That is the thing mate, this statement is going to confirm the direction we will be taking so hopefully some clarity can be shown today. Would they be able to say they are back in negotiations or would it be private again?I think there's more to come but I wouldn't even like to hazard a guess at what it will be.
Wasps have made one so it can only really be from SISU to be honest.
Drop the complaint and get back around the table ffs.
There's still a deal to done.

So essentially were fuckedOnce you make a complaint to the EC about possible State Aid infringement you cannot pull the complaint until they are satisfied that CCC & WASPS did not break the European Law. As Nick sez its now seems that SISU have grassed the council up! it could take a couple of years for them to come to a conclusion! However not many complaints about suspected State Aid get dismissed by the EC as they are shit hot on the subject.
How? There doesn't seem to be any way to do that. Once the complaint is made that's it, the EC decide if its worth pursing or not.Drop the complaint

Does anybody think the club will release a statement today or will they wait till next week once a goundshare is signed off
I think the longer the statement takes the more likely a groundshare will be happeningIt depends, I'd rather a statement with something about it rather than something for the sake of it.
A lot of it depends what the real motivation for Wasps pulling out of talks was. Did Wasps know about the complaint and this is just a negotiating tactic to squeeze more money out of us as time runs out or is it more sinister from their side? That they want to force the club out of existence or the city?Does anybody think the club will release a statement today or will they wait till next week once a goundshare is signed off
Literally this statement has to happen sooner rather than laterA lot of it depends what the real motivation for Wasps pulling out of talks was.

That they want to force the club out of existence or the city?
What can the club or SISU do now?
We could check with the EC if the complaint really cannot be withdrawn? (even if they could would SISU want to withdraw it?)
We could try and convince Wasps that this isn't legal proceedings and was initiated before the previous legal proceedings ended, in the hope of getting Wasps back round the table?
Get bitchy and try and prove Wasps have known about this complaint the whole time so that it sways public opinion?
Walk away and confirm the groundshare?
I mean wasn’t everyone saying we had to selling the Ricoh because the taxpayer needed to be safe guarded?
Why is everyone against the EC potentially recovering money for the tax payer now?
STATEMENT SHORTLY
V nervous
Live: Talks between Wasps and Coventry City OFF over EU complaintWhere's that been said?
The thing is, it doesn't seem as if it can be dropped. It looks more like it was "grassing the council up".
The other thing is, it would still go on if CCFC didn't play there anyway.
Exactly, the same outcome will be reached irrespective of where we are playing football. If there's nothing to hide then just do a deal and let the investigation find that
If anything kicking us out will encourage SISU to look for more ways to go after Wasps and the council.Exactly, the same outcome will be reached irrespective of where we are playing football. If there's nothing to hide then just do a deal and let the investigation find that
Is that correct though?Once you make a complaint to the EC about possible State Aid infringement you cannot pull the complaint until they are satisfied that CCC & WASPS did not break the European Law.
Is that correct though?
Didn’t Joy Sepalla say a few weeks ago if the council okayed land (Woodlands) for a stadium to be built on she would cancel legals, yet we are told the complaint to the EC was made in February. Suggests to me a complaint can be withdrawn.
The difference being the complaint aren't legals. There are no lawyers involved. Nobody is being taken to court. Sisu have grassed the council up to the EU and they are doing an investigation all on their own.Is that correct though?

That’s what I think and I see no reason negotiations should cease, in fact I think it could strengthen the Wasp/ccc hand to carry on regardless. Any of us could have complained.Or that a complaint isn't "legals".
