[QUOTE="stinginthetail, post: 1098281, member: 86069"] Well, there'll be different versions of this but I think a fair summary view would be that SISU (who own CCFC) tried to distress Coventry Council into selling on the cheap, as a result of which there was a complete and irrecoverable breakdown in relations between them both. Then, either because the Council was itself financially distressed, and not least because of personal positions in the Council towards SISU, the Council then sold the Arena on the cheap to Wasps instead. Hence [MEDIA=youtube]hlg2YO2KIyM[/MEDIA] Of course, going back further in time, the club (not then under SISU) had to sell the Arena to the Council as they fell into financial trouble shortly after completion, in part because of a drop off in income from having being relegated but also because the sums didn't match up in the first place, whilst certain Directors got money from selling the old ground. What goes around.... [/QUOTE]
