Oh right, where in the OP does it state that it's only the politics you don't care about. Personally I couldn't give a shit whether you care or not. It's just tiring to read it. If you don't care then politely fuck off quietly.I care about Coventry City, not the politics that comes with it for the past 5/6 years.
So with all due respect... do one.

Lovely site Nick. Excellent moderating.
Ay??????? What's been moderated?
Surely if it just meant the 4 years, then the wording would be 'honouring' the agreement for Coventry City to play there.
Staying at the Ricoh to me points to a long term agreement.
That would be a long term agreement without the agreement of the current owners then, I guess. Because unless SISU have suddenly changed their tune they've always said that they're not going to stay as just tenants.
It might suit Wasps and CCC for the club to stay, but whether it suits SISU is perhaps another matter, no?
Just how long have they been saying they have identified land or will be able to announce very shortly the details of the new stadium?
Why do you think they haven't? Because there is no new stadium. If there is now to be one because they feel they have got no other choice, I cannot see it being built in anything like the 4 years we will still be at the Ricoh for.
i think he is referring to his little spat earlier in the thread Nick...
Maybe, but as I said in a thread yesterday before the Wasps thing getting land was probably going to be a big issue due to objections from CCC. If CCC have now basically parachuted in a franchise team then it wouldn't reflect well on them if they turned down an application within the city boundaries. Now, I'm saying such a site exists, but the Wasps deal may have moved the goalposts somewhat.
Well, that's my concern. Where does such a site exist?
Yep. Already stuff built now.
I can't think of anywhere else, apart from Ansty Park. That's still in Coventry isn't it?
On the edge, just over the border.
That and Warwick Uni about the only rational places I can think of.
Still... Kenilworth's nice this time of year:thinking about:
Does they just mean just for 2-4 years which was never in doubt.
Theres no way SISU will agree to continuing to play at the Ricoh beyond 2-4 years with wasps owning it and taking all the revenues.
Well, that's my concern. Where does such a site exist?

Absolutely Otis - but if this takeover of ACL goes ahead and SISU's option of buying into ACL is gone forever, then moving to a new, crappier ground might well be the only game in town.
At that point it's down to SISU whether we stay at the Ricoh whilst the new ground is built. And even if there wasn't a realistic build plan, if the Wasps/ACL thing is looking marginal at that point, then it might well suit SISU to put them under pressure by upping sticks again and just pretending to have one.
Does anywhere here really think that the FL would stop SISU decamping to (say) Northampton, if that situation arose again?
I'm sure Tim mentioned about Courtaulds being the only site in Coventry big enough? Or did I imagine that. Not that they could do anything there now, as haven't they started building?
Wasps dropped the 'London' prefix to their team name only on 30th June 2014.....................How convenient !?
No they have'nt
