Hi Dai, appreciate what you're saying here, and it's all fair enough. But as I see it there was always the hope that SISU would either see sense, or sell to someone that did, and either way the club would sooner or later have to get serious about a deal for the Ricoh/ACL. Almost everyone other than Tim and Joy knows that a new stadium doesn't really add up, and I think most people would agree that the city is better off with CCFC thriving at the Ricoh. You'd have think that at some point positions at both ends would have started to shift.
SISU won't be here forever, but the club is now effectively shut out of ever having a share of ACL. To have made this deal literally a few weeks after the "let's build trust and see where it goes" speech is just wrong to me.
I'm not pretending that it isn't SISU who have led us to where we are - but it is still the council who chose to sell to Wasps, no one forced them to do it.
Like I say, I'm going to leave this. I fully accept there are different opinions, and yours is as well-made and valid as anyone else's.
Me arguing here isn't going to change anything, but anytime someone from the council pops up to say this was the right thing to do for the city, I'm going to feel a bit aggrieved. From where I'm sitting that's really not true.
