That offer was accepted, this wasn't. Why not? Maybe it was no where near as good or maybe it was simply far too late & brinkmanship backfired. Only the negotiating parties know & they can't disclose details.

Do you think that maybe the Wasps offer was in negotiation already when the decision to take that loan on was made by the full council in camera? I don't know but is that plausible.

An undocumented, unaccountable, untracable offer made in the full view of all media outlets. Contents unfathomable, some positive sounding details leaked of course.

But I'll bet they never provided any security to guarantee that the loan would be paid off. That was a big issue in earlier negotiations, they simply could not raise the money but Derek Richardson could & did, then of course got it back with the bond issue.

You're missing the point, the issue was paying off that £14M debt, not the lease length as that was obviously negotiated up to a point where it was effectively forever.

I think SISU believed they could buy the loan for a fraction of its value and that thinking persisted through the sales process, then they were out flanked (again) as it was paid up by Wasps at full value. Well at least the club is not another £20M deeper in debt, which as they can't raise that...

Think you need an intervention with your mate, while you are at it you might broach the subject of taste in music.

Important points 1) ability to spell posters name 2) ability to identify players. Does anything else matter?

From what I've read Both Rose & JOB have discipline issues, as in sticking to the job & not chasing the ball or getting forward when it would be best to hang back a bit to cover gaps. Not red cards & stuff.

What happened to this ex Seattle player Andy Rose?

Don't think so, the board of directors was composed of 2 CCC officers, 2 Higgs Charity representatives and one independent. If anything the Higgs reps. might have resisted the poor price till they came to a point of acceptance, but once CCC decided to sell I don't think they had much choice and...

Don't be silly it is Turkey with Cranberry sauce flavour.

'There were no fees' (for the club to pay).. OK but the careful wording of BR's claims doesn't exclude possible brokerage fees paid by Tesco to Richardson.. I think the £3M he mentions is fees for an independent broker, it is also a figure plucked from thin air, why would you pay 5% on a land...

That'll never happen, oh shit!

I got impression it was Martin Lorensons wife that wasn't so hot on idea of moving over here.

Have you seen CJ's waistline lately :p

Hey Poole that was my take! http://www.coventrytelegraph.net/sport/football/football-news/coventry-city-boss-tony-mowbray-10545652 And this isn't helpful.:thinking about:

Was supposed to be 48hrs to decide, no news so I guess no deal. Hence Rose interest?
