But it is limited, undervalue sales shouldn't be undervalue by more than £2m and should be for either environmental, social or economic improvement. Of course if those regulations applied it would be further complicated by issues of state aid due to an uncompetitive sale and the value with the...

You're not saying people haven't gone to war or killed people in the name of christianity are you?

IMO thats why they sold ACL and a huge lease extension, way past the lifetime of the stadium so effectively the freehold, rather than the freehold itself. There are far more regulations that come in to play if they sold the freehold including a requirement for it to be placed on the open market...

And none of those points are relevant to what is being discussed. The discussion taking place is around one point and its not placing blame on CCFC's predicament on anyone. Its a very simple point, really not sure why some are struggling so much to understand it. To get the best return for the...

Forget SISU, they aren't who I'm talking about. I'm talking about the council getting the best return for the taxpayer. You might need to go back and read post 127 of this thread. The second point I made was purely about the sale process and getting the best return for the taxpayer, nothing to...

Why focus on Wasps? Nobody has any idea how many interested parties there would have been. Doesn't have to be a football or rugby club. Could be a venue management company or just someone looking for an investment opportunity. What action do you think would have been successful in stopping a...

But if you're being milked for every penny to the point its virtually impossible to turn a profit whats the point? The hospitality is a prime example. Make the club pay practically retail price and pay for all covers required or not. Would be very surprised if there's not numerous matches this...

I have a sneak suspicion. Why else would he still be about, he must be on the payroll. If he's retired shouldn't that be the end of his contract?

OK then, just for you read it as a stadco in the same group of companies as whatever entity the football club is at the time.

Equally the ability to have successful events is also down to the terms the owners are willing to let the club have the venue under. We have seen with things like hospitality how the club get taken for every penny whenever there is an opportunity.

In which case SISU wouldn't have won and open and transparent bidding process. Struggling to see on what basis SISU could take legal action if the council decide to sell something owned by the taxpayer in a open and transparent manner. So why, to borrow a phrase, sell at the 'bottom of the...

If he's not talking to Fisher about this why doesn't he just come out and say so? That would be his best bet and then the focus in the media would be on what is being done for CRFC rather than constant rumours and whispers about a ground share.

The hospital probably thought it would be too depressing for the kids to have to meet all our players.

Would be surprised if nothing happened.

I can't see any reason other than concern others would raise objections. Remember they stated CRFC were aware and had been consulted only for CRFC to say they hadn't. Maybe they didn't want to be seen to be selling the stadium while we were in Northampton. What else is there to be scared of...

As I said CCFC ownership would be a best case scenario. At no point have I said a proper sale process would have definitely ended with the club owning the stadium. What I have said is that process taking place would potentially give a greater return to the taxpayer, at worst it would give the...

No I'm saying that you can't say taxpayers approve of the deal on the basis of people not storming the council house to complain. Non-CCFC fans won't have looked in detail in the same way most of us would not look at the councils dealings that don't directly impact us, and most CCFC fans are...
