So at the time the council wanted an unrealistic price
Its true value is about the same as the club paid for Freddie Eastwood (including wages) on a dice year contract.
A premier league stadium worth the same as a Southend journeyman.
Something is wrong somewhere.
Where did the council come into this? I'm saying that we had the option for the Higgs share of ACL (at a formula price) and buying that would have given us what I listed earlier. We'd have certainly avoided being sidelined by the council being approached by Wasps. I've said all along that if we weren't carefull if someone else went into the Ricoh we'd end up at best playing second fiddle and at worst homeless.
So the council veto was void at that time?
Sorry I wasn't aware of that - how did they word this in the share agreement?

Ccc only ever wanted someone prepared to build a hotel. They often said that would be critical to them accepting a share of ownershipThere's the key line - selling ACL to Wasps isn't reversible, it's done. No matter what owners CCFC gets in the future, or however nice they are compared to SISU, there's no way back from that.
Wasps have been quite clear that they want 100% of the 24/7/365 income from the Ricoh, and that's what the Council and AEHC have given them, and for 250 years.
So, CCFC now either stay as tenants with extremely limited access to further revenue streams, or they build a new stadium. I find it hard to believe that anyone who understands that could possibly be happy, unless all that actually mattered to them was that SISU lose.

Wasps manage to negotiate a 2.77 mil. deal and yet Shitzu can't (a sitting tenant).....Says it all really does it not!
How do you know the council didn't ask them first?

According to the Telegraph Lucas said on CWR on the day the deal was announced that Wasps first approached them in the summer.
But then the Wasps guy said it was a deal 2 years in the planning... which is before the rent strike.

What did she say on sky sports about the 50% share of Higgs?
What did she actually say about wasps contacting them?
No idea what she said on Sky I don't have it.
The message seems clear to me.....Shitzu....your bully boy London tactics do not work here in the Midlands so f.....g well get the hell out of our City!!!!

The message is clear to me. We hate London hedge funds, but we love London rugby clubs that are backed by hedge funds.The message seems clear to me.....Shitzu....your bully boy London tactics do not work here in the Midlands so f.....g well get the hell out of our City!!!!

Plank!
Oh and Shitzu, fucking hell you're funny.
This ridiculous idea that you can 'plan a move for 2 years' yet decide the location in the last 3 months. There really are some proper mouth-breathers on here.
A spectacular failure at the expense of CCFC and the fans
I know its hilarious. All of a sudden in July someone phoned the old croak out of the blue and deal done quicker than it takes to deliver a bed from John Lewis.
There really are some thick idiots on here.
Perhaps legal tony printed the new lease off for the deal to happen so quick.

Maybe wasps have been interested for a long time and were told what the council were looking for and needed to see if they could raise the funds to do it.
Then maybe they came back to the council and said they can meet the demands.
Maybe this is when the council gave SISU the deadline of January and said they would listen to sensible offers from all parties including SISU and asked JS to get in touch.
Maybe post January when JS had not been in touch and the only offer came from wasps they pushed on with it. Even when CCFC came back temporarily (whilst building our new stadium)
Also just a guess but whatever the time frame SISU were given numerous hints that a deal was there to be had and that the council would look elsewhere if SISU did not want to do the deal

So it's NOT about a great deal for the Coventry taxpayer. Regeneration etc? At least that's clear.
As someone who's been to the Ricoh this evening and met with and heard Nick Eastwood speaking; you're wrong. It may not be a deal that suits CCFC - that's clear, but it is part of a bigger picture that you're unaware of
