Ashley sold Sports Direct didn’t he? House of Fraser now “HOF Stadium” might it be? Were he Hoffman in all this? Free naming rights and not a dickiebird.

I do wish people would stop referring to the Council getting or spending “their” money. It’s taxpayer money that they manage on our behalf. That they waste it on vanity projects or mishandle is a big cause of concern.

C’mon GIMOC, tell us more - we won’t out who you really are Gary.

That’s good.

It’s not ambition, but waiting it out and being prudent will see great progress for CCFC. So many Derby type situations where finances are precarious to say the least. Outside of those clubs backed by hugely wealthy lunatics, the cost of debt is going to spiral and Mr HMRC is going to be...

No argument there.

Means MA is there.

Let’s phrase it differently and see if you still think the same: “Coventry Council Tax payers should contribute for repairs on something that a big business was responsible for. Either taxpayers pay more or local services must get cut” People often forget where the Council get their money.

I saw that - huge coincidences all round but stuck to original thoughts due to the historic injury / team news / player pay knowledge. I know Overson had kindly put in some facility but unless he’s there day to day not sure he would so quickly have known about each COVID test and who was not...

Same model that SISU had but to be fair to MA he’s less likely to switch tap off as quick as SISU did. What would SISU take? £40m (£20m players the rest goodwill / Ryton etc) What’s the Arena going to cost? £40m with some other liabilities added? Is the whole CCFC plus Arena package worth...

To be fair to you you’ve been quite accurate with your predictions to date, ignore the gibbons on here who try to knock you. I’m going to now check you syntax and work out who you are 🤣

TBF if managed and funded right it’s not bad business sense to have the Wasps here - extra income from advertising at stadium (greater number of eyeballs on each advert) etc. Personally - rather they went back to London but I could see why MA might want to keep them here.

Ironically you can still buy a Hummel Wasps shirt from Sports Direct for 59.99 What does MA know? (Last bit is satire)

If there is an extension (and it looks like there will be) it’ll be interesting to find out who is putting the money in to pay the costs while this is going on? Stewarding Police Ongoing insurance I guess by extension it’ll be CCFC and gate receipts.

I wonder if SISU and Ashley are working together on this - it would make sense. MA would know that buying the stadium with SISU hostile is a big risk. It’s SISU’s best “out”. Use their leverage positions to make sure MA can get the stadium with the proviso that he then buys CCFC. Personally...

That sounds most likely and will probably avoid further potential SISU claim potential that would occur if we played at Walsall. They’ll have to show that some kind of deal is possible though, but with bidders like the NEC and Ashley at the table proof of funds and potential resolution is no...

And secured against the leasehold - checked the other day. Didn’t know amounts. My £80m absolute top line guess might be less laughable now.

As I’ve said. It’s unlikely it’ll be sold as a going concern before deadline. Next level is admin but the debt is secured via bonds and the lease has covenants which might give SISU legal angle. After that is liquidation and the question is if the lease reverts to CCC

So when I’m going on about debt being attached and the potential that SISU attaching the potential Legal’s on…..

Apparently SISU and Ashley in on the mix.
