I didn't realise you were on Wasps board, and could say for certain that all income streams would go to CCFC.
You see I find that strange, why would all income streams go to CCFC when it was bought by Wasps? Why wouldn't the income streams go to Wasps so they can become some super 'not from Coventry' powerhouse of Rugby that most people dont really give a shit about.
But then what about the owners, a nice hedge fund, wouldn't they want some of the cash, or have you forgotten what Hedge Fund owners of sports clubs act like?
Satisfy all fans and get all income streams...MY ARSE!

Fuck the Higgs stand, they only want the cash to buy some more pubs, or to inflate PWKH's ego...twat.
You can't possibly think that any company would think it a good idea to spend 50mill+ (I bet you couldn't buy a single premiership team for that) and then move them to Coventry decimating the fan base (not that they would even be allowed too). It's perhaps the most bizarre posts I've ever read on this forum and we've had some solid gold nonsense.

Wasps don't want us at the Ricoh and are just making the right noises at the moment as part of their pr campaign. Nothing about CCFC fits with their corporate identity and we'll be gone in 4 years, probably sooner. We're the down market embarrassing lodgers.

They've done it with one team already...

They will need the income from us playing at 'their' ground. They will also not want the bad publicity of doing their best to get rid of our club.
With a Rugby team- not the same thing. Rugby Union has only recently become a professional sport ( in comparison) and the fans seem to be more interested in watching qualitty for quality's sake as oposed to us masochists. Whether they have decimated their fan base is pure speculation on your part. I think ( speculate) that they are going about the move in an open way and that with the Rugby World Cup coming up next year, they will actually benefit from the move. It is a sad fact, that CCFC is plummeting to the ground at the Speed of sound at the same time and Wasps may well end up as the major sports team in Cov. A sickening thought - but I don't blame Wasps.

Wasps will only be playing something like 16 home games a season maybe more if they have European games so they need an anchor tenant to make the most of the Ricoh so that hasn't really changed from CCC/Higgs ownership days.
The real question is are SISU smart enough to realise that they are in a good position and business savvy enough to do a deal that works long term for the club regardless of which league we're in? I doubt that, they don't have a history of making good decisions for our club. My guess is that they'll piss these landlord's of as much as the last.

Plus the huge numbers that go to MK Dons show that give it a while, and people forgive and forget.
I don't think SISU will be getting more involved with sport. They now have years of experience, but are getting nowhere. It's too emotional and dependant on sporting success as opposed to balance sheets and commercial acumen. We are no longer losing money, but are doomed because of Lack of sporting success.
Sorry. Went back to SISU. Not Sure if MGI would go through this again though.
