In the last ten minutes accused the council of supporting franchise sport.
The ones on Twitter seem to give it loads then hide away. As if they have a set script. Like asking somebody from an Indian call centre a question they don't have written down, confuses them.The councillor hid behind confidentiality
Another thing is the councillors words, it is all think and hope. Very unsure. It isn't know and will.Speaking to one of the two the councillor made reference to wasps hoping to get 30,000 for European matches

Ah no, they're only supporting franchise sport in rugby according to Cllr Maton. Possibly. And the future of CCFC at the Ricoh, turns out that's down to whatever deal they can do with Wasps.
Clearly the council hasn't done anything concrete to protect CCFC or CRFC, despite any risk to either club apparently being a dealbreaker. Make of it what you will.

Surely if it is a plus they bring premiership rugby then that's franchising? Why not help our club get there?No they got offered
Someone wanting to commit to the Ricoh
Someone wanting to build in the city
Someone wanting to buy all of ACL for an agreed price and just doing the deal in a straight forward manner
Who were going to honour the deal the football club already had.
Who were going to bring Premiership Rugby and media exposure to Coventry.
Who present them with an opportunity to free themselves of what I imagine the worst people they have ever done business with (in their eyes)
The counter side to that they allowed franchising to happen

So there are no guarantees it will help ccfc and the rugby club? Like they promised?I guess to be fair that's always going to be the case with a decision like this. There are never any guarantees are there?
Can someone ask him if £5.5M is the price for everything in Coventry?

Maybe I should drive over to Hinkley to buy my milk in future.:thinking about:
Hinckley is an interesting place to mention

They couldn't wriggle out of the 2+2 deal to the club anyway, it's contractual. They could've taken the SISU way and wound ACL up I suppose, but then neither they nor Higgs would make any money.
So, in terms of the council's 'deal breakers' what guarantees did they put in place to protect either CCFC or CRFC?
Did they offer the club the same deal?
Nowt by the sounds of it. As you say, the contractual obligation was there anyway, so how on earth can they say this is a good deal for Coventry City?
What about Cubbington - that's quite interesting too. There is also a place north of Coventry called 'Barton on the Beans' - now that is seriously interesting :guitar2:

Anyone finding this 'c' bomb more offensive than the actual 'c' bomb when it comes to the RICOH saga?
Barton in the Beans
I don't get why they would do all the public unveiling and photo shoots if it hadn't gone through though.If he wouldn't answer then I would suggest the answer is clear, the sale hasn't actually happened yet. I suppose that makes sense from Wasps point of view, they probably don't want to buy the share until they know they can have 100%.
