The courts have already done that. Ultimately i hope their investors start wanting their cash back.

It would be great to know who are the investors? is Joy one of them.
In law no CCC haven't done anything wrong. Morally? That's a different story.The courts have just said the council didn't do anything wrong with the
Loan. Actually I suppose you are right the first judge took them to task. However they will only really be dealt with by the investment market they are the only people SISU will listen to.
Just hope the only option that eventually becomes the aim is the original plan. Premiership sell for a profit and go.
Can't argue with that.

No I'm not.What rubbish.
So if we'd moved to sixfields and it had been a roaring success then youd have been happy then?

Some would be happy with that. We will never know how many would've been because it has only thus far led to doom gloom & much argument & debateSo if we moved 80 miles away because we saw an opportunity to be successful and better the club, you would be ok with that? it's attitudes like that which are part of the problem.

Because the anchor Tennant went on rent strike, into administration and then abandoned the site in that order. Did you really miss that?
Do you really want to go to the polls everytime a decision needs making by a local council because that's what you seem to be suggesting? At the end of the day there's no indication that that had to happen at any stage regardless of whether you think it should have or not so why would it even be mentioned in JR2?
Because this is the real world not a fantasy land where everyone has to pander to the needs of SISU. The simple fact is that there was a confidentiality clause between Wasps and CCC as I suspect there would have been between SISU and CCC if SISU had have chosen to enter into serious negotiations for ACL. I hate to utter the words but its standard business practice. Which brings me back to my question. Why didn't SISU bid when invited to?
The new leader is just saying what everyone thinks. The legal action is a waste of money that could be put to good use on the team

He's not saying what I think mate. If the council gave a shit about the club they'd have done what they promised and given it some time to build trust rather than jumping straight into bed with Wasps. I'd rather he just shut up about the club and quit pretending to care - it's crocodile tears.
If the Council want to draw a line under it maybe they could help by trying to find somewhere in or near the city for a new ground.

The fundamental flaw with trying to compare what Wasps management have done; moving from High Wycombe to Coventry, with what SISU have done; moving to Northampton. Is that rugby clubs in the UK are not founded and grounded along social class lines and very rarely stemmed from a local factory or something deeply rooted in the society.
Moving a team that has represented people that were boarders at a public school or were more mobile is very different than moving a team that represents the "working class" (whatever that means in today's society!), generally less mobile group.
What SISU did is far worse than what Wasps did.

I am not so sure morally they have much of an issue, to be fair I think they stuck up for themselves and a charity.
Really? Stating Sports Clubs (not just football clubs) shouldn't be moved from their communities yet sell to Wasps.I am not so sure morally they have much of an issue, to be fair I think they stuck up for themselves and a charity.
Weird no one complained when they got less as a result of the Wasps deal.Is the charity line coming out again all the time now?
This is one of the posts of greatest bollocks I've ever had the misfortune to read.
Morally because you support Coventry City Football Club. I see where you are coming from and I am as frustrated as you are; but plenty of non fans see it differently. CCC don't just represent the football fans.In law no CCC haven't done anything wrong. Morally? That's a different story.

And based on average attendances it's a tiny minority!
Like I keep saying. SISU need to move on to move forward!
Not strictly true...Hedgefund 2 went on to bigger & better things & better deals. Hedgefund 1 went to Sickfields and back again, succeeding only in pissing off an awful lot of people along the way.
...onwards & upwards PUSB

So you believe that most professional football teams in England have the same meaning to the local as a professional rugby team?
They may mean a lot to local people. But what they mean and what they represent it totally different.
Moving a football team is much more powerful than moving a rugby team.
With such an articulate 'come back' I'm surprised you can read.
I know quite a few People from across the midlands who are now regularly attending the Ricoh as Wasps fans. I also know quite a few ex saints fans now going to the Ricoh. It's all a bit weird for me but the loyalty in Rugby certainly is of a different nature.
Still don't agree that the RFC allows clubs to move. The FA were right to ban it after Wimbledon for foitball. Must be a reason why it's not banned in the rules of rugby?
Wished it was the exact amount they should have got. Would have been a nice touch if the Council gave a million of theirs to them. However I am sure many a tax payer would have been in up roar if that happened.
Do you think if Manchester United or Chelsea moved to coventry they would attract any support from the local community?
As for ex saints fans they are as passionate as football fans so that my friend is a lie.
Yes and would still draw a crowd from elsewhere because Glory hunters will travel. Plenty of people in the local community support those teams. Manchester United could move anywhere and be supported but that is not the point. The point is is they/ are MANCHESTER UNITED.
Does your Saints fan live in Northampton, are they from Northampton. I have an avid and passionate one next door to me with no connection to Northampton. So how is he part of the Northampton community.
