    CCFC can still have the Higgs 50% share ???

    Wasps have half the Ricoh - I'm not happy about it but thats now done and cannot be reversed so for me it comes down to do I want Wasps to have 100% of the Ricoh and CCFC to be playing in a small ground outside of Cov in a few years time or do I want CCFC to have 50% of the Ricoh and play in...

    CCFC can still have the Higgs 50% share ???

    Fernando - as I understand things the option for CCFC Ltd is real and factual. As some including OSB have pointed out there may be some legal dispute/conjecture/discussion as to whether this option has passed to Otium. Not withstanding that the option is real and there and the club, in my...

    CCFC can still have the Higgs 50% share ???

    Not being mischievous - if the choice is CCFC owning half of the Ricoh and playing in Coventry or building a small ground outside Coventry then its not spin or being mischievous then I personally would go for the former. If they make an offer for the charities shares either via CCFC Ltd or the...

    CCFC can still have the Higgs 50% share ???

    As I understand it the first off option to buy lies with CCFC Ltd if that option isn't taken up then the charity are free to keep or sell their shares. Wasps have apparently made a bid for those shares and from what Simon Gilbert reports they find that offer acceptable. As far as I know SBS&L...

    CCFC can still have the Higgs 50% share ???

    As it was explained to me CCFC Ltd have the first option to make a bid after that the Charity is free to sell to whoever it would like to. From what Simon has said (and the Trust haven't been told this but have no reason to believe its not correct) if CCFC Ltd do not take up their option within...

    CCFC can still have the Higgs 50% share ???

    What the Trust have been told (by impeccable sources too) is that the Wasps deal with council is done and dusted, signed and sealed and Wasps now own 50% of ACL and CCC own noe of it but retain the freehold of the building. The two Council officers who were directors of ACL are no longer...

    Stadium seats

    What little information we have managed to obtain says that there are NO plans to change seat colour but this is unofficial and that's the problem - we would like some contact with Wasps to get just this sort of questions answered directly from the potential new owners

    Who owns Wasps??

    Owner of Wasps is Irish businessman Derek Richardson who made his money from online insurance firm 123.ie which was sold a couple of years ago for around £40m. Who else is involved in this and exactly how much actual cash is involved is another matter

    Player Ratings

    Isn't it great to be talking about football rather than court cases, finances, legal matters, fairycastle stadiums etc. For what its worth I thought there were 11 heroes on the pitch but more importantly 28,000 off it. But just to keep the talk football related: Allsopp - 6 - had little to do...
