Cut back, cut back, lose games, lose fans, get relegated, then get relegated again and then relegated once more until suddenly the current 3,000 capacity in place at the Butts is more than enough for us.

Then move to the Butts, job done. No new stadium, but new home, cloth accordingly cut.

One missing item - use the football club as a front for extracting compensation from CCC. Then liquidate them when all avenues for a successful outcome is exhausted.

If they ever do move us again, I hope it's Belgium. At least euthanasia is legal there.

Yes and then reduce the 60 million you've lost by approx £2000 PA

Yet it is still their best plan on getting their money back so far.

Thank God CCC didn't sell the Ricoh to them. First thing they would have done is mortgage the place.

I'm so proud of those who wrote to the council begging not to sell to the club. We wouldn't have had Wasps here then.

Phew, lucky escape.

To be fair, this isn't so far from a potential truth; the lower we fall the greater the claim for lost revinue if they win the court case AND the less the cost of running the club.

If they are making a small loss each year they can at least pretend that they are trying and have been supporting the club too.

To be fair, Torch, the word back from the council was that they had absolutely no intention to sell to Sisu anyway. There was an 'over our dead body ' policy.

Word was they thoroughly disliked them and totally didn't trust them an inch.


We might not trust the council either, but cannot argue with that lack of trust stance at all from them towards our lovely, cuddly owners.

Council's mind was already made up at the time.

I think we would if we were non league.

Be absolutely pointless playing at the Ricoh and the Butts with a 3,000 capacity would do the job nicely.

Let's just say, it might suit their needs if it does happen and they are not at all bothered about whether we are relegated or not.

No intention to sell to SISU, fine. Don't think anyone objected or had a problem with that. Don't sell it to Wasps though.

Trust the council? The same council who found Reeves of no wrongdoing regarding the rugby tickets. You're right we don't trust them.

This is the problem as fans and a club we have, we can't trust anyone and have no one to help us.

Agreed.

I do understand the council selling to Wasps, as wrong as it seems to us.

Looks like it might be a good piece of business for 'the city of Coventry' even though morally wrong and bad news for the City and Cov.

Great for them to have Premiership rugby on their doorstep and I am sure they feel it ups the city's profile, but it is still terrible for us.

It's wrong, in part because of what they said when we moved. Does it not now appear CCC were saying those things so to appeal to CCFC fans to get them on side? For the blame to be put on SISU. If they didn't agree with teams moving, they would of rejected Wasps advances? Despite the animosity between SISU and CCC.

A good piece of business for the city, I suppose yeah. At what cost to CCFC and CRFC? Have they upped the cities profile? Debateable.

Premiership rugby, which could of been found at Leicester, Northampton or Worcester. We are informed after all the rugby fans are coming from all round the Midlands to watch as they don't mind travelling.

It's OK to think SISU are crap owners without thinking they're also set on some weird conspiracy to destroy the club, sell all the assets, salt the earth and shag everyone's wives on the way out.

To my mind they seem too incompetent to make such a conspiracy theory work anyway.

I think they are hoping that Calum Wilson, plus possibly Maddison etc will bring in the occasional influx of money, through add ons/sell ons,and if they can run the rest at close to break even, they will be happy (until the court cases cease). After that I haven't got a clue what they intend,but if they keep cutting and have no vision beyond this point, then I am all for positive action by fans to 'hurt' them (in a legal way, of course)

Wasps associated with the city of Coventry though. That's what they want and stuff like the Rugby League internationals and big rugby games here.

That ups the profile, rightly or wrongly.

Indeed, nail on the head, mate. I've seen it for a long time, this 'Operation Parasite'.

What SISU don't seem to realise, is that at the latter part of their plan they'll have great difficulty drawing 3000 fans.

Actually, they'd probably physically draw people on the seats for the opportunity to say: ''Look, full house again, Joy!''

Associated with moving 95 miles to Coventry too. How does that look to people from outside of Coventry?

I would hope that with even just one more relegation even the most ardent of fans would not give the scheming crooks another penny and that by then enough protests will finally have the FL launching a full enquiry.

Yep, they sold them for £10 now and £5 when they make an appearance for England.
