    CET: Sky Blues take Coventry City Council to high court over bailout

    Okay lets say that the reason that the first garage roof business was going bust (and I'm not suggesting ACL was) because the second garage roof business hadn't been paying their rent on the premises that the first owned and leased to them. Isn't that a bit more like what's happening here?

    CET: Sky Blues take Coventry City Council to high court over bailout

    We're they making more of a loss because CCFC weren't paying their agreed rent?

    Maybe a teacher, which could explain the late start?

    CET: Sky Blues take Coventry City Council to high court over bailout

    The council are doubtless making more from loaning ACL the money than they would have got from having it sitting in the bank.

    Stupid by all accounts in my opinion.

    CET: Sky Blues take Coventry City Council to high court over bailout

    Someone posted on here saying that Sir Higgs had put a clause in the sale of HR so that had the Ricoh not been built we could have bought the stadium back for the same as we got for it. He didn't want us to be homeless I guess, so we might have been a bit more in debt having bought HR back but...

    Tim Fisher Rumour

    Thanks it will be on my next birthday list. He should have been in jail for the shares thing before he got the chance to publish the photos in my opinion.

    As much as I wouldn't trust anything the man says ever, I don't think there's any need for physical violence. Piers Morgan is a different story.:slap:

    Hypothetical Question just a bit if fun

    Good points and post, I'm sadly not surprised that you think the board are at fault though as I find myself having to agree with you.

    Hypothetical Question just a bit if fun

    What I don't understand is: Why if SISU are such a talented bunch of business people, did they not attempt to renegotiate the rent when they took over? Why if SISU are such a talented bunch of business people, did they not attempt to renegotiate the rent when they presided over the...

    Leyton Orient council want to help out by giving them £1M ............

    I was thinking more of things like the Davis cup and concerts/exhibitions, rather than anything football related/reliant. Yes there would be a dent in the matchday F&B revenues but I thought they only amounted to £100k or so per year.

    Leyton Orient council want to help out by giving them £1M ............

    Unless there has been a turn up in revenues for ACL, we know they're certainly paying less in mortgage/loan payments now.

    It has to meet certain standards to qualify for the £500,000 grant that no one knows the location of at the moment. I think that's why the centre was built to meet those standards.

    I also remember going round the exhibition they had before the AH Centre opened and it had a really funky fake grass solution. This had tiny little rubber balls in the "grass" and you could do sliding tackles without getting grass burns. This I think needed a machine to clean and redistribute...

    Leyton Orient council want to help out by giving them £1M ............

    He's a nice guy but loves Chelsea with a passion that I can only hope is bettered by the love he has for his other half ;) who is a very nice lady. He just assumed the rent wasn't being paid because we were bankrupt and that had caused the Admin. Couldn't understand how the hell we were still...
