Question:
Does the Community have the right to put a bid in for this or asset transfer?

Disaster.
The Ricoh Arena was built for Coventry City.
We can only hope that the person behind the bid pulls off his rubber mask to reveal Tim Fisher.
How the council can justify selling the city's football stadium is beyond me, now everyone can see their true colours but some will still defend them.
I honestly dont see how it would be good business sense to continue with the "london" part of the name , for example it would be extremely offputting for anybody in the midlands to support this team , as im guessing they will be hoping on future generations of local support .
midland wasps would make geographical and business sense
Remember those cars councillors used to have with loud speakers and they would drive round saying vote for me, vote for me. If only we could hijack one of those, or tip it over or something. That would be a good protest.
I have this ridiculous hope in me that this consortium will aquire ccfc down the line , i really should learn
A deal was always there to be had, you just had to be reasonable about it. But SISU had to try and be clever and dick everyone around.
i wouldn't have minded them selling a few players if it had funded a long lease at the Ricoh. Building from new will cost a lot more and hold also rats of future pitfalls for the club?
I think most knew all had blame attached in some part to the clubs fall, but Sisu cant make statements like the ship has sailed, we are building our own ground we are not interested or will intervene in selling process, then cry that they are the victim... They have claimed this for too long, they have wronged the fans and misdirected to many times to be trusted and this is why the CCC are voting on an alternative route..
Sisu have given so many messages that now they even are not on the same page TF wanting answers but JS saying she is not interested,,,i dont agree with the move but what options are Sisu handing the CCC ,, court dates!!!!!!!!!!
This argument that the council have 'no option' is just rubbish. Also, SISU are not crying about it are they? Again, they seem indifferent. It is the fans that suffer again - and some people are applauding the council for selling our home to a bunch of people none of us know because of an empty threat to build a new stadium - which we all know would never have happened while the option to buy the Ricoh was still there - an option which has now gone. SISU, or whoever owns us in future (and a change of ownership is lightyears away now) probably will have to build a new ground if we are to be viable as a club with ambitions of rising up the league.
It is an absolute fucking outrage. The council have failed in their duty of responsibility to the people of this city. As the ex-council leader said last night, CCC have behaved appallingly, and huge questions have to be asked.
Your anger also needs to be aimed at our owners.
There is only one solution counter bid or even at least express a desire to do so.
There you go, Don. Corrected it for you.
If this deal goes through and damages CCFC and CRFC we need to show our considerable anger to both the council and our owners.

Then they offered 2 million

I agree. It is an absolute fucking disgrace.
All the shit we have been through. All the way from going back on agreements to taking us to Northampton because they wanted the arena. Administration. Selling our best players and not replacing them. I could go on all day. And all in the name of getting the Ricoh. And now that there would be nothing to stop SISU from getting it if they would back down from the bullshit that they have been coming out with all they say is that they don't want it. What the fuck are they playing at?
There is something to stop them - a small matter that's its being done today. - oh and this was a bid they were excluded from. The offer of a 250 year lease was never made.
Sisu have been free to bid at anytime in the last 7 years so let's not pretend otherwise.
So were the previous owners.
And SISU blameless because they don't want the Ricoh?

250 year lease.... 100% ownership.
For a rugby club with a lower average attendance than ours, has no European competition and is in the lower reaches of the Premiership.
SISU are in on it....

How can anyone stop them making a bid?

They have probably signed an exclusivity deal to stop them negotiating with anyone else. Too late now

That's true enough. I probably should have used past tense in my response.
I'm past tense. I'm positively taut beyond comprehension.
