Okay perhaps control is overstating it but I think you know what I mean, they have more than a passing interest. Perhaps next time you see Cllr Mutton you can advise him that his ill judged comments and opinions do nothing to help in this situation.

Correct me if I'm wrong but I thought rent was £900k at HR and we got all pie money so it wasn't the same deal at all.

Yes but the deal with ACL was signed before SISU arrived. After SISU turned up to "save us" Cllr Mutton was in the CET stating their 50% was minimum £40m and SISU would have to develop the area. These are not the actions of someone wanting to propel he club back to the Premier but those of...

Peter, I thank you for the statement but ultimately someone within your organisation originally thought the rent deal, F & B etc was a fair deal for CCFC. You effectively took advantage while we were in a bad place financially and I realise the club signed the deal but we were being run by...

I'm personally not bothered about refunds but there is no way I will ever watch the City play a home game outside of Coventry. If it happens and it's a very big if, I would urge everyone to follow suit and stay away.

So are you saying ACL would be happy to make a loss?

Don't talk crap. SISU mention liquidation so ACL go to put is admin, then SISU do it first and on and on we go. I don't give a shit that the guy come on on here and tells us his side. ultimately they are both killing my club and they share the blame. You can argue all day that one side...

It wouldnt matter if this was totally different to the Southampton situation. The league won't allow any club to bend the rules and get away with it. 10 pts is the minimum we are going to lose and I expect this saga to result in more pts being deducted than just the 10.

There is nothing confusing about it. While the pair of you are playing who's got the biggest cock, our club is going down the tubes.

I agree it's a sore subject for us all but if the idea/ plan was so bad why are the council all over like a rash and don't want to let it go? Why do expect a rich tycoon to come in a buy CCFC? Its for the Arena, a multi purpose venue that Richardson thought would give us extra revenue.

Yes I agree relegation did fuck it up but also remember that after flogging quite a bit of talent our debt was back in the mid £25m area. Hindsight is a wonderful thing and there are plenty of ifs and buts about it but I do believe the idea was good but circumstances went against it. I also...

Yes but is your opinion clouded by what has happened rather than the facts? By my calculation even with the sale of Highfield Road and the £900 k rent we then had to pay there should have been plenty left over from the £60m to pay that for few years and still get the project built with the...

In the light of the Arena Construction Report thread I thought I would throw this out there as he has become in many eyes the Devils own spawn. Based purely on facts, Richardson purchased the land and sold it to Tesco for circa £60m. The vast majority of modern stadia of a similar size...

Why what was wrong with him?

But that's not the point. This is highlighting what our friendly, ever helpful council have actually spent to get control. The amount of people who do nothing but thank them for this selfless act is frankly ridiculous.

You're right he forgot about the money from Tesco we got for the sale of the land which was land originally purchased by the club.

If he didn't want Leeds then, then why would he want them now? I think it's best free advertising a company can get. Say you want to buy a club get in the national press and then don't bother.

Wahaayy... Thats 1 - 0 to Council Town as a life long member of the Council Trust steps forward.

The only problem I can see is you've now opened the door for OSB to give a 400 line reply. The thought brings me out in a shudder as may need time off work to read it.

Thank you for that a great find. It highlights what most people of sound mind have known all along.
