It isn't at all though is it? Most on here now think that the council and Higgs are tossers.
I don't think you get what I am saying?
For weeks I have said SISU should have bid high ( charity would have both a legal and moral obligation to accept the offer) To do this though SISU would need to bid significantly more than 2.77. Also prove you have the funds and you can pay in one go, so trust can't be used as an excuse.
Then also say you match anything charity or community based that Wasps have offered.
That IMO would be the first hurdle.
Make it a public bid wasps bid was already out there in the public domain.
Once the bid was in it would then be over to the people of Coventry to apply pressure on Wasps not to Veto the bid.
This would be based on the pressure of a children's charity and a home for CCFC.
We may not have succeeded however we would have had far mor chance than matching Wasps over and saying we will do community stuff but we do it in partnership with the charity ( who I am sure are aware hate us)
We out in a bid doomed to failure.
Regarding the charity yes I wish actions had not been taken to devalue ACL. They accepted the offer from wasps so they seem happy about it. I and I imagine anyone with an ounce if decency would have liked it to have been 6.5 million going to the charity.
