Who knew the press were the ones deciding the structure of the deal...

We'd have gone into admin, as CCC wouldn't have accepted any of the prospective buyers.

Wouldn't we all - the problem is that it would appear to transpire that this was never an option.

I think that where CRFC may struggle in the future is developing own players, attracting young players to their youth system as we know where they will go.

All you've done is illustrate the point so many of us are making. SISU are the evil hedge fund ripping of a charity for their investors. Wasps are the sympathetic organisation offering a solution and getting the best deal for their team. They are one and the same doing the same thing for the...

Does that mean it's OK to steal a mans wallet if someone else has already kicked the shit out of him?

The discussions between CA and Wasps suggested that although they were civil, there were sticking points in regards to what each party wants/is prepared to offer. It may be that these points are not going to be resolved - so from a Wasps perspective, they have a free pass by dropping in the...

If this was true (which I hope is!!) it would indicate a level of long term planning that has been generally absent in CCFC dealings in the last 20 years. I've got lots of things crossed.

Coventry are attempting to become the City of Culture in 2021... Maybe a bit far out, but this could be a point of action as they must choose way before then. Anything detrimental to that bid is going to certainly get us noticed. I feel ultimately that our football will be our biggest weapon. A...

It originates from CCC screwing club over back in 2005 over the Ricoh deal. Then again in 2007 by only accepting bidder for CCFC that didn't want stadium. In 2009 they told the club they would have to pay astronomical prices for a part of the Ricoh... Only after that did SISU start with their...

Maybe - but you would have thought a council that denounced the moving of a club from its home town as morally reprehensible would then have not sold out to a franchise that moved a club from its home town...

Pretty sure they'd have paid what Wasps did... Now only if CCC had offered that up front we wouldn't be here either.

Wasps could still own the stadium - or more to the point someone that was not us would do.

We owned fuck all then. We've had our pants down since 2003 and people have queued up to fuck us over ever since. SISU were right to push on the price of the Ricoh, but executed it horribly and went too far. But make no mistake the blame lies with ALL parties.

Would you rather we had paid £24m for F&B rights back in 2009?

Are you two the same person? Genuine question...

I'm sorry Italia - but they are spinning us lies. They know damn well that the 2 can't coexist, they are just trying to soften the blow and use SISU previous lack of strategy as an excuse.

There is no deal to be done. Not now, not ever. What part of that is difficult to understand? And before you refer to the article, quote, Q&A, chat over a cuppa or any other press release from Wasps or their mouthpiece the CET.. It's all bollocks.

We should criticise them for being the franchise cunts that they are. A franchise sports team has come into our city and is hellbent on driving us into oblivion. It's time for this to stop.

I think we have begun to address more points on our vision than ACL have on theirs.
