    Details of Wasps' Ricoh Arena deal with council revealed

    ACL paid £21m up front financed by a mortgage from Yorkshire Bank rather than playing £1.9m for 50 years.

    Details of Wasps' Ricoh Arena deal with council revealed

    Do a deal to effectively increase the rent outgoing to £1.7m all because of the council making a complete hash of its loans to ACL from day one?

    Details of Wasps' Ricoh Arena deal with council revealed

    Can't really disagree with Fisher in saying he wouldn't want to buy into that. It might not help a state aid case but would surely give rise to SISU sitting tight for a while yet.

    They've got a new Rugby team in Coventry which one of his companies has decided to embrace.

    Affinity....

    I find this attitude odd from Coventry United's new number one fan. Are your saying a player must have a contract of employment with a club to represent the team? Is this a new phenomenon? Presumably in the last 10 years or so loan players weren't a problem?

    Indeed. It's all bollocks. Arranging facts to fit your paradigm.

    Wasps deal will be externally scrutinised

    I don't think it's the job of this set of auditors to examine the rights and wrongs of the Wasps move, is it? Also of course, ACL I'd imagine isn't even in scope for the audit, so half the story is missing.

    He played well August to December last season. He was mediocre after that. The season before he didn't play much but didn't impress when he did.

    Funny you should mention the orange ball. Not seen one in use for a long time. Saw a brief clip ofa Bundesliga game where it was snowing yet the orange ball didn't appear.

    Amazed how many people think Fleck deserves a place in the side. He's been useless this season.

    Presumably Wasps had conditions to their offer? Or was it marketed as a 250 year lease?

    The post isn't about who is to blame though, is it? It's just highlighting what a bullshitter Saint Ann is.

    It makes sense of course. Pressley hasn't been allowed to bring in a number of players in January because he's on his way

    He got around. There is a bit in Mick Quinn's book about an occasion when Rosie took a few players to meet some nympho that he knew...

    Lee Fowler back in league 1 / old champ man players

    Fowler looked pretty good whenever I saw him. I know he was well liked at Wrexham. Fair play to him for sticking at it.

    Why not? It's only in the mixed up world of public finance and hundreds of budget holders and cost centres it can't! If it can be used for loaning money it can support a budget elsewhere surely. It isn't like a central government grant for a specific purpose which can only be used for that purpose.

    The council is cutting and has cut services. It had £14m in cash balances. It possibly could have retained any one of its cut services with £14m but chose instead to use it to prop up a stadium management company. True or false? If false please explain why.
