    Can anyone say something positive about Arvo/SISU?

    well they did reject it and it is still here............ there was never any danger of CCFC ceasing, the football league would not have allowed it because it would have messed with their fixtures. SISU would not have allowed it because it is a means to an end. The CVA was on CCFC Ltd and as we...

    The Academy

    so is the logic of that then that CCFC have nowhere suitable for a Category 2 academy and that status is at risk Also if they have to leave Warwick Uni in 2 weeks what are the alternative arrangements

    No more bias than your postings. There was a reason for the "bias" as you put it Godiva although none was really intended so call it an angle....... if ACL were to be succesful do they need CCFC back. That is a worrry right now with no tangible plan on show for a new ground because as it stands...

    If acl act on behalf of joint owners CCc/Alan Higgs

    what happens if ACL believe they can succeed without the club? What happens if there are no more moves against administrator/league etc and they decide ok lets do this but without CCFC? What happens if that works? What happens if it doesnt? what happens if TF is to be believed the club has...

    Have no problem with them looking after their own business. The weakest part however is the football club because it will make losses unless very succesful. At what point does that detract from the stadium or add to it? Once you have the stadium there are still the same choices - keep the club...

    Sorry SBP ...... wish I could be more positive I do not see CCFC back in Coventry any time soon to be honest. Whilst SISU believe they can get their hands on the Ricoh I cant see them selling up either. There needs to be a game changer of some sort

    125 year lease or freehold pretty much same value granted have never argued otherwise The point I am making though is they are not doing this for the football club .... the football club only needs the income streams, it could buy for axample the 77% shares held in IEC. Most people seem to wrap...

    Never been in the camp that thought one side or the other was blameless. All sides carry some responsibility. I think the heart of it is that SISU want the freehold and ACL/Council will only offer a tenancy to the club under the SISU ownership. Not sure it started that way , i think there were...

    The Academy

    As I understand it The Alan Higgs Centre is owned by the Alan Higgs Centre Trust and operated by the Coventry Sports Foundation. Both registered charities CCFC Academy had a lease arrangement with the Alan Higgs Centre Trust that it failed to pay for. That debt became part of the administration...

    no maybe about it - the discussions with the charity were outside of the option held by CCFC Ltd. What you suggest would be contradicted by the rent strike and its purpose Rent strike started April 2012. The discussions that TF refers to in February are the discussions over the offer made...

    Just to correct something Godiva the discussions last June between Charity and SISU were not on the basis of the option CCFC Ltd had. The option could not be activated whilst the football club owed any money to ACL. So the formula you refer to did not come in to it. Also I think the...

    There are 3,516,112 £1 shares issued fp split equally between the Council and the Charity (in holding companies owned by each party to be exact) In terms of valueing then there are many ways of doing that and because of the complex nature of the site I would expect there is no one set method...

    No they didnt ......... they offered the Higgs Charity less than 6m for their shares and part of the deal to get the Council to agree to that purchase offered a plan to distress the yorkshire bank loan to a settlement of less than £5m ( value is TF's assessment of what deal could have been done...

    The Academy

    The academy may have received category 2 status but it was based on facilities that they no longer have access to. My understanding is that the FL will work with the club to see if those gaps in category 2 status can be rectified. That would I assume mean a detailed plan as to how and when, I...
