Colin Murray very supportive of our Ricoh situation on the EFL show tonight (extended highlights!) and also Michael Brown calling for a change of ownership.

Didn’t they say that we should get new owners who could draw a line and take the club forward ?

Because more than one party is in the wrong and all should be held accountable for the cluster fuck that is our situation.

Magwitch you have contributed to enough threads on the matter, so you must understand by now that the club’s owners are not solely responsible for the current situation?
It’s all very well having our profile raised in the media, but that Times article and now the Colin Murray show are still only telling half the story!

The thing is SISU aren’t attempting to take the Club out of the area. City are having to find a second choice because Wasps/Council won’t talk to the Club.

I don’t expect Colin Murray to know the total scenario, it’s not as if anyone else does, but we are past the point of saying “it’s SISU’s fault and everything changes if they sell”

But it is safe to say that if SISU put the club up for sale we wouldn’t be playing in Birmingham next season.

Its safe to say that if London Wasps fucked off back to London we wouldn't be playing in Birmingham next season
Its also safe to say if our councillors had some pride for their city and its history we wouldn't be playing in Birmingham next season

Perhaps you should ask Robins why he has directly and openly criticised your beloved council in the past.

And who is going to want to buy a club playing second fiddle to a London rugby club and forever have a glass ceiling over our heads?

True, but is that necessarily better, one thing I have agreed with SISU on throughout the years they’ve been here, is that CCFC needs a % of or full ownership of its own stadium.

Selling to Hoffman who wants to secure a new tenancy deal with Wasps isn’t the answer, Wasps are under scrutiny from the FCA and the Council are cracking, something is going on and City need to bide their time.

And that’s not even considering all of that nonsense with that fantasist and the fact he joined up with SISU initially too.

The art of ‘Not Being Seen’.

This is Mrs. B.J. Smegma, of 13, The Crescent, Belmont. She is also a Wasps/Council lobbyist.

Can you guess where she is ?

Agreed. Absolutely need a stake at least in the ground.
Do we know Hoffmans group haven't agreed such? Not enough details are known for me to fully back it.

Because the Hoffman consortium have already met with WASPS and have said there is a deal to be done for both CCFC and WASPS to exist at the Ricoh.

Putting the club up for sale is a completely different thing to accepting a bid that doesn't meet their valuation.

The club is up for sale, all clubs are up for sale at all times if the right bid comes in.

We're as far away from the club being sold as we've ever been. The prospect of a super-rich saviour stepping in disappeared the day Wasps took control. As an investment we've never looked less attractive. As a potential vanity project we're equally unattractive. We're fucked basically.

Wasps hardly rolling in it though. If this super rich saviour was out there what would it take to buy back Ricoh?

Sisu (who own MY club) have had all season to sort this out they knew the rules, they thought Wasps would buckle just because they relented last season.They have not so therefore they are going to take MY club away.People keep saying the Council and Wasps the council only own the freehold unless there is a covenant they cannot tell
Wasps they have got to let us play.If they had no intention of dropping the legals why was all this sorted earlier. As for if Wasps went bust or otherwise moved and Sisu bought the Stadium which i very much doubt they we would still be having to pay money to them do you think we would get a great deal? I think not.They should just drop the legals and not just try and get a deal try and buy half the Stadium .I know Wasps have debts to deal with but negotiations would reflect that.Try working together but then again Sisu can't not in their nature

Half of this is hard to decipher. The other half is bollocks.
