Look, get it through your head and anybody else that thinks people on here support SISU. No bugger cares what happens to them. We care about the football club and what happens to them.

It's not hurting SISU. It hurts the CLUB in the long term. SISU could be gone tomorrow. That said, the likelihood of new owners for me has evaporated completely.

If SISU do the sensible thing and try and agree terms to increase the length of the rental deal we'll be fine. If they decide to carry on with the plan to move out, that's the time to be really concerned.

If they start to try and run the club properly we won't need new owners, they can try and trade their way out.

When will the "Why I am proud of the council" posts start

Would you invest in what is the car crash of Coventry sports teams ? Or even the car crash of the City of Coventry for that matter ?.....................Truth is, this will end up being a huge disappointment for Wasps as Coventry people largely struggle to get off their arses to support their own teams, let alone some franchise rugby bullshit.

What do you think the likelihood is of them getting their money back now?

Why on earth would we want to stay at the Ricoh under Wasps ownership, pay rent and fund a franchise club and let them take all the revenues out of the stadium.

So nobody has ever posted how proud they are of the council? Must be imagining it.

Because its by far the best option we've got. Unless you can think of a better, more affordable one.

About as many people that were encouraging Sisu to take a hard line approach as without the club the Ricoh wont survive.
Yeah, because what this club really needs is to extend the period in which it generates all its income from gate receipts and merchandise sales and practically nothing else. The really is the recipe for success. It has worked wonders since 2005.

We'll remain a league 1 side with big debts and limited means to repay them.

That's OK then. Chuck the baby out with the bathwater.

So if you had known that Sisus tactics would result in the club never owning the stadium, would you have supported those tactics?

To own CCFC is an honour and a privilege. SISU saw it as an opportunity to make cash and treated as such. They disrespected (in a non chavvy way) the fans, ACL - burning bridges as they went. In any walk of lifr if you go out to destroy something and then have to return tail between your legs begging for mercy you know its the beginning of the end for SISU and then possibly the club.

Realistically tho, how many people are going to be watching wasps play?
How are they going to do things different from what ACL have done. Rugby in the community programs ain't going to make wasps money to run the Ricoh, especially if their academy has to stay in London as reports suggest.
I can see it going all wrong for them if they don't get the attendances

I hope it falls flat on its face, I know I will never attend a single Wasps match in Coventry and would encourage the rest of the city to do the same.
The suggestion was that the council retain ownership of their profit making stadium management company until some inevitable future point when the club (perhaps under SISU, perhaps not) would make an approach for the stadium. The council have chosen a different path, and now the club is fucked either way.

That the deal with Wasps is rejected and the option for CCFC to have first refusal on 50% of ACL is honoured.

I cant see many attending. If your a Rugby fan surely you already have a team you support?

What if it meant we were stuck paying 1.3 million a year rent and still not owning the stadium?

I can't stand Rubgy, just like their fans can't stand football. But I'd bet the ratio of footballs fans over rugby is very large.
They'll get the fans at first, then the novelty will wear off, then it'll all go Pete Tong.
Doomed from the start imo.
