    SCG Minutes from 5th March meeting

    I see the question of getting a mobile shop on match days was raised, they say it's 'impossible', I really don't think they are trying very hard.

    SCG Minutes from 5th March meeting

    The pro SISU approach is probably why they want to get Nick involved. :)

    SCG Minutes from 5th March meeting

    http://mobile.ccfc.co.uk/news/article/scg-minutes-march-coventry-city-league-one-2353631.aspx Not the most thrilling or contentious read, but I'm sure there's something we can argue about.

    8,700....really ?

    Certainly explains why they came in, but there seems little point in them still being here now.

    8,700....really ?

    Other than the £50m to £100m I'd agree with you, I don't think it would have to be that much. I've got to the point where I've given up any hope in getting even to the upper reaches of the Championship, I just want to see a few wins at home with plenty of effort being put in.

    8,700....really ?

    SISU are still interested for some reason, and of course we didn't have a stadium when they came in originally. With a lot of debt in the club I can't see anyone else coming in, we just need to wait until SISU's investors call it a day. When that happens I can imagine someone will think it's...

    8,700....really ?

    I can't immediately remember anything about CCC stopping Higgs doing a deal, obviously it was in the power of both CCC and Higgs to stop the transfer of the others 50%, but it didn't actually get to that (well there's no evidence for it).

    8,700....really ?

    It was signed up to in the HOT, so clearly it never got to the point of being enacted. You were making the point the Council would never agree to such a thing due to their inflexibility, and their unwillingness to have discussion, but clearly that isn't correct.

    SISU and the Council agreed on a 125 year lease.

    RATINGS v Doncaster

    Willis, Stokes and Odelusi get lowest marks from me. Samuel showed he's much better than most in this league, and ward did ok, as did Barton. Bringing Phillips on didn't work out, not sure what the idea behind that was.

    New Coventry City FC stadium plan seems 'crazy', says football finance expert

    In this hypothetical scenario the clubs new owners could ask ACL and SISU to put forward their best rent offer to the club. With two stadiums in competition we should get a good deal.

    Yep, like I said. Higgs could agree to sell at a lower price.

    Fisher on new stadium

    SISU could not have bought the 50% from Higgs after Wasps came in, Higgs offered the chance to bid just to make sure there was no legal comeback if they didn't. Whoever held the other 50%, be it CCC or Wasps at that stage, would have vetoed the sale. That's why it seems odd to me that SISU...

    Auditors query Coventry City FC as a going concern

    The club can't afford to build a ground without someone putting all the money in, whether that be a SISU company or other businesses. The club cannot afford to pay a high rent to anyone, whether that be a SISU company or anyone else. So it doesn't bother me if a new ground gets built as the club...

    Fisher on new stadium

    This formula price argument, surely it was setting the maximum price that had to be paid by the club/clubs owners, not the minimum. Higgs could agree to sell at a lower price, as in fact they did with SISU's original offer.

    Fisher on new stadium

    It would certainly been the best deal for SISU, and possibly for the club. The judge seems sure the bank were never going to agree to SISU's maximum £5m offer to buy the loan, and all evidence points to him being right. He also said the Council were right to be wary of SISU taking over the loan...

    Fisher on new stadium

    The sale deal was already done by then, but I'd imagine they were bound by contract not to say anything. Clearly it would have been better to say nothing. The time to make a move was back in Dec 13, or before of course.

    RATINGS v Bradford ???

    Burge and Fleck would get highest marks from me, and Pennington did well especially considering he got absolutely no help from Samuel when he came on.
