That Amy Toosh is having a mare on Twitter.
Basically, Cov fans are big bad bullies and Wasps fans were justified in their chortling at CCFCs situation.
So Richardson hands the training ground over to his mate, the playing staff have been kicked out and the codes changed.

It’s midweek isn’t it oops sorry thanksWhy would our game away at Stoke be called off?
Got this feeling they won't sell whatever and whoever buys the stadium we'll be renting and stuck with SISU forever
5 September 2014 - Coventry City v Gillingham
7 Oct 2014 - Council vote unanimously on sale of Coventry's Ricoh Arena

Third time now so I’ll leave it if you don’t want to address it but you’ve spent a long time yourself claiming the deal was done well before then, it was certainly done at least a month or two prior I’d imagine.
The fact remains if we’d never left they’d never have come.
I know exactly how you feel, but I also can't believe that SISU want to be here forever. I think that there's a price they'd sell at, I just don't know what it is.
I do wonder if the best way of prising the club out of SISU's hands is for an offer to include a bonus if the club does get promoted.
Whatever happens, I think that Wasps losing control of the stadium will turn out to be positive for us. Maybe I'm kidding myself, but suddenly there seems to be a lot more things in play.

You said Wasps didn't move into the stadium that housed CCFC.
I literally pointed out they did.
I agree. The deal structure could be say £20m now (pick figure to suit - they will probably want more) which covers value of players, golden share (if they can find it) etc and then an upside if promotion is achieved within X years.
Maybe I’m forever the optimist, however, ever since Wasps were obviously in big financial trouble I’ve felt this could be the best chance in recent years of someone coming in for us…assuming stadium is available
And I literally conceded that in my first reply but said that the deal would’ve started before we were back.
Don't believe that for a start. Didn't they meet a delegation from Wasps the previous year? It's been a long time now but I seem to remember us all arguing over that point too.
absolute nonsense. The council were dropping their trousers to wasps a year before we went to sixfields weren’t they? It was literally leaked in an emailThe fact remains if we’d never left they’d never have come.

Why do you keep moving the goalposts?What term lease did we have?
Exactly. The idea Wasps moved in while we were seriously at the Ricoh is nonsense. As soon as the club left and signalled it didn’t want the ground it was open season.

Yeah, it's entirely possible to despise Wasps for turning up, despise CCC for arranging a sale to an out of town sports club... but also despise SISU for actions that left us without a home. That in itself would have been fine if their promised Plan A of a new ground had shown any sign of actually happening! As it is, they've managed to be negligent on that too, and managed to play fast and loose with our club on that, too!Im with Shmmeee on this. The council are far from blameless but SISU opened the door with their actions. They tried to play hardball, wanting to pick up stadium for nothing/next to nothing and failed….got another chance now

Yeah, but you take me, Grendel and Nick out and you are down to about 12.
Now Wasps are biting the bullet we can focus on getting rid of SISu nowNobody has actually said SISU are blameless.
Just that Wasps moved here while CCFC played at the Ricoh.
Which is still more than the amount of season tickets Wasps will sell next yearHaha. By the same token, take out Bloke in Dorset, Neils, Shugs and Nelly Nelly, they're down to about 2
