The cold hard truth is that without the rent strike either the club would have folded, ACL would have folded or both as the whole arrangement was totally unsustainable.
You have not really addressed the issue though have you? Its odd is it not that you accept totally at face value Wasps rhetoric on legal noise given that past statements have been nothing but false promises and outright untruths
They will only want the club there if it generates profit to them. The present arrangement does not and never will. So they hike the price up to make it viable to them and in the hope one day the football club succeeds which yields commercial benefits that gain they will deny the club access to.
The Wasps business model presently is not sustainable. High revenues have not translated into profit and the owner is still subsidising them. We will only stay if we fill the void - if not that pesky legal noise will be the excuse - believe that if you will.
I have always said if we bring more money to Wasps than we cost them. They are a business and we are there to make money.
Unfortunately the rent will have to go up. Tim Fishers arguement about average league one rents (some to become average league 2 rents ) doesn't cut it. You also have to look at the facility. Wasps will also look at do they have another option that brings them more money.
I couldn't give a rats ass about Wasps they mean nothing to me.
I am just looking at it logically.
JR2 causes them a threat. So on the one hand we are causing them risk. The other hand we are negotiating with them.
They will want that risk gone before they negotiate. When they negotiate they are not a charity and will want us toward them money.
JR2 is for SISU's benefit as was JR1 both will cause catastrophic damage to our club.
JR1 should have been offered up as part of a package to negotiate a deal for ACL.
JR2 should now be sacrificed in order to get a better rent deal.
Neither will have happened because SUSU's number priority is SISU not the long term good of CCFC.
