    The revenue stream is with ACL not CCFC so how does this help?

    Thanks Cloughie I can see where you come from with this - obviously a lot depends on what the remainder of the lease is really worth - I would argue it is a fair bit less than the £80Million (wasn't it sold originally for £50Million ?) but certainly it is worth in excess of £20Million so on the...

    HI Cloughie, not sure I understand how 50% of ACL is worth £40Million?

    We're not doomed but this is not a massive investment for the benefit of the club. The project needs one owner with deep enough pockets to develop the whole shabag - team , stadium, surrounding area etc

    I don't think SISU will lose money on this - £10Million for a £500k return is OK if that's what it generates for them - could be more could be less - a lot depends on the club obviously There is potential down the line for a higher return if the club does really well and maybe the £10Million...

    The only benefit I can genuinely see is that they are now far less likely to fold it and walk away - for me that is all

    Sisu

    All very well and good but doesn't help the club The only good thing I can see from this is that they are now unlikely to fold the club in the short term

    Seriously I can't see why anyone would get excited about this from a CCFC perspective ACL will make say £1Million a year profit this year ACL will make a lot less if the rent goes down - maybe a loss Even if they make £1M profit a year - every year - and even if CCFC own all the 50% shares of...

    Just a few points on this SISU is buying the 50% share of ACL - this is a company that holds the lease for the stadium So SISU aren't actually going to own half the stadium just half the lease on it ACL is a stand-alone company - CCFC pay ACL to use the stadium that is all How does owning...

    CET: Men at the top must take responsibility for Coventry City's failure

    Forget what went on before Fisher - I'm focusing on how Waggot has operated since Fisher came in and brought him here - no Waggot is not responsible for filing the accounts I agree - BUT did he really impress upon his boss, Fisher, the absolute need to do this so as to get the embargo lifted -...

    He didn't recognise the need for bringing in players last year - cost us our championship status He should have got rid of Thorn at the end of last season not allow him to sign a lot of new players He didn't work hard enough to get embargo lifted to bring in a couple of key targets He...

    CET: Men at the top must take responsibility for Coventry City's failure

    Waggot clearly does not have the Midas touch and I fail to see what he has brought to and is now bringing to the club other than a fistfull of cock-ups - Fisher if you need some football brains to do your job then please get someone else in for al lour sakes

    ACL must not give in

    Er... hang on a minute - if SISU own the club and the stadium they can do whatever they like with the ownership of the stadium surely - what's to stop them having their own ACL company which owns the stadium and charging rent to the club at whatever level it feels like?

    I have a problem with these 'professional football executives' - they don't have their own money as such so instead have set themselves up as football club management gurus who mysteriously profess to have some sort of magic gift that makes them able to make millions from any club they happen to...

    Is being Coventry City manager the hardest challenge in football ?

    Won't be a 3 year contract I'd be really surprised if it's more than a year
