Yep, it was deleted. Unless you have proof about the statement then you are welcome to the legal fees from the libel
It obviously was deleted, that is why it isn't there now
Was the post quoted on page 1 deleted?:
Can't see any reason to delete that...
hahahahaaha...why would Private Eye be biased against the council and in favour of a hedge fund?!
Sold it to developers, it was Valued at £20m but the price hasn't been divulged.

Doesn't sound Too plausible ,IIRC we received £10M for HR back In the 90's.I'd imagine whoever develops that place Is looking close to half a billion on Completion ,so possibly between £50M-£100M for the land .
Think I saw something from WHU suggesting £75M ish.

Fuck me, has the twat been threatening you with legal action? The deleted post was an opinion and no more libelous than literally hundreds of posts on here every week. But then you are massively biased, so what should I expect? This place has turned into GMK MK II. No need for the superior, patronising, down your nose, tone to your reply, either, but it's what you do, isn't it?

I can live with the fact that people don't care - but I don't much like it when people pretend that this isn't a franchise move against the wishes of a majority of the Wasps support. It clearly is.
This would be the poll run by BT Sport, right? I watched the Wasps v Bath game (splitter!), but didn't notice the poll - I think they said that during the show it had been 50/50 on twitter. Interesting, given of course that most of the die-hard fans were actually at the game watching live, rather than sat watching BT Sport and posting into social media.
I also noticed that they gave Wasps owner a fair bit of time to explain the move, but they didn't exactly put him under pressure with awkward questions. They also didn't put any fans up to offer a counter argument that I could see. Could this be because BT Sport is heavily invested in Premiership Rugby perhaps?
The truth is that there are an awful lot of Wasps fans very upset by the move. You could either use a bit of empathy and put yourselves in their shoes, or you could read their boards and/or petition to see it for yourself if you wanted.

A little context too...
Sudbury never got great gates as far as I'm aware. In fact, historically, Coventry RFC are far far *far* better supported than Wasps.
professionalism came in, a wealthy backer moved them to Loftus Road, money was forthcoming for a housing estate for Sudbury in the name of progress, the club goes to Wycombe...
The club doesn't necessarily have fans with an attachment to space and place and, rather than this being a reason why they should thus come to Coventry, it shows instead the folly of moving a club around the country... as such fans will define fickle, and won't be around when the club dips in form (as all clubs do, inevitably, at some stage).
Wasps pay the price for moving round the country already, if any fans are not as fussed, as they're there for leisure rather than passion... and that's not the sport's problem, that's the club's problem for selling out its identity.
So... the long term route to success would have been for Richardson to have bought out Coventry RFC, as it probably has a stronger supporter base for foundations. But, of course, they don't have the ready made top flight place and TV exposure...

You don't reward an existing franchise by enabling it to move even further away from it's core support, surely.
Pathetic article - anyone thinking otherwise should sit down and read the judicial review.
List the elements that are untrue then - or are you struggling and the truth hurts council boy?
What has the jr got to do with wasps?Pathetic article - anyone thinking otherwise should sit down and read the judicial review.
Funniest thing on that list was ACL - priceless.
What is Priceless is that a consortium/ hedgefund whatever, has come into SISU's area, done due diligence, built up a relationship with the council and Higg's and bought a 250 lease at a decent price ( according to Touch ) for the Ricoh. Our tossers have had over 7 years to work that out and have failed abysmally.
Court cases, spin, crap directors, bad negotiating, screwed up their " relationship " with higgs, CCC, the fans and about everyone in Cov, spin from "head of spin" Labovitch, smoking guns, watch this space and so on and so on....
CCFC Ltd in Liquidation, the club relegated, top players sold and now languishing in the bottom half of League 1....
As I say ... priceless. It gets better though. You, Torch and Nick revelling in a badly written and extremely biased article in a grubby magazine.
What about our club? No. You are worried about the poor Wasps fans ( about 50% ) who are not happy with the move. I am worried about CCfC and where on earth we are heading ( literally unfortunately ).

Has Ann promised you a reduction in your community charge for your loyalty ? I hope for your sake its in writing and has been minuted.
Why are you getting one when they get the money for the NEC? Nar nar na nar nar
Some utter crap on here now all just trying to score points.
So you now have a reason to really slag off Coventry.
This deal is not going to change we need to move on...
Football football football fuck the politics
But it might change....

If said 'grubby magazine' had written an article slamming SISU you'd be all over it like it was last month's Razzle....
When the sale goes through will the council a) stop using Weber Shandwick or b) continue to engage them and disclose how much they are paying?
If said 'grubby magazine' had written an article slamming SISU you'd be all over it like it was last month's Razzle....
Yes, if it was well written and unbiased....
I can assure you that last month's Razzle was extremely well written and entirely unbiased.
Missed this thread yesterday so apologise if I am duplicating anything already written.
I foind the ironyometer exploded when it became clear that all those who lauded Private Eye for writing two damning articles about SISU last year, and praised its investigative journalism, are now accusing it of biased and unfactual journalism, after it has written an equally unflattering piece on Ann Lucas and the Council.
Laughable really
It's quite simple I guess. If you read 2 articles, and one is mostly factual and the other is not, then you would be right to take a different view on each wouldn't you?
In this case? who knows, I haven't looked back at the SISU stuff that was printed. Have you?
Yeah, Private Eye, tool of the establishment, easily bought off for money or favours.
