Ryton being sold is a good shout to be honest.

Going to change our name to Small Heath Harriers, play at St. Andrews until SISU secure the land opposite, knock down Morrisons and the other shops (maybe in year 2050) and then build a state of the art stadium. change our colours to red and yellow and nickname to Nomads. Non existent surf flag changed to ‘Sent to Small Heath’...with picture of Joy. Messi has said he is fed up at Barcelona and needs a new challenge and is willing to take a pay cut for the new Small Heath team but is only willing to join if Dabo is switched to midfield and Danny Fox signed.

Now that would be a shock...and if it is announced tomorrow don’t shoot the messenger as I’ve just made it up (after afternoon tea with Joy at Coombe Abbey)

Same, the only benefit I can see from the attempts to reverse the Ricoh sale are getting the Ricoh (as opposed to a cash settlement), what would we do with two stadia?
Click to expand...
That would be the council’s problem. I’d imagine if they actually built a new stadium and state aid was found.

then SISU would sue the council for damages, probably argue the cost of a stadium build then ride off into the sunset.

what happens to the Ricoh is then not our problem

Ah got ya. Forgot about the whole state aid as a route to civil claim thing. I was just thinking about the direct remedies.

I mean my process was the long shot process - I’m guessing that’s the plan anyway.

sounds more ludicrous every time I read it.. and I back them in the state aid case

There is also news about the stadium but not what you would think. i.e not the obvious assumption.

New training ground?

True, true. Dawkins said a while ago that the Ryton sale had gone through & we know they'd already identified a new site.
Think tomorrow is more likely to be O'Hare but think training ground announcement will be soon too.

Would they have let Overson go ahead with his spending on facilities if they were moving?
I appreciate the stuff he paid for is transferable.

You would think he would be pissed off, unless it is going with them and was part of the plan.

I’m still convinced that he’s involved more then is let on. We seem to be a bit more free with money in the last 2 years, we spent the 2nd biggest amount on agents last season, whilst we were playing In front of lower crowds at St Andrews

Yeah because they have jumped on the talks of a rumour and trying to get clicks from it.

Contrary to our initial reports, the Sky Blues have not been given an August deadline to confirm to the EFL where they will play their football next season.

Might sound harsh but it will be a bit of an anti climax if it's just oHare after the way the "In the know" gimps have been going on.
