    Coventry City Conversations

    I saw that, what an absolute embarrassment for our club. We had Sepalla on a sunny day hiding under an umbrella desperately trying to stop the cameraman getting a shot of her and then Fisher, who looks ill, waffling complete rubbish. If anyone hasn't seen it have a look on iplayer for Mondays...

    Good headline from Guardian paper

    They went to court twice regarding unpaid rent and ACL won both time, from memory SISU didn't even attempt a defence. The issue then was if ACL chose to enforce the judgement it would have impacted on the club through either administration or liquidation as it was technically the club that owed...

    Apologies Michael

    You're correct the FL can't force SISU to accept any deal offered by ACL but what they can do is enforce their own rules and state that they will only allow Coventry City to compete in the FL in the upcoming season if home games are played in Coventry.

    JR Verdict Thread

    If they are allowed to they will appeal, it will drag on for months and there will be more spent on lawyers. Surely though there must come a point where they have to consider walking away. The question then is how they do it, would they liquidate us? I suspect they would if that gave them the...

    kcic statement

    If its a phone call to arrange a meeting then that can easily done by phone or email. If I phone someone to arrange a meeting and they don't answer I just ping them an email with possible dates / times and ask them to pick one, not sure why that is so difficult for ML. The impression I got, and...

    kcic statement

    I find it strange that a few weeks ago when the 'secret meetings' became public knowledge we were told ML would happily meet anyone but now he seems unable to find time to meet on something like this. I believe Michael has been to London numerous times for protests so ML not being in Coventry...

    Sky Blues will discuss KCIC Ricoh Rent offer

    I think any potential acceptance of the deal will depend on if SISU are running out of options. What it does is allow a method of return without SISU having to climbdown and go back cap in hand to ACL and it also means they don't have to deal directly with ACL. Both things that could be...

    Kcic front bid to buy club

    And I think that will be a big problem. How confident would CCC and Higgs be to hand over the Ricoh in the belief that the contract is water tight and SISU won't find a way out based on their behaviour to date? I think that is the reason CCC need to retain the freehold, gives them a little more...

    Kcic front bid to buy club

    Gave my Northampton supporting mate a quick ring to get their side. Cardoza has apparently refused to reveal how much we are paying. Some of their fans were pushing for an answer in the belief that he was pocketing some of it when he had previously said all the rent we pay would go to the club...

    Kcic front bid to buy club

    No I don't and nowhere have I claimed I do. As I've already said several times all SISU need to do is say we will consider the offer fully once we have seen proof of funds from KCIC and have confirmed with ACL the rental deal on offer. I would be more than happy with that response. Its a win win...

    Kcic front bid to buy club

    this offer is only for 3 years so its not going to be a problem 10 years down the line. all it will do is get the club back to Coventry on a temporary basis and allow 3 years for our owners to either build their new stadium or come up with a plan that allows us to stay at the Ricoh long term. if...

    Kcic front bid to buy club

    By proceed I mean they will move to the next stage once they have proof of funds and conformation from ACL of the offer. The next stage being to give it full consideration. It would take about 5 minutes of SISU's time to put out a statement bouncing it back to KCIC and ACL, why wouldn't they...

    Kcic front bid to buy club

    SISU claimed they could not accept a rental deal as they could not work with ACL. With the offer from KCIC they wouldn't need to so they can accept an offer that is financially beneficial to our owners and to our club and as I've said, who knows, it could be the first step to repairing the...

    Kcic front bid to buy club

    Why not flip that question. If SISU say they will proceed once they have that information the pressure is on ACL, surely something that would be attractive to SISU? If ACL then come out and say it's £1m a year rent and £1m a year matchday costs what do you think the reaction would be, do you...

    Kcic front bid to buy club

    I think you can assume, based on the most recent offers, costs would be in the region of £400K per season inclusive of matchday costs and non ticketing revenues would go to ACL. Again though this can work in SISUs favour. Release a statement saying they welcome the offer from KCIC as they...

    Kcic front bid to buy club

    What further details do you need past what KCIC have posted to prove its a good deal? I can understand people asking questions about who is behind it etc but I'm not sure on what basis it could be claimed to not be a good deal compared to our current situation. It looks to me like this deal is...

    Kcic front bid to buy club

    It is indeed free for under 5000 but my reply was to Bennets Afro's post suggesting KCIC should pay all rent and matchday costs regardless of attendance and SISU should get all matchday revenues in addition to ticket revenues. We won't need 3 years anyway, there's only 2 years until our new...

    new away kit

    I'd quite like them to revive a couple of the old kits as away kits. Particularly the red and black half and half and the green and red half and half.

    Kcic front bid to buy club

    So you're basically saying someone else should pay all the costs and SISU should get the income from everything? Even on a 3 year deal there's a, admittedly very slim, chance we could be back in the prem with our owners not paying anything out and the ground sold out every week at PL ticket...
