As I said amusing that Wasps did it within weeks and we heard not a peep from anyone.
I reckon they would have loaded up some debt against it and there would have been city wide outrage.
Haven't they already loaded up debt against CCFC, with interest on top? Yet no outrage there either.I reckon they would have loaded up some debt against it and there would have been city wide outrage.
SISU need to pay their investors, The Ricoh would of been a great asset to their investors, seems odd to think they''d sell up when they could of made more money for them in the long term.

I avoid both like the plague.No outrage!? You don't read SBT and the CT too often then.
So you believe everything SISU say then?.. Never thought the only thing they wanted was the Stadium to, Lets say, knock down and build houses, or business premises. Hang on a sec... De ja-vue....*Shudder* Had a horrible feeling then? Never stopped to think they are using our Football Club as a pawn?.. Nah! you probably haven't.Not at all. It's just that I wouldn't "shudder" at the prospect of my team owning it's own stadium and being attractive to new buyers.

Psssst Torchy... Take a look at Nicks post. The one after yours hahahaNot at all. It's just that I wouldn't "shudder" at the prospect of my team owning it's own stadium and being attractive to new buyers.
Do people honestly believe SISU came back because the council convinced them they this it was the first step to buying ACL. If they came back ACL would be sold to them.
At the same time ACL was getting sold to Wasps and SISU had no idea.
Then when they arrived back low and behold they discover they had been duped !!!!
It was never going to be sold to them!!
Wasn't there talk of them doing something like that a few years ago?You really think they would get the ricoh to knock it down and build houses? Surely the freehold owner would have a say?

The council were finding SISU impossible to deal with.
A high Court judge has looked at all this and believed SISU were just going to keep driving the price down as low as possible.
I appreciate some fans only think about Coventry City FC and if ACL went bust losing both the council and charity a shit load of money and that suits Coventry then so be it.
Personally I get what the council did.
They clearly lost trust in SISU.
They were getting blackmailed in a business sense and were getting forced into a corner.
They gave SISU one last warning to put in your best offer or they would go elsewhere.
SISU didn't put in an offer so they went elsewhere.
They now have potentially Europe's largest rugby club in Coventry.
The local charity got 2.7 million plus on ongoing deal for more money.
Wasps are involved in the planning of further business projects with the council. The Ricoh is back in action
Concerts and conferences are back in play.
The council got 2.7 million and a business partner it seems they can trust and do business with.
The football club came back to the city as oppose to been out in Northampton as a blackmail tool for 5 years.
Yes it has screwed the owners of the club and with the current arrangements temporarily the club itself.
However only as a CCFC fan could you possibly say it wasn't a shrewd and wise move by the council.
If you are one of the guys who took that decision or a neutral looking from the outside it was a very good move.
As a disgruntled Cov fan you will find every possible way to discredit it as it pissed us off massively.
I just hope in the future we get new owners who can work with Wasps in a way that it no longer screws the club.
Did you not see the video posted on here a few days ago where Tim was laughed at by saying 7000 will come? He looked serious about it, and pissed off when the room started laughing.You believe they believed 7000 would go to Northampton

Yeah I mentioned that, how is that classed as bragging? Teaching my children the value of principles.
Errrrr YES!You believe they believed 7000 would go to Northampton
Mine are 5 and 7, they've only ever known SISU, so yours are a bit lucky...I have as well, and at 15 and 11, they made their own mind up that they wanted CCFC kit and to still go to games. They still hate SISU as well.
Does that mean mine and my kids principles are any less than yours?
To name but 3.... It would give me cramp if I typed all the posters on here that give CCC grief.... a few more... Moff, cc4l, covmark, SBWM. Need I go on?.... Come on lads, come out of the woodwork for Torchy and show yourselves
Mine are 5 and 7, they've only ever known SISU, so yours are a bit lucky...

Fuck off you twat, I said there were others that slag off CCC and you are one of them... Have I told a lie?? you fucking great numpty.Sorry Mr Forum Policeman why the fuck cant I slag off CCC? I slag off SISU a lot more if that's ok with you.
And as for get out of the woodwork you fucking moron, I have just logged on to see the most imbecilic fucking twat spouting utter shit, so that is why I responded.
Fuck off you twat, I said there were others that slag off CCC and you are one of them... Have I told a lie?? you fucking great numpty.
No, you lack being assertive, but that's my opinionMy lad is ten and like his Dad lacks principles. Ah well.
No, you lack being assertive, but that's my opinion
EDIT:
Just so you know why I used the word assertive:
'Being assertive means being able to stand up for your own or other people's rights in a calm and positive way, without being either aggressive, or passively accepting 'wrong'.
Right so anyone who takes their kids to the Ricoh isn't being assertive?
'Being assertive means being able to stand up for your own or other people's rights in a calm and positive way, without being either aggressive, or passively accepting 'wrong'.
Where have I said that you can't?... Torchy was going on about it being alright to slag off SISU but not CCC. I pointed out he, Nick, and Grendel to name but 3 always do it. He then said Yes just 3 so I named another 4-5 that do it, you being one. Not lying am I? Just doing a "Nick" "For Balance" like.So, cant I slag off the Council as well as SISU you muppett.
Are you watching Grenduffy???? post #204. Now come back and say he didn't believe what he was saying!!!
