Wasps don't play in their local area though. They've moved round London for many years and have spent ten years in bucks. They only became London wasps in 1999

I've been surprised at how quiet the club have been since these rumours started and the fact joy is saying she won't stand in the way of the deal makes me think more is going on than were aware. Probably putting 2 & 2 to make 5 but what if: ACL is sold to a consortium fronted by the wasps...

I'm surprised at how quiet sisu have been about Wasps taking over the Ricoh. Probably just being suspicious but wouldn't be surprised if they had a stake in the takeover consortium. Although bad for wasps and cov rugby I don't see it leading us to exit the Ricoh again, if anything I think it...

The article mentions buying half acl. What if Sisu brought the Higgs share and wasps the council half - two pro sports teams playing there each week like Swansea and ospreys. Huddersfield and the giants. Morally wrong for wasps supporters but as a business decision they get a ground cheaper than...

mcsheffery, jennings, baker e.t.c were all rumoured to have been moved on for financial rather than football reasons. Reduced bonus payments that didn't go down well. Last seasons bomb squad was predominately the result of his financial decisions and agents apparently despise him - which is why...

Whether you like Waggot or not you have to say financially we are probably in a better place to be self sustainable. Not sure what the rent agreement is but assume its nominal with with a food and beverage rebate; that along with a dramatically reduced wage bill should enable us to escape l1...

Id like to see Jackson upfront with McQuoid / Nouble. The lack of pace worries me for a title challenge or promotion push. Haynes on the wing/wing back looks positive but Clarke isn't attacking enough for 5-3-2. As has been said being hard to beat is good against the top teams but we need to be...

Cheers ferret. Hope the south stand is available as the corner will fill up quickly if it's the only place to get season tickets. Bring my lad up and as much as he'll love the naughty corner not sure his mum will appreciate the tales when he gets home!

Is it true that season tickets are no longer being sold in the south stand? I've seen it mentioned on a few posts but no confirmation on t club website or twitter. North stand season ticket holder but was holding off renewing until the panic was over and just going to buy a £10 ticket for...

Now we're back home where do we think we'll be in four years time? League 1, Championship or the promised land? For me I think a mid table championship club. We should now have the finances to escape League 1 although I think this season may be too much of an ask with so many new players...

I'm taking the piss. But do think we're more suited to 4-4-2 with the players we've brought in. If 3-5-2 don't work for van gaal and united because of lack of holding players and true wing backs it ain't going to work for Elvis and his sky blues.

Think the andy thorn diamond could work for us this season. Tudgay and jackson up front; Fleck at the top, obrian and Swanson on the wings with the holding player behind (not thomas he needs a brake) Haynes/Pugh, big reda, webster, clarke Alsopp What's good is we seem to have cover and...

TRANSFER NEWS: Steven Pressley comes right out and confirms the club will be signing a striker today. Signing will add real competition in the striker area. Pressley very pleased with the capture. Unknown player not match fit and it will take two or three weeks to get up to get up to speed...

The fact he kept us up last season having experienced a 10 point deduction and move to sixfields for me gives him this season at least. I'm not sure he's a great manager and other managers in our league have to work on similar budgets but I can't overlook how de motivating it must be playing at...

Should add that I'm not expecting us to go up this season even if we go back to the ricoh with acess to f&b. would certainly expect a promotion in the next three years with our resources at this level though. There is also the requirement that sisu don't cash in their charges against the club...

If we agree a nominal rent for the ricoh with a profit sharing agreement for food & beverage along with our dramatically reduced wage bill have SISU made us a viable football club? With our fan base, stadium and academy we are a big enough club to escape league 1 and establish ourselves in the...

I actually think they'll buy land and pretend the stadium will be built on it just to put more pressure on acl. What we'll probably find though is the site they secure will be for the new training ground/academy.

I'm no sisu fan but do think acl need to prove they can get big events in o a regular basis. U21 football, european rugby, darts, snooker, wwe. If the secured these sort of events regularly it proves they can make a go of it without ccfc. Not doubting they're still making money as the mortgage...

Nuneaton statement interests me. Ian neale states they need investment to move full time and improve the stadium to league two level. With the speculation sisu may be looking to build in the nuneaton/bedworth area could they buy liberty way and upgrade it? Let cov and the boro ground share...

Agree with you there but that's how people sell these sort of developments. The uk in general struggles to create sustainable well paid employment so warehouse/retail jobs are always seen as a win by government. Cov city centre is a prime example, its dying whilst the council allow retail...
