    That was before he had a triple leg break though.

    Who disagrees? I know it was written in our programme that the entire football world disagrees, but I haven't seen the quotes. I was asking you how the club could afford it, you're the one that thinks it's a good idea. The owners may be able to afford it (I doubt they would waste even more...

    You seem very interested in the swimming facilities for the city, have you visited the new pool at the AT7 centre, that must have cost a fair bit, what about the pool at the xcel centre that's still pretty new?

    Utter tosh. The rental model can work perfectly well, it just needs the contract to be agreed for the benefit of all concerned, and this can include access to other revenue. Please explain why you think it can't work, and also how we could afford to pay for a new stadium when we can't afford...

    Message for acl-sisu

    If SISU agreed to a long term rental agreement then ACL wouldn't need to look for someone else to come in, and the club would be financially better off as it wouldn't need to fund a new stadium. A long term rental agreement is what needs to be encouraged.

    Tudgay, Daniels, Pugh. Possibly also Thomas although the fact that recent managers must all rate him, and Liverpool saw something in him, means that I'm willing to fight my thoughts and be prepared to accept that managers know more than me.

    A few things to be concerned about

    We have a team that has been thrown together based on a small budget, we have a combination of players that would be lucky to get a job in football if they weren't here, loans that will leave in Jan, youth team who will naturally have good and bad games, and a couple of decent players for this...

    Not doubting you for a moment, but have you got any info to confirm the 10% profit?

    Wasps in talks to takeover Ricoh

    The bit you have highlighted is where they invest, this generates the money to further their charitable giving in Coventry.

    It is hard to keep up with the spin and trying to decipher what some of the statements actually mean, but the club do now say they benefit from concourse purchases. What they don't detail is how they benefit.

    Wasps in talks to takeover Ricoh

    The stadium is owned by the Council. If SISU win a JR appeal this doesn't change the ownership, it also doesn't change the fact the a different company, that's ACL, own a lease to operate from the stadium.

    According to the club they do benefit from purchases.

    Fortunately some people, well a person, is willing to offer millions to the charity as a donation.

    They will be building houses on Coundon Road before you know it.

    Fisher says 'we need to look at pricing because average F&B spend is less than £2 per person on matchday and also encourage fans to use the concourse. The commercial deal gives us incentive to drive business to the concourse'. Read more at...

    Have the Council agreed to sell the Ricoh, or their share of ACL?

    Wasps in talks to takeover Ricoh

    Thanks. You seem quite sure that this is what Wasps want, presumably you have this info first hand. To get a majority share they would need to buy shares from Higgs and the Council, do you know whether both are willing to sell?

    ACL cant sell the ground as they don't own it. The story in the Telegraph is rather poor in its references to ground ownership and then references to buying a stake in ACL, which is it Simon Gilbert?
