Can Wasps' consortium fund the deal (4 Viewers)

[spider_ricoh]

As per Rob S's post in the last hour, it seems that CCC will accept the tabled bid by the Wasps consortium. It seems that the only obstacle remaining is whether the consrtoium can raise the cash - supposedly the investors are Chinese and the deal relies on a few well-known ex-CCFC faces to get their agreement....so will it happen?

No. They are doing all this for shits and giggles. Div

Don't worry, I think you'll be a happy chappy by the end of the day.

Why are there Ccfc Faces? As in they are trying to take our club over?

Does that happy involve no more SISU?

I wouldn't be getting my hopes up if I were you.

SISU are harder to get rid of than herpes.

More like now more ccfc in the not too distant future.

Coventry - The home of franchise sport.

Oh, they'll be leaving town tonight, will they? Good stuff.

Why do you care if they go pop in 2 years and are left with nothing?
By the way protesting in my name.
You can go protest by yourself...... In the public toilets before they close them all.

This is the concern really. All this rumour and wondering but we know nothing about who is behind it.

Anyone remember when forcing administration was going to force out Sisu and herald a new CCFC dawn..? (One for the older readers maybe...)

On late kick off?

 

[torchomatic]

Really can't understand any of it. Who are going to support the Wasps, what will the crowds be?

 

[letsallsingtogether]

Nothing new there then we don't know who is behind Sisu?

Rest assured that whenever CCFC news comes up, I'm never hopeful, in fact I fear the worst.

Who even likes Rugby? It's a cabbage ear sport ffs

Not a lot of people I would have thought.

Would hope all Coventry people boycott the Ricoh for their home games and rugby supporting people in general.

They're going to lose thousands of their own supporters too.

Seems a daft move to me, unless taking over CCFC is part of the deal too for them.

You're not alone in that.

Too many acronyms, you must work in education

And yes I know they're not actually acronyms!

It would be interesting if they weren't able to raise the money, wouldn't it. Unlikely, but interesting.

I don't think it would have got to this stage unless the financial backing wasn't in place.

 

[jimmyhillsfanclub]

Crowdsourcing or meat raffle?

I reckon this is a bigger stumbling block than people are thinking - in fact I suspect this whole deal will fall through for lack of funds, hence the question.

They have to back down sooner or later...their business in in making money and as they have now run out of road, there is no prospect of this happening.
