Yeah sorry, I was referring to a scenario where CCFC withers away or is liquidated. Obviously, if the two clubs co-existed then I take your point completely.

It's not a discretionary thing is it? Surely the issue is about trademarks - and Coventry City Football Club is trademarked - but as far as I know 'Coventry City' isn't. As long as you do not contravene trademarks you can call yourselves what you want I would have thought - and the name of the...

Surely you'd just call a new club AFC Coventry City? Why would you lose the 'City' when there is no need to? Edit: I'm talking about a proper phoenix club rather than a new name for CU.

I'm not sure I understand what the point is. As I see it there are two likely scenarios: 1. CCFC start the season at the Ricoh after all, or if not make a very swift return to it, and things more or less return to how they were. 2. CCFC relocate to Northampton and a new Phoenix club is formed...

I think there might be a certain novelty factor that might entice a few locals at the very beginning, but I can't see it extending much beyond the first couple of games to be honest.

I wasn't aware that had been a transfer of ownership to that extent, and so my statement on the Compass front was more speculative than anything and was based on the amount of money Compass have invested (which is substantial). 23% of a lot is still a lot, but I take your point. As far as...

I posted months ago that Ricoh discussed the possibility of CCFC leaving (when the idea was first mooted last season), and their conclusion at that point was simply that they would 'reevaluate their position'. Any publicity/exposure they are getting at the moment will soon die away if the club...

I don't think it will make any real difference, but it is symbolic, and I think the time is right for a show of strength and unity. I've been a little indifferent to some of the previous protests, but this I think will catch on and I expect a lot will attend, and it is important they do. I...

Why do people have to add a disclaimer every time they post a link to a DM article? The world's most popular news website and people feel the need the justify linking to it. Not sure I get that tbh.

They reneged on the revised rent deal - I think that is an indisputable fact; but it was ACL who reneged on, what we are told, was an agreement for SISU to effectively buy them out and payoff the outstanding mortgage with the bank. It was at this point that the council waded in with their bail...

The pitch will be fine. It wasn't that long ago that all clubs had reserve sides playing regular fixtures on their pitch , and there are still teams that share with Rugby Union clubs. I doubt it'll win any awards, but it's the least of our worries tbh.

I'm curious as to why people always neglect to mention that it was ACL/council who pulled out of the deal (for which heads of terms had been agreed) in which SISU offered to buy into the Arena and to pay off ACLs outstanding mortgage (this has never really been disputed) - I'm not saying this...

Planning permission is perfectly possible given a sensible location and enough time. Coventry CC, Warwickshire CC, Rugby District Council (whoever) can reject the proposals as emphatically as they like, it is irrelevant, because unless they have a good reason to do so, it will be turned over at...

It was 5-2.

Quite possibly.

I agree with much of what said in that article (in terms of the importance of profiting from a facility you own 365 days a year - instead of paying an extortionate amount to NOT profit from a facility 25 days a year), but surely the easiest way to make that a reality is for the club and stadium...

It isn't the end, it might be, but it needn't be. The key difference is that we will have a stadium sitting there empty waiting to be used, so you hope that even if we start the season in Northampton, common sense will win through pretty quickly and we'll make a swift return. Plough Lane was...

That post doesn't explain anything. NTFC don't need any 'rights' to decide where the club play - because that's not what they are doing. They are simply renting their facilities to another company following a direct approach. What has the 'right to play' got to do with anything? ACL...

I am the director of my own company. I'm not sure what your point is. Keep posting the wiki links if you wish - none of this explains how why think suing NTFC is justified. What is the legal basis for this, and is there precedent? There is a company that owe my company a lot of money. They...

You can post it as many times as you like, it is still irrelevant and doesn't explain why they are threatening to sue Northampton Town.
