Makes you wonder why the Trust, Telegraph and CWR have always been so willing to do that for nobody but SISU.
Radio presenters losing their shit live on air because somebody questions Wasps, to the point that their assistant has to apologise.

That's what an expensive PR campaign for the Council, funded by the taxpayer, will do.
Morning all. I have done a search of the European Commission State Aid cases decisions database, and there is no record of any case with the keywords Ricoh, Wasps or Coventry. It may be that their search feature is absolute shite (or my ability to use it is) - i can't find entries for West Ham United, London Stadium, Olympic Park either, and i am pretty sure there was a case surrounding that.
So it may be that the Ricoh deal hasn't been referred to the EC for full investigation yet, or that no decisions have been taken.
On another note, i suspect CCC are shitting themselves that CCFC's stadium partner is Warwick Uni - that is one organisation CCC simply cannot afford to draw swords with!

The CCFC statement seemed very carefully prepared whereas the Wasps one is a bit more rushed.
Which suggests that CCFC at the very least suspected they were not going to conclude negotiations and prepared statements in advance.
Wonder if the announcement of the Uni thing is part of a 'shit sandwich' - two bits of good news with a bit of crap news in the middle.
The database only shows cases where there has been a decision. I'm sure we won't have to search for news of the decision once it's been made.
Only just started reading this thread, and it's increasing faster than I can read it, but thoughts / questions here.
Did the indemnity requirement that caused the problem last year require CCFC to indemnify Wasps and CCC (as the stated 3rd party)?
If so, then CCC would need to be involved to waive the indemnity requirement, as well as Wasps. I can't see CCC agreeing to that given the bad feeling between CCFC and CCC
So is there a rift developing between Wasps and CCC over this?

Exactly, they got in there first and did a good job. They had the local media and Sky Blue Trust onside and working with them.
Unless they already knew the deadline was approaching and it wasn't going to happen
Telegraph tweeting articles “Coventry fans not happy with Wasps Ricoh decision”
first time I’ve seen it Levelled at them

Is this guy Tom Leach new - he seems to take a more neutral stance than that wanker Turner
isn't that exactly what fucking Wasps did, with the help of the Council?? two-faced wanker
Keep the faith we will be in our own stadium in 5 yrs just in time for your 70th birthday

Perhaps the "independent " observers in the room will be allowed to tell us?
If we are out of Coventry for 5 Years (that's 5 more years) what will the state of the club be? What will our attendances be? Will Sisu will continue to stop us from going under if Robins can't sell 2 or 3 players a season?
The statement about a new stadium is so tenuous. Sisu 'are having talks about entering into a partnership'. If we are depending on a new stadium on that side of the city, is it really going to take 5 years? The project name for the Ricoh was Arena 2000. It wasn't completed until 2005 and that was with the goodwill of all concerned.
I am sure Sisu's real target is the Ricoh still. All of the optimistic talk that Wasps are on their last legs is just guesswork. Maybe they will go bust in 6 months. Maybe they won't go bust at all. Nobody on here really knows. Maybe they will get a financial white knight that will save them and completely isolate us. Depending on Wasps demise to save us seems a very risky business.
Planning and building a new stadium while playing at the Ricoh was the ideal. Now, who knows where we will end up.
If they did, surely that would come under state aid or some other financial support limitation ? Investing in a company that, as a Governmental body, they've already financially supported ?
They can’t carry on. Amateurs are running Wasps into the ground with no business sense at all. 12-18 months they will go into administration.
I'm not sure if they only appear once settled. There is a big long list if you filter by NUTS Code Warwickshire. Most of them are LSC / SFA ESF projects where prior permission was sought.
The relationship is so toxic and with both sides are seemingly beyond reconciliation, I just can’t see that happening.
Wasps cannot be looking at their position and think they can last this out. Their position has been steadily getting weaker year-on-year. I took my little brother to 2-3 games (free tickets) and the attendances have dropped off a cliff.
We cannot maintain our Championship status in Birmingham beyond next season. But, we really don’t have a choice.
Mutually assured destruction for both sides.
wasps are fine mate. This fella says so and PSB group agreed
Robinson got an endless supply of money apparently.
Championship - league 1 yo yo club sounds not
While a little too enthusiastic about SISU, this is correct imho. It looks like relegation to L2 came as a bit of a shock to them but fortunately coincided with finally finding a manager who could deliver. That enabled them to keep the club on an even keel. They are not sugar daddies, but at least are running the club professionally - altho why it took so long is mystifying. My pet theory is that Seppalla has taken over.
The interesting thing is that the EU process is a long one and is also only the first stage. They will have known that from the start, but were prepared to sustain CCFC while the action went on.
It would help me if I understood how Hedge funds work......
both, lets get a spare stadium to go with our spare cathedral.
I always thought the chant was a little outdated
In our Coventry homes
We speak with an accent's exceedingly rare
You want a shit stadium we've got one to spare

It's almost as if they didn't want you to say anything at all
Have you tried shutting him up
An assumption CCC would do a deal with SISU if Wasps disappeared.
More likely to fly in an Antarctic tiddlywinks team to rent it for nothing
