The council could give acl a "helping hand".
Would have happened already by all accounts if it hadn't have been leaked/opposed on social media and e.mails (See Gilbert's tweets tonight)... I'll see if I can paste below;
Or they go to leagues outside England
No sorry
No responsibility
No acceptance of error
Shame really
Haven't seen that one shmmeee.Who out that email up where the councillor had basically forwarded it to Duggins and said “not my monkey, not my circus”?
Reading between the lines suggests leadership were approached, didn’t immediately tell ACL to fuck off, set the meeting up then saw that literally no one would swallow it.

Can’t recall the reasons “we” all hated Gilbert (I can’t personally remember feeling that strongly towards him).
But regardless he’s done an excellent job thus far. An axe to grind himself perhaps.

Surely now is the time to unite the stadium and club, if it doesn't happen what is the point of it all.The council will want a bidding war. SISU will not. They will play hard ball and I would not be shocked to see them do one of two things in private negotiations.
1. Make it clear to whoever wants to buy the stadium (if it's not them) that there will be no anchor tennent.
2. Tell the interested party if they want to buy the stadium and retain CCFC playing there they will need to buy into the club at an inflated figure.
SISU could sell the whole club but would want top dollar and I think they would rather a partnership as they like the rest of the bidders know the real money will be achieved when CCFC are a premiership club.
Very interesting times and SISU hold a lot if cards now.
Ann Lucas and her cronies cuddled up to wasps and sanctioned an infestation of the city's best sporting infrastructure. Those not in denial could see the project was just not going to work and we are virtually back to square one with the stadium situation!!
What is fruststing is that its the bond holders who were sold a dream that have lost most while the corporate cowboys behind the scenes swan off to another desk job.
Labour councillor. Suggest internal divisions there.It’s on this thread but the thread is fucking massive and I’ve no idea where. @Liquid Gold was it you? If so was it a Labour or story councillor?
great journalism Simon Gilbert, keep up the good work as more surely has to come out.
Is this purely because they end up looking like idiots if it all goes tits up? Too late for that isn't it, Wasps going pop did that.The council could give acl a "helping hand".

But they could get around that by going back to HeinekenMake it clear to whoever wants to buy the stadium (if it's not them) that there will be no anchor tennent.
Not sure... bit lost in all of the intricacies of the "Wasps" business, but it would keep this "arm" of it going wouldnt it??...I think??.... not sure why?.... not sure if they think they could still have them about in the Rugby Championship?......Is this purely because they end up looking like idiots if it all goes tits up? Too late for that isn't it, Wasps going pop did that.
Not seeing the benefit to risking taxpayers money. One of the alleged big selling points of the Wasps deal was that the taxpayer was no longer involved. What do the council gain from this?
This was the piece. I don’t know who posted itIt’s on this thread but the thread is fucking massive and I’ve no idea where. @Liquid Gold was it you? If so was it a Labour or story councillor?
People on here hate everyone. He's always worked hard to get answers and keep Cov in Coventry. Shame the rest of the journalists are so poor in Coventry.
Possibly when they had a big chunk of money from CVC Premiership dealHow can he seriously claim to have broken even for 6 months (big deal anyway) when there was at least £35 million to pay back, which they didn’t have
Fuck. That guy freaks me out so bad. Dateline!
Players would be mad to use it. Pick up an injury and kiss goodbye to a new club
Trained there for a whileBit of a random question but did wasps have some sort of link up with Broad Street?
Fuck. That guy freaks me out so bad. Dateline!
Did he fuck
If he’s been made redundant, why is this fucker doing a presser?Stephen Vaughan - “We're going to look at what life in the Championship would be like, we're going to see if there is still the appetite”
Going to assume he’s talking about his back pocket here.
Now you've turned half the forum against you
Possibly when they had a big chunk of money from CVC Premiership deal
Quite a stunning interview. Amazingly niave to say the least.Wasps back but in the Championship next season? If they do that down south, where they belong, then good luck to them.
I've got every sympathy for their original fans, and their current players and coaches, who are now in a shit position. But I never, ever, want to see them in this city again unless it's playing Cov RFC as the away team.
Wasps exclusive: 'We're all sad and angry, including me' - Stephen Vaughan
Group chief executive is among those who have been made redundant after Wasps entered into administrationwww.coventrytelegraph.net
Vaughan said it was pre-Covid so maybe a bit early for Commonwealth games? Plus Commonwealth games cash probably went to ACL?£10m for Commonwealth Games helping hand,?
What really needs to emerge, and hopefully will one day, is the truth about the behind the scenes conspiracy to shaft CCFC and CRFC and get into bed with Wasps. I for one can’t waitgreat journalism Simon Gilbert, keep up the good work as more surely has to come out.
they could afford to pay for it a hundred times over, but they'll want it for the cheapest possible priceAnyone else think SISU are hoping ACL go in to admin so they can bid peanuts for the CBS as they can’t afford it otherwise?
