From what I can gather its a done deal that this is being changed. The likes of Worcester and Leicester are apparently preparing to take legal action against Wasps and RFU.
Of course if the council hadn't decided to shut the existing sports centre, which I'm not convinced stacks up financially, there wouldn't be any need for a new pool at Higgs.
Something needs to be done or we'll end up back in Northampton or out of business completely. Surely now the fanbase will wake up and start to take some action.
And this is exactly the reason the way CCC conducted the sale was wrong. To maximise return for the taxpayer, and the charity, it should have been properly marketed by a specialist agency.
Turner would be a great signing if the medical staff are confident of his fitness. Baker's age would worry me, but again if he's fit and the price was right we could do worse. Always liked Tabb.
Past that I'm struggling to think of anyone I'd welcome back.
I haven't seen the actual lease so I don't know what was in it but as we are repeatedly told it is an asset of the city I would expect a clause to force forfeiture should any insolvency event occur.
Don't remember the CT being concerned about those points when CCC were selling the stadium to Wasps and the local media were welcoming them with open arms.
Interesting to look at the CT headlines:

If the council issued the original lease to ACL without a clause that any insolvency event reverts ownership back to the council some very serious questions need to be asked about their incompetence.
