Where is the money going to come from for us? The Doncaster chairman is 64th in the football rich list, or didn't you know that. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/competitions/premier-league/4143133/Roman-Abramovich-loses-rich-list-top-spot-to-Manchester-City-owner.html I'm assuming that...

You may have something against him (I don't know) but the fact he is an ACL director and will know what revenue ACL actually makes qualifies him in my eyes. So what's your solution to make our club sustainable, I'd love to know?

PWKH tells us here general thoughts about the stadium/arena (My Bolding).

So what is the club meant to survive on? The current revenues from the Ricoh aren't enough, we've had that from an impeccable source in PWKH. Few clubs in this division make enough money to survive on through F&B, shirt and ticket sales alone where is the money to make up this shortfall each...

Someone please correct me if I'm wrong but doesn't the option to buy the Charity share in ACL rest with CCFC ltd and CCFC Holdings has nothing to do with this anymore? I wish we knew what rests with each subsidiary and where the Golden share really is.

No you're missing the point here, it isn't that you're expecting someone to develop the surrounding land to sell it on for a profit it's to make other revenue streams available to the club. So for example the Arena could just have had the football stadium, no Hotel, no Jaguar Exhibition Hall and...

PaxmanII explained it better than I can SISU removed themselves from contention here thanks to their stellar negotiating techniques.

I think SISU are the sticking point here, thanks to their stellar negotiating techniques they have employed ACL are not keen on them. I wouldn't be surprised if any prospective new owner was made an offer like we're discussing here. We need to see who the administrator plans to sell CCFC Ltd to.

The only people to mention £40m has been the CET, neither ACL or the council have said that. The rent on the lease was at last offer down to £485k/year for the club plus the F&B revenues with the arrears spread over ten years so just over 10k a month. The worry is that a new owner of the club...

. I think that the club should own a long lease on the Arena but to prevent the new owners from selling the ground the freehold should stay with the council. That way the new club owners can't do something sneaky like have two similar sounding companies and switch the freehold from one to...

Would the administrator want to move the club out of the Ricoh?

I would imagine that having a representative of the SBT or at the very least someone independent on the board is something a new owner would consider. I read up on Sir Higgs last night and he seemed to be an alright guy despite being on the board through the BR years. His report which I'll admit...

Okay what I would like to be seeing is something vaguely like that, the freehold stays with the council and the club hold the lease which would be a long lease, 99 years or more. The club gets all the revenue from the various activities of the Arena to help fund the football club and pay for...

Came across as more passionate about the club than Stuart. However I do enjoy listening to Sky Blue Magic the story of how Coventry City won a major trophy for the very first time which he (Stuart) presented.

+1 to that!

So he sits in the studio doing the show just doesn't broadcast to anyone and we all win. :)

If there is someone who comes forward and offers to purchase CCFC Ltd (other than SISU) and their bid is accepted, they could field a team called Coventry in the league next season. They might have to locate a squad but assuming that's possible and ACL still let them play at the Ricoh apart from...

Yeah just say you agree with SISU and their stance with ACL/Admin then 'change your mind' whilst waiting.

That's called the graveyard shift you know, ;)
