    City To Announce their First New Signing - Mathieu Manset

    it will be Manset I would expect. Just hope a centre half or two follow him in quickly! That Scottish centre half trialist we had in pre-season looked ok, Craig something was it?

    Ricoh Arena 'very profitable' even without Sky Blues

    Thats another very valid point. The hotel as well, im guessing it will see a downturn in footfall.

    it wouldn't be without precedent though, Pompey flouted the League rules for much of the last 2 seasons and got away with it

    Ricoh Arena 'very profitable' even without Sky Blues

    SISU were paying the matchday costs, not ACL so thats not relevant. I think the crux of the problem is that the revenues from football paid the basic costs of the stadium so that the profits from concerts and other events went straight in the coffers. Now they are going to have to stage far more...

    SISU/Otium to sell to Byng & the Chinese ???

    Well really, they dont even have to be merged, as long as the two entities are owned by the same people it doesnt really matter, you just make both club and stadium subsidiaries of whatever vehicle you have used to make the purchases.

    In all liklihood yes. Unless SISU have some gigantic sponsorship deal they have been keeping quiet about..................... Have we had a sponsor on our shirts for the games played so far or have the shirts been blank?

    Ricoh Arena 'very profitable' even without Sky Blues

    Personally I feel the only realistic way forward for club and stadium is for both to be taken over by new owners, preferably by the same owners! It would stick in the throat if ACL was sold on the cheap to SISU but if it meant that SISU then sold both club and stadium on to someone else and we...

    Ricoh Arena 'very profitable' even without Sky Blues

    Again, i'd really like to believe that was the reason but i'm more than averagly certain that it was really money that drove the decision. if they are adamant they wont sell to SISU then there was little advantage in offering them a new rent deal unless they were desperate for the income. I do...

    I think it means that they may lift our embargo even though the company itself is still in admin, but as that company no longer holds the golden share it doesnt really matter to the league. I assume that would still be dependent on SISU filing accounts though. I presume it also means we are now...

    Ricoh Arena 'very profitable' even without Sky Blues

    I'd like to believe that was the reason but I suspect in reality it was more of a last ditch attempt to retain the footballing incomes. The directors of ACL may all be city fans but their first duty is to the profitability of ACL.

    Gordon Milne and Ian Holloway.

    Ricoh Arena 'very profitable' even without Sky Blues

    The flipside of that is if they were so certain that they can survive without the club then why did they make the last ditch £150k offer? Having previously stated that the best and final offer was £400k? Smacks of desperation. The thing is though, if they are telling porkies about the...

    Ricoh Arena 'very profitable' even without Sky Blues

    I suspect because it wasnt half the stadium for that, it was half of ACL which isnt the same thing.

    SISU/Otium to sell to Byng & the Chinese ???

    Didnt he say previously that he had a deal in principle agreed with the Higgs to buy their half?

    He's based in Leamington I believe.

    SISU/Otium to sell to Byng & the Chinese ???

    I think its safe to assume that he can organise a bid but just didnt for whatever reason. Perhaps Tim had a quiet word in his lughole that if he dropped his bid SISU would do a deal with him once they regained control. Pure speculation but its feasible and would explain why he is seemingly...
