Yep you’d think. One of the individuals I met with said it was really complicated and that I didn’t understand. I replied to say it’s pretty simple Wasps agree to rent the pitch, ccfc agree to pay an amount to be agreed and Sisu sign it off. Can’t take more than a day surely as the rest can be resolved later.

And some of you people accuse me of being naive!!!!! Lol

The one thing that annoys me is ccc taking an interview with cwr. To say what amounted to about time and we had nothing to do with it. Lol

Simon has clearly received good solid information so he’s a journalist and fan and he’s shared what he’s been told so no axe with him

Think ccfc have been clear what they desire and it’s been clear for a while that conversations have been progressing and that there were no large insurmountable problems to resolve but these things take time and with no fans where’s the urgency?

I would imagine wasps and ccfc are as frustrated with someone giving details to the media as we are. How good would it have been for a joint press conference tomorrow or whenever where a long term agreement is announced and a new era of mutual beneficial use of the Ricoh is announced from next season?

Having said that I’m sure there’s plenty of people who know enough people for titbits and rumours to leak out. Pretty sure for Simon to publish stuff it’s a little bit more than rumour.

Also pretty sure that the parties have not sought to leak any information prior to any announcement

It’s been all over the nationals tv papers etc interesting to see the next move but as we know with these parties until it’s official I’m not getting too hyped up...it’s clearly not a done deal

I think CWR have been fed the information probably by Wasps to stop Sisu pulling out at the last minute (without public backlash). Only reason why CWR would’ve been the ones to release it.

It’s a good working theory but it’s absolutely untrue as I’m sure Simon would confirm if he were on here

So who has told CWR to put it out there and why?

Doubt it. Leaking info would be more likely to see the animosity and bad blood return and someone pulling out of the deal. Even if it was said SISU pulled out, SISU would deny it and blame it on Wasps and then it's the usual 'he said, she said' and people believing whichever side they want to.

It has been leaked to Gilbert from someone though hasn’t it? Surely they’d have announced it themselves if they’re were ready and wanted to

This is exactly why I'd prefer it all confirmed ASAP. Too many parties with big egos to balls it all up.

I know people are saying it'll be fine, but no one knows that for certain.

Indeed it must have. Just doubt the reason for it would be to prevent SISU pulling out, or even vice-versa. If anything it's more likely to scupper the agreement...

It’s the only motivation I can imagine for leaking it. I guess we’ll never know the real reason

I also don't believe you'd say "an agreement has been made", then say " it needs to be checked over by the legal teams". If it hasn't been written down and checked by the legal teams it's not been agreed at all.

The legal teams would have been the ones to draft it no doubt

Surely, with all the euphoria and press coverage, one party would look pretty bad if this did not happen?

Not really sure what the benefit of leaking it to CWR would be though? Unless it's literally just to be the first to get in on the big exclusive?

I have no idea what is going on, but I doubt 'looking bad' will be of any concern to whoever it is and they can always deflect blame elsewhere . Lets just hope its purely a timing thing and just need to be patient.

Hopefully the fact Wasps and City have made no comment at all means it really is close to being signed off.

I did wonder if a new stadium sponsor was close to being announced and us going back was all part of a big stadium relaunch.

Yep, it's not Wasps, it's not CCFC or Sisu and it's not to do with stopping anyone pulling out.

Personal benefit. Being the first to get an exclusive is always going to be a good thing in journalism. I bet loads of people listened to the show that normally wouldn't.

Sorry but thats rubbish, Wasps were in north London (Hampstead/Ealing) for the first 50 years, then 73 years in Sudbury.
Is 73 years not long enough for you to embed in a local community then?
I mean 8 years and 73 are nearly comparable!

So the time to get angry was 1992. Why are you going on about it 30 years later?

I am certain Gilbert found out about it from the recent EFL meeting agenda
All the other EFL clubs know about it

Interesting how the online store had a sticker pack on sale at the weekend which included a Ricoh Arena sticker.
I started a post on here, 2 hours later the image of the stickers were removed
