I've tried several times to get on the record comment from CRC, Wasps and CCFC - neither wish to speak with us. I can't force them to comment or take a stance and, if they won't, how can we report it?
Your obviously not very bright when all you can do is name call when confronted with the truth. Yours are not the responses of a real man !
was saying that it made sense for CCC and AEHC to sell up that it was an excellent deal for them. That it didn't mean that CCFC had to go. That there were opportunities for CCFC to do a longer deal that got them income streams including shares in naming rights and sponsorship. That it was the income streams that were important not the ownership. That there was an opportunity for Wasps and CCFC to work together that would benefit both. That stadiums had to be used more than 23 days a year and were capable of greater use. That there were deals to be done if both sides (Wasps and CCFC) wanted it ..... in fact that a partnership between the two of some kind was a good solution
But if Wasps own it and we just rent it and they do turn all the seats to yellow and black, it's not going to feel at all like our stadium is it.
I also fail to see how this will effect CCFC unless the the current two year rental +two year option is off the table.
I would like someone to explain ?
no Otis it isn't but its still an IF. Would they change the seat colours though? Would they even take the badges down? Could Wasps change their colours? Which brings in the bigger footfall? Could both negotiate something that suits both?
Interesting listening to CWR at the mo. Wasps fans dead against.
I think It's telling that SISU returned the Club to the Stadium ,whilst having knowledge of these moves ,suggests Involvement of some sort to me.

Thing is did SISU have knowledge or did they become aware when this prospectus surfaced ? In which case the deal was a long way down the line by that time. I get the feeling that they feel betrayed by what has gone on, certainly Peter Ward from the SCG seemed to hint at that kind of feeling on CWR this morning and he is closer to CCFC, Fisher etc than most.
Have CCFC been able to contact CCC or Wasps about this? Every likelihood that CCC/ACL/AEHC/Wasps are subject to NDA's and exclusivity agreements so I would think they can not respond in any case.
I think what really irks them is that had they stayed away then they would have had more options (no fans but more options). Now the club is back at the Ricoh then they have at least one arm tied behind their back - the only out other than staying is to build.
Also I would guess there will be the argument that bringing the club back added worth to the stadium value in this Wasps deal and that some how they were brought back under false pretences to benefit CCC/AEHC in the deal. I would question just how much worth a financially strapped mid table L1 team with a fast fading brand on a guaranteed 2 year deal adds to it. Had they committed to a long term deal then yes there is worth but even then how much?
After all, a similar news story popped up a couple of years ago.

fisher seemed to be hinting at being locked out of an opportunity immediately after move back,thinking about It your analysis stacks up better than mine .
If this was just some finance group buying ACL that wasn't bringing another sports franchise then would there be half the furore going on? It would just be a change of landlord wouldn't it?
Question:
Does SISU stilll have the option to buy out the charity's share of ACL?

I don't think anyone should wait for SISU/ARVO to make an offer, they've had years to make one & all their offers were below value.
Didn't help of course when Mutton was banging on about the Council half not for sale, and certainly not for sale to SISU.
Turns out the second half may well have been true, if not the first...
If the consortium buy it yes -- so the council are buying it to get round that

I have no doubt in my mind that sisu have been well and truly shafted with all this. I also think those behind all this waited for our Ricoh return before showing their hand too much of a coincidence to me. Sisu are stuck either way, can't bid for the Ricoh as they haven't got the money and what investor can they attract with their much publicised running of the football club. As for the future to me it is just a change of landlord who will need us, the football club, to earn money. The bigger question is does this spell the beginning of the end of sisu's involvement here, I believe it does. Of course Timmy and his friends could go ahead and attempt to build their desired stadium OR they could hang about a while and share the Butts Park Arena.
Mutton got replaced & with him that attitude, if you look there have been many statements from Ann Lucas about being 'open to offers', but without any offers it was inevitable something like this would happen.
My heart bleeds for Sisu what goes around comes around is the saying !
