has the golden share wouldn’t they? I’ve long given up trying to follow the ownership structures and charges so apologies if this is a stupid question.

    I refer you to my previous comment. He’s misrepresented it either to the board or to the bidder, or he’s a moron. The fact that it never went anywhere will likely save him though. Was the £30m confirmed or has someone taken “match funding” and £60m bid and put two and two together?

    Completely. And for the third or fourth time in this thread: if Reeves thought that would fly he’s a fucking idiot.

    Well yes it was a Hottiger proposal that they wrote. It was a three page outline proposal, if Wasps weren’t interested why would you spend the time working up a full proposal?

    The line is that the process goes: 1) informal convo with bidder and Reeves 2) bidder puts outline proposal to wasps 3) bidder works up proper proposal 4) council consider proposal So he’s saying it fell at 2 and the council get involved at 4. I heard CWR this morning claiming the only thing...

    Could be wrong but I’m reading it as: Group B winners -> Match 4 Group B runners up -> Match 1 QF at 3pm on the 10th -> Winners of matches 7&8

    Completely agree. He seems to be claiming the details weren’t fully worked out in terms of council financial input, and as I say either way has caused a massive PR headache for the council. But I think he’s got enough plausible deniability to avoid being sacked.

    Same. Do you think it’s because you’re “in” the season and so it feels like an annoyance and distraction rather than something to tide you over the football-less summer?

    Promotion every time. Besides everyone knows:

    Wasps going into admin & the impact on CCFC

    I think the council have different priorities and I think 2014 was a total clusterfuck for a variety of reasons. But I don’t think it’s the same council now and politically the topic is a lot less heated than when Sisu were simultaneously threatening to wind up the club. The council have been...

    Hamer and Sheaf

    Yeah, if Robins was given the funds I’d back him to find those players. Though maybe not in the Jan window, so I do think a Jan sale might scupper us. But generally if we sold Vik for an eight figure sum and gave most of it to Robins I’d back him to fill out the squad. I really don’t think we’ll...

    Hamer and Sheaf

    I don’t think wel keep everyone together in Jan, but we’re really only a RCB, RWB, GK away from a very very good side at this level. The rest must be up there as the best in their position in the division.

    This. How England set up pisses me off. We have players used to playing high energy attacking pressing football in the best league in the world. Use it. Could be wrong but I don’t think England can be playing in that game can they?

    I think we’re not that appealing because we have an owner who doesn’t want to sell.

    Wasps going into admin & the impact on CCFC

    I honestly think even an interview in the CET saying they want it would have brought a lot of public pressure to bear on the council. As it is they can say “the club are welcome to bid” until the cows come home. I think throughout this Joy has been really badly advised. Or of course she’s...
