I get that the above sentiment is probably the thought of most and I won't argue that it isn't, however we have to also admit that with FFP Rules now every Club has to be bringing 100% revenue possible, Coventry City has never been close to achieving this at the Ricoh Arena despite who ever's fault it may be.
Problem is with that while we aren't bringing in the revenue, it also means we are not bringing in good enough players to compete, which means we are falling like a ton of bricks through the Football League.
I am all for changing the way football is run, but to an extent with our situation this is based on three parties not adult enough to discuss a deal suitable for everyone, forgetting trust issues, personal opinons, public attacks in the press and blind ignorance, Coventry City FC is being run into the Ground and has been for numerous years.
Alas while no sensible discussion or morale stances are obtained, the fans continue to suffer, the Club continues to struggle, the Club's employee's continue to struggle and the City itself continues to struggle, Coventry City needs to come home to the Ricoh, what is most important is that someone sensible brings all these parties to a table and handcuff them to it until a deal is agreed, whether it's CCFC obtaining ACL, or a rental deal with Matchday revenues or whether CCFC purchase the whole thing, it needs to be done.
Every person connected with the heirachy of Sisu, Coventry City FC, Arena Coventry Limited and Coventry City Council over the years, hang your heads in shame, you have let every fan down of this Football Club.
To be honest Rob we have not got a clue what is going on.
Have Sisu made a fair offer ? Answer .. We don't know.
Are Sisu willing to buy the contract from Compass who have invested a lot in the infrastructure ? Answer .. We don't know.
Why is this information not available from Sisu ? Answer .. I can only assume they haven't.
Are CCC willing to sell the Arena ? Answer .. No
Are they willing to give CCFC owners a long lease which effectively would allow them to have the same rights as owning the stadium ? Answer ... Yes
For me there is only one party dictating this ??
