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

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

Simon Gilbert has written up an article based on info released so far. Additional info is that we can be releived that Ranson not involved. http://www.coventrytelegraph.net/news/coventry-news/rugby-club-wasps-20m-takeover-7893659

@Lesreidpolitics: Breaking more:Another source tells me the £19.5m Wasps deal INCLUDES the £13.5m on loan & £2.7m each for council/Higgs shares.We'll see If true, we've been through the past couple of years of bullsh*t for what exactly?

Some more details... @Lesreidpolitics: ...Breaking: continued: I'm told Coventry council's Labour group took 5hrs & voted for 250-yr leasehold of ACL/Ricoh Arena to London Wasps Labour group decision means Ricoh Arena sale to London Wasps WILL be agreed today. Lab have 43 of 54 councillors.No...

Thankfully I'm old enough to have been to Wembley twice with Cov. Feels like 100 years ago now :-(

I'm wondering how we'll ever find out what's involved with this deal. Well, there's always the courts ;-)

Dave Nellist. Not happy with things and pointing out drop in public accountability with more private meetings in recent years. Remember that we apparently have no record of the previous Ricoh loan private session. Really have to start worrying about democracy in the city.

Discussion on CWR now about vote & lack of public scrutiny right now.

Why does anyone need sympathy for Sisu? It's CCFC that most of us care about.

And there was me thinking that you didn't approve of this kind of non-football talk lewys ;-)

Or CCC/Higgs splitting £5m..?

https://twitter.com/lesreidpolitics/status/519381045503066112 @Lesreidpolitics: I can reveal sale of Ricoh to Wasps for £19.5m WILL be passed by Coventry council today. Labour group voted to back it last night

Glad you feel that way. The day I get any agreement from you is the day I know I've done something very wrong.

And I won't defend Sisu's behaviour since 2007 and neither will Joy to an extent. And I've been very blunt in telling her that until there's a successful team on the pitch consistently, we're going nowhere. IIRC I told her that until we get to 11th place in the Championship, Sisu have only...

As far as I can gather a lot more info about the club and what is going on (or what has gone on) will be available. TBF, the current CCFC website has stepped up its game in terms of news & info and the likes of Fisher & Waggott are making themselves more available to fans, both at events and in...

Set-up in terms of getting ACL so that Sisu can't and pressuring the club/Sisu from there. It's all very well asking why Sisu are carrying on with what they've been saying they'll do but we really need to be looking at who the hell is behind this Wasps deal and their game plan.

Apologies for missing that. Welcome to the world of being mis-represented by someone leading another fan group ;-) I think one key thing here is today's Labour Group meeting. I will assume that knowledge of the outcome will worm its way out somehow...we may even find out at the Trust meeting...

I think that this is a totally reasonable expectation and I agree. With the new stadium, there is no way they will say more until a land deal is done and even then, I don't think they will give a location until the planning stage is ready to go. If the land is sorted then we will get some more...

Well KCIC (via you?) have said they back the Trust. The Trust have been eerily quiet and there seem to be rumours swirling around that the board might be happy for this to go though – maybe we'll find out tonight – and Get Cov Back to the Ricoh are, well, to be honest, feeling like this is a bit...
