    Here comes the crunch!

    The offer of rent-free! (while in admin) was always nothing more than a cheap PR stunt! A real offer would be for the freehold of the Ricoh or at least the stadium part of it and I believe SISU would be prepared to pay a fair price. :pimp:

    Here comes the crunch!

    Its about as finely balanced as Humpty Dumpty! From which particular fairy tale did you get "If ACL don't agree to the CVA then the Northampton deal is null and void"? The FL agreed to the Northampton move to make sure the fixtures were fulfilled, it will go ahead regardless of the acceptance...

    Here comes the crunch!

    We are talking here about a court procedure pretty much like bailiffs taking goods to sell to settle an outstanding debt. If ACL reject the £590k from Otium its like telling the court they don't want the money the bailiffs have collected. There is no negotiation with other bidders it was sold to...

    Here comes the crunch!

    ACL will loose out by not getting the offer on the table from Otium to the value of £590k! Whatever other assets they may have or hold are not effected! :pimp:

    Here comes the crunch!

    Its hardly SISU's plan! its the Councils plan! The council devised the complex company structure around the Ricoh putting ACL in control. in that plan ACL only exist by taking a cut from the clubs revenues (and from all the other business in the Ricoh that the club (or its owners) would like...

    Here comes the crunch!

    As I understand it, Otium only buy Ltd if the CVA is accepted (and the proceeds of the sale are distributed to the creditors). If the CVA is not accepted, Ltd is liquidated i.e. ceases to exist (in this event there is no sale and no proceeds to distribute). nb this does not mean "the club" is...

    Here comes the crunch!

    Nicki Sinclaire review ACL can not afford to refuse the CVA. They either accept the CVA and get £590k or they refuse and get nothing. They(ACL) were in so much financial trouble at the end of last year that Yorkshire bank (nearly) foreclosed their mortgage. In their last accounts for 11-12...

    Regardless of 'ownership'!

    The Ricoh is more than just a football stadium, it has extra accommodation for Hotel, conferences, exhibitions and casino. Although it is arguable that the football club generates much of the footfall that drives these ancillary business functions the prime requirement is for the football club...

    Regardless of 'ownership'!

    Regardless of 'ownership'!

    I reckon there are just a small number in the NOPM club, loud enough to dominate on here where moderates won't say anything but not enough to really matter. Numbers will be down at Northampton anyway because its further away and a 2nd year in d3. Other clubs have worked their way out of this...

    Forget SISU And Concentrate On What We Love

    Who do you think its going to hurt first and most? SISU with multi-million world wide resources or CCFC with a FFP limited playing budget of £2.2m? :pimp:

    Forget SISU And Concentrate On What We Love

    I really agree with this. NOPM will hurt CCFC more than it will hurt SISU. I could be fine if it was the other way round and it hurt SISU more than CCFC but it can never do that! from coventrycity-mad.co.uk click link "One Man's View I've been a Coventry City fan for 20 years. I live in...

    Scenario for fans...

    I wonder if......... if a last minute deal is done to switch back to the Ricoh will the ST prices be the same? maybe not, but maybe those having paid the Sixfields price might not be asked for more? Today might be a very good day to invest! :pimp:

    Telegraph says we have bought the Brandon speedway site.

    Although I agree that this might be highly tactical, the article does say "The site has been sold to the Sky Blues subject to contract." Which suggests more than just bluster! I believe CCFC will seriously look at any last minute deal for the Ricoh that is offered but they want to "OWN" their...

    Telegraph says we have bought the Brandon speedway site.

    One thing that is interesting is that it says " Coventry City FC have secured a provisional deal " ie not SISU, not Otium! :pimp:

    Telegraph says we have bought the Brandon speedway site.

    A Deal Is Simple Really

    interesting proposal OB, that is a big change down from the 400k where it was left. on the face of it, we couldn't expect the council/acl side to go that low. Could we? :pimp:

    Statement finally released

    "throwing out " the CVA and accepting nothing could not possibly be argued to benefit their shareholderes in any shape or form. Proposing another deal could hold some improvement. :pimp:
