We are getting nowhere at the Ricoh fast are we?

Why shouldn't Wasps be renting or moving where they belong? Why is it Coventry belongs in Coventry but we can ship others into Coventry.

Is that you Ann?

Perhaps I should throw this in.

It all started two years ago – and the date is of great significance. According to Coventry RFC president Peter Rossborough, speaking in a recent interview with the BBC, Richardson met with him two years ago to discuss a potential ‘merger’ between the two clubs – perhaps with one eye on the Ricoh. Crucially, this was well before Richardson had declared any commercial interest in Wasps, suggesting he had an interest in the Ricoh before taking over Wasps.

Oh no, it's all about the Ricoh, and getting it undervalue, and using a sporting team to get that. What? Not the best thing for a sports club?

Or this:

All the time the club were trying to do a deal and being obstructed... while Mutton was saying he'd never sell to a hedge fund.

it appears an owner with a murky trail of accounts in Malta is OK though...

FAO Inklee boy: stop mocking Grendel.

He contributes 30 posts every hour, night and day, despite having a job as a senior executive (on £100k p.a.) and a very active social life. Not many other mortals could achieve that.
He provides valuable analysis and insight into the problems surrounding the club. For instance we would never have known that SISU deliberately lost the Judicial Review without Grendel tipping us off.
Any more of this mockery and he and his 'drinking colleagues' from his favourite wine bar will search you out.

Correct sorry but most fans still blame them for this abortion and rightly so.

As long as they are here they will never be forgiven for their actions, so better they leave before there is nothing left.

It has nothing to do with CCFC. Sisu have shown their true colours yet again. No Ambition, No Vision, No diplomacy Nothing, just blame anyone they can for their misgivings and some even fall for it. Can't even find a piece of land after nearly 2 years can't be that many places to chose from in the area they are talking about, Anne Lucus was right Council shouldn't run a sports stadium the bit she missed out was nor should a Hedge fund run a Football Club.....

Totally ignoring the fact they've been parachuted in by Ann Lucas, the person apparently against ripping a club away from its community. Wasps owners and the Council are bad guys fro doing what they've done. Yes, and so are SISU. The main difference is the council and owners of Wasps have done it permanently.

In the world we live in, a League 1 club cannot afford the Ricoh. We use it at most 25-26 Times a year. We need a second team playing there. If SISU had gone for a long-term lease and then got Wasps in as a tenant, I would be in favour of it. It would be well done SISU.

i didn't say we ( CCFC ) are getting nowhere at the Ricoh. I have said often enough we should be at the Ricoh.

I think Wasps is a different case to CCFC. Simple really. We have a perfectly good sports stadium with enough seats for PL should we ever get there. We should be working on staying at the Ricoh, not talking crap and appealing the JR.

thats the difference between us and Wasps.

Why is it that now we've been presented with solid evidence that ALL parties involved with our club are complete and utter cunts, there is still no fan unity?

I'm genuinely perplexed.

I haven't read all the posts so this may have been mentioned already but I wonder if the continuing cost, hassle and effort of court case after court case led to CCC just deciding to sell up. This resolves the JR appeal in my eyes, public monies returned as requested by 'hedge fund voice of the people' so no case to answer.

Im pissed off with CCC and gutted about what's happened but SISU have been a shambles for years and it's their actions, and threats that have led to this position. What a feckin mess !!!

lets hope they deliver on the new stadium but I still can't work out why they couldnt offer for the Ricoh ?! Just doesn't make sense

Assuming you're right and it isn't possible then I agree its disgraceful.

Assuming you're wrong and it is possible then SISU need to move their arses into gear and purchase it

No I've quoted a bbc journalist from midlands today - ill e mail him its bullshit - as clearly it doesn't fit your agenda.

On a lighter note lets all have a sweepstake as to when No Future With Sisu will actually make a football related post.

I say - January 18th 2024.

You do not need to as the council has said all the media SPECULATION is just not helping. In the media it is that, but in your case it is just BULLSHIT. I have highlighted the words that are important for you to learn.

Just like Wasps had got 100% of the stadium already?

I remember yesterday morning when Samo and I had a quick discussion on if the 50% was still available as just about everyone thought that it had all gone to wasps. It ended up being true. Or if you listened to Les Reid there was going to be up to 14 councilors voting against the deal. He was right if you count 0 as up to 14. Reliable Reid

The only ones that know what is going on are the ones involved in making the deal. Just like you tell us that you have a top job for a company negotiating deals.......and don't have a clue that they are going to be sponsoring Wasps. Yet someone on here told us about it a couple of months ago ointlaugh:

Try doing what most of us do and work out what is going on from the bits that come out from those involved.

You forgot Grendulls fact that no one else is interested in buying the Ricoh yet here we are and when he told me that SISU deliberately lost the JR (presumably if they'd won they would have appealed that decision) to continue distressing ACL when not that many weeks later the club moved back and started paying rent again (presumably paying rent is a method of distressing us mere mortals don't understand).

Basically SISU have got it wrong at every stage and Grendull can't live with that.

Unless SISU make an attempt to purchase the Higgs share we will never no one way or the other what the truth is. As fans rather than speculating on why SISU can't do something we should be concentrating on what we expect SISU to do or at least stride to do. All Grendull is doing is letting them off the hook without knowing any facts.

Was it not Grendel who said the ACL talks with a possible sports tenant were equivalent to SISU's Stadium plans? If that is right, we're off on a bus ride to the country in the future to see CCFC.

Business expert hopeful on Cwr later to confirm the legal position.

PWKH bin on confirms wants wasps to buy - the plan is they have 100% ownership. I think,must check, he confirmed £2.7 million.


Confirms they want wasps due to regeneration opportunities.

Hope you and obtuse wipe that egg off your face before you go to work.

It wasn't the £2m pound offer Joy made for the Higgs share I took issue with, that was for Higgs to decide if it was fair or not. It was the ridiculous counter claim that forced the Higgs/SISU case needlessly to Crown Court costing the Higgs considerably more in legal fees.

As you've found a new moral compassI aassume you won't be going anymore if SISU franchise us to South Birmingham in a half baked "Stadium" that has no chance of giving the club the 365day income SISU keep blabbing about.

If their, SISU's, ( apparently ) non-existent business plan didn't include anything for the benefit of Coventry, then maybe Higgs couldn't justify a reduced price for the share. Perhaps Wasps have put forward a better case to Higgs ( and not sued them ).
