Rubbish. Nothing to suggest that is the case. I'm guessing like us he probably just wants to know what the long term plan is.

So he can formulate his own long term plan? It works both ways.

Some people seem desperate for Robins to quit so they can have a go at SISU.

I dont think anyone wants him to go but when your selling players for good money in January & he can’t bring anyone in as we’ve been taken away from the city with poor crowds how long would any manager who’s
Not gonna be short of offers stick around for ?

He knows our situation, and he's known it for a while.
And he has bought players in.

Ok so Robins has had talks with her I’m guesting the McCallum transfer & Ricoh is mainly what was discussed she’s then given him a verbal backing which I’m certain is we will be back at Ricoh next season if that doesn’t happen and this verbal backing doesn’t happen what then ? Sell more players to balance books ?

You'll probably inadvertently end up sitting next to Robins' parents at the next match anyway, so they can fill you in on his plans then.

Nonsense, it’s about as likely as no players signing for us because we were playing at St Andrews.

I don’t think Robins is as keen about returning to the Ricoh as you might think.

And we're doing quite good as well. It's not like the off the field situation is causing major issues on the field.

We sell one decent player every year...even when we were at the Ricoh.

We’ve done that in the past. It’s easier to move on second time round. At Andrews it was easier for the additional 4K that go there now. Different reasons of course.

The guy spoke about it at the press conference. He wasn’t being water boarded so my guess is he was being genuine.
The big issue with the Ricoh is the pitch...let’s keep it to football. The stadium needs a large crowd to create a good atmosphere as well.

Indeed. Forget nice boozers and nice pitches and all that other cobblers and excuses for playing out of Coventry-we need to be back, plain and simple.
I think Robins has boxed clever and is testing the water by mentioning that we need to be back ASAP.
He mentions season ticket sales need to be forthcoming if we do-well it will be + 1 here for a start.

Can’t see it personally, we will just cut cloth accordingly. Whole thing is a complete mess, but we won’t go under if not in cov next season

not saying we will go under but the club can't grow while we're outside the City.

Ah, well of course your spot on then, but that’s obvious. Also won’t grow paying rent at the Ricoh.

But more likely with fans attending in Coventry. What has been absent from our club has been momentum. We need to build the club from within Coventry with good results and positivity as it seems to one step forward and a giant leap back all the time.

What Riyadh said.
I agree about paying rent at the Ricoh but it's the better of 2 shitty options.
While we don't have access to othef revenue streams open bums on seats is the only real money spinner we have any chance of.
More likely to get improved crowds at the Ricoh.

Importantly, we were willing to provide an indemnity to confirm we have acted in good faith to the extent Wasps were willing to provide the same; they would not agree to such a clause.”

This keeps coming up.
Am I misreading this or is it Wasps won't sign an indemnity saying they acted in good faith?
Or Wasps don't care about good faith indemnities?
Or what?
It's been in many of the articles on this subject.

He has also been highly critical of the council before regarding the situation, he knows the score.

I think you’re projecting. He’s mentioned it repeatedly throughout the season and that it’s hindering his squad building plans.

Just need several acres in an accessible part of Cov at a reasonable price and planning permission and tens of millions of pounds.

Simple.

He knows what he’s been told by the club, let’s not pretend he’s following the JR and analysing Council meeting minutes.

I seem to remember the club saying it was an option. Ask them.

As fans we all know this isn’t an option and won’t happen.

Cant watch right now but if it’s what I think it is I’m not sure how it disproves my point.
