It's fine, you seem like a decent enough chap so I shan't hold it against you. ;)

Then demand for ACL's product slowly declines. They will have to reduce rent in line with footfall reduction. They will start sustaining losses, and will have to sell their asset (the stadium) to recoup those losses. Then SISU sweep in and buy the stadium at a reduced rate. The only...

Yep that's it. I must confess, it's been an enlightening affair engaging with you fans. On the strength of my findings I might become a turncoat and start supporting ACL against my employers. Get real kiddo! And change the frickin record already!

I wouldn't necessarily choose the word clever, over experienced. The nature of SISU's business, and wealth of experience of board members and associates means that they will more than likely always be a step or five ahead of ACL/CCC

SISU will have evaluated this very carefully. There is no hope for ACL without that football club. They would be simply working towards breakeven each year, and that's unattractive and counter-productive.

Absolutely yes. I keep saying; this is a POSITIVE step for CCFC This is the eve of stadium and club finally being united. And, if SISU then run the business the wrong way and end up in this situation again, it's a much more attractive prospect for an investor because we have the complete...

Because that's their best chance of a decent return. No other sports team in the city with the kind of following required.

I think your predictions are spot on. I'll go one step further also, and say I suspect the council will be the loser in that fight.

Because the only way the business venture is viable is if the stadium and the club work in harmony. And SISU have control over the club. Who would want to buy a stadium that has no tenants. It's not like a house rental where you can just find another tenant.

Because it is a necessary step in the right direction for CCFC. To suggest they will not come back is ridiculous. You've defeated yourself with that. I still believe there will be a cancellation clause, and that this is all a duel between SISU/ACL I sincerely hope ACL are considering how...

And where the thrust of your stance falls over sir, is that you can't negotiate with yourself. Both parties have to sit at the table and be fair and reasonable, and BOTH parties have suggested they have been so and that the other party hasn't. But for some reason people seem intent on...

That's as poor a conspiracy theory as me being TF. Although it's conceivable, its highly improbable, and total speculation on your part!

So ultimately you have no proof. You are just taking ACL's word. Just like I am taking SISU's word but backing it up with this logic; Where would the sense be in moving home if they really were offered such an attractive deal?

All I said is they invited offers from the so called interested parties. It was never stated or even alluded to that the club was officially put on the market. Because it hasn't ever been, apart from in recent weeks by the administrator. Why do you move the goalposts when you are...

The point's been missed. SISU never rejected any credible offers - they invited them. Unfortunately the 'offers' fired were informal/impertinent and consequently progress was not made. Also it was intimated to that the stadium rent is not viable at this level. Now you're going to use an...

SRC: http://www.coventryobserver.co.uk/2012/05/09/news-Talks-of-Chinese-takeover-are-dismissed-by-Sky-Blues-chief-38543.html Bear in mind that this was never refuted...So I think TF was probably being straight. SKY Blues chief executive Tim Fisher has quashed rumours Chinese investors were...

When Hoffman/Elliot alluded to them having 'investors' lined up, even Keys was involved in the anti-climatic speculation. SISU, knowing this was another attempt to undermine them actually went on the record to say 'we will listen to any offers'. Nothing transpired. I will find it later.

Exactly; What you've read. Printed by the CET who have pledged their allegiance to this 'we will not follow you out of Coventry' move. Therefore they can't be relied on to remain impartial and print a story that paints everything in a fair and open way. That's simple; In for a penny, in for...

Funny because the truth is, that's 100% speculation; Neither side can table offers until ACL accept debt recovery proposal by the administrator. As far as I can see, they are showing a strong reluctance to do that. Yet somehow people can't escape this impression that SISU are the people to...
