Understand that but on the other hand you would thing it would give them a boost?To be 100% fair to the Cov Tel on this occasion, there's a lot going on there and within the Trinity Group... sadly for us, the CCFC/Wasps situation is not necessarily number one priority at the moment.
ExactlyWhat, in the same way that Wasps and CCC notified the football club when they were doing the Ricoh deal?
This was from a comment on a Wasps forum: “The football club dances to our tune or doesn't play at the Ricoh“. That seems to have been the mentality of CCC and Wasps since day 1 and tells us everything we need to know surely?
I think it needs to be the bricks, turn up with hammers and chisels and just take them all off, if someone can store them temporarily I'm sure the club will make some space a Ryton for them afterwards, would cost nothing and the publicity would be huge. We need to get a bunch of maybe 20 people to agree to it, get them on a whattsapp group so it's not on the public forum and just get up there and do it.
I'm ready.
But then isn't that classed as criminal damage? We should absolutely get them back but go through the right channels, show we are better than the stripey cunts as we know how they and the local media would spin it if we did it ourselves

JH Statue could be put on the roundabout that connects Sky Blue Way to JH Way and Binley Rd. A marker for the starting point of JH Way. Can’t think of anything already on that roundabout
I am pretty sure they used to have grass footballers on there too? Or grass people anyway.
Agree, I would like them to do this formally and pull the bricks, statue and crests away officiallyby our club. This would also put a finality to ever going back there with those stripy bastards thereBut then isn't that classed as criminal damage?

Right at the bottom, left at the roundabout is binley rd, turn right head to the park leading into town. It’s a large roundabout so not sure he would look a little ‘lost“ on there. Maybe the training ground is more suitableAll I could remember was Blue Ribbon, then that Sikhism thing, unsure of the Stoke turn off. Just know that the one I mentioned always seems the busiest at any time of day

Don’t disagree but let’s face it we are properly at war now whereas the door was previously open all of the other times. Would be a proper statement of intent but equally this would probably be perceived as another ‘aggressive’ SISU moveSISU could do this tomorrow but they won't, for the same reason they haven't done it all the other times they've promised to move on - they really, really want control of the Ricoh.

I’d happily contribute to the Sky Blues Talk Trust!I don't really understand their "right" to be saying it. They don't appear to be a legitimate organisation. Do they have a constitution and rules? Are they abiding by their rules? Do their rules allow them to issue statements whenever they like, purporting to represent the views of their members without ever consulting them? Where's the transparency?
What is to stop Sky Blues Talk forming a more influential organisation representing a larger constituency? Or do we have to infiltrate the trust and take over? Is either (or both) of these approaches possible?

Could they? Who owns the statue and the bricks, is it sisu or is it whoever owns the stadium?

We will need to sell every season, regardless. That is the whole model. Brentford, who have the same model, are probably going to have to sell their best player, despite finishing 3rd.Our biggest mission now is with Robins and the team staying in the Championship while the rest of them worry about the stuff behind the scenes- if we dropped back down & had no ground, 7k fans etc then it looks very fucking bleak for CCFC unless we find & sell a few like McAllum/ Bayliss every single season.

Don't think many do need to get their head around it. It is a way of existence for most clubs. Sadly any sale of a player gets greeted by the anti SISU/ bereft of reality group of people as a lack of ambition (the same group of people that believe that staying away will also be good for the club!)We will need to sell every season, regardless. That is the whole model. Brentford, who have the same model, are probably going to have to sell their best player, despite finishing 3rd.
We just have to get our heads round it as being a permanent way of life. Every new player has to be considered in the light of what his sell on fee might be. The club relies on a 'buy cheap - sell dear policy'. In the absence of a sugar-daddy, it's better than going broke. It costs £8m a year to keep QPR going before staff and player wages, and they are not even challenging at the top.
It's a reason why we have such a young squad.

So a local story is not of interest to the local newspaper? How do they expect to justify keeping going?
Even if the EU complaint is successful, I can’t see how SISU would be able to buy the RICOH. The relationship between the CCC and CCFC is completely broken.
Factor in the desire for the CCC to make the Wasps project successful. It would probably be easier for the club to build a new stadium.
We were a selling club long before Sisu came along.Don't think many do need to get their head around it. It is a way of existence for most clubs.

This is exactly what people need to get their head around, if wasps go busy the Ricoh goes back to the council and there is no way in hell they would sell it to sisu and I'm certain sisu are very aware of this now as well
I assume the assumption being made is that the CCC would be desperate for Cov to play in the RICOH if the Wasps project failed to prevent it becoming a white elephant. A huge stain of council mismanagement.
However, that does not mean that the CCC would be inclined to sell the RICOH to the club. If the relationship is broken and vindictive now, how it be improved if Wasps left Coventry for whatever reason?
We would still be in the position of the RICOH being the only place in Coventry that could house us. Not a good place to start negotiations.
If I could see a route to owning the RICOH, I’d get it. I just cannot see it happening.
Most players these days will be brought in with the hopes of being able to resell for a profit within the length of their contract. Wouldn't surprise me if we were able to sell someone like Hamer for 3-4x what we paid off that back of a good season.Don't think many do need to get their head around it.
