Is that true? Corbyn is 70's and 80's labour and we all had enough of that. If your genuine Labour candidates are the same "old school" people, then Labour has really had it. What happened to Triumph in Meriden when the labour government got involved? That was an example of Tony Benn's industry...

Anyway.... I am looking forward to England Wales. I am not a Rugby fan, but watch the occasional international. Being English, I want England to win. A lot more interest in Rugby over here in Germany than usual. Probably die off quickly as the Germans haven't invented it yet.

Equal. Let's see what happens if, as you think, Wasps are being too tough for them. With no stadium lined up and a bad deal as the only option at the Ricoh, then SISU's community loyalty will be tested as Wasps' was in Wycombe. Remember they had their stadium plans at Wycombe thwarted by the...

Alright where I am. The pegida people in the East were acting up before the latest crisis. They are the reason why people welcomed the refugees - to show that pegida doesn't represent all Germans. A lot of refugees here, in Kiel, are on the way to Sweden and Norway where they have relations. The...

Agree, apart from TF. The contract at the Ricoh is dependent on whether or not TF has a stadium build in the next few years lined up. If he has one, then we need a short term extension and if not we need up to 10 years security of tenure at the Ricoh. In 10 years time the situation will be...

I don't. I am hoping they are in discussions or, if not, that they start sooner rather than later. I would. If Wasps are don't want to play ball then we are in trouble - which you don't know if they do or don't.

So, it is a stupid question to ask how the stadium is coming on? Actually I agree with you on that, but I think it is good to call their bluff ( the stadium talkers ) and show them for what they are. The more questions the better.... The longer this crap about the stadium goes on the weaker...

What date was the email? Progress on what? Building a stadium? Obtaining a site? Working on a deal with Wasps for long term security of tenure? Progress on playing in Coventry? Apart from the positive meeting about something, she has not given anything away.

No, so we cannot read much into it.

I would have thought saying that he would have paid lots more would have been in his interest in an attempt to show the council in a bad light and have cleared him. So, in this case I don't see his motive in saying he wouldn't have accepted it. He was still on the new stadium kick when he said...

Not "we're screwed", but "our plan to screw CCC and Higgs backfired".

"Very generally" and "albeit informally". Happens all the time... A what if? Situation. Doesn't mean that there were continuing talks from then on.

One that ended up selling a stadium with a 250 year lease to an out of town sports club because they were in the shit. Perhaps.

No, I don't. I think the possibilty of a deal was there though, and that SISU's continuation of the JR ( really Joy of course ) plus Tim's confirmation after the Gillingham game, in the middle of the euphory, that they were going ahead with the stadium build really gave CCC the choice of, take...

Unfortunately Tim had in the meantime confirmed that they ( Otium ) were building their own stadium. It would have been more questionable if Tim had confirmed building up trust as a way to maybe making an offer for the Ricoh. Maybe offering to drop the JR in return for a good deal would have...

How do you know that ACL were informed of the takeover? Just out of interest.

"The club announced yesterday the two-year deal, with an option for an extra two years, which will see the Sky Blues play at the Ricoh Arena for the first time in the league against Gillingham." Not according to club in this quote. An option usually means to keep going, not to be thrown out. If...

The acting leader of Coventry City Council has not ruled out the Sky Blues owning the Ricoh Arena in the future. Weeks of secret negotiations have led to the club agreeing to return to the stadium on a temporary agreement for up to four years. While both parties have indicated that could be...

Exactly. There is a break clause in favour of ACL after the 2 plus 2. Wasps didn't need to impose anything, it was there from 21 August 2014. No news, just people trying to say that evil Wasps have imposed something. More interesting would be, why didn't CCFC ( Otium ) ask for 5 and 5 instead of...

"Talking about" and being involved in fine details are two different things. So saying they were talking isn't an Addition that they were saying how long CCFC could sign up for.
