Not sure if this has already been posted, but according to a 2 week old report attributed to Sky, NEC has already made a bid. Clearly not enough.

Exhibition venue giant could be about to launch a bid for the home of stricken Premiership rugby side Wasps and Championshire football club Coventry City.
The NEC Group has lodged a bid for the Coventry Building Society (CBS) Arena last week, according to reports from Sky News.
Blackrock also hold a big chunk of Hilton so already have an interest at CBS
Yeh, I’d imagine he wouldn’t be divulging SISUs game plan in all this with some fans at a train station.If he was spouting off to fans at a train station I’d only see any expectation of privacy. Just saying.
That's what I thought, contradictory, but from what I can see, they seem like a fairly serious outfit.Erm?
Erm?
Wheres my PM at?PM'd

Where's Moonstone in all of this?
Not my first choice, or even my fifth or sixth, but I'll still take this over being owned by SISU while renting the ground from the bugs.Update from my Gilbert leak mate:
Rumour abound at the council that when admin happens SISU are in pole position
Americans have been in and around the council house having meetings,nothing to do with Dawkins made up yank, American SISU investors. Were also at the game last night
Someone could of course usurp, but turns out no one is interested at the mo
Maybe those on here who said SISU have been quiet for a reason were right.
Imagine......

there's def concerns around SISU ending up owning the ground but on the positive side this could be the beginning of the end for them.Not my first choice, or even my fifth or sixth, but I'll still take this over being owned by SISU while renting the ground from the bugs.
Many different outcomes to be fair. Some good, some bad.If SISU taking over ACL the only thing you can see it as is a positive, fingers crossed caveat. Surely it will be the first step of them selling up.
I know a few music venues that have had issues like this and they just get down the cash and carry and stock up on cans. Can't be that difficult to just get Dhillons in if needed.Think there's a bar but not sure about food.
Just mean if it's an issue of having it, pretty sure the administrator could sell a few pitches to local businesses who would jump at the chance.

get the council to stump up for any repairs needed, get the lease on the cheap, then sell the club and stadium off. that's probably the best return they'll ever get and a lot less hassle than hanging around for the next 20 years taking small chunks of money out every year.
To state the obvious the Council would just have to ensure there was tightly worded restrictions/covenants on the land that the ownership had to stay with the football club. If I was a senior officer/politician at the Council this is the obvious huge risk given Sisu's track record. Personally I think the Council could progress with a sale, come out of the whole shitstorm positively and protect the asset foe the City moving forward.Update from my Gilbert leak mate:

It's alright, it's a secret between Fisher and umpteen people at a train station, and Fisher would of course expect them all to keep quiet, and that's why he'd talk to them in a public setting...Wheres my PM at?

Words rarely usedNot gonna lie I’d prefer Mike Ashley
Blackpool fan in peace.please excuse the possible naivety here (you know your situation). However, if Wasps go into administration and the administrator needs to pay bills, might you have a chance of buying the ground at a knockdown price?
I do support you in this btw.
I think our fans need to prepare themselves that if something happens and we can continue to play at the arena. There wont be any food and drink and limited staff for parking and so on.
Packed lunch! (School rules apply though, obviously, no sweets or fizzy drinks allowed).

Not gonna lie I’d prefer Mike Ashley, but if there’s involvement of money with Sisu and it finds it way to the squad and not just the arena I’ll take it. We desperately need cash before Jan.

So there could be new words…Fuck the Wasps, Love SISU, Love the Council, and the Villa…Oh, hang onthere's def concerns around SISU ending up owning the ground but on the positive side this could be the beginning of the end for them.

Still annoyed I wasn’t allowed a flask of tea in the ground last night. they’d probably confiscate your babybel for being a potential missile.
