If not, why not?
In the respect of the council saying it won't have any impact on CCFC. (Or whatever they said)
Then yes it has had a negative impact.
In respect of what has caused the damage itself. Our owners creating the situation that allowed Wasps to come in.
"We have taken a decision that will benefit city taxpayers and secure the future of one of our most important and best loved public assets that brings great benefits to Coventry people...."
Because I hate SISU so much I don't care about anything else.If not, why not?
The only thing that 'allowed' Wasps to come in was the council. After all, the council said of its loan to ACL in January 2013 (whilst the club was not paying rent):
The fact ACL was ever struggling was down to the council who set it up with a £21m debt from day one.
It will unless sisu drop Wasp related legals, I'm convinced Wasp higherarchy will stick to their guns of no talks whilst legals are live.
Rent strikes, agreeing deals abd then reneging. Moving to Northampton then bluffing about never returning. Ignoring a deadline to put in out best offer.
That allowed the Wasps to sting.
They may not want to , but when it comes to the bonds being repaid they may find they have to.I still think that with different owners, WASPS will be prepared to sell 50%

Disagree. They need the money themselves.
What about when we came back and CCC hinted at future ownership?
Despite SISU there was no excuse to sell the stadium to Wasps. Remember Lucas saying no team should be ripped from its community. She obviously didn't mean Wasps.
I wont go into her statement regarding only agreeing to sale as she'd had assurances indigenous teams wouldn't be adversely affected.
Pardon my French but that was bollocks although I'm sure you can spin it differently.

We all knew that AL was spouting shit and we have been proved right, although tbf they have loaned cov a couple of players lately. It would be interesting though if that would continue should they get promoted in the next year or 2.What about when we came back and CCC hinted at future ownership?

Correct nick, not by choice I agree but they might not end up having one.No chance, not by choice

Weird that when some are "spouting shit" they seem to get away with it.
Is she still leader?
The new one said no comment and it got left at that.Is she still leader?
Nobody has ever been prepared to buy 50% and split decisions on how the business is run - they've seen how that went with CCC and Higgs, and how hard it was to shift one half of it on without the other.

Did she get away with it?
I think there's the chance that we could buy the right's to revenue streams, even a share of the naming rights. If not a share of ACL itself. New owners should be looking at the West Ham/Olympic stadium model and try and emulate that. Two things stopping that at the moment. 1) No one want's to deal with our current owners. 2) It ain't going to happen anyway under SISU.

So she went based on that?I don't think so no. Otherwise I think she would still be at the helm. The same for Mr Mutton.
No. Stadium is too big and we are too poor to buy it or create a team that will fill it.
Wasps bought a piece of real estate no one else wanted. If us not owning the Ricoh is damaging (and I don't think it is for reasons stated) then it was our choice not to go after it that did the damage.
If I choose not to buy an umbrella, it's not the guy who does buy it's fault I get wet.
