Sisu were more than willing to take on a long freehold, despite constant shouts of "unencumbered" from many. Think most agree that a 250 year lease effectively the freehold anyway, though the Wasps bond and most newspaper coverage of it seemed to intimate that the bond holders would have the...

Would imagine so, not looked that closely at the actual prospectus to be honest, just a quick look at it set off enough alarm bells!

I'm assuming that CCC and Higgs got paid their £5.5million between them from Wasps at the time of the sale and not now out of the money raised by the Bond issue?

They bid more for half of it, the council's half wasn't for sale was it? Too scared that Sisu would just use ownership of the Ricoh to raise money against it and give themselves a load of money. Luckily that never happened when Wasps bought it.

They did.

Log in fail?

Never knocked her work for women and appreciated here stand against the King signing. Mind you she was called a "publicity seeking whore" etc by a lot of fans then.

That is entirely where it went wrong. The first priority should have been getting the Ricoh. Named some decent players there, but only Dann really Premiership quality, forgetting the dross also aquired on unsustainable contracts, and the perserverence with a useless manager. If Sisu had...

Yeah it's all a bit of a paradox really. Couldn't actually afford to buy ACL until they'd actually bought ACL.

What they did when they "bought" the club, buying debt is their game. Wasps and ACL be ideal on that front.

Well they get their news from The Coventry Telegraph.

If not plants, certainly vegetables.

Couldn't afford his £85,000 a week.

There are loads of people who have finished their careers at Coventry to be fair.

If TM does sign for us, I'm sure there will be a few saying it's because no decent club wanted him.

Like Frankie? Not Frankie Howard obviously.

NLHWC thought that we'd regret letting Bigi go for £1,illion as he was worth £35million. Hope he's right, could do with a bit of sell on from that amount.

Second time in four days? Been doing that for about the 40 years I've been reading it.

So the value of the Ricoh went down because we weren't there, thereby showing that we added value to the Ricoh? Shouldn't Wasps have actually been paying a lot more then as we were back, and they were bringiing their huge, enormous, crowds to the Ricoh, so therefore the value should be double...

We only have to ask...
