    MK Dons Away

    I was there a month or so ago. Tiny office full of people with piles of paper everywhere and Tim Fisher and his dog in the corner. Welcome to CCFC!

    Fisher : CCFC would not own Ricoh Areana if Otium bought the freehold

    I understand the trust issue, and your final point is a valid one (I don't believe a new stadium will ever be built). I genuinely believe it is now a straight choice between a CCFC owned Ricoh or no CCFC. The point is though, despite their previous mismanagement, their intentions with regard...

    Fisher : CCFC would not own Ricoh Areana if Otium bought the freehold

    Not really, unless you genuinely think their dastardly plan would be to close down a business owing them tens of millions (they couldn't sell it, only a mentalist would buy the football club if it was offered for sale separate from the arena), simply so that they could sell on the stadium for a...

    Fisher : CCFC would not own Ricoh Areana if Otium bought the freehold

    Fine, but please then give up the pretence that what you advocate is for the good of the club. By your own admission, you would rather the club ceased to exist than return home under the stewardship of SISU. For what it's worth, I don't think you are alone, there are a significant number of...

    Fisher : CCFC would not own Ricoh Areana if Otium bought the freehold

    Except you had already responded to the original post with the response "total dreamer". An odd response given that all I had done was suggest the corporate structure referred to would be perfectly normal (which it would). And yes, I would be a more than happy for SISU to own the Ricoh if it...

    Fisher : CCFC would not own Ricoh Areana if Otium bought the freehold

    You seen desperate for the team not to come home. On the plus side (for you), you'll get your wish. The council will not sell the freehold, because they have the sleepwalking majority on their side. So they will reject the deal, and CCFC will stay in Northampton until it either builds a new...

    Fisher : CCFC would not own Ricoh Areana if Otium bought the freehold

    What, for suggesting that keeping the football club and stadium businesses separate under a holding company would be perfectly normal? Really? Are you always this hysterical?

    Fisher : CCFC would not own Ricoh Areana if Otium bought the freehold

    Not unheard of no, but given that nobody of sane mind would ever buy a Ricoh based CCFC as a standalone entity, it's kind of a mute point. Any profit from a subsequent sale of the Ricoh (minus the club) would not come close to recouping the losses they have incurred bankrolling the football...

    Fisher : CCFC would not own Ricoh Areana if Otium bought the freehold

    Perhaps, but it beats cynical, wonky-eyed conspiracy theorist.

    Fisher : CCFC would not own Ricoh Areana if Otium bought the freehold

    But they'd be owned by the same company - the comparison you are making doesn't stack up. See the post from KH above, TF has already addressed this point. Whether you choose to believe him is up to you, but the arrangement proposed is perfectly normal.

    Fisher : CCFC would not own Ricoh Areana if Otium bought the freehold

    Says who? Of course the club and arena management company would be kept separate (probably under a holding company) - that would be the case under any owner. That doesn't mean to say that the club would be charged rent and/or that revenues would not be channeled to the club from stadium...

    MK Dons Away

    A month to go, should be 4.5k minimum. Win our next few games and I reckon we might break a few records.

    MK Dons Away

    Is this debate still going on? Have a word with yourselves FFS. Once you've done that, go and buy a ticket for MK Dons away and stop being so wet.

    Best player for Coventry from the 90s

    Ndlovu was class, but Huckerby by far the better player for me. Huckerby also played at the top for a longer period with several clubs in a top flight full of star foreigners. You only have to look at how Norwich City fans worship Huckerby to understand what a great player he was. As for...

    Jordan Clarke

    Totally agree. Often when youngsters make their full debut they look a bit lightweight, but he is quick and strong and didn't look out of place. Another great prospect.

    Walsall Sold Out

    Last year we were allocated 3100 for a bank holiday monday game when blues were also playing wolves at st andrews. We also took 5000 to Blues in the cup a few years back on the same day that villa were hosting blackburn, so I don't think it is an issue. Moving ST holders may be an issue, but...
