The take from Simon Gilbert was heard it before and gave some history that wasn’t bad. Everyone seems to be talking in very balanced way about who is responsible and who need to play ball to play at Ricoh@Sky Blue Pete was that all the Trust or did Gilbert have any words of encouragement to say
Trust
Surprised but excited
Level of cynicism - baby step
Need planning permission, infrastructure and finance
Sisu are investing in the club
Partnership with university makes it feel different. Also a unique opportunity
Location - space to build on the land is good
One of the sites that’s always been muted with potential
Reporter trying to get him to say negative stuff
Is it a negotiating tactic for talks with wasps?
Yes but still sees this as a long term solution to return. Talked about efl 3 year plan. Possible but he’s looking at the positives.
Short term - personally didn’t go to Northampton or Birmingham club should play In coventry. Fan base 7000. Potential at Ricoh of 18000 in the championship
He thinks there is a deal to be done
He’s spoken well there. Ample opportunity to be negative and the reporter asking questions to push him that way but he didn’t take them
Agreed let’s seeThere is not really a lot else he can say given the general optimism around the statement from the club - there still has to be pressure applied to facilitate a return to the City and they have to challenge nonsense that we have seen from the Council on social media and also Wasps as its absurd even if this happens to believe the club can survive outside Coventry for 5 years

I don’t believe the club can survive 5 years out of Coventry and there’s no guarantee EFL will allow it or Birmingham City. I try to be positive, there’s the land there’s a good potential partnership with WU but when I look at planning, the logistics, getting too and from having to build roads etc. my optimism dies.There is not really a lot else he can say given the general optimism around the statement from the club - there still has to be pressure applied to facilitate a return to the City and they have to challenge nonsense that we have seen from the Council on social media and also Wasps as its absurd even if this happens to believe the club can survive outside Coventry for 5 years
It’s a major project but it’s not impossible in 3-5 years the chief planner was saying there’s a process that’s structured and difficult but not impossibleI don’t believe the club can survive 5 years out of Coventry and there’s no guarantee EFL will allow it or Birmingham City.
