I’m not arguing that they shouldn’t talk. I’m arguing that the statement has been worded in such a way that people will take it face value and start tagging it as an olive branch when actually it’s nothing of the sort. It’s one thing they’re never going to do and one thing that’s going to...

If I’m not serious then I must be taking a new stadium serious. In which case you can’t be serious. She’s saying I’ll do what Wasps has asked but with a condition that talks on a new stadium start. Really! Are we going to take that seriously? She’s saying B won’t happen unless A happens and...

She can drop the legals now then and the second part of her “olive branch” will happen anyway. Problem sorted, talks start. I can’t believe that you and Nick aren’t seeing through this when it’s so opaque. I can only assume that you’re buying into the new stadium part of her “olive branch”.

Just watching Peston and it sounds like Parliament might be voting on it AGAIN as early as next week. Madness.

She’s going to try and buy more time to get more votes on her deal if you ask me. She’s living in cloud cuckoo land. I wonder how many times Parliament will have to vote on it until she gets the right result?

Did the Russians join him?

Sort what out? They aren’t building a stadium legals dropped or not. If you’re really buying that then I really do pity you in the same way I pity RFC. Wasps have always said they’ll negotiate a deal out once the legals have been dropped. Where’s the value in the statement? There isn’t any...

Do you honestly believe the statement has been written because they’re serious about talks on a new stadium? I’ll leave talks about a Ricoh deal out the equation because we already know that part of the statement will happen anyway once they drop the legals.

I do. That’s what I wanted when ACL were trying to arrange talks to stop us going to Sixfields through Appleton and then latter get us to return from Sixfields through the FL. We had to wait for religious figures to get involved before SISU would talk at the third time of asking and over 12...

I think you’re deliberately missing the point. You’ve took a SISU statement at face value (can’t believe you fell for that one given all that’s happened) and done them the service of selling it as an olive branch with no idea of the details. I struggle to believe that it’s as simple as the...

Why do discussions need to start before SISU lay out their full terms and conditions? Why would anybody be against that?

Why don’t SISU call the councils bluff and print the small print? Think about it. SISU has offered an “olive branch” of something that they could do anyway and something that would happen anyway if they dropped the legals. The statement on its own is empty. Now if they’re expecting everyone to...

I wonder what the small print would be on SISU’s “olive branch “? Would they be expecting everyone to settle their own legal costs for instance?

You may be counting your chickens there. Another big day in Parliament tomorrow.

They should read SBT.

Yeah but that was Plan A 1:5 Now we’re on plan A 3:6 there’s bound to be enough ground somewhere. Maybe they could get the old generic artist impression, err, sorry I mean comprehensive stadium plans from plan 1:4 out and present the to the council and call their bluff ;)

On a deal at the Ricoh no but we know that anyway same as we know that Wasps will negotiate a deal if the legals are dropped. Why don’t SISU call the councils bluff and try start the process of developing a stadium (as that’s supposed to be plan A anyway, again) to give the council something...

To do what? She doesn’t need to drop the legals to push ahead with a new stadium.

What olive branch? She offered to drop the legals if the council help her do something she can do anyway and if she can get an interim deal at the Ricoh which we already know is possible if she drops the legals? Are you really not seeing what an empty load of nonsense this is?

Why do SISU have to drop the legals to go ahead with a stadium? Can’t they continue the legals and pursue a stadium? Who are they putting conditions on exactly if not themselves?
