I guess we’ll never know for sure but what is clear is senior members of the council were at least toying with the idea.
Reeves told The Times that Coventry City Council had engaged in “very bona fide conversations” with Hottinger about its proposal. “We were interested. If it had got through on approval at the Wasps board, we would have gone to the Council,” he said. “It would have had a fair chance. If they had said: ‘Yes, the board really likes it’, we would have moved on to the next stage.”
Surely if what Duggins says is even vaguely true then Reeves is out of a job
A hospital was talked about for that old gas works site years ago.Just thought, maybe they are talking about long ago, before the stadium was even built?

Can anyone remove the paywall on this?
There’s an interesting line on the Twitter thread about the council providing funding to Wasps but cannot see it.
I've spoken to Derek since the club went into administration and I've never heard him sound so upset. He's always been a lovely, upbeat, and positive chap, with a genuine love for Rugby in general and Wasps in particular. To imply, as this article does, that he was happy to see the club go under because of a personal grudge is absolutely obscene. As things stand he is out of pocket by a vast amount of money.
If he says that there was nothing about this that suggested it was a genuine and compelling offer then that's good enough for me.
I'd love to know who on the board it was that decided that this was a story that should be in the papers.
If Reeves is directly involved with Ashely the club are f*cked.
Reeves should be investigated.
Reeves need to make a statement or he has to be toast.You have the leader saying absolutely no intention ever and then the CEO actively proposing it to Richardson and quoting it has a good chance of going through.
How is it even possible?

He wasn’t saying he didn’t want to accept to let the club die. He said there were other offers which seemed more credible.
He didn’t believe the bid was genuine, apparently.
Grab us a pint of stella, a pint of carling and a 2 pint glass please mate

Take out anything to do with CCFC, Wasps or the stadium and there's still numerous things that have gone on at the council while he has been chief exec that should have seen him lose his job.The bloke is seemingly bulletproof.
How he is anywhere near any takeover deal is laughable.
Yet theres still some on here who refute things when i say ACL is just a front for the council.
They're still pulling the strings
Maybe. Just maybe, some of you on here will start to believe me

I underestimated the councils conniving, won't make that mistake again.
