Is it the same principle? This is rugby we’re talking about. I’d put it in the same category as someone deciding to move a cinema or a ballet company - I don’t give a shit and I’d be surprised if anyone else did. Maybe there are more Cov Rugby fans on here than I know about, but I personally...

I think it’s primarily a problem of ideology, not competence. They’re clearly having no problem implementing their policies, it’s just that trading partners/bond markets/pension funds/the electorate all seem to fucking hate them.

Is rugby really that important to people that moving a team has the same impact as an MK Dons/Wimbledon situation? Yeah, Wasps moving into the Ricoh fucked us over and was worth getting angry about - I just never understood the outrage over moving a rugby team from one city to another.

Was that a widespread thing among Wasps fans then? Or was that just the weirdos?

I heard that Warwick University might be involved in the bid too.

I mean, I would too. But billionaires don’t tend to make their fortunes by trusting the old guard with time, just so they can do things the way they’ve always been done. You look at people like Boehly at Chelsea….they know they have a small window to make the changes they’ve envisaged -...

Sounds like someone needs an excuse for why they were at the Empire on Saturday night.

Can’t imagine any billionaire with real PL ambitions giving MR much rope. Coming in cold and with unlimited resources you want to quickly appoint someone with a proven record of Championship success, and a track record of managing a hefty budget. Robins has neither. He’s a good fit for a club in...

Thought he was alright as Professor X in the X-Men films, but not sure if he’ll have the money to run a football club.

Tbh I don't think either club is a particularly attractive investment. The energy at the moment is very much like watching a girl flirt with your mate and thinking "Well I'm sure she's only doing it to get close to me"

Must have been murder to organise the tests.

I mean, fair play to you if that's how you feel. Personally, if Warren Buffett showed up promising Champions League football at the CBS within five years, then even if he was promising to make Wasps a global superpower and demolish the Butts Park Arena as part of the deal then you wouldn't see...

Oh yeah, don't get me wrong, I'd be pretty optimistic if Ashley ended up buying CCFC - nevermind that the current plan on the table apparently also means Wasps in Coventry for the long haul, and CCFC and Wasps being part of the same corporate family. I can't imagine giving enough of a shit about...

Well the Mail's reporting said that Ashley was interested in first taking over Wasps before he then gets to us - is that not the plan we're talking about here?

Not many, yet, but we're only a few hours in I suppose:

So he didn't play? Or do you mean it in the Matty Godden sense?

Anyone entertaining/supporting a Mike Ashley takeover of CCFC is also hoping for a future where Wasps' future in Coventry is not only secured, but their fortunes are directly tied to those of Coventry City for the foreseeable future as well. Sorry Cov!

Where has NEC said that? So all the other bids would be essentially non-starters except for NEC then in your view?

That was just one of the issues that Grendel had flagged though - he's been calling it a white elephant for years. I don't even disagree with him, I'm just curious why an Arena with a rubbish location, no parking, dominant rivals nearby and concerts that don't make any money would obviously...

Cleopatra lived closer to the creation of Pizza Hut than she did the creation of the pyramids at Giza.
