The fact that the rent was too high is down to the old board for agreeing to it and ACL for setting it that high. Moving us out of the Ricoh and the Higgs Centre is down to SISU/CCFC and no one else, that has been where the main focus of peoples anger is - we're not playing in Coventry. It...

No no he said "PR Tool" & something made me smile reading that.

Gonna be glued to the League show this evening.

Takes Moussa up to 5 and into I think the top 10 of the league along with Clarke who is also on 5. Brilliant stuff.

Not confused, just don't think a lower rent earlier on would have affected the council or the Higgs as no dividend has been paid. Happy to hear any explanations though.

Wilson becomes L1 top scorer I think. :claping hands:

Sorry I'm a bit lost, I thought that ACL hadn't paid any divided to CCC or the Higgs so how would a lower rent earlier on have deprived these two institutions of millions?

The only as far as I know/can remember public info about the previous discussions about the rent are in the Trust Q&A http://www.skybluetrust.co.uk/index.php/component/content/article/227-full-version-of-qaa-to-acl-and-ccfc?showall=1 I'm not sure having read the answers that SISU/CCFC did...

Well if spending money hand over fist to fund the team and rent at Sixfields whilst getting minimal revenue from our lowest gates in my lifetime and the lowest gate ever is a victory then a victory over who? ACL because SISU are engaged in NOPM and ACL are receiving no money from matchdays...

Then he should shut up, rash statements are at best of no use to anyone if they contain empty promises and at worst dangerous if taken seriously. To quote something out of context from a film, "wars have started that way Mr Ambassador".

Tim said that we've moved on and insists that we will build a new stadium to play in. I have to hope that he wasn't bluffing about that because a previous statement "there would not be reasonable probability of avoiding insolvency liquidation" turned out in such a positive way for us.

I agree, but then sensationalism sells papers more than just publishing raw data.

It would be a touch hypocritical if SISU attempted to charge our club a high rent when they were complaining about ACL doing exactly that. It would be worse if they did that whilst owning the club. I have no evidence that SISU have any plans to do this or indeed not do this.

Yeah sadly I doubt the results of a poll would end the current SISU campaign of NOPM against ACL.

I agree not really a very scientific study and a wider more varied group of Coventrians would need to be asked. That reminds me, there was that sketch show many years ago where they were spoofing the general election coverage and they took the first exit poll to show that based on these results...

Yes - done.

NOPM to ACL would be my guess, but it is only a guess.

I'm PWKH! (or so I'm told on here anyway)

Thanks for your support and info on the town much appreciated.

That works both ways: SISU - Get on phone to ACL offer to rent the stadium in the next 10 years and talk about ownership. ACL - Agree a deal with SISU that works. The only problem is if SISU are still doing NOPM against ACL, which will bugger any chance of a rent deal.
