Rumour: Hoffman and Elliot takeover negotiations (37 Viewers)

[italiahorse]

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.

Your confused.
Neither wants to rent but for us thats all we can do for the foreseeable future.

Wasps rfc rent off Moonstone don't they?

 

[Nick]

you know it was stop wumming

What were the dates?

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

Your confused.
Never said such a thing.
In fact if Sisu had a plan to do just that I'd have been right behind it.

 

[hutch1972]

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

If everyone had to pay italia, it would be more than adequate.

I guess you could look at it like that.
It's all just cost centres.

 

[Voice_of_Reason]

No we wouldn't. A senior figure at the time thought the club were a huge obstacle that prevented it from rivalling the NEC.

He convinced the council this was a big money earner and would be a huge success.

Can you prove that ?

 

[italiahorse]

No idea who pays or not, but I guess getting a good deal on F&B incomes gets income from the freebies.
We will have to wait until Sisu go to see what deal the club can get and what access to those revenues.

 

[Nick]

What's Tuesday then?

Most statements Grendel quotes are possibly correct but the time and circumstances of them are crucial and usually render them irrelevant.

 

[torchomatic]

So you won't be going on about SISU, CCFC, SBS&L and Otium anymore then. They're just cost centres after all.

A bit like telling us Wasps had to move or they would go under. Question is though, even if true, who cares? They have no affinity to Coventry or Warwickshire. Still, we know it was bollocks, don't we? Improved your bank balance though, so I guess that's Ok.

 

[hutch1972]

It has been doing the rounds Nick , that a takeover is imminent , or at least an offer too good to refuse ,Obviously we are all sceptical as we have been here before.
We shall wait and see.

Same as the original one in this thread or a new one? Why Tuesday?

I'll leave that to OSB58.
It's clear though that our system isn't working

been hearing a lot of stuff Nick, including yesterday at the game but a lot of it is contradictory so we'll see. No idea why Tuesday.

If it's true , I suppose it's a case of relegation confirmed and back to work after the bank holiday.

Do you know how close Wasps were only a few years ago to finishing ?
A fact used by their existing fans as a reason for moving here.
Would you say it has made good business sense for them?
Affinity to Coventry and Warwickshire takes years.
But it's happening and we need to work along with it.

Who cares how close they were to finishing a few years ago? Nothing to do with us. Nothing to do with Coventry. Nothing to do with Warwickshire.

no we don't.

New stadium it is then. :facepalm:

Then don't use it in your argument then ?

You are, hence my reply of "who cares".

i dont post here often but i read with interest what Italian donkey has to say, first off did you show any interest in egg chasing before the parasites rocked up at the ricoh arena i doubt it besides watching six nations on tv maybe. Me i used to do the score board at Coundon Road in the 70s and 80s when sky blues were away. There is a perfectly good rugby team in this city did you ever attend i doubt it because it didnt line your pockets with eight pieces of silver. The cockney stadium robbers should be nowhere near this city, but you because you earn out of it love it get yourself down the butts to watch the rugby club of the city rather than milking the cash from people that shouldnt be here........ you aint a sky blue fan just a parasite making money out of a situation

I support Coventry Welsh ladies knobofcov.
Never been to watch CRFC or wanted to but tried Wasps and absolutely love it.
Don't feel guilty at all as have supported CCFC for 50 years exactly and currently support home and away.
Getting a season ticket next season as well which is probably more than some on here frothing at the mouth.

No one, some do however think that it is ok to batter one for what they have done, but stay quiet about another that has done nothing for their fan base.
Hope they both go to the wall.

Seems for some there are hedge funds and there are hedge funds. As you say they are all bad news.

My home team is Bedworth but I can't get interested even though they are half a mile away.
Wasps is an easy walk up for me so whats not to like ?
Try Wasps and come back to me once you've tried it.
