Wasps to get off on the wrong foot with SISU? (1 Viewer)

[Samo]

...by vetoing CCFCs purchase of the Highs share.
It wouldn't be a great start would it? After all, they must have known that CCFC would have first refusal. (albeit through a nearly dead arm of the business) I hope that discussions are underway with Wasps re working in partnership, if not, and the veto is used, surely things will turn very sour very quickly.

Sisu are a pack of bandits. Ass bandits. Would rather Wasps own 100% of stadium.

Hmmm... not keen then? But to liken them to a 1970s wafer biscuit and call them homosexuals... bit strong!

SISU haven't the money to buy the Higgs shares even if they wanted to. Doesn't stop at the price of the shares other creditors of ccfc ltd will have to be paid I think, including HMRC

"As long as CCFC dont get the share then who cares?" Bleat, bleat.

Thats the spirit. Up the Wasps!

Makes you laugh doesnt it. People would rather a franchise rugby team have it.

Coventry twinned with Milton Keynes.

Samo haven't you heard the news---we have moved on we are building our own stadium in cloud cuckoo land.

Laugh isn't the word I'd use, but yeah, I know what you mean. The first to bleat about a "crap product on the pitch" too.

Fred seriously you make the same post every time. Yes we know its cloud cuckoo, everyman and his dog on the site know that.

Are you a fan of franchise clubs then?

I,am not a fan of Rugby. I do however believe that our owners are an utter disgrace and the league should never have allowed that type of organisation
to own a football team.
The CCC have a duty to the taxpayers of Coventry to regenerate the north side of Coventry and sisu where not going to do that By selling to wasps
that building work will be done. And no I do not support franchising.

Where is the detail in the Wasps takeover that they will be regenerating the area around the Arena?

If people keep posting on different threads about the same subject they will get the same answer. Basically we the fans can do nothing about it.

I'm sure you will have read all of the detail the same as everybody else.

No need. All you need is snippets. Pick the bits you like. Ignore the bits you don't. Shout loud, whack a load of exclamation marks on it. Pop in a gif. Jobs a good'n.

Similar to voting.

Yep and I cant see any cast iron information on it. I take it nor can you as perhaps you would have answered the question I asked. Have you ever worked in politics?

Edit - Fred I totally agree with your views on our owners, and that we would have no influence on the sale to Wasps, but I totally disagree with franchise sport like this, especially as its been effectively encouraged by a Council who were so rightfully upset when its City's football team left its boundary's.

 

[dongonzalos]

Council leader Ann Lucas, said the Labour party insisted on three ‘deal-breakers’ before agreeing to back the move.

She said it must allow continued regeneration of the north east of the city, allow Coventry City FC to remain at the stadium and must not disadvantage the city’s existing rugby team - Coventry Rugby Club.

But she hadnt spoken to the rugby club, it's all going of her opinion of it will damage etc.

She also said it will bring income in to the city - clearly she does not know where the premier rugby clubs are. They will trundle up the M5 , M1 , M6 etc see the game and return - no reason to actually go in to Coventry as such

No idea if it is going be near the arena but apparently Wasps unveiled the plans for their new training ground at a ST holder Q&A and from the comments on their forum it's pretty impressive stuff. Big complex with indoor and outdoor pitches. Sure the plans will turn up online before too long.

There are zero ways to do this other than to sell a football ground to a random Rugby team?

How do places regenerate run-down areas without such an option?

That's a risky strategy,someone may come In and Gazump them.

Hmm. The 7,000 love in there last season suggests that might be true.

In fairness, I think recent events have woken people up. Doubt anything like that number would go there again.

Good point, you need to be careful about making these things public. With so many other teams wanting to build training facilities you never know who might try and get in before you.

 

[bigfatronssba]

Given sisu's history of negotiations I suspect it will be sisu that will be getting off on the wrong foot with wasps.

I've just been browsing Wasps wed site & it makes me realise how Mickey Mouse the current CCFC operation is.

And by association the whole Football League operation.

 

[letsallsingtogether]

It is like a company trying to get a Stadium, but in the meantime taking the stadium owners to court?

Couldn't make it up only at CCFC.

But honestly as was said on CWR today could be 10 years before they have a new ground, if they go down that route so we are genuinely fucked, especially if we stay in this poor league, God forbid If we get relegated.....
