Rumour: Hoffman and Elliot takeover negotiations (33 Viewers)

[Nick]

I believe there was talk a lot by the present owner before he bought Wasps, but who really knows.
It fits in with the forums theme though that it's the councils fault.

Factual though isn't it? So probably doesn't fit in with your theme.

No, they had discussed it with the Council before.

Wasps or Richardson before he bought Wasps ?

Richardson, who then became the owner of Wasps and moved them here.

but way after the rent strike

My theme is to get rid of Sisu at all costs.
Hope you support the offer on Tuesday regardless !!

Was it?

 

[blueflint]

Was it?

you know it was stop wumming

 

[ccfc92]

If new owners were going to buy the club and the Ricoh why not just buy the club and build a new stadium for the same price?
On the same thing , why don't Sisu do that ?

I thought Wasps bought the Ricoh for less than £10mill?

A new stadium for CCFC would cost £15mill+ surely?

 

[hutch1972]

Just have to wait and see. Hopefully, new owners coming in can buy a % off Wasps or if Wasps go bust, they can buy the Ricoh for CCFC.

Who knows what SISU would do with the Ricoh if they owned it.

Knowing sisu they would probably pile the debt on the stadium straight away , more than likely using some kind of bond scheme.

 

[clint van damme]

We are back at the stadium that was built for us ?

that's not what he said though is it, as well you know.

Wasps bought ACL, CCC own the stadium.

They were offered a stadium in London but refused.
Hugh Godwin: Wasps didn't have to send themselves to Coventry

Doesn't fit in with your skewed view though does it?

 

[ccfc92]

Wasps bought ACL, CCC own the stadium.

You know what I'm getting at.

How much did Wasps pay for ACL then?

Lol.

I want rid of sisu, but I don't for one moment envisage that that will be the end of the clubs problems with the council.

 

[stupot07]

Someone mentions Wasps, here comes Italia..

but we're supposed to support that move Torch, that one's OK, it's just Sixfields that wasn't.

Yes a 15,000 stadium they rented.
Anyway it wouldn't be big enough

 

[italiahorse]

£20M with the loan.

don't bother asking, I don't think there's a tap of the nose I'm in the know emoji.

Of course it would have been big enough. And why shouldn't they rent? Renting is great it seems. You want the football club you apparently to support to do it? So why not Wasps?

 

[stupot07]

How much did Wasps pay for ACL then?

£5.5m plus £1m to extend the lease by over 200 years. The loan is irrelevant.

Could be solved by Wednesday ?

 

[ccfc92]

£20M with the loan.

And minus the loan?

no idea mate, but it must be wasps related, don't think italia gets involved in too much CCFC stuff.

So cheaper than building a new stadium.

God, that was tedious

What solved, sisu out or just the rental agreement?

 

[italiahorse]

Of course it would have been big enough. And why shouldn't they rent? Rwnting is great it seema. You want the football club you apparently to support to do it? So why not Wasps?

I want CCFC to do it because its the only sensible way forward.
Can't believe the naivety of people thinking we can own our own stadium at the moment.

I actually agree with that statement. Although it hurts me to say so whereas I think you're delighted with the situation.

Aren't Wasps in the same position as CCFC? Neither can afford to buy a stadium, the only difference is Wasps had people invest, get loans etc and get the Ricoh.

So CCFC must rent but you don't want London Wasps to rent...in London. That article dispels the myth they HAD to move. They didn't. They moved for money, not for the fans. As Clint pointed out no different to Sixfields...Wasps did it permantely.

It amuses me people like Italia said don't sell any of the Ricoh lease to SISU as they will mortgage it and borrow against it...something Wasps did within a couple of months, but apparently that's OK.
