Poor charity being conned out of their money.

Of course they weren't. They were only involved at the last minute.

Blimey they got that Wasps background etc knocked up quickly. The Ricoh is now their home and Coventry City are tenants.

Agree with that.

Because the council were themselves pursuing buying out the loan through prudential borrowing.

The next 4 years and God knows what afterwards. If we continue to be tenants beyond 4 years I would imagine the rent creeping up as Wasps will not bring in the money themselves. Where's their expertise in event management etc?

The opportunity for the club to buy half of ACL was open ended. That's why the council has had to buy the Higgs Share.

That isn't the big problem for me. The CLUB has now lost its first refusal on half of ACL. It's lost any ability to prosper from a stadium that was built for it.

Boring John.

The actual negotiations were about a share of ACL. Do you read anything apart from headlines? Only when negotiations broke down did JS come out and say the freehold was what she wanted.

We don't know if it's better or worse than the Wasps one. I'd be surprised if there was much in it.

It's not difficult

That the deal with Wasps is rejected and the option for CCFC to have first refusal on 50% of ACL is honoured.

That's OK then. Chuck the baby out with the bathwater.

We'll remain a league 1 side with big debts and limited means to repay them.

Might do but not got a ticket myself. One of the fighters is going down a few weight divisions!

It's not hurting SISU. It hurts the CLUB in the long term. SISU could be gone tomorrow. That said, the likelihood of new owners for me has evaporated completely.

Yes. Any number can be plucked out. Remember the deal was worth £30m the other day!

Wasps have promised that they might create a few thousand jobs or something like that.

I'm the leader of the council. I can do what I like because the people of Coventry continually ensure my re-election through either not voting or due to some bizarre affiliation to a labour party which sold itself out 20 odd years ago.
