Agree SISU if they are building a new stadium SISU should put their shareholders first, then their business, then their football club and finally their customers. Approach ACL and ask for a 5 year rent deal slightly better than the current cost of playing at Northampton.

I take it you do not believe they are building a new stadium?

I would send them a email naming a time and place and see if they front up. If they do I may get a deal that suits me. If they don't I put them to bed for good their credibility destroyed.

Because it is better for them financially than playing Northampton whilst they build a new stadium. Which is what they maintain they are doing. They are a business that has to do the best for its investors. Surely cutting the losses whilst building the new stadium is best for their investors?

How could they stitch you up if you agree to meet them?

If that is in reference to myself I hardly think saying I would take the call and I would not have gone to the press so early as defending it. However there is clearly two sides to this, you seem to think the offer is shite I don't think that can be said till SISU name a time and place.

I would take the call and reiterate what I said in my email. This deal is complex and has to be discussed face to face. I would not have gone to the media so early. On the other side once I was told it needs to be face to face and phone calls are not an option, I would test the water by...

What would happen if you replied to an email saying 5pm Ryton training ground tomorrow?

The short and simple thing to it is. It will help ACL. It won't happen.

To be fair if I wanted to find out if it was any good, a possibility, not right for me or a load of shite. I would agree to meet them. If its shite they won't agree to a meet. The others I will only know by meeting them.

Have to say if someone offered me a deal and it is one that may benefit me. If I say lets chat about it on the phone and the person says no this is too important for that lets do it face to face. Can you guess what I would do next.........

Alternatively is it possible the businessman (men). May believe they will get a negative response as they may have tried to do things in the past that for various reasons did not come off. They may have said we will stay out of the publicity until it looks like we can do a deal. Also if SISU...

Not sure who made that comment however maybe they mean SISU leaving would get Coventry back to Coventry?

Just thought I would beat CCFCWAY to it ..... 'Sky Blues boss Steven Pressley meeting with targets as he aims to get deals done over the next ten days'

I know ;) Unfortunately anything that helps ACL will not be accepted. (IMO) Maybe the backer just knows the negative reaction he will get so is keeping his peace.

I completely disagree. It is totally appropriate that secret businessmen fund a third party to get another business funded by secret businessmen back to the Ricoh secretly using Grendel to teleconference it :)

I thought it was a big no no to name threads after people ;)

It will be leaked as soon as they know

The FA have pretty much said come the end of the third year if there is not sufficient progress in the stadium then we will be expelled from the league. Just wish they would take back the golden share and put it up to auction for anybody who can make it work in Coventry, punishing the owners...
