Wasps going into admin & the impact on CCFC (10 Viewers)

[Speedie's Head]

1) Sports Direct already have a lot of stores but I'd bet the majority of their sales are online. So it's not unfeasible that they could need a new warehouse and the CBS is good for motorway access

Frasers Group plans to move its HQ to the West Midlands over the next few years

[shmmeee]

Ah yes, the good old telltale 10° spin…..

 

[The Philosopher]

Doesn't bode well for our new stadium, does it? I'm starting to worry that might not be a genuine plan...

That might still happen if they get funding / a JV with the Uni. Otherwise; unlikely.

Is Pete shagging joy???

would this be part of the reason why Ashley has been made preferred bidder, maybe he’s said if you give me the ground I’ll bring Fraser’s to Coventry, create new jobs etc, our lovely council give the administrator a little nudge in Ashley’s direction and it’s win win for both of them, it leaves us in the same position as we are now, stuck with SISU but paying our rent to a new landlord ?

 

[Sick Boy]

How many straws are being clutched on here at this stage?

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

I'm not sure who you're on about there Pete

Me

Considering the administrators have a legal duty to get the best offer, it's not really win win for them, and considering how litigious Sisu are and how pissed off everyone is with the council it's not win win for them either.

It's probably just as simple as it looks: NEC and Ashley were the only serious interest.

Give them a chance mate, these things take time

He’s preferred bidder because - like buying a house - he’s bid the right money, shown his bank statement and it’s sold subject to contract. If he fails….

The Council needs to approve transfer of lease. He’s paved the way with a sweetener.

Well, I would and so would most on here.

 

[robbiethemole]

Bit concerned the Council still would rather play politics with the football club rather than allow it to secure it's long term future.

Still a bunch of cunts, that’s why

You’re on about Joy or Pete?

New headquarters at the Triangle, and I’ll bet he has a helipad put in just confuse people on here tracking him. Plus it’s only 10 minutes up the road to his new Arena

Ashley gets what he wants and council get what they want = win win ?

 

[tokyojim]

266 pages and I've read everything. Seriously. Don't I have anything better to do?

Will he get Keegan to helicopter on to the pitch at some point?

Well, I’ve never seen Pete, but sometimes a punt in the dark pays off

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

Ah ok

 

[The Philosopher]

Then you are well informed, probably utterly confused and need a drink.

 

[shmmeee]

Pete is a very attractive man TBF.

 

[shmmeee]

Why would the council want bad PR and more legal issues?

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

Pete is a very attractive man TBF.

Personality not looks lol

 

[wingy]

He might have to lose the helicopter as he's dropping from the board soon winding his activity down.

By the way it's been in Cov since 10 this morning after coming in from Worksop.

If Ashley offered say £20m for the club she'd have to go back to her investors, they couldn't turn it down surely

They were offered a deal worth around 15mill in league 2 and laughed it off. 20mill wouldn't even get a courtesy call.
[/QUOTE]

The difference being that back then, they still had many potential future avenues to explore.
I am really not so sure that is the case today, presuming MA secures ownership of the arena (which seems very likely) it won’t be with the aid of a risky bond holders deal.
It will be with an all angles covered, financially airtight deal, meaning SISU would have no realistic future at the Arena other than as long term tenant to a very dominant Landlord.
Or of course they could play out the lease at the CBS arena whilst pressing on with the new build at the University did anyone actually believe there was ever anything more to that ‘than another charade in the race for the Arena.

SISU have been hanging around for as long as they have because there has always been the possibility of a bigger reward a bit further down the road, I think that road closes permanently if MA comes in.

Fadz lives near me, about 10 mins from Worksop.

 

[Esoterica]

Not really much from joy to be fair. Just titbits of interesting times and no news etc. as I say I’ve no doubt any exclusive info would be shared through reputable channels not some 51 year old bloke who reached out once to have a chat

You had an interesting time with Joy's titbits? Robbiethemole will be jealous.

Werent it about 7 mil up front then the rest dependant on promotions to the premier league?

 

[Esoterica]

Pete is a very attractive man TBF.

He's very short sighted, so you're in with a chance if you keep your distance.

So short sighted in fact....he once came off at half time of a football match complaining that his legs were really burning under his socks. He found out after the game that instead of packing his deep heat gel in his kit bag, he'd accidentally picked up a tube of photo glue and spent 10 minutes massaging that into his legs before the game. Melted all his leg hair.
