There is no hope but there's also no hope for them staying in Coventry. They've made a complete mess of it and despite what they say if they could get shot of the club I am certain they would.

The legals would be ongoing as would JR2, in fact being forced out by Wasps might strengthen JR2.

But they aren't choosing it. Nobody is suggesting that if Wasps tomorrow say you can have a rolling 5 year deal on the same terms you have now that SISU will tell them to stick it and move to Sixfields. What people are saying is if Wasps force us out there is no other option but leave the city.Can you answer why they would choose a Northanpton scenario again.
Don't think he is arguing that Nick. He's just asking what is left for Sisu if that happens. I think most if us believe the legal bid will fail.So what other options are there?
Are people going to be lining up to buy a club in our position?
Why don't you answer it? You've obviously have a hypothesis.I don't think they will liquidate the club. Who is hoping for anything and if you get the point.

What do they have to gain from that scenario?

Why not? Its pretty much blackmail. My view its bullshit anyway and just a delaying tactic to force the club to have no choice but agree a substantially more expensive deal with far worse terms.Wasps saying drop the legals and we will talk will strengthen the legals against them?
OK, so you don't think they will move the club out of the city. Fair enough.My answer is I can't see them doing it.
Yeah. If we have another good season this year though, the crowds will be high on occasion. Get in the play offs we are looking at over 20,000.There is no hope but there's also no hope for them staying in Coventry.

Big game at the top of the table, pushing 20,000 maybe.
Same next season. There is that little bit if hope there this season and next.
After the deal runs out, if we are not here our budget is going to get cut dramatically and the crowds will drop off dramatically.
Not much hope now, but next to nil hope if we are 20 miles away playing in front of 2,000-3,000 odd.
Maybe it will, but I think most will still blame Sisu.Maybe closer to the time a little bit of anger might get whipped up at Wasps and the Council if they still refuse to do anything?
I'm not convinced. We had a top of the table match last season and 15K turned up. We won 4-1 and only 11K turned up for the next game.Big game at the top of the table, pushing 20,000 maybe.

You know it and I know it.
That was very early in though. City fans are very fickle and were probably waiting for the instant demise anyway.I'm not convinced. We had a top of the table match last season and 15K turned up. We won 4-1 and only 11K turned up for the next game.
You not been on the CT site lately then?Quite Strange really if Wasps are still saying they won't do a deal.
Makes you wonder about our fans a little bit.

Now what happens if you're right and Wasps continue to refuse to talk to the club?
To be fair if you are been honest with yourself it doesn't really help the legal action.
The legal action will be was the sale to wasps too cheap or not.
Once having acquired ACL. If Wasps feel they can't do business with SISU. That is irrelevant to the price they paid for ACL.
Its all about the narrative and the picture it paints of the council and wasps. I wouldn't expect you to agree though, you rarely see things in grayscale, just black and white.

I can see SISU doing one of three things.
Drop their legal actions in exchange for a double deal (smartest move IMO)
Sell the club for next to nothing. Continue with the legal action put the "forced" sale of the club whilst at the bottom of the business cycle onto the list of loses in a compensation claim if the legal action works.
Negotiate a one year move with the FL elsewhere. Somewhere closer than Northampton. Whilst desperately trying to find a closer solution such as Hinkley town or Nuneaton. Where they would need to develop the stadium Just to even ground share temporarily. Then eventually try and stay their permanently.
Those are the only options I see as conceivable. I can't see a move to somewhere like Northampton for more than a year. I don't think it's worth it to them.
If the club could show that there was no home available at all but could find a permanent home 100 miles away why wouldn't the FL sanction it?
Barristers paint a narrative with facts, this would fit nicely in there - under sold/state aid, sold on the provisor that would not be detriment to the club (yes, that was what the decision was based on), and then wasps pretty much kick them out. Doesn't make the council decision look good.Unfortunately when it comes to a judicial review over a legal point. The courts are very black and wait as well and not very grey scale
They can't sanction franchising.
They would not sanction us permanent moving 100 miles away. Otherwise they are giving people the blueprint to start doing a Wimbledon again.
Enter into negotiations but always blame the other party for all the breakdowns. Tell the FL thee is no solution.
Take yourself off to somewhere else that you have a better chance of making some cash.
They would block it (like they did to Brighton) and the club would have to choose to deal with Wasps and their conditions or walk away.

Its also about PR, media war and also potential impact on wasps commercial image.
Whilst I don't want the club to move out, I wouldnt write it off as a non starter, I'm sure simon wouldn't be going on the PR offensive if he thought like you there was no chance.

Agree, would never happen.No chance - FA would unlikely sanction it after the MK Dons fiasco. And besides, where would we be moved to?
