    Timings of the talks

    It seems likely the JR request will fail again. Are SISU trying to get the talks going whilst it is still in the pipeline, as an extra bargaining chip. Will talks happen before the matter is finalised?

    This clip reminds me of this battle

    Interpret as you like. However for me the council are played by Tiddles. SISU are played by Snappy. http://www.mostwatchedtoday.com/tag/cat-fighting-alligator/ The Ricoh is played by a Chicken

    Coventry City owners invite council to talks over Sky Blues returning to Ricoh Arena

    It's financial restructuring to protect a council investment. It's not illegal

    sorry but its a PR game again! no chance of ricoh return

    The council in my opinion will lose this battle, or they will at least be the side begging the club to buy or rent. I have been informed by Mr Fisher that the club is never going to rent the Ricoh and the Ex Council Leader Mr Mutton told me the council will never sell. The key is the Judicial...

    A deadline Superb Joy put your best bid in or agree a long term rent deal before Jan 31st. Finally this rubbish will be over one way or the other

    Coventry City owners invite council to talks over Sky Blues returning to Ricoh Arena

    Or a valuation based on a successful football team. As with better football management that is what should be at the Ricoh after spending 70 million on a football club

    Coventry City owners invite council to talks over Sky Blues returning to Ricoh Arena

    Remove yourself from the Ricoh then ask for an independent valuation of it. I hope the valuation is based on the value with a successful football team there.

    Les Reid - still at it !

    I think he dismissed the poll under his last telegraph article, which did not go his way. As a flawed poll. Never to be mentioned again. Yet he made reference to the 800 signatures in just four days in the flawed petition. Strange......

    Can anyone Explain this?

    Oh and it wasn't that pie in the sky It has been offered before so I can't see why it can't be offered again In 2004 and 2005 a proposal was made by Sir Derek Higgs that there should be different base rents for each League with escalators that would relate attendance to payment. He was a...

    Can anyone Explain this?

    I didn't include that in the options as 1) Could the council and SISU agree a price 2) Would the council be able to justify selling to SISU with their current business record and acumen. Would the Council get the majority vote. Which is why it is either rent or build your own stadium. I...

    Can anyone Explain this?

    I know what you are saying However I think even with estimates. It seems quite striking that this concept that we need to build a stadium to be financially viable. Is completely flawed. I am at a loss to understand why anyone who has had access to Ms Seppela or Mr Fisher have not pressed...

    Can anyone Explain this?

    That's part of what I don't get. Are you saying 80% of F&B at the Ricoh Is significantly worse less than 100% of a 12k stadium? Unfortunately for SISU I think the only way they are going to get a chunk of their money back is if we are within a realistic shout of the Championship play offs...

    Can anyone Explain this?

    Sorry hill I thought we were planning to build our own stadium. Regarding the first option. It is based on what was offered to the administrator when he was in charge of the club. With some slight modifications that SISU should try and negotiate a long term rent deal along those lines. So...

    Can anyone Explain this?

    If SISU attempt to negotiate a sliding scale rent based on attendances. Including the 80% F&B that was previously offered. The rent would have an additional scale within each division. It would alter per month within the scale depending on the average attendance for that month. Sign up to...

    22k break even myth !!!!

    I assume it would be not be anywhere near that if SISU negotiated a long term sliding scale rent based on attendances, including that 80% F&B. I guess the key comment is sliding scale including based on attendances. I really struggle and so nobody on here has been able to explain how building...

    If we get promoted

    Someone has suggested they were told by a source that if we are in with a shout of promotion that SISU will try to not sell anyone. That they will not sell for league one values as they feel this squad is better than that. This tells me that they think this squad is good enough for the...
