This cash flow positive thing is temporary, in the close season they will inevitably be cash flow negative, all clubs are! It is the balance over a season or more that is important.
Love it how someone mentions 20,000 required by Wasps and people take it on board as fact.
Just like 23,000 was required for CCFC yet evidently (TF) we are now cash positive on 7,000.
Hopefully Sisu now know they won't get the Ricoh cheap and will piss off.
WASPS working on a match average per season of 20000 (paying) tickets and 1500 covers in the restaurant etc
No more like 25,000
A mentalist said:Was applying aged urine to a wasp sting the correct initial or final thing to do?
Well, I don't really care.. it is Rugby..
I do, surly the bigger crowds they get hopefully they will be able to keep CCFC rent down, something someone could ask at the Trust meeting on Monday....
They will never get that will they?
Looking at last year, Leic Tigers averaged 22K, then there were 7 other teams averaging over 10K, pretty evenly spread from 18K to 11K.. Wasps averaged 14K, so they must have played somewhere else than Adams park a few times.
Why would they want to keep CCFC rent down? Wasps are a business, not a charity. They'll want CCFC to pay as much as they can afford - Wasps crowds will be an irrelevance to this.
I don't know whether some people here have really grasped this yet - Wasps buying out ACL isn't (despite CCC claims) likely to benefit the club. We might, as fans, been able to put some pressure on the council to cut CCFC a deal on certain things, we'll have very little chance of making Wasps do that.
All Wasps will want from us is the rent, their only interest in us is that we survive to maintain those payments.
If the rumours are right, the rent we are paying is minimal so cannot be a key part of wasps business strategy when they need to be covering the £3m losses they've been making each season and presumably they would like to make a lot more than that to turn wasps into a truly top franchise. No one has provided a single fact as to why wasps will be good for ccfc - it's just wishful thinking and desperation for something good to happen to us. It is far more likely that Wasps plan is based on maximising non-sporting revenue from the ricoh with ccfc arguably an irrelevance in wasps overall plan.
Well Michael we are an irrelevance to a lot of people including the majority of fans we had seven years ago.

My wish now is for them to make an offer for the football club. How likely do you think that that is?

I can't think of anything worse, swapping shit hedge fund for a bunch of idiots who have no qualms about franchising sports teams.
On the plus side for some on here, it'll give you someone else to fawn over until they show their true colours.

What do you propose then?
They have shown there true colours.
They have committed to the Ricoh within minutes rather than pussy around and put the club back at least 50 years.
What do you propose then? happy to stick with Sisu because their plan seems to be working well, doesn't it? Can you guarantee 100% that Wasps would be as bad as SiSU, because I can tell you 100% that Sisu have been a total disaster.
Nobody can guarantee anything in the future. However look at the layers of holding companies in Wasps' business which ultimately lead to a generically named company registered in Malta. Derek Richardson is no different to Seppala-he relocated the club to Coventry for starters.
The parallels with SISU are uncanny.
It's depressing that many have learnt nothing from having sisu as owners and are desperate for Wasps to take us over.
The parallels with SISU are uncanny.
At least they know how to buy a stadium. Just imagine if the parallels were uncanny and Sisu could've actually bought the Ricoh.
Or they'd be moaning about a Coventry children's charity being ripped off. Or the community asset is in the grubby hands of the evil Sisu.At least they know how to buy a stadium. Just imagine if the parallels were uncanny and Sisu could've actually bought the Ricoh. Mind you, what would some of the drama queens on here have to moan about if Wasps hadn't bought the Ricoh, oh yes that's it, they would be moaning about a white elephant or something about CCC.

Aside from the fact that they knew how to take over ACL when SISU got it so so wrong.
Why the hell would the owner of Wasps take over CCFC he has a few Quid, but he would have to have a lot more to take us over.
Or will Sisu take the debt with them for free?
Owning one club is madness owning 2 non profitable clubs is just suicidal..
