Sounds like three-years to me. http://www.coventrytelegraph.net/sport/football/football-news/sisu-boss-joy-seppala-rejects-6363684 Even if it was ten years - at £100k/pa the buy out should the club choose to build a new stadium (presuming it couldn't negotiate for more of what it wants at the...

And once again we descend into madness. At what point did Cov CC/ACL talk to Haskell. Was it before or after SISU stopped paying the bills? Before or after TF shook hands on a reduced rent? Before or after the club had a third-party debt order placed against it by the court? Before or after...

What were the terms of the offer to (or rather via) the FL again? Would CCFC be better off financially under this deal, or not?

There is no "yeah, but" here. Again, I'm really amazed by the logic here. The rental deal was made to the FL so that everyone was aware there was an offer and what the nature of the it was. Does anyone here really believe that if SISU had agreed to accept the offer (or even talk about it)...

Just to pick you up on this NW, I presume you're talking about the latest rent offer made via the FL? To me, that offer was made via the FL so that SISU couldn't deny it - it seems obvious to me. Do you think that ACL would make the offer to the FL and then withdraw it if SISU accepted it?

Can we just be clear here - the Council does not have a controlling interest in ACL. I can't understand why there's so much confusion around this. They can't wind up or sell ACL all on their own. You're asking the council to do something that they simply can't do. You're also conflating the...

Higgs tried that - SISU left them with tens of thousands of pounds of costs. That court case is coming up in April. In the meantime, SISU's court case against the Council is coming up in June. On that basis, I think SISU may have to earn a bit of trust with the respective parties (and vice...

Mate, everything comes in cycles. In ten years time everyone will be playing on mudbaths, using 2-stone medicine balls, and have two very big lads up front. For the first time ever, the F.A. are ahead of the curve. Embrace the horror. ;)

I'm not sharing my topless waitress with anyone. I insist on (at the very minimum) a one to one ratio, this rising to two to one if I buy a ticket in the main stand. I shall inform Ms Garlick forthwith. :D

Actually, didn't those original Arena 2000 plans call for a capacity of 60,000 or so? Good Lord, what were we drinking.

Now you're getting it. ;)

If you were going to build it, and rely on attendance and revenue from those attendees to pay back all of the debt it would involve, then it's going to take a very, very long time if you limit it to only 15,000. But if you're not going to build it, you might as well plan for 100,000 and a...

In fairness, I'm not sure it matters. I'd rather have the Trust (or someone like that) on this committee so that we've got the hope of feedback without the spin. Obviously, once this all goes down the pan, I'd expect all of the members of the committee to have their heads shaved and be marched...

I should add (before I get a kicking), nowt wrong with Bed'ff. Friendly folk at the Oval, I've always found. Couldn't resist though, sorry!

It's OK mate, I'll lend you a quid - it'll save breaking your twenty. :D

Given they're never going to build it anyway, surely we can be far more ambitious. I demand 100,000. :)

Although in fairness if Steve did jump across the table and strangle Fisher whilst shouting "SISU out", and then posted it up to YouTube alongside a message saying "I'm glad I did it", I still don't think there's a court in Coventry that would convict him. ;) (I'm kidding btw, in case you...

Fwiw, and imho etc., I think Simon's done a good job here with both his recent interviews. In essence, to me, it seems that both Labovitch and the new ACL chap, Robinson, have said something along the lines of "we've got a plan, and the future's rosy". When challenged as to the fiscal...

I think he came round the house once, it was either double-glazing or driveway cleaning. Charming chap, though somehow he seemed to end up with my wedding ring after we'd shaken hands. No chap, I don't know him. But him and Fisher have been caught out more than once in absolute lies. Why...

Do you know it, RFC, or do you just believe it? It's just that there's quite a big difference.
