It was obviously worth something to a professional Sports team. No build costs, no property company costs - a ready made 32000 seater football Stadium in Coventry. A snip. Pity other people couldn't have done a deal..... Still one day SISU may build a 12000 seater in the sticks.... Do you know...

Agree, but I am talking about what they are supposed to be doing ( it is even in the name ), and I want them to actually do it. I think in our case, it would be a good idea. The asset stripping and distressing, backed up by battering in court, has not worked. Try a new approach and build up an...

If it were only so easy...... Throw 50m in and 2 years later take a 100m out...... the prem is light years away from where we are and other owners will also be putting money in. I think we should start at the beginning.... First of all our owners, Otium Entertainment, should aim to concentrate...

Buy what? Stadium naming rights? New factory in Ansty? Or the Stadium? And..... How do you know?

Somewhere along the line the original purpose of joining the football league has been forgotten. The original idea was not to make money, but to play sport at the highest level possible. Not to get to a point where you can just about break even and be content with messing around in a lower...

They don't have a site, they have never shown a business plan, they have done virtually nothing about getting a stadium in 2 years. We have one choice in the short term: eat humple pie and see if we can extend the existing deal with Wasps. In the meantime Otium's core business is providing...

just in case you mean that I am one of the gleeful ones .... Wasps are cleverer than SISU .... Measured on who has a stadium and who has not. That is a factual observation. I would rather it were the other way round, but it isn't.

Do you seriously believe that there was a conspiracy to get 100000 in rent revenue and a few pies and hot dogs sales from league 1 attendances? Next you'll be claiming SISU deliberately lost the JR ( sorry already been claimed ). My own business has far more revenue and I am not rich. I am not...

I am saying that if he had said that he wanted to build bridges and sit at the negotiating table, CCC would indeed be seen in a bad light. There would have been outrage from the people ( including me ) who think that SISU screwed up. A refusal to meet Tim would have got me on the anti CCC side...

it is a possibility that there may have been a halt in negotiations, but more to the point, there would have been a justifiable reason to question as to why the Wasps deal still went ahead. Saying, in effect, we are not interested, at a crucial point, ended any chance of a last minute reprieve...

Says you. If SISU knew the deal had been done, why didn't they jump up and down at that point? Nothing to lose, but great victim publicity. I think the other hedge fund is a damn sight cleverer than ours and I don't doubt for a minute that SISU were totally outplayed by Richardson. Don't give me...

What are you on about? I have not mentioned the article. I just pointed out the most gallig part of the story, which put the final nail in CCFC's coffin. That being the confirmation, that despite the optimism and rejoicing of the fans ( including a full house ), Tim put the boot in once again...

I seem to remember that straight after the Gillingham game, when we all thought we were back in the Ricoh, Tim came out and said that they, SISU, were going ahead and building their own stadium. Door well and truly slammed shut. Hello Wasps, but where is the stadium? Who should be holding their...

I would like to see a change in attitude from TF. Straight talking instead of riddles. We will not be gifted a stadium by SISU or anyone as a league 1 team. So, the main aim should be promotion. We have the chance of securing a good manager for at least a season. Back him to the hilt. Ask Wasps...

As it stands it is a disaster. Wasps arrival is not a blessing for city fans, but was foreseeable when our owners kept insisting that we don't want the Ricoh ( except unencumbered ) - and have confirmed that they wouldn't have accepted the deal Wasps have. I have no idea how TF gets out of the...

Not bothered what they were thinking. Fact is we are there ( at the Ricoh under Wasps tenure ) at the moment and don't have an alternative. We have to take it as it is.

I would like to see a clearly laid out plan with factual backing from TF. I cannot see the CT refusing an interview with TF if he asked for one as a response to Wasps reported refusal to buy CCFC or alter the ownership structure to allow CCFC to buy in. If Wasps can afford 40 minutes of their...

That is Simon's job. Fair play to him. We now know where we stand ( unless it is of course a Fisher type " we don't posture " ). So, I am still not 100% sure, but we have to work on what they say - as the council had to work on what Fisher said, even if they had their doubts. So the question...

What are you on about? One has a stadium the other doesn't. That is the point which matters to me. I don't care how or why. The fact is I can sit and watch CCFC in Cov. at a stadium owned by Wasps. I don't need to make excuses for anyone.
