Its a massive coincidence the pr is ramped up.
How much would a company cost wasps and the council?
I expect Hoffman to be mainstream within 2 weeks.

Awesome
I think we are stuffed mate (in all seriousness)So who thinks what will happen by the end of the deadline place your bets!
Proper fucked.Proper fucked?

How about this...
Lucas v Seppalla as the first bout
Fisher v the Wasps bloke as the second
Boddy v PWKH the third
Tenner entry, it would fill the Ricoh
But Seppala wanted only hard cash, not maybe sometime add ons. The deal was dressed up as £20m it was nothing of the sort and was rejected immediately
"We already know what the club means to the people of the city, but we don't really give a shit about them. "
A contemptuous attitude for a council to take.

You'd think if they had nothing to worry about they'd just let the court case run its course and take damages. Never say right with me that they are trying to make Sisu drop the action at all costs, even if it means losing the football team.
Which services should they cut to fund the ongoing legal costs?
Would you say CCFC is more or less important to the citizens of Coventry than say social care?
It’s easy to get all high and mighty about how important we are. But the cold hard truth is, outside of the fan base we aren’t.
And last time the council stepped in to bail out the club it ended in tears.
It’s nice to rant at them, because it’s the council innit and they’re to blame for everything from too many students to potholes to the colour that private organisations paint their buildings. But in reality the responsible thing for them to do as a local authority is to minimise costs, not spend hundreds of thousands bailing out football clubs (or festivals for that matter)

They'll recover some legal costs when they win which they say is a formality. They'll have a legal budget in any case. They are blasè about money for getting ex staff to sign non disclosure agreements, or overspending on concerts so let's not get into the cutting services stuff.Which services should they cut to fund the ongoing legal costs?

...and it was incredibly boring …..they all need to get together and talk etc blah, blah, blah, tell us what their intentions are etc. Been saying this for years.Don't know if it's been mentioned yet, but BBC Midlands Today are reporting live from the Ricoh in a few minutes.
This is glossed over too often. As pointless as we all know the legal action is sets a dangerous precedent if you also public bodies to essentially blackmail other parties in to dropping legal action.You'd think if they had nothing to worry about they'd just let the court case run its course and take damages. Never say right with me that they are trying to make Sisu drop the action at all costs, even if it means losing the football team.
None, the council has huge reserves they can use to cover this in the short-term and then restore the reserves when they win and are awarded costs.Which services should they cut to fund the ongoing legal costs?
The cold hard truth is hugely important to the city. It generates millions for the local economy, employs local people and one the most recognisable things about the city nationally and internationally.It’s easy to get all high and mighty about how important we are.

Also the club accounts are due just before the Mar 5th deadline. It will be interesting to see how the auditors report in the light of the present situation, that is if the accounts are not delayed as I would expect.Not surprised about the date timeline I think we will find it’s within the EFL rule book there is a procedure to follow. I think the next crucial stage will be the Premier Court appeal decision. Now if that appeal is granted I think Wasps might relent for 12 months but if the appeal is turned down and sisu go down which I believe they can the European court route or civil court action then I think Wasps could dig their heels in big time.

…...or even less than 20 million ……..50pRealise theres some large figures being put around £30M £60M etc and the arguement is its not a loss until it's realised.
But if we're chucked out of the league and SISU liquidate us, doesn't that effectively make the loss "real". Would it not be sensible to sell for £20M and lose less money?

Nearly as many as fans groups turnedAnother thread turned
My guess is that CCFC will ignore the 5th March deadline and put the ball back in the EFL'S court and play them until the last minute.
But it isn’t really IN the EFL court, there are rules and procedures. There are also 72 EFL members and if one or two complain to the EFL higherarchy a rule is not being adhered to the league are duty bound to act. Now if I was chairman of one of the three or four battling for league survival at the bottom of division two I’d be screaming for the rule book to be adhered to.My guess is that CCFC will ignore the 5th March deadline and put the ball back in the EFL'S court and play them until the last minute.
Why is there a vote? Surely not having a ground means you can't fulfil your fixtures. What happens when its then the first day of the season and there's still nowhere to play?The special meeting in April will require 75% of the members to vote for ccfc expulsion assuming company law applies
Granted it's a different league but a certain top 4 club has got away with it all seasonWhy is there a vote? Surely not having a ground means you can't fulfil your fixtures. What happens when its then the first day of the season and there's still nowhere to play?
But one or two members can submit complaints at the special EGM which will then be debated and if a rule is seen as being broken a vote on what decision is taken will be held. If we still can’t provide a suitable home ground I can’t see how we ccfc survive that vote, to me it’s black and white.The special meeting in April will require 75% of the members to vote for ccfc expulsion assuming company law applies
One or two clubs feeling hard done by won't do it
That also means you have to question the level of pressure on sisu i
