Well if Richardson ends up with everything back in his hands and the debt wiped, all the internet points are yours
Just remember people said it was a conspiracy when I said the trust were working with wasps with Hoffman...

Not sure about everything back.
Still got his fingers in pies.
It's not a quote attributed to anybody, the article just vaguely says 'The Hottinger package involved match-funding from Coventry City Council'. Does it mean CCC would match the investment funding, or is it about funding of matches? Either way, surely not something that would get through.Can somebody explain this match funding quote. What would it entail and how much would it cost

Won’t be buying one of those then todayNot sure about everything back.

This is what I said before and what I fully expect to happen.Pudsey aka Wasps Kit Man keeps tweeting hints that something is going on.
Here’s another one. The more I think about it the more I think Ashley and Richardson are working together and that Wasps will still be at the CBS moving forward. I’m praying they’re not.
He needs to calm his out down fast as he is hinting at things more on Hope then fact.This is what I said before and what I fully expect to happen.
Reminds me of this thread, to be fair.He needs to calm his out down fast as he is hinting at things more on Hope then fact.
Well Ashley needs to be careful as any good will he may have will go with a puff of smoke if that lot are allowed back in the city.Reminds me of this thread, to be fair.
Unfortunately, I don’t think we’ve seen the end of the franchise in the city either.
I don’t think they are somehow.He needs to calm his out down fast as he is hinting at things more on Hope then fact.
If I was paying his salary I’d ask him to stop tweeting stuff and raising hopes up.
Wasps are finished in Coventry.
Really cant see wasps entertaining the thought of 'slumming it' at the Butts.Has anyone considered that Wasps may be looking to ground share with Cov Rugby? Whilst unthinkable a couple of seasons ago, a lot of clubs may be looking to consolidate given the financial state of their game, it wouldn‘t surprise me if they attempted to play the ‘rugby family’ card. There could be a clash of fixtures, but that’s not insurmountable.
I don’t think they are somehow.
If Ashley ends up with the Arena, he will look at the endeavour from a commercial viewpoint and, unfortunately, the added advertising and merchandising aspect will come into play.
That Richardson is still involved and the seemingly duplicitous noises coming from CCC add weight to that.
This current state of affairs hasn’t been what it seems at so many levels.
Gilbert could do worse than write a book about this period when the dust settles.
They could do that and eventually merge into one club. That would be fantastic.Has anyone considered that Wasps may be looking to ground share with Cov Rugby?

Can't see any upside for Cov Rugby. They'd be competing for finite resources in an already small market.Has anyone considered that Wasps may be looking to ground share with Cov Rugby?

Whats a selling club exactly?
No dirty yellow anywhere though. Not having that!They could do that and eventually merge into one club. That would be fantastic.
So Wasps rugby club and Coventry. They could keep the "Rugby and Club" parts of the name and we would keep the Coventry bit, so it would then just become Coventry Rugby Club.
Cov would obviously keep the traditional colours of the city, because this is Coventry, but as a compromise, we will keep using a black font for Wasps' benefit.
Job done.
No dirty yellow anywhere though. Not having that!
Richardson is right, no point voting on a deal that had zero chance of success given the match funding from CCC was not happeningDT this morning - a disgrace
