Where does it leave the Tory MP parliamentary debate? It's a bit of a moot issue for the minute isn't it
sounds like Wasps are saying 1 year and no more, unless legal challenge over

Another year of them winning bugger all (which looks likely) might say otherwise...sounds like Wasps are saying 1 year and no more, unless legal challenge over
Regardless of SISU's actions it'd still be a PR disaster for Wasps if there was any perception that they have forced CCFC out. Also, regardless of the value of the annual rent (non disclosed), the impact of losing a minimum of 23 events a year isn't something to be taken lightly. There are only so many alternative uses for the stadium bowl and exhibition hall.Another year of them winning bugger all (which looks likely) might say otherwise...
This is the bit is the bit to worry about given our owners, if no alternative site becomes apparent
“It is widely known that there are obstacles – in the form of the current legal proceedings – which stand in the way of a longer-term agreement
“We believe it is important for all parties concerned that we clarify at this stage that, unless those obstacles have been overcome by the time those discussions for the 2019/20 season would normally commence, then, regrettably, we will not be in a position to enter such discussions.”
Seems Wasps have drawn the line. Somewhere around the end of 2018.
You hate good news don't youSISU have 1 year to admit defeat in court or we are homeless.
When is the actual deadline for the legals , point of conclusion !I am hoping the deadline is a good thing in that it forces the SISU hand one way or the other?
What events realistically and at the same frequency?PR damage can be transitory, people tend to have short memories and would CCFC not playing at the Ricoh (a) hurt Wasps financially much (b) worry rugby/wasps fans (c) be quickly forgotten (d) be spun as all SISU's fault (e) be buried by other news in 2020.
Could the stadium be used for events more profitable to Wasps than the CCFC games ...... not sure they make much profit from them as they stand now
Worrying
Probably never!!When is the actual deadline for the legals , point of conclusion !
The first story is the club's own statement on the website. Not sure if they steer the aggressive tone of Les Reid's stories or whether that's Les himself.Whilst there is mediation about to start it would have been tactically unsound for wasps to take a hard stance this year. They have to demonstrate to the courts they have taken every reasonable step to resolve this matter. They (wasps) really had little choice other than to extend the deal 12 months.
CCFC had little choice but to accept it. This still leaves the CCFC financially at risk, revisits where we are playing over and over for the next year, and a problem club to the EFL
Interesting that one Coventry paper quotes NDA's whilst the other quotes details from club sources
Hopefully the press releases regarding this deal and the huge difference in tone will be a wake up call for our supporters. OSB has already highlighted the most relevant part.Regardless of SISU's actions it'd still be a PR disaster for Wasps if there was any perception that they have forced CCFC out.
There you have it, by Wasps own admission, they will quite happily kick us out despite the assurances from CCC at the time of the ACL sale that a condition was no negative impact on the football club.“We believe it is important for all parties concerned that we clarify at this stage that, unless those obstacles have been overcome by the time those discussions for the 2019/20 season would normally commence, then, regrettably, we will not be in a position to enter such discussions.”
That would make sense as the matchday costs have increased dramatically since Wasps took over ACL.This one seems to make out the delay was due to matchday costs.
What events realistically and at the same frequency?
I personally think their sole reason for drawing the line would be an untenable relationship due to the court action, even if it meant a potential hit to turnover. That's fair enough. If it was the other way around I would expect CCFC to do the same
If the language Wasps are throwing about regarding this one year deal doesn't act as a call to arms for our fans then nothing will.Christ, Eastwood is straight on the PR
"its been a big ask of us"
"we dont want to see the football club disadvantaged"
Fair play to Juggy, making some good points
Wonder if the FL have finally put their foot down?It was quite complex, issues over primacy of fixtures and a lot of issues
Thats the key point. You've got Wasps saying drop the legals or we kick you out yet nobody that's actually running the club has any say over that. We all know that decision lies with Sepalla.Legal issues beyond and above him, no involvement at all, beyond control
And then moan about missing kick off!City fans are notoriously late
His track record when he came here was appalling but he seems to have done everything we could have asked since he's been here in what can't be easy circumstances.He came across quite well, feel much more comfortable with him doing this sort of thing than Fisher.
I thought that as well!

Offering an olive branch to Sisu? Will that be popular?...Who's this guy now on about the Coventry Phoenix Supporters Trust?
