Direct message to Joy?

Can't complain too much about this signing. A good committed player who's well experienced at this level. Yes he isn't the youngest but still capable of 40 games a season.

Wonder if it had anything to do with the confusing open letter not being attributed to Joy then having to clarify via twitter etc.? Good luck to her in whatever she does next. Always going to be a thankless task under these owners.

So have we asked for two sets of mediation? I can't see why CCC or CRFC need to be involved in any rental contract negotiations at the Ricoh, surely this is just a dispute between two private companies? And I can't see why Wasps would need to be involved in any planning dispute at the BPA. If...

On the naming rights I made the point a long time ago that the club should either take a share of it for bringing exposure to the stadium much the same as how West Ham will be at the. Olympic stadium as part of their rental deal or even take the initiative and bring a naming rights deal in...

You clearly don't understand how this works. It's amazing how SISU have ever done anything ever. According to some on here it's someone else's responsibility to do all the leg work, present it to SISU and then wait for them to say yes or no.

So. Any news from the club or SISU as to wether they'll accept Wasps invitation to talk? If not we'll need mediation.

Good work by the telegraph. Getting Nicky to admit that they actually had been contacted by the MP after talking to said MP. That's investigative journalism for you.

It does indeed.

The income would of course add to the scmp/ffp calculation but in real terms what would it actually add to the playing budget? Very little to nothing looking at ACL's accounts. One poor summer with no events might it actually have a negative effect on the budget? I'm sure it will be fine and...

All of them. If you own the stadium you don't have the luxury of picking and choosing what bills you pay, you pay all of them. Yes many would be offset. All of them though? Like I keep asking. Is ACL a cash cow for Wasps or a monster to feed? It's the latter isn't it. How is that going to...

What about the non match day costs we don't have to pay that are part in parcel of owning and running a stadium? The bit everyone wants to ignore. Is ACL a cash cow for Wasps or a monster to feed?

I'm not just a pretty face duffer ;)

If we owned the Ricoh we'd still have match day costs. They're not a consequence of renting, they're an intrinsic part of running a football club. What we don't have of course is non match day costs. No one seems to want to work that into the equation. The OP was a valid point, we most likely...

Yeah but Tim has found time to be in negotiations all along. Grendull said so, so it must be true.

Didn't we have a bigger budget then?

That would involve the club (or to be more precise, those tasked with running it) being proactive not reactive and we all know that isn't something they do. You yourself came up with the theory that the only reason we don't own the Ricoh is because the council didn't go running to SISU and say...

Ha ha. I bet that the same person who told you that was the same person who gave you all your "inside information" on the take it or leave it seven times more rent offer from Wasps.

Took them ages to open it fully didn't it? Plus how many do they get every home game? Under SISU's stewardship we wouldn't get anywhere near that in league 2, even if someone at SISU did work out how to put a bid in to buy the Ricoh.

Where did we rank in agent fees paid in this league again? Forth wasn't it? Maybe the Venkys aren't the only naive investors in football who were taken to the cleaners. Mind you, after 10 years in the business you'd think that they wouldn't be so naive. But then again. Doing the same thing...
