I guess you knew all about this Wasps deal a while ago.

All we can do is keep going, try and encourage others to go, support the team and not boo them if the result doesn't go our way, don't put pressure on young kids trying their best for their home town club by constantly slagging them off. Then, maybe one day, things will slowly get better, but...

We need the voice of common sense to cut through all this nonsense, can you sum all of this drama up for us RFC. Please do not use capital letters though unless they are necessary.

Nick, you have created us all, have you really forgotten none of this is real?

If I've started quoting you then you must have got into my subconscious thoughts, if I start reciting 'where did I say that' then I'll seek help. :p

Much better to rent a stadium than trying to fund a new one. We can't afford a new one, we can afford to rent. Cov RFC don't seem terribly bothered.

That's odd as there's already a club in Coventry, did he not know that either?

What happens when the grass gets cut?

I bet the former and current shareholders were pissing themselves when they thought of this plan.

They've already agreed to sell, the Charity Commission is hardly going to make them keep an investment they don't want.

Good point, I would suspect that has been considered by Higgs though, and as wasps can veto anyway a higher bid wouldn't be successful unless there's something in it for them as well.

Surely the only players are the club (in one form or other), as Higgs have already agreed to sell to Wasps. I doubt Wasps would have agreed to buy 50% without being confident of the destiny of the other 50%.

As long as that's just your opinion then, rather than having anything to explain why. I can live with that.

Not naive at all, it's up to Higgs, not the Council. If it's that obvious that the veto will be enacted why would 3 companies bid already.

Are they all SISU companies? I suppose wasps can decide who they most want to work with, if they think ACL can be profitable they would be foolish to share the company with anyone else.

Why would there be more than one bid?

How is this offer the Council's fault, surely the shares are being sold by Higgs.

Are you suggesting that the Council shares have not been bought by Wasps yet? If they have, the Council has no veto.

How is it anything to do with the Council, they have sold their shares.

On reflection, I think you're right G. I think it would cost too much for SISU to get the old company up and running, and the timescale is too short. Still a slight, slight, chance it could happen.
