Unfortunately neither side really want to run a football club. Yes SISU control CCFC but they wish they didn't have to. They wish they could access their money and run. Unfortunately that doesn't bode well in negotiations when they want a share of the stadium. ACL must be concerned that they...

there is a lot of sense being talked on this thread. I am actually enjoying reading it. well done everyone.

The same alternative as they have now. They need a ground and ACL have one for rent. take it or leave it.

different budgets

where do you get 300o swindon fans from? they never take that anywhere - even to wembley

If it wasn't for the council the club would have had nowhere to play for the last 8 years. It was the club sold the family silver. We had a perfectly good ground - now we don't. Can't see that as the Council's fault.

You appear to have knowledge of facts that no one else has access to. What £800K?

I wish someone could explain to me how FFP is anything but a good thing for the club and SISU. It forces them to live within their means. It has nothing to do with rent. If they are paying £3m in wages they need a turnover of £4.6m. That is irrespective of what rent they are paying. If...

I do not think it is possible to break even with a football club in the modern age - if it ever was. Clubs that do not post losses generally have a benefactor pumping money in. The only way that football clubs can survive is to have other income streams. ie the football will always make a...

I haven't been on this site for a while because quite frankly it is a deeply unpleasant experience. It shows Coventry people in a very poor light - bigotted, opinionated, aggressive, offensive. I find it a bit disturbing that people identify with the club more than with the city. Is that an...

In a nutshell what ACL are saying is correct. The rent that SISU wish to pay is now so low that ACL could manage without it. A couple of big concerts would probably pay the same. 15000 people out of the entire population of Coventry go to the matches. ACL has a responsibility to them not...

very polite

can we afford him? No.

It is a thankless task playing up front as a lone striker

Feel sorry for those who made the trip up there why? If they've seen a good game?

To be honest I don't care if CCFC never return to the premier. I have very little interest in that 'football'. It bears very little relation to what I believe football should be about. But the club is in a position where it cannot continue indefinitely in this division or really even in the...

the very suggestion that SISU have actively considered the idea of ground sharing with other tin pot clubs says more about their competence, their understanding of football fans and their attitude to the people of coventry than anything else. At least when Ransom was here they had someone with...

definitely not. it is 130 miles from where I live and takes three hours instead of two to get to the ground. disgraceful. Personally I would not be sad to see the Ricoh go. it is entirely soulless.

what is your point? are you implying this never happens? (P18)

In my limited experience it is not the tenants that decide halfway through a tenancy what the rent should be. if you are, say, a bank manager living in a four bed detached house and you lose your job and have to take a job packing crisps, within a few months you will be selling your home and...
