Do you know what, I'd love nothing more than us to include a way of bringing Bees back , as long as it's not in the football ground.

I think we could agree an extension with Birmingham if there are no other options. I think the EFL would agree to it as long as there was evidence of progress in moving back to Coventry/building a new ground. I agree, liquidation isn't particularly likely. What is there to liquidate? Not a lot...

I tend to agree with this. Or at least until any chance of legal challenges has subsided. It might be that any future deal (or lack thereof) with the EU puts the kibosh on any future appeals within the EU legal system.

As someone else said, I think it was only ever really political noise.

Yep, also true.

I think the official line is something along the lines on it being dependent on them agreeing commercial terms, and for whatever reason they can't. They could only really mandate them not kicking CCFC off the deal they currently had, anything future is obviously open to negotiations on...

We returned just before it was announced I think. Would think the price was set before then. As I say, I'm not sure I agree with them but that is their rationale.

I'm not crying, I've got dust in my eyes.

CCC seemed to think there'd be an update September/October but that's subject to change. Sounds like ECC don't see it as a priority case as it's been through UK courts (CCC opinion). Don't know how end of transition period will impact things.

Yes. They know nothing more than any of us. Wouldn't commit to a particular position on it as didn't know details but I think in theory they would support it. With anything around planning as a local authority it's quite prescriptive what they can do as it's regulated. They certainly didn't seem...

Well, I think they're acting in self interest. The indemnity would be to stop action against CCC so that could be read as protecting a 3rd party, but in reality if courts find against CCC the result of this would be Wasps repaying the difference in valuations to CCC.

Council lawyer said they can appeal to ECJ and somewhere else that I forget.

I think they signed last year to say they wouldn't take action against Wasps with regards the sale of the Ricoh. What Wasps now seem to be asking is for them not to take action against CCC as this would impact them financially should anyone rule against CCC. I think some of the impacting CCFCs...

I think there's probably a bit more to it in terms of implications with regards taking action against Wasps. That's just my reading of the bits around indemnity against CCC. Unfortunately I doubt we'll ever find the exact terms.

But which club?

They very much stand by their decision to sell ACL to Wasps. Also said the valuation was fair on the basis that the asset was devalued by the football club not being there. To me, the decision to move to Northampton played right into their hands with wanting to bring Wasps in (again, my opinion...

Does my last post answer this? Not sure we'll be able to get confirmation from any party on if that is actually the case but I think Wasps will be asking CCFC/Sisu not to take any action against CCC in terms of future appeals as it would impact them financially. Again, just my reading of the...

With regards the "indemnity" my reading of it is that Wasps may be asking CCFC not to pursue the EU complaint any further if it's not successful. The CCC legal representative confirmed there are 2 further routes of appeal that can be taken if the case is unsuccessful, 1 is an appeal to the...

I think, basically, there's nothing contractual with Wasps to that end.

Not sure if Pete has answered this already, but yes. We made sure there was no room for semantics. They didn't ask for any indemnity (or anything else you could call it) or play any part in the deal. They say the deal is between Wasps and CCFC only. We asked a couple of times to clarify this and...
