So when it comes to selling the club, presumably the stadium owner will be sold alongside the SBS&L group. So any potential future owner will have to be willing to take on a company with £30m+ debts, with no income streams?

You still haven't told me what they do to connect to their city.

Was it? Ok thanks for clearing that up for me. I'm glad you know what I am thinking. When was the last time the football club showcased the city?

It will put the club and its associated companies into more debt. Or are you saying the company that will ultimately own this new ground will not be part of the CCFC group of companies?

What do they do then?

Thats my point. Go around Coventry and you wouldnt even know we have a football team. Where's the adverts? Where's the fan interaction? Where's the presence in the city? What do they do to make themselves part of the community? Visiting sick children in hospital is all good, but that isn't...

Good one. Have you got any suggestions on how to sort this mess out or are you just on the wind up again? I would have hoped a super fan such as yourself would have taken this subject more seriously. Unfortunately it seems that once again you have taken this opportunity to make a few snide...

I haven't particularly seen much from Wasps in doing things to directly help the community. However lets not kid ourselves regarding CCFC. CCFC's presence in the city and county has always been minuscule. They don't involve themselves with local people whatsoever. They do nothing to connect to...

Ok lets plunge the club millions in debt and move it out of the city because of the colour of the seats (which when Mark Robins proposed a few years ago half of the posters on here thought it was a good idea anyway). As you say its down to what Wasps are prepared to do. So your solution seems...

Working with Wasps/ACL is the only sensible option left. Anything else doesn't make sense. Loading the club up with massive interest debt to pay for a stadium no one wants is going to kill the club. Sisu need to sit down with Wasps and sort something out. If they keep picking fights that they...

Why don't sisu pay for the pitch to be relayed? They didn't mind doing that at Northampton.

Looks like this needs to be posted again: Just look at the last time each club had a good season. A good season being: winning a trophy, finishing in the play offs or automatic promotion places, qualifying for Europe. I think this says it all: Arsenal 2014 Brentford 2014 Brighton & Hove Albion...

I think some have an issue of understanding responsibility. CCFC is 100% the responsibility of its directors & owners. Whilst others may influence it, it is the responsibility of its directors to adapt the club to such influences to ensure CCFC's prosperity. Likewise, had Sisu's INFLUENCE...

The part I struggle to understand is its relevance. You've told me what the council wanted, you haven't told me what the club (that thing that brings us all on here) wanted. Why didn't the club, at any point in the last 12 years, present a bid for the council's share in ACL?

Its interesting that in that graph Peterborough had similar revenue to us, yet when we were after Mackail-Smith and Aaron McLean Barry Fry immediately rebuffed us saying we couldn't afford it. How come could Peterborough do that but we cant?

Ok, but why was no bid made?

You still didn't answer why no bid was made for the councils half.

Wonder why they never submitted a bid for the councils half?

Which is precisely why a new stadium isn't the answer. (I'm not suggesting throwing millions at promotion is either).

Why don't they buy the land on the other side of the railway and build an exhibition hall there?
