I think the civil action would be more likely to follow a finding of state aid, it would give a firm basis for civil action. If no such finding I doubt they would have any options left.

I doubt it, this feels like the last opportunity. If the EU commission who wrote the rules, and are likely to be the strictest enforce of them (unlike our left wing judiciary), can’t find anything then I think it will be game over in terms of the sale of the Ricoh.

Even if they were, they will have been directed by the EU Commission as to how the regulations should be applied. The extract shown in my earlier post suggests EU will have jurisdiction until December 2024 ( given the transition period will close about then) so council not off the hook yet. All...

From Linklaters legal firm website Jurisdiction over “live” cases during the transition period The Commission will continue to have jurisdiction over antitrust and merger cases “initiated” before the end of the transition period. In relation to state aid proceedings, the Commission will be...

And if I’m wrong, wasps will be able to drop the indemnity requirement, won’t they?

For things happening after 31 Jan maybe EU will have no jurisdiction, but will for things happening before that date.

Yes if the regulations in place at the time were breached.

And West Ham’s income will be how many multiples of what ours was in the championship?

A A damn sight more than a prem league, hopefully potentially championship, rugby club.

At the time the rent was set, wasn’t Fletcher on ACL side of the table. Oh, and we were n the Prem. and then itv digital went bust the year we fell to the championship. A completely different environment, which the landlords refused to recognise.

Stadium naming rights is their biggest loss without us.

They aren’t, and yes it’s a shame.

But what can we do now? The ball is in wasps court (no pun intended). The complaint to the EU ( not a court action) against the council (not wasps) cannot be withdrawn. If wasps removed the indemnity ( why demand it if 100% sure no state aid rules have been broken) and then SISU don’t arrange a...

Can I just be clear. You would have wanted the club to have signed an indemnity which could have put the Sky Blues out of existence if the council have breached EU rules?

Exactly, any return to the Ricoh is in wasps hands, not SISU’s.

Is Deleted member 5849 a spy?

Nope, all their best players left, leaving or retiring injured.

Drunkenwasps is one, onceawasp is another. Meltdown on those at the moment, pretty much.
