Wasps don't want to run CCFC.
Let Joe sort out a buyer
Italia, you maybe correct, but hear me out?
The Wasps need Cov in the RIcoh, to keep them there and stop them building in Bedworth would it not make sense to take on the Club. By pushing the concept of the new Stadium may encourage an offer for the club.
The other option for CCFC is to build a small new stadium which will kill our club even further, this would make gates even lower than at present. As you know a great deal of fans have already given up, some will never come back while SISU are still in control.
I can see from some of your posts you believe the Wasps are good for the City of Coventry, but a small minority do not agree. We need to either back our owners, encourage them to look at the concept of owning us or we are dead anyway.
Why would wasps want to enter into the horrible world of modern day football ownership?
Wasps don't want to run the football club. People really need to drop this idea.

Why? because it doesn't fit with your view. Don't Sisu/Otium keep saying they aren't interested in the Ricoh?
Owning a stadium and 2 established pro teams from different sports to play in it increases the value of said stadium?
What's that balanced against the level of investment/loans that you have to pour into the the 2 clubs to keep the, afloat per annum?
I thought we're cash flow positive?
Yes in league one. You know full well, that fans expect us to be in the championship as a minimum now, hence the low crowds. Those expectations will be more intense and raise under new ownership
No sure why you are being so pedantic., unless your happy with league one football.

Are people really still banging about this point! Why the hell would they want to buy our club, the overheads of running a football club (wages etc) far outstretch that of a Rugby club so why would they want to commit so much more debt to an unsuccessful football club?
Drop this silly rumour people
No, because Nick Eastwood the wasps ceo has said they are not interested, that they have enough on their plate as its a risk moving here, that's it's going to take a few years for them to breakeven at the Ricoh, that their owner cannot afford to continue funding losses. As OSB has said a number of times, makes little financial sense and the best we can hope for is that they broker a deal for a third party to buy us.
Wasps aren't owned by an Ambramovic with unlimited cash.
Its not a rumour, it's a dream.
as for why, they need the stadium to be used as much as possible, they cannot survive without a football team.
Oh, so because Nick Eastwood says it that makes it so. Didn't he also say that they have no plans to change the seats but that didn't stop everyone still saying they would and bitch and fucking moan about it for weeks. Wasn't Tim Fisher our CEO when he said (and continues to say) that CCFC don't want the Ricoh?
So it's only Abramovic who can splash out on a football club then?
Just say for saying sake that Wasps were interested in buying CCFC, do you think they would come out and say it and thereby pushing the value up, or do you think they would downplay (just like Sisu have with the Ricoh and we all know full well they want it)?
Lastly, imagine if Wasps did buy us based on the fact that we now seem to be cash flow positive and they injected say £1.5-2 million into actually buying decent players and in that season got promotion, what in terms of numbers would that do for them? £5 mil for promotion, extra revenue for bigger crowds due to promotion push and potentially further increases in crowds the following season due to bigger games in the championship? would that not be worth a punt?

Not for me. I want no part of wasps. That would be me done with the club.
But to humour you, yes if they got to the championship they would still need to pour in £5-6m per annum just to survive. They said they haven't got that kind of money or are you suggesting wasps lied to their fans in saying it was ricoh or bust?

It's got to be time up for these bunch of wasters. The time is now for them to relinquish control to the wasps and let them have a go running the two entities which would in my opinion be good for not only us & wasps but everyone involved. SISU do the right thing and get lost once and for all!!! Rant over!

Don't think Wasps will ever own our football club, but I do believe the Wasp factor could influence who does, I also believe things are afoot and maybe closer than we think, there is nothing sisu are doing presently that indicates a long term strategy.

No. MGI Fiduciary earn 150k p.a. from CCFC for the next 2+2. If they added CCFC to their stable of ''sports franchises'' they immediately lose that profit AND then own a loss-making club.
And that's why MGI are on record as saying they won't buy CCFC.
Havent you heard mate rfc has a quote from fisher Some stadium news soon
I see you're feeling better as you remembered to mention MGI again.
Tell me brainiac. If they added us to their stable of "sports franchises" which town will they be franchising us out too?
Bedworth / Treacle, as it isn't SISU doing it people would love it!
