Apparently security have been told talks are ongoing according to PSB group on Twitter, probably bull
Exactly my thoughts mateCould also have been if they thought there was going to be rowdy city fans there. Hence they told security to say that
Always is nowadaysWho knows what's going on but I smell a rat about a lot of things that have gone on in the last week.
I'll admit to being a dozy bastard but it's obvious to me there's more to all this than meets the eye.
Go on, I love a good conspiracy.Who knows what's going on but I smell a rat about a lot of things that have gone on in the last week.

Probably some truth about it because I dunno if wasps got european rugby next season or not but if they didn’t then I doubt they can afford not to have us there
They don’t. Finished 8th, so will be playing in the second tier competition which they’ll probably struggle with after all their players have left them.Probably some truth about it because I dunno if wasps got european rugby next season or not but if they didn’t then I doubt they can afford not to have us there
I predicted to my father-in-law when they moved in that it wouldn't be as to say as being painted by them and the council. Knowing how fickle us Coventry folk can be with our OWN teams when things are against us, what chance do outsiders have. My shock, is just how quickly it could happen.Repeated from another thread. Brilliant. No Europe, ££££££s lost. No tenants ££££s lost. Need to keep an eye on EC ££££ lost. Difficulty attracting decent players, impact on attendance £££££ lost. FCA investigation into financial irregularities, potential fine £££ lost. Impact on wasps bonds ££££ lost. Near perfect storm.
Tbh they draw their support from outside of Coventry for the most part, quite telling that of the pubs renamed today only one was in Cov. It makes the decision even worse, sell the stadium so that people from Birmingham can watch rugby union.I predicted to my father-in-law when they moved in that it wouldn't be as to say as being painted by them and the council.

The only thing I can think of is Wasps legal team / advisors have fucked up. When they leaked it through Gilbert there was no mention of the complaint to the EC being irreversible, that came once our fans started looking into it and then got confirmed the next day by someone on CWR.This can't just have been a public play to push the rent up a bit by getting the club to panic can it? Surely that's too simplistic an answer. Besides, putting the Cov fans through the wringer won't do them any favours in the long run in terms of garnering support in the city. There must still be much more to this than meets the eye.
Whatever way you look at it there's zero sense to kicking us out. They will lose our rent and other revenues, not to mention a lot of goodwill. On the flip side what do they gain? Absolutely nothing, if anything it could prompt further legal action and bigger payouts should SISU win at some point.I just can’t see them kicking us out...

Could it be the deal was agreed but they wanted to force SISU to withdraw the complaint not realising they couldn't?
That's the only thing I can think of. There's no way SISU are going to indemnify them and I don't think any of our fans would want them to. Why should we pay if they are found to be in the wrong?

Surely they’d have more knowledge of an EC complaint than we could come up with after a small google.The only thing I can think of is Wasps legal team / advisors have fucked up.

Yeah, but I am already a bit irked that it won't be sewn up by Christmas and it will only be in the first week of the new year.Maybe it’s heart over head, but I’ve had the same feeling as others all week; there’s definitely more going on behind the scenes.
Logically it doesn’t make sense for Wasps to kick us out. Their one reported grievance with us remains, whether we are at the Ricoh or not. They risk frustrating those (weird) groups of fans who support both CCFC and Wasps, as well as those Wasps fans who go for the social or enjoy rugby but ultimately are still Coventrian > London Wasps. And at this stage, with dwindling attendances, no Europe and a loss of talent, they really can’t afford to lose more fans.
I’ve been intrigued by the lack of statements and even (whether we agree with it or not) mud slinging following the break down of talks. Is that because they are still on-going and/or NDA’s are still in place? Have SISU refrained as they believe they can get Wasps back round the table? Or is it just lethargy from all sides.
No inside knowledge, but I retain a slither of hope we’ll be at the Ricoh next year. And we’ll win the league, obviously.

We must all be a seething over that I reckon. Barstards.
You’d have thought so but what else makes sense?Surely they’d have more knowledge of an EC complaint than we could come up with after a small google.
Nothing has made sense. I do have a weird gut feeling that we’ll stay at the Ricoh though.You’d have thought so but what else makes sense?
I don't think wasps broke this I think it was ccc. I don't think wasps knew until late last week so hence the knee jerk reaction was real anger vented at sisuSurely they’d have more knowledge of an EC complaint than we could come up with after a small google.
The statement from Ccfc contradicts that though by hinting it was a part of discussions.I don't think wasps broke this I think it was ccc. I don't think wasps knew until late last week so hence the knee jerk reaction was real anger vented at sisu
However i do think that both wasps and ccfc will keep talking. How they cobble something together out of that God knows.
The complaint was cold calculated and all sides knew exactly what it meant... sisu knew in February wasps in may . ... just a question of timing as to the reaction.
