    Playing Devil's Advocate

    not sure how over a barrel ACL are to be honest VoR. SISU top up the escrow account then if they default on the rent .... ACL draw against the escrow account...... so ACl at least have a big chunk of the money. Where there is a problem is what happens if CCFC do not top up as instructed by the...

    Coventry avoid squad crisis....

    wouldnt have thought ccfc/sisu would be too happy with baker saying all that either

    sky blues in court today

    was somewhat surprised that the club wasn't represented in court. Seems a bit dismissive to me. It also points to their being nothing going on behind the scenes from CCFC in terms of the rent other than "we are not paying it". I wouldn't be hopeful of a deal being done by Friday or that the...

    sky blues in court today

    http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-coventry-warwickshire-19241982 so TF reckons that it will be sorted out by end of this week ? and ACL lawyers do not think the money will be paid ,........ obviously there are good constructive talks going on because the two sides are so close together...

    sky blues in court today

    Kind of depends on what the judgement says really The case may well have been in two parts. Firstly to establish the debt of £607k - the importance of that is not just the amount outstanding but that the rent is a valid debt as set out in the contract............. and it seems it went...

    Coventry avoid squad crisis....

    What SISU are trying to do is to fix wage costs. The removal of any bonuses means they will know how much will be paid out each week. From a purely financial sense it makes good business. Never really understood why players get a bonus for simply turning up to do their job, would have to say...

    sky blues in court today

    without seeing the judgement i cant be sure SBD but the sum owed is £607k which is much more than the escrow account. It could be that the "pay when you can" relates to the £107k left and ongoing rental payments, but that the escrow needs to be £500k at all times. No judge would order the...

    sky blues in court today

    To bring the case SBD they have to issue a writ based on the debt which is £607K the court would require specific amounts and proof. Yes part of that has been paid but from the Escrow account. The escrow account is not there for CCFC to use, and can only be used by ACL if CCFC defaults on the...

    sky blues in court today

    Actually the choice was a lump sum 21m or an annual rent for use of the freehold i believe. Hard to argue that over 50 years of the lease that the citizens of Coventry have been overly rewarded.

    sky blues in court today

    there was a sports lawyer on cwr this morning (8:10 ish) that basically said if they dont have the funds but intend to pay then might be an adjournment...... however if CCFC are simply saying wont pay then in his words "CCFC have a serious problem". he also confirmed that in his opinion this...

    A guess at the budget figures this season

    Not sure there is sutty. Am assuming that the figures you are estimating (i dont necessarily disagree with them either) are the gross wages for each player. That means there is 12% National Insurance employers contribution to add on together with the amounts paid to agents. All that is included...

    Your best and worst away games?

    best Blackburn away in cup because it was my lads first away game - was great to see him enjoy it so much. Followed by Man City in 1967/68 my first away game worst - any time I went to Filbert Street

    How long before the fans turn this season...

    Last season is done and dusted and as such AT starts with a clean slate in much the same way as the players do. It will take time for the team to be moulded into an effective unit ...... but even so it is not unreasonable to expect us to have a better win ratio than last year......... by Xmas...

    Cyrille or Dion?

    On purely football reasons based on performance at CCFC I would have to go for Dublin, one of the best forwards we have had especially in the air and almost as good in defence from the heart though it would be Regis ...... not many better sights in football than of the tank that he was bearing...
