    Wasps in talks to takeover Ricoh

    It's fine saying that, Michael, but first shouldn't we see what the Wasps plan is? The more I think about it, the more I believe that CCFC will have to be included in any deal. The council would get so much flak over this if it was allowed to go ahead and CCFC were just cast to the winds. I am...

    They're going to raise funds by Fisher having a sponsored beard shave off? That'll be £500. Just another 19.99 million and a bit to find. Easy peasy.

    I always find OSB very, very balanced and well reasoned. I am the opposite, as I have no rhyme ir reason and am completely unbalanced.

    Wasps in talks to takeover Ricoh

    But don't you fear that building a new stadium is going to financially cripple us for many, many years to come? Just think any monies we have will be concentrated on the new stadium and the outlay of costs for planning and architecture etc. I know they have said funded by investors, but then...

    Wasps in talks to takeover Ricoh

    Can ACL not state that CCFC playing at the Ricoh has to be part of any agreement to sell? I don't Wasps here at all, but I would take it if it meant CCFC remaining at the Ricoh and not buggering off.

    Sorry, Torch but you are contradicting yourself. If people were not happy with the idea we would be totally opposed to it. You can't say people are only happy if everyone agrees, but then say people aren't going to agree. No agreement = opposition to the plan.

    Ahh, I see where this has come from now. Lol. That post 'no-one else to blame' is just me copying and pasting the CT's article. None of it is my own work! :laugh:

    Wasps in talks to takeover Ricoh

    Based on what? Based on the countless times I've said I would be opposed to it? :thinking about: I would only approve if it benefitted all parties. Have made that crystal clear, you WUM! :whistle::slap:;)

    Wasps in talks to takeover Ricoh

    Trouble is, no-one has said what Torch has put. And as has been said numerous times on this thread, it is Sisu who are saying they are not staying at the Ricoh and are moving elsewhere. That totally moves the goalposts on this issue. No-one has said it's okay for Wasps to come here, all they...

    Wasps in talks to takeover Ricoh

    Good article it is too. Coventry City can only blame themselves The crowd at the floodlit Ricoh Arena The proposed deal for Wasps to buy a controlling stake in the company that runs the Ricoh Arena has quickly dashed any hopes of a lasting peace between the owners of Coventry City and...

    Wasps in talks to takeover Ricoh

    This is an entirely different situation we have here though compared to the Sixfields thing. Here we have a football club that seem to be totally adamant they are moving away from the Ricoh. Lost count now of how many times they've said 'that boat has sailed' and that they are building a new...

    There's not, but I get it is closer to 6,000.

    It's going to drip away even quicker than we think if they keep deep frying Mars Bars.

    Next thing on the agenda for me is, independence from my wife.

    I know they were, Stu. Think they were blaming the wrong people though. Business people will always make decisions that make business like sense. They are not interested in the fans. Northampton Town didn't really do much wrong at all to be honest.

    Wasps in talks to takeover Ricoh

    Just don't detect much hypocrisy at all. You'll always get the odd poster here and there, but only the whole here I would say a huge majority are not in favour of this at all. And to reiterate, I would only be in favour if this benefitted CCFC and then only of Cov rugby had no objections to it...

    Wasps in talks to takeover Ricoh

    Nope, still don't get it. From Northampton's perspective it made good sense to have us there and I don't believe I have ever slated Northampton for taking us in. Therefore , from Northampton's perspective it made perfect sense to take CCFC in. From ACL's perspective, if CCFC are determined to...

    Wasps in talks to takeover Ricoh

    I don't think Cov fans will be onboard with it. I am saying it would only be okay if Cov fans and the club are totally onboard with it. If they oppose it it shouldn't happen. And if I were Wasps the first thing I would do would be to contact Cov rugby to see how they feel about Wasps moving...

    Wasps in talks to takeover Ricoh

    Maybe I am missing something. Who on here is saying it's okay? How many people? Maybe I've missed those posts, but I can't see anyone agreeing with it, just a number of people understanding ACL's decision from a busines perspective. Just cos people understand that it doesn't mean they agree to...
