Swanson in, Haynes in and Tudgay in. I think. Unless my ears are deceiving me.

None of us believe a new stadium will be built, so it is about time our owners came out and said, yes, we do want to stay at the Ricoh. Then surely we would all come out and fight for our club to remain. What we have now is ACL trying to sell to a total outsider and Sisu saying they are not...

When I was 19 and my then girlfriend was 16, we were messing about in the hallway of my house and I had her stripped topless on the floor. I then decided it might be a good idea to tie her up as a joke, so got some string and tied her hands and feet behind her back. She was lying on her back...

But I would add to that, Sisu to stop saying they are leaving and building their own statement and just simply come out and say they want to stay at the Ricoh. Can they not just say those simple few words? They used to say they wanted to stay at the Ricoh, but for the past 2 years it's all been...

Well would have thought anyone can put a bid in for anything. They just wouldn't be allowed to know what the undisclosed bid is.

Because they are in existence to serve the people of Coventry, that's why. I cannot believe for a single second that our own council would screw over both the rugby club and football club of this city to allow a franchise club from miles away come in and destroy the two most historic and...

Don't think a promise is worth as much as a signed agreement to be honest. You can put caveats and clauses into contracts that ensure any new owner meets the criteria of the agreement and does not breach it. Promises are just words.

Well yep, Sisu saying they want to stay here would be a start. If they come out now and say they want to stay at the Ricoh that gives us something to fight for and to lobby CCC and ACL over. If Sisu come out and say 'We want to stay at the Ricoh' then I think an awful lot of fans would swiftly...

It's what I keep saying, and as the SBT statement quite rightly put, speculation, conjecture, rumour and guesswork at play here.

i don't know, Stu. I am not an expert in takeovers, or indeed, caveats. They could surely though make sure any new owner offered a 100 year lease to the football club, so that Coventry City couldn't just be kicked out in the future couldn't they?

I don't know is the answer. We can all assume it will be bad for City and Cov rugby, but we don't know for certain. My mind keeps coming back to Coventry City Council and what they represent. I honestly cannot see them voting for a deal that pushes Coventry City out into the wilderness...

Ferret, I am very much contradicted on this myself. I really don't know what is going to happen and what is right here. We have just had more meat ont he bones today and it has differed from the info we were drip fed the other day. I think my senses are perfectly intact. As I have said, I am...

Don't understand why people think ACL are desperate to sell. Surely they will just have an empty sports stadium if CCFC leave and would want to make full use of that facility. If you had a pub with a function room as the back wouldn't you want to utilise it? I know it's not the same thing of...

We don't know it will be a disaster, ferret. We may well think it will be, but how can you say that with any certainty? No certainty either that there will be yellow seats put in. So much of this is still conjecture and gueswork and rumour and speculation, as the SBT statement quite rightly...

Agree with that, Stu. Very naive thinking here of CRFC I would say. You would think that the next generation of Coventry born rugby fans could well turn out to become Wasps fans in the future.

I didn't read that as the SBT being happy with Wasps taking over, Skybluechick. Where does it say that?

What I mean, Dave, is that they obviously haven't bid, but there are now talks with Wasps about a bid. I'm just implying that this shouldn't be exclusive and a closed shop. Sisu should still have the opportunity to bid and talks shouldn't have gone so far down the line with Wasps that there's...

As a few of us said a few days ago, let's wait and see if we can find out more info and now at least it does look like we have got that and a bit more meat on the bones. The Cov rugby thing doesn't seem to hold the same argument as the other day now does it. If this report above is true it seems...

So, sounds like we won't just get kicked out and current arrangements would remain the same. 4 years at the Ricoh. Plenty of time to build their corrugated cardboard stadium in the middle of nowhere.

There has been much rumour, speculation, guess work and conjecture concerning the story that appeared in the Coventry Telegraph about Wasps rugby club taking a controlling interest in ACL, the current leaseholders and management company of the Ricoh Arena. The Sky Blue Trust has spent the...
