    Fisher pays tribute to fans

    I think it's fair to say fans just want some sort of agreement and no off field matters causing any disruptions on field unfortunately I think this maybe the first of many long drawn out battles over various issues.

    That's the bit that worries me, But in theory everyone gets what they want Council and regeneration, community projects successful club, direct responsibility for the club handed over, bragging rights. Higgs fair price and relinquish ownership. SISU an end game complete ownership of...

    Ok well hopefully if a version of this suggestion could be used then maybe the charity can get money back at a fair price agreed by an independent valuer.

    Yes that is fair comment if cost price is more than an independent market value you would have to agree on an independent value. I would be very surprised if that is less than cost price though. There could be an option for SISU to sell on their share and the agreement at any point in...

    The strategy is their own publically stated goals. All that is added is a guarantee that they have an option to obtain a percentage of the stadium at cost price as they achieve those goals. It is a bonus they don't have at the moment It is a complete win win for SISU. Please expand how...

    Also by cost price the charity should get their money back. I believe the charity would be happy with this if they saw community projects, regeneration and financial security for the city's football club Bit by bit they would see a phased transition of removal of their ownership of the...

    Yes it is what I suggested, tweaked to include financial stability over a longer period. Correct me if I am wrong but the other day were you not suggesting an alternative in which SISU effectively run ACL out of business. I think people see The charity and ACL as synonyms. Yes take the point...

    Time to do it at home!

    I do wonder if the atmosphere contributes to the less emphatic home performances

    Fisher pays tribute to fans

    I agree this is a critical time going forward and I hope something along these lines can be agreed SISU have said they are in it for the long run. They want the club to become a community centred club. They want to get back to the premiership. They want to invest in the team as they...

    Haven't seen anything about the rent

    Want OSB to have a look at it. I am sure he will spot some financial regulations that could scupper its legality. Some of the characters involved in this remind me of the Middle East Especially the ones behind the scenes that nobody knows who they are :) !

    Haven't seen anything about the rent

    Joy seems to think they have a bargain. The council were saying that's what they wanted to see. So why not formalise it instead of propaganda rhetoric. You will be still putting your faith in SISU as they will doing what you want them to and gradually get the stadium bit by bit in return...

    Haven't seen anything about the rent

    To match the positive feel on the pitch I am also searching for common sense changes behind the scenes to ensure I can continue to fulfil the promises I gave to the Council, back in the summer of 2012, that were based on my commitment to deliver three key points: 1) On-going funding for a...

    Haven't seen anything about the rent

    "There are huge obstacles to the way forward and some potential show stoppers which are not neccessarily in the Council's control. "We will want to make certain any additional revenue that may be generated through the Ricoh Arena primarily goes into the football club, not to pay off SISU's...

    Sorry did think it was that, then thought maybe you meant from the most important people SISU, not here

    Haven't seen anything about the rent

    They have stated previously and joy has stated recently she has kept her end of the bargain by doing it. Rhetoric from both sides. Get them to put their money where their mouths are and sign a formal agreement. If such an agreement was in place last summer I would actually say SISU would...

    automatic promotion out of reach?

    You can get 3-1 on a top six finish. That's quite good.

    Haven't seen anything about the rent

    If I was ACL, I would effectively call SISU out, with the help of the council. SISU have said they are in it for the long run. They want the club to become a community centred club. They want to get back to the premiership. They want to invest in the team as they learnt what happens if...

    2013 A Fresh Start?

    I agree, give SISU success driven incentives to get that share of the stadium. Community projects. Financial stability. Success on the pitch. Leads to discounted ownership of the stadium bit by bit. Over the long term. This should be ok, SISU are in it for the long term.
