I believe pegging the rent to the team's success in terms of division and gate size was part of the offer. Compromise by all parties is fine, but the club haven't moved at all. The only side to have moved is ACL. If the club moved from their stance of '£200,000 or nothing' then the whole thing...

If you talk to the Pompey Supporters Trust, you'll find that their business plan depends a good deal on reducing the wage bill. Most of the problem with that is they're still paying players on Premiership wages who've gone!

Give half the Ricoh to a bunch of shysters who couldn't make even a half decent job of running a football club? You must be joking. It's SISU who would get the stadium, not the club, so we'd be in an even worse position than we are now.

it was the council who suggested the gasworks site when it became clear that Highfield Rd could never be enlarged. It was the council who put together the deal that built the Arena when Richardson's business plan collapsed. Oh, and the club put £3m in to decontaminate the land, no £20m. Where...

And they still can't afford that after Kilbane's retirement? I reckon the food/drink takings must be in the region of £100k, so even if Kilbane's was only earning £2,000 a week, that covers the gap between what they've been offered and what they've always said they wanted to pay. This has never...

The club get ALL the matchday income apart from that from the concourse kiosks. If you hear anything else, you'll know it's a lie.

Do we know whether the club approached ACL prior to not paying the rent to try and discuss a reduction in rent? - Yes, and rejected every offer Do we know whether ACL entertained the idea of lower rent before the club stopped paying? - See above Did the club stop paying as a way to force ACLs...

Liberty Way doesn't meet League 2 standards let alone League 1. Butts Park probably doesn't even meet Conference standards, so no Joy there (see what I did there?). St Andrews & the Crisp Bowl or whatever it's called these days, will cost Championship prices (presumably too much). The only other...

Really? You poor deluded fool. Having ruined one business, they would go on to try and ruin another by trying to realise its value. Whatever people think, there's. nothing to be made from half of ACL, since there's a shareholders agreement that no dividends are taken until the loans are paid...

I seem to remember they were going to BUY the stadium, not renegotiate the rent. What happened to that? They've left it until now, when they've lost millions, to try and get the Ricoh at a knock-down price. That's what this is all about, not getting a reasonable rent. They were offered a good...

Would you really trust SISU with even half the stadium?

So they asked for meetings and were turned down? Now we learn they were talking to ACL at the weekend. Not only that, but ACL made another offer (presumably less than the previous ones). I think Mr Fisher is being economical with the truth.

I don't think anyone's suggesting we don't support the team. I just want the lying scumbags who own the club out. They've been offered deals on the rent and turned them all down. This is all about SISU getting its filthy mitts on the Ricoh. And let's not forget that the council owns the place on...

Fact 1: the club had the income from car parking, but sold it on - a bit like they sold this season's income from season tickets to get the money early Fact 2: the club have had several offers of lower rent (including your suggestion of £500k, AND TURNED THEM ALL DOWN. I suggest you don't...

The Trust is a Provident Society. It can't spend its money on anything other than the purposes in its constitution. So no piss-ups, no parties, just contributions to local sporting causes.

If we're going to sign two or three, then Robins will have to sell. We already have a very big squad. Don't forget we signed ten in the close season, Robins added several loanees, with not many going out. The size of the wage bill would be a concern no matter who owns the club, so my guess is...

Accusations of threats of violence are pretty serious. I hope psgm1 can back that up, otherwise he (and Sky Blue Talk) lays himself open to libel action.

But they aren't getting the "norm" stadium for the first division, are they. You can't live on the Kenilworth Road and expect to pay a Wood End rent.
