No idea, as a football club all we can do is hope that the franchise fails.

I can't belive a single Coventry taxpayer would not want this investigated. We're not tallking about a small difference we're talking about 10s of millions at a time when local services are being cut.

Either the council have failed the taxpayers or Wasps are supplying false information, which as it was included in their bond prospectus is not on.

Worse than that, CCC sold 50% of ACL for £2.77m, that 50% is now valued at £24.25m, that's a 775% increase in the space of 6 months!

Can Wasps really claim to have added that much value to the Ricoh?

I personally think £5(ish) mill for the stadium was shit money. I didn't want sisu to pay nothing for it, and I certainly didn't want a london rugby club to pay nothing for it. Was the same deal offered to CCFC when they offered it to Wasps?

Yes but we all know that the council will just point to the statements from the club/Sisu saying that they were building a new stadium and didn't want the Ricoh. Whether those statements should have been made is another matter.

We all know that sisu would have snapped the council's hand off to get it at the price the franchise did.

The council told the club time and time again it wasn't for sale.

I'm sure (although I'm not going to find a quote from Lucas at this time of night) Lucas will have said something like they're open to sensible offers but haven't had any, just to cover themselves. Really wouldn't surprise me at all, the hypocritical gits.

The freehold wasn't for sale. The freehold wasn't sold.

SISU were invited for talks on the future of the Ricoh. But they were like some on here that thought it had become a white elephant because of SISU's tactics of holding everyone to ransom including ourselves. Yet some want to blame anyone but SISU.

Look it's not SISU's fault that SISU never made a bid for the Ricoh after being publicly invited to make a bid. Someone made them not bid for it. The CET, CCC, ACL, Wasps, AT, BR, MM, JE, Higgs, the fans or someone else. Probably.

If you notice I asked a few pages back? For somebody who just wants to talk football you haven't posted much on the football threads?

That's just bullshit. The last time that the council made a statement about the availability of ACL they did it very publicly. AL even got on a train and went to JS to hear her offer. What was that offer?

Why you continue to spout the lie that it wasn't for sale is beyond me. It was on TV and everything. Do you really think that no one will notice you're lying?

So you honestly believe that ccc offered the complex to the football club for the same price they sold it to the franchise for?

Lucas has as much credibility as Tim Fisher

Strange, you moaned about people not talking about football but you haven't bothered with any of the football threads after the great game yesterday. Would have thought if you couldn't make it you would have viewed the match thread or the ratings to see what people thought?

Maybe you will next time we lose? The % of football to politics threads has changed a lot in the past few months.

The same as a few posters have gone mia.

The thing is how can anyone take you seriously when you can't even count? 80% of the regular forum posters are against you.
It's only you, Tony the Troll and a few others who want success for the franchised team from London to succeed

It's easy to wind you guys up because you are so set on Wasps annihilation.
I've stuck to my guns about Wasps actually being our way out this mess.
You guys want Wasps to fail with no visibility on Sisu's intentions.
I guess Sisu want the same as you guys so you are effectively following them blindly into the abyss.

I don't want you to take me seriously because at that level it means I would have had a lobotomy.

Haha I don't think I've ever been wound up by you to be fair.

You are a hypocritical fool, who puts his own gain above the football club he claims to support. There is nothing to suggest Wasps are our saviours and they repeatably denied being interested in the club.

You are the equivalent of a Northampton fan claiming that sisu were their saviours.

Their not interested in buying the club but we need to tread water for a few years whilst we increase our profile and other possibilities will become available. During that period Wasps will certainly be in charge at the Ricoh.

Bullshitting again. Show me a post anywhere where I have said I want Wasps to succeed and I'll donate £50 to a charity of your choice and if you can't you donate £50 to a charity of my choice. Put your money where your big mouth is. I dare you to accept the challenge.

If someone on a football forum never posts on football but only on a sub-forum dedicated to discussing the stadium owners and the said poster spent all their time rubbishing anyone who criticised said stadium owners what conclusion would you draw?

Your "bet" is absurd. I could say to you find any evidence I have ever praised SISU as owners and you would return empty handed. In fact the opposite is true and many have started lambasting said owners - far more than you actually. The amusing thing though is I could say to your best friend Italia that I would bet £1 million I could find a post from him where he praised SISU and I think he will go offline. He was the biggest SISU cocksucker on this forum - I guess Wasps car parking changed that.

Do a poll Tony. Poll Do you think I Skybluetony (known as Tony the Troll) do not want Wasps to fail based on my posting history?

Let's see the results
