I never, ever believe any of it until it is fact.

Will treat it with the same contempt as every other rumour.

Why would the England U,18 coach know and why would he say anything about it publicly?

I'll treat it as BULL until it's signed , sealed , delivered . very much how I treat anything re CCFC.

Believe it when I see it. Although I did here the same thing through a mate before Xmas who's into his Rugby in a big way and has a mate of a mate situation with someone at Leicester tigers who seems to tell him a lot of things before they happen at Leicester and it came through that pipeline. Apparently. I'm still taking it with a big pinch of salt though.

If they were buying Wasps and getting the Ricoh too, then it makes more sense, doesn't it? It doesn't mean there is anything in it, but I can see how the package is more attractive taking over the lot (providing SISU don't want 'silly' money for our 'assets'- doh there goes any hope !)

Apologies to the bloke, I have no idea who he is, but I would expect an established agent to have a more PR friendly twitter cover photo than what to most looks like an empty goal net from the local rec.

As a basic concept it makes sense to own both - the stadium in use twice for a high number of weekends, equals twice the revenue. There's sharing of other facilities too. Plus, if we were taken over by a company willing to invest, there's lots more money to made with Coventry than Wasps, predominantly linked to the money associated with the two sports. Finally, CCFC are in a trough, so to an investor we can only go one way. Arguably Wasps are already at (or at least very close to) their peak.

I appreciate there are lots more complexities and caveats than the basic argument outlined above, but I still believe an independent investor would see benefit in owning both.

Would be good to have a Sky Blue pub wouldn't it? The Rowleys Green would be perfect.

Thing is I can see RB coming in for Wasps and ACL. As far as I'm aware they don't have a presence in the sport of Rugby so will be breaking new ground, have a nice central stadium with exhibition hall, hotel etc. for the staging of RB events and I can also see the logic in also acquiring a football team to play there. Here's the Rub though. How much is Wasps and ACL going to cost them? £20M, £30M maybe as much as £40M I don't know. They then go to SISU and say Ms. Seppala we'd like to buy your football team that doesn't have a pot to piss in how much? Answer, £60M.

Why would they do that? Why not just go and buy Sphinx or Cov United instead?

That's why I don't believe it.

do you really think they'll ask for that much? Or should I say do you not think they'll settle for a lot less because initially they're bound to ask for something ludicrous, it's the nature of them.

Why? You keeping making these big bold statements but you don't back them up with any reasoned logic as to why you make them.

Because they would lose all their money they invested , how much have SISU lost ....
I don't need to be bold to make the statement , it's all there for any mug to see.

It's obviously a rubbish rumour. One minute the U18 coach is the U18 England coach and within two posts he's only the U18 coach for the City.

Yep they would buy wasps for sure, but no way Cov, they would disassociate from Cov and drop them like a stone

No...see I said when Wasps entered the fray - & still maintain - 'give it 4yrs...Wasps owners will buy CCFC'

To Wasps owners now with a stadium, & a top performing/competing Rugby outfit - they have a significant sellable asset. By adding a football club that has pretty good potential & having the two share the stadium...there is a golden opportunity to make money on two fronts sport-wise...plus the pies!

...onwards & upwards PUSB
