I think there’ll be significant public pressure to give CCFC first refusal and as we’ve seen any owner would need CCFC on side and successful to have any chance of making the arena a success. Time to reunite them, find some investment to push us to the next level.

That’s what I’m saying. They don’t want to hold the lease so will be looking for a buyer if it goes tits up, and who else but Sisu?

So does Clive Eakin.

Id much rather listen to someone like @Esoterica on here or the data scout type people who actually talk about tactics and stuff than a bunch of ex pros spouting cliches. If they knew literally the bare minimum about the tactical side of the game they’d be managers.

What was the level of commitment from Wasps? Was it just a casual comment or a minuted action or a contractual agreement?

Groundsmen - 7: Did their best with little service, but ultimately fell short. Commonwealth Games - 4: All fancy hair and coloured boots, acting the big I am. Needs to get stuck in more. CCFC - 6: Have to take some responsibility, switched off early on and it cost us. But badly let down by...

I suspect if Wasps go, the momentum will be behind CCFC owning it in some fashion. Question is can a deal be done? CCC won’t want to hold onto ACL I reckon. Maybe the play is to pick them up from admin?

What specifically have WU said they’re committed to?

The rules are the same? It’s not like John Motson ever played elite level.

Then say that, don’t say you have some moral objection to franchising. Say Wasps have damaged existing clubs and show how. I’m not an egg chasing fan but Cov rugby seem to be doing OK. What’s been the impact?

Ultimately the Buck does stop there, Genuine question: do you want Blaze gone as well? The reason this all seems a bit faux outrage is because there’s been no complaints about franchised teams in the city until Wasps.

It’s got strong “we’re fucked cut expenses and raise income by any means” vibes.

New ground was only ever viable if it was a significantly different capacity to the Ricoh. Promotion pretty much kills that.

TBF first round of the EFL cup you wouldn’t fill Liberty Way.

Wasps and CWG statements I think.

Not about vetos, but I do think Wasps had a responsibility to get the pitch in order, ideally by replacing it before the games. It’s their responsibility to make sure their various bookings don’t get in each other’s way.

On this, thought this was interesting: https://www.theguardian.com/football/2021/jun/15/silicon-valley-of-turf-uk-perfect-football-pitch

Didn’t someone say the finance option isn’t paid to the club up front?

I assume we have a contract? Your landlord can’t let your house out to someone else as well because he’s skint.

He could have got a fucken ticket to the games at the very least! We all knew the pitch was fucked and most of us have been nowhere near it.
