Read it again, CCC never agreed to extend the lease to 125 years and Justice Hickinbottom stated there was "no possible way the council would be willing to agree a transaction with Sisu". And of course even if SISU were 100% convinced a 200 year lease was available despite there never having...

If you're referencing what I think you are referencing then you are talking about SISU's negotiations with Higgs not CCC. SISU proposed purchasing Higgs share of ACL and as part of that deal the lease would be extended to 125 years which would have needed the approval of CCC. They entered into a...

Would also expect it will bring an end to the promotion the trust did on behalf of the ladies team. What happens if and when we get new owners if they are big supporters of womens football and start a new womens side under the Coventry City banner with the full backing of the club? I suspect in...

Tony, there is zero evidence to suggest that CCC were prepared to sell ACL to SISU under the same terms they sold to Wasps. There is however plenty of evidence to suggest they would not offer that, or indeed any other deal to SISU or any other past or potential owner of the football club...

I can't imagine it costs a huge amount to run the ladies side. Are any of their players full time and salaried? If they aren't then the costs are surely in line with the likes of Sphinx. Would have thought if they made it known they needed backing and started a fundraising drive they wouldn't...

No and at no point have I, or anyone else, said that. What I have said is that if what is stated on this thread is correct and ACL refused to allow Coventry City Ladies to play any further matches at the Ricoh, which as far as I know is new information, they have questions to answer. Whilst it...

That is not what I'm saying at all. What I am saying is that it requires two parties to engage in negotiations. From what I can see every time SISU have attempted to negotiate with CCC they have been given the brush off. Simply put CCC did not want to sell ACL to CCFC, the judge in the JR could...

Personally I think agents need to be removed from the game. Think the PFA should take on responsibility for advising players on contracts, could be funded by contribution from transfer fees or a union style subscription.

When TM was first talking about making signings he said he was going to identify roles that needing filling and then potential players to fill those roles. He stated that if the first player they tried to sign didn't sign it wasn't an issue as the supply of players far outweighs the demand for...

That may well be the case but the question would be should we happily accept that? We are being told we should with the ladies team.

If they want to work with the owners of Coventry United that's fine. It is the changing of the teams name and colours that is the issue. You seem very defensive of this, are you in some way involved?

What has CCFC communicating with the ladies team got to do with anything. That's not a new thing that goes back years. It certainly doesn't give those running the ladies team the right to change the clubs name and colours. As I asked before the mens team are in the same position, would you be...

Doesn't give them carte blanche to change the team name and colours. We aren't affiliated with anyone else so I assume you would have no issue if SISU changed the name and colours of the mens team?

Not really irrelevant is it? A team representing Coventry who have in the past played their bigger games at the Ricoh have now been told they can't play there anymore. I haven't heard the interview but if that is correct then I think questions need to be asked of ACL.

Football clubs should not change their name or colours, certainly not without a full consultation and support of the fanbase. That overrides everything for me. Would you be OK with SISU deciding to change our name and colours? You can't deny that from a name recognition standpoint it does huge...

For SISU to know CCC would have had to tell them at some point. CCC did not do that. At no point when SISU were speaking with CCC were they offered a 200 year lease. Negotiation requires two willings parties. As James pointed out even the judge in the JR could see that there was "no possible way...

Hopefully the attendances will be bumped up by a lot of package tickets on top of the season tickets.

If that's what happened its piss poor stage management. If you have a strict curfew you should schedule the headline act to finish a minimum of 15 mins before the curfew to allow for any overrun. Its down to the stage manager to make sure all the acts are on and off at the correct time. Wonder...

Terrible decision in my opinion. For a start no football team should change its name and colours, especially without a full consultation process with the fans. That's a disgrace and absolutely unforgivable. It will also damage the teams profile. Irrespective of any formal connection to CCFC...

They would now because what was available for sale would be on the market. You could fairly easily flip the negotiation arguement around and level the exact same critism at CCC, that they did not effectively negotiate with SISU. Think about it, we know that in the most recent talks between CCC...
