    'Highfield Two'

    Incorrect! they had the opportunity to purchase the Higgs share in ACL - which owns a 50 year lease on the Arena, Not the freehold! :pimp:

    'Highfield Two'

    They have paid £6 million in rent over 5 years and have zero ownership of the Arena from that £6 million! They probably see £20 million in building a stadium better suited to our needs, as smarter use of the money going on the rent. :pimp:

    Arena Construction Completion Report

    On deeper examination it does look like the £21m went into the project and not into the Councils back pocket. But they still have it mortgaged and the club are effectively paying the mortgage. Re your question "Why couldnt we get the finance"? It looks like the bigest finacing came from the...

    Golden Share Could Be In Holdings After All

    a lot of contradiction here! I love it when the Tove says ACL doesn't make any profit because it was all reinvested back into the Ricoh! So that doesn't count then? Then the Tank argues what a valuable "Asset to the City of Coventry" the Ricoh is when the Tove has already admitted he's...

    have our council done enough

    Yes but! Now the council own it, its the council making more money out of it - including out of the footbal club! All the club needs to rent is the turf and the seats. :pimp:

    have our council done enough

    Going back to the op, I think the council have been very oportunistic in jumping into the Arena project and taking it out of the hands of the club who instigated the project. It is generally overlooked that the project grew into much more that just a football stadium. Stokes stadium only cost...

    FFP - 60% includes transfer fees?....

    I am not sure if this has been discussed before. But I think the FFP 60% includes transfer fees. Anybody know different? :pimp:

    Rip acl

    Do you think SISU want to play outside Coventry? Do you think they dreamed up this plan because our away form is so good? Do you think PH4 would prefer to carry on paying ACL £1.2m a year rent? NO! SISU are being forced to carry this through because the CCC and their created sub-company CCC...

    Les Reid Tweets re where 'goden share' is....

    Yes the transfer embargos are SISU's fault and pretty dumb! But that has nothing to do with the level of investment. Yes facetious, well spotted, but illustrative of the unreal expectations of many on here, who do you expect them to sign? Transfer fees are now out of fashion, particularly in...

    Les Reid Tweets re where 'goden share' is....

    Wasn't aimed at you personally wingy, just people on here generally. But paying the wages does count as investment! If SISU wern't paying the wages who would? ACL?, the council? Obviously they wouldn't but would it still not count as investment if they did? SISU should get some credit for...

    Les Reid Tweets re where 'goden share' is....

    I'm saying we had the biggest wage expenditure (on playing staff) in the league - and you expect them to sign more! It can't happen! Not with PH4, not even with Obramavich! :pimp:

    Probably due to all the winging on here! :pimp:

    Les Reid Tweets re where 'goden share' is....

    Where do you deduce that from? This year we were the best funded team in the division, equal with Doncaster. and FFP would not allow any more to be spent. :pimp:

    Rip acl

    They already used that to buy the lease off CCC? Now they need money to make the payments on it. The plan was CCFC were supposed to pay it for them! :pimp:
