Mail reporting Mike Ashley has held talks with Wasps
you think the NEC Group would kick out the biggest tenants of the stadium bowl who bring hundreds of thousands of people to the venue every year? if anything we'll become the priority and Wasps will be forced to fit in around our needs.Because I feel like NEC wouldn’t bother dealing with SISUs shit in 7 years time.
Do you think it possible that they would seek to evict the sports clubs when practicable?
Buy acl 2006 and the lease doesn't have to revert, be rewritten or transfer. CCC cannot unreasonably object to such a sale.
As for a stadium operator not wanting the pitch to be used and kick us out why would they do that. Why kiss goodbye to the income, the footfall, the PR etc?

NEC Group are a professional outfit, they're not going to come in and tell the football club to piss off or hike the rent to unsustainable levels. If anything they'll concentrate on the exhibition side of the business and be happy they've got a use for the stadium 20 plus event days a yearAgain it depends on what shit SISU come up with.
they Could treble our rent, could still have Wasps leasing.
There’s also no guarentee we’ll be a championship club

Sweet baby Jesus, Ashley might want to buy the club.
In the words of Liv Soprano, 'I wish the Lord would take me now'.
I still think the Alexanda Stadium works as a more viable home for them. It's smaller in capacity but in a bigger city without an established club and they wouldn't be putting backs up like they did here taking our home away.If the rugby club get separated from the stadium you have to wonder about their long term future here. There wouldn't be much to tie them to a stadium far too big for them in a city where they aren't exactly welcomed with open arms and have little history.
At what point does whoever end up owning Wasps start running the figures to see if they're more financially viable elsewhere. If its someone with a history with Wasps you could even potentially have a situation where they want to be seen as the saviour who takes them home.
Don't think they will be imminently leaving but losing the stadium would certainly bring uncertainty about their long term future here.
He would be a considerable step up from the current shysters
Having to deal with an entity that spends more time in court than on the pitch might not be what they want?
Dont worry all Gilbert has heard many things !
Sounds like that’s his plan according to that articleAshley is too hard nosed to pump £50m into a rugby club that pisses £10m a year away.
It would only work if he got the whole lot including us. I don't see it happening though.
Yes, they do have "supporters". Sadly though, these supporters have been/were willing to see CCFC destroyed to spite the owners.If the Council get the lease back and sold it to AN Other and it effectively shafted the football club, then I for one would happily lead the march to the Council House with a pitchfork. Probably jumping the gun, but do CCFC have any sort of 'support/ers' within The Council ?
The problem is having endured the current shysters I'm not ready to endure another one just because he's slightly better.
I don't agree he'd be considerably better to be honest.
I think he would be better. He knows the money is in the PL so would probably bankroll a push to get there and then try and tread water to cream while we're there. Our ambition would be 17th in the PL but that's a hell of a lot better than likely dropping back to L1 before too long.The problem is having endured the current shysters I'm not ready to endure another one just because he's slightly better.
I don't agree he'd be considerably better to be honest.
I just don't see why you'd pay £50m for Wasps and the arena plus what, £30m to make sisu piss off? £80m is a lot of money for three loss making entities.Sounds like that’s his plan according to that article
Why would sisu go to court with any new owners though?
dirty sodI believe I saw Mike Ashley yesterday as a passenger in a Range Rover coming off at J1 of the M6.
May have been just a lookalike (most probably was), I just like to get involved.
the ones I want to see involved are AEG. not only would we get some decent gigs there would be a decent chance they'd buy us as well.Dont worry all Gilbert has heard many things !
They've been diversifying into owning and operating other exhibition and concert venues. They will just want the venue.Would NEC want to purchase the football club though or just give a lease SISU and we just carry on plodding along
