But on that basis you are suggesting SISU pay a market rate to purchase them. From everything we have heard they don't want to do this, they expect them to be handed over for free whilst also paying what most would consider a low rent for the type of facility they are getting. If SISU want to...

I'm not entirely sure what point you're trying to make here Grendel. I would love us to get all the revenues I just think the idea that we are entitled to them for free is a bit wide of the mark and I certainly wouldn't be in favour of spending what we don't have just because the FFP limit we...

That will be the one where the amount hasn't been decided yet.

I have no clue what other clubs do but most other clubs haven't decimated their income streams in the way we have. Anyway it's not that we don't get match day revenues is it, it's more we sold them off. Plenty of other clubs have done that I'm sure. Cardoza when interview about the ground share...

Spending money we didn't have is what got us in this mess in the first place. Don't see how doing the same thing is going to help us in the future.

Where is that £1.85 million going to come from? Those revenues are going to generate that amount of profit so whats going to make up the shortfall. No point raising the amount you can spend under FFP if you don't actually have the money to spend.

I know the answer to this, Fratton Park is at the end of my road. Pompey are currently paying around half a million a season just to keep the ground open. Even spending that they are at reduced capacity as they can't afford to maintain some parts of the ground to pass health and safety. Some...

That's their biggest mistake, apart from buying a football club. Imagine if on day 1 they had purchased half the stadium. At that point there was no JV, they would have had all matchday revenues and would have owned 50% of the company who would be dealing with any rent renegotiations. How much...

The unknown is what would have happened if SISU hadn't come along. We've ended up in admin anyway so what we will never know is would we have been better off going into admin then. If we had where would we be now? Would we still be in the same mess or would we have emulated Southampton. I think...

The flip side of that is does it make good business sense to stay in Northampton and lose literally millions in other revenue streams over £150K? If the argument is that the revenues are worth next to nothing in the grand scheme of things then what difference does it make if the club get them or...

Matchday revenues were initial given to the club as part of their share in ACL, when they sold that share to Higgs they of course had the option to buy that share back at a formula price but as we know that option disappeared thanks to the non payment of rent. I don't think the matchday revenues...

Or whatever someone is prepared to sell them for. If Compass, who are less likely to have any feelings one way or the other to CCFC, feel the value in retaining the company is greater than what they are being offered and / or what they have already put in how do you persuade them to sell?

Its a complex situation. Do we want the revenues for FFP or the profit for the bottom line. If it's revenues how are we going to use that to our advantage when the amount to budget for FFP would be more than the profit, what will make up the shortfall. Once you know what we want it's still not...

Does anyone know at what point SISU have to provide evidence to the FL that they are actually building this new ground and what progress has been made. Surely with the season starting at the weekend they must have checked up on that by now.

I think you're arguing semantics. Prior the JR I certainly didn't expect any deal to be agreed, rental or other wise, that allowed the continuation of legal action against ACL, CCC or Higgs. I think it was generally accepted that one of the conditions ACL placed on any deal was the JR being...

True but Fisher has stated they have no choice and will have to appeal which doesn't sound to me like we've heard the last of the JR. If they weren't planning to appeal you would have thought it would be a wise move to mention it in this press release. Something along the lines of the money...

The JR is not concluded until the deadline for appeal has passed, so far every indication SISU have made is that they intend to appeal. So either SISU state that they won't be appealing or everyone just sits around waiting for the appeal deadline to pass to see what happens.

I'd be happy with a draw. I'm more concerned about working out who everyone is in our side!

Where are people saying they don't want a rental return to the Ricoh? In at least some of the offers made by ACL prior to SISU moving the club away the dropping of legal action was a requirement for any deal to be completed so nothing has really changed on that front has it? To me its very...

But offset that against lost revenues, legal fees etc. Every change to save £118,808 they've had to spend more than that.
