Can't blame anybody but the management company of the Ricoh for it not fullfilling it's potential really.

ACL didn't offer Sisu/Otium £150,000 rent at all though. Don't deny mostly down to Sisu being in the situation, but ACL were offered a fair chunk of money, and did turn it down. Don't know what effect HMRC turning it down would have been, as was only a relatively small amount wasn't it?

To be fair, there aren't actually that many business type events on at weekends, most trade fairs are held during the week, nobody wants to use their own time for work!

But they turned it down, hence the lack of CVA and the 10 point deduction.

2013 - Do you know the way to Villa Park Tour?

Actually handled Jon Bon Jovi when he flew in by helicopter to Coventry Airport for that one. Nice bloke, real shortarse though!

Sisu I expect.

I'm fairly sure that he was supposed to pay the rent if the club defaulted on it? Does anybody know if this has been pursued? ACL are very litigious, and would have thought they'd have been claiming that off him.

This stuff about they could have more gigs without the Ricoh there that keeps getting spouted is still tripe. They are only going to be held in the summer, and only a certain amount of people each year touring that could fill the place, and with nothing getting in the way this year, only two...

Wait for the: "There wouldn't be a Herbert Art Gallery if it wasn't for them". "If they don't like it, we'll get the Tate Gallery in from London to replace them" "Joe Elliott saved them".

Think that is similar to how it was structured when Sisu took over. Didn't exactly work for Robinson that one, but I'll control my sorrow.

That's okay then, nothing dodgy about the British Virgin Islands, was worried for a bit then!

I'm banned from the casino by my missus. For coming home with nothing!

Really?

None of which are owned by a local council.

Yep, and Preston didn't have enough money for that. Though think the ground is owned seperately by some dodgy Cayman Islands company.

There was definitely a husband and sofa involved somewhere.

Just needs a nice pair of slacks to complete the transformation.

Wasn't it something about keeping her husband off the sofa or something?

He is however supported by Mr Coventry, who has never put a foot wrong over the years when it comes to supporting worthy owners. Haskell IN!
