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...

Messi is signing on Monday, season tickets going up to a grand each :D

Did SISU know a 200 year lease was available in an approximate price range of say £5m - £10m. A yes or no will do. I would suggest given past actions of ACL, CCC and Higgs, such as offering the F&B for £24m, would make it unlikely SISU would believe the whole of ACL could be purchased with a...

Tony stop playing dumb. Saying we will listen to any serious offer is a laughable way to market an asset such as ACL. What they hell would a sensible offer be? Given that ACL quoted SISU £24m just for revenue access on a handful of days a year surely a serious offer would be hundreds of...

OK then Tony, lets assume SISU had zero interest in ever buying ACL with or without an extended lease. Now if you are the council and you want to get maximum return for what you have to sale do you put it on the open market and allow a full, free market, bidding process to take place. Or do you...

Was definitely there for the taking. Now she needs to build on it and not let it be a one off.

Perhaps you can share a link showing a quote from Lucas that a 200 year lease was available?

Thats absolute rubbish. You would have to be a complete idiot to truly believe there was zero chance that SISU would have even the slightest interest in purchasing ACL. And of course there is a complete unknown in that we don't know if any other potential purchasers would have come forward had...

But as far as we know at now point did SISU know the councils half was available under the terms with which it was sold to Wasps. Surely the fact that as soon as they knew about the vastly improved terms they bid for the Higgs half on the same basis gives an indication that there was at least a...

3-3 now, could be here a while at this rate!
