Probably the next deal from WASPs will be 1 Million a season!!
Unless it’s Dale of courseWhat's your point?
Yes, if somebody wanted to buy the club they would need to speak to SISU.
You will be gloating? or are you not a fan?Which is where our fans will be gloating that it has really shown SISU

If it's any consolation it won't be long till they are out of existence and there won't be many tears shed in the rugby world.Free flags!
Being serious I find the response from Wasps supporters very disappointing. For a club that we are told was very close to going out of existence themselves they seem very happy to let their club send us into oblivion.

Do you ever have anything positive to say. Its getting quite boring now.Anyone can sell out out at Wembley with a catchment like ours. At best we have a loyal fan base of 15,000 in relatively good times. We are almost identical to Birmingham City we are hardly a sleeping giant
Trust Statement:
The Sky Blue Trust have this morning issued the following press statement
.
"The Sky Blue Trust is in full agreement with the sentiments raised below by our fellow devoted Coventry City fans in The Jimmy Hill Way group.
We include ourselves in the "Sky Blue community"referred to, a group of people who care passionately about OUR football club and who continue to be dismayed that this saga continues and which now appears to have reached its most serious phase yet to the point that the very future of the club is now in jeapordy.
We have been saying for a very long time now that the Ricoh Arena is the only possible option, even when ridiculous talk of mythical new stadiums was being touted by Otium Entertainment Group director and Coventry City Chairman Tim Fisher.
Now the club,our football club, finds itself in a parlous state with desperation setting in as the clock ticks towards potential oblivion.
Sky Blues fans are rightly concerned but clearly that concern isn't shared by our owners SISU who are prepared to play "Russian Roulette" with the club’s very existence to pursue their legal challenges, however hopeless and damaging they may seem.
Like the Jimmy Hill Way group, we will join with the Sky Blue Community but not SISU, Tim Fisher or anybody connected with their group of companies, in calling for the owners of Wasps to agree a deal for Coventry City to stay in their rightful home at the Ricoh and appeal to their better nature despite their assertions, reiterated only yesterday by Chief Executive Nick Eastwood that they were not prepared to talk whilst legal action is ongoing.
However we also want to make it perfectly clear that this whole situation could and should be simply resolved by SISU doing the right thing and calling a halt now to their legal action."
Is that a joke? Shockingly bad from the Trust if that is genuine.Trust Statement:

After all the comments on here, suggestions of things that could be done to ensure we have a club next season to just use it as an excuse to have another pop at SISU, which won't even register with Sepalla, is a terrible response.
Where's it from? Social Media or their site?
I honestly though Torch had knocked it up as a bit of a piss take...Is that a joke? Shockingly bad from the Trust if that is genuine.

Nothing on the trust website, think someone at Cov Mad is on the wind up. Even the trust couldn't come out with a statement that weak for a situation as serious this.
What's your point?
Yes, if somebody wanted to buy the club they would need to speak to SISU.
I'm not talking about buying the club, its if somebody wanted to do a deal with the club. Just highlighting how your analogy doesn't work.
My point? I just want a deal to be done for CCFC to remain at the Ricoh, I'm not naive to think that this statement hasn't been signed off or has had no input from SISU, its quite clear that the recent distancing from CCFC of SISU has been done to help improve relations and that is a good thing in terms of getting what we want. Let's just hope it somehow works.
If somebody wants to do a deal with the club they'd speak to the club wouldn't they? I can't imagine for one minute Sepalla sorting out details of the retail contract with Just Sports or speaking to the company that does our programs.I'm not talking about buying the club, its if somebody wanted to do a deal with the club.
I think you would find that many on here would enjoy sending Wasps to onblivion but the reality is our own masters are looking to send us there too!Free flags!

Would Just Sports do a deal with CCFC if owner of the club was simultaneously taking them to court?
And that is where you lose me at point 2Not sure how that is relevant.
1. Wasps aren't being taken to court, it's the council.
2. Wasps have already shown they would do a deal with CCFC while the legals are ongoing.
And that is where you lose me at point 2
Why should it matter what Wasps previously did? They have been clear about what would happen if the legal s continued. I get and respect that. I don't like it but i don't need a Hubble telescope to see what could be the outcome of litigation.
I have no desire to see Wasps fold.I think you would find that many on here would enjoy sending Wasps to onblivion but the reality is our own masters are looking to send us there too!
I understand that but they drew the line in the sand and have stated what could happen.Because it shows that "you cant do business with somebody taking you to court" is nonsense.
I understand that but they drew the line in the sand and have stated what could happen.
That Trust statement shows that we need an alternative voice.
You'd have to ask them but its hardly unusual in the business world. For example Samsung and Apple still do business with each despite being involved in numerous lawsuits against each other around the world since 2011.Would Just Sports do a deal with CCFC if owner of the club was simultaneously taking them to court?
It matters because Wasps are claiming in their statement that they can't agree a new deal. Not that they have taken a decision that they won't. Its a subtle but hugely important difference.And that is where you lose me at point 2
