Thanks OSB. Timelines are useful, but they do exclude some of the valuable context of the era.

The Football League fixture list is released June 18, so decisions on whether City are in or out of the league (for whatever reason) will have to be made before the results of the judicial review are known.

I think we are in agreement, neither confirmed nor denied - but I'm a little surprised he wouldn't take the opportunity to deny it if it wasn't so... Re: March 2012 - It gets lost in the fog of all that has gone since, but I seem to recall that back about then we already knew things weren't...

I wonder if he also told the court the club sold the rights to a share of the revenue?

I think Sisu's barrister engaged with the argument (at around p106 of the transcript from Day 1 of that case IIRC), but as you say that's not producing a document.

From Simon Gilbert's Twitter feed, day 1: "Court hears CBRE valuation of ACL was £19.5m with £1.2m rent per annum and £6.4m with no rent."

IIRC, Sisu's agents said it was worth £6.4m without CCFC there... If a company was going bust, would it be worth £6.4m?

If a company is going bust, is it worth £0 or is it worth (in the worst case scenario) £6.4m?

They didn't have one in the original contract either NW and they broke that. (Just saying, not condoning contract-breaking).

Does it matter if it goes back up after 3 years? That's all the time Mr Fisher said he needed for his vision to build a new stadia. Back to the Ricoh for three years at £400,000 then... Bam! Just as the rent goes back up, off to the new home to reap a bountiful harvest of pie income.

I wasn't in court yesterday and I haven't seen a transcript, so I'm not certain on the context and I'll have to go on what is written here, but didn't Sisu's barrister in Higgs v Sisu tacitly accept Sisu had approached Yorkshire Bank directly before August 2012?

From Mr Gilbert on Twitter: "We're not expecting a judgement today as the judge will pour over the evidence tomorrow before delivering his decision."

I don't think the JR is the hurdle, I think Sisu are the roadblock to a realistic deal* and that the JR is only a hurdle Sisu put in the way (in my opinion). *I don't think "unencumbered freehold" is a realistic deal - at least not at the price I suspect Sisu would be prepared to pay.

Judgement Day eh? Hopefully, CCFC will soon be saying "We'll be back"... ...in Coventry (not in court).

Well, it seems she was right when she said she didn't know anything about football. Nobody in football in the media spotlight would follow Steve McClaren's trend setting look would they?

Lawyers. (10)

Why would football's duck-loving community be interested in Coventry City? :laugh:

Given the JR thread clocked up about 550 posts in the last 24 hours, on top of the 250 it already had, it could well become the longest thread. At least it isn't about Portsmouth...

Is that something you know or is it something you are speculating about?
