EXCLUSIVE: Coventry City off to Birmingham City as Ricoh Arena talks collapse

We understand Wasps were also seeking in the collapsed confidential talks other indemnities and protections against other potential losses for the rugby club – and related parties.

The club and its owners Sisu believe Ricoh owners Wasps rugby club’s final conditions as an ultimatum for extending tenancy arrangements are “undeliverable” – and could bankrupt the club.

Can’t wait to see how the telegraph spin them terms

Talks collapse. Off to St Andrews according to Les Reid

This is the key line:

The club and its owners Sisu believe Ricoh owners Wasps rugby club’s final conditions as an ultimatum for extending tenancy arrangements are “undeliverable” – and could bankrupt the club.

Reading the article it seems Wasps were insisting the club indemnify them if they and / or the council were found to be in the wrong. No way the club would agree to that and its quite right that they shouldn't.

Get season tickets on sale

 

[JulianDarbyFTW]

Fair enough. If Wasps conditions could bankrupt the club, then there's only one decision to make. Not that the Facebook and Twitter mob will see it like that.

 

[Cavan O'Doherty]

A big pat on the back for all involved for once again seeing the club out of the city.

Be interesting to hear more about this, not just indemnity? What other protections are they seeking and why would the club be expected to cover other related parties as well as Wasps, who are they including in that?

 

[OffenhamSkyBlue]

Right let's get up the fookin road and support those mighty Sky Blues!

Who is a related party in it all?

 

[ccfcway]

absolutely shambles it has come to this (again).

All parties should be ashamed of themselves !!

 

[OffenhamSkyBlue]

ACL?

 

[vow]

Any good pubs near St Andrews?

Some great Real Ale (variety) boozers from New St. towards the ground.

 

[scottccfc]

to be honest I wont believe it either way until the club put it up, but if its true that sisu have rejected the terms then I fully expect an explanation as to either what the terms were or the reasons why they rejected the deal.

 

[JulianDarbyFTW]

Who is a related party in it all?

The Spice Girls?

 

[OffenhamSkyBlue]

Don't know Brum at all really - how easy is it to get to St Andrews from New St?
PUSB

 

[rob9872]

Any City fan who attends a Wasps match now should be fkn banned from the stadium. I hope thy go bust sooner rather than later and the court ruling completely bankrupts all associated.

 

[rob9872]

Hopefully now the confidentiality clause can be broken and we'll get to hear exactly what the conditions were from the horrible fkn parasites.

 

[SkyBlueDom26]

How the fuck is this happening to the club i love, fuck every party involved all a bunch of cunts

 

[Martw]

Well milk, guess your a happy bunny today, it works for you with your love for the owners

Yow cun get a buzz.

 

[HuckerbyDublinWhelan]

As expected the telegraph haven’t produced the sticking points... just the £100k rent + maintenance costs

 

[Cranfield Sky Blue]

It’s only confirmed by Les Reid isn’t it?

 

[chiefdave]

Big surprise that the Wasps Telegraph makes no mention of their demands.

 

[SkyBlueDom26]

Also any city fan that doesn't put 1 bit of blame on wasps or the council can go fuck themselves too, seen a few on twitter saying it's only SISUs fault when if they had agreed we could of gone bankrupt! They ain't city fans and can piss of and get a wasps season ticket

 

[rob9872]

The Sky Blue Trust and the Jimmy Hill Way can go fuck themselves as well

 

[Nick]

Well milk, guess your a happy bunny today, it works for you with your love for the owners

Who loves the owners? Didn't take long for cunts like you to pipe up did it?

 

[covcity4life]

very disappointing. its closer and nice stadium than northampton sure but prob 4k fans in a what 25k stadium? not gonna be much noise to roar the players on in promotion hunt.

war of attrition. we have to survive and somehow get to championship. and hope wasps go bust. what other way back is there for us? council will not let us build a stadium

 

[ccfchoi87]

Absolutely gutted. Should never be coming to this. Don’t blame the club for not indemnifying Wasps but they’re not entirely blameless as we know. Never had so much hatred for anything compared with how I feel towards Wasps.

Next season could be bleak.

 

[cc84cov]

Not shocked in the slightest...

sad times

 

[We'll_live_and_die]

Shouldn't the Council imdenify Wasps, given they are potentially the ones that undersold the Ground?

The club have merely pointed out that a law has potentially been broken haven't they?

 

[ccfcricoh]

About mile and half, 30mins walk (ish?)

Fuck the wasps, the sooner they go bust the better

 

[Nick]

I wonder if it will come out who the related parties are that wanted some money and indemnity too?
