So are they actually paying to sponsor us as that makes it sound like they've given us some freebies in return for having their name on the (away) shirt. Hope it's just the way the article has been phrased.

It popped up on my news feed, no reason or need to keep looking at his profile.

Baker on his facebook profile.

So now it is being said that the lack of a squad number for Baker was a misunderstanding. Not sure if I'm convinced by that, mistakes do happen but surely as soon as it came to light and was getting publicity a quick we've ballsed up and he should have had a number statement shouldn't take too...

There was a very obvious reason ACL made the offer via the FL. At the time they had been making offers to SISU yet SISU were claiming they hadn't received them. Given the timing of the offer made via the FL I suspect it was an attempt by ACL to show the FL that the option of having us playing in...

That's Thursday, we haven't had a bad news Thursday in a while.

what was the date of the FL meeting when they were going to make a decision on the £590K, can't be far off now.

Can think of a few people on here this applies to!

I'm not sure that the issue people have is with the fact Baker might be gone so much as the way it's been handled. Last season when there were rumours of other clubs sniffing around after him SP was very clear that he didn't want Baker to leave and he was integral to the team. In the off season...

So Fisher says both sides need to accept that situation is over yet they will be appealing. How can ACL accept the situation is over if SISU are still dragging them to court again? I don't understand the logic of we lost so badly we have to appeal. Doesn't an appeal make more sense if its a...

So lets say this study is done, firstly who is paying for it? To do it properly is a pretty complex task. It's not just a case of assessing the money lost by businesses close to the Ricoh you have to study where that money is now being spent so you can have the full picture. For example if...

Don't think the rates have been released publically but they have stated they are making a profit so they must be receiving more than they are borrowing, how else would they make a profit?

I thought the money for the ACL loan came from a different source not out of CCC funds, is that not correct?

Come on shmmeee, everyone knows that Compass working for AEG would bring in millions more than Compass' own joint venture company. It must be true Tim Fisher told us.

To be fair the club do have a habit of releasing statements when they manage to do a task that for other clubs would be routine.

What shocking news, it's so unlike them!

That would be an obvious plus but is it achievable? I would imagine the whole point behind the creation of IEC and partnering with Compass is they can operate at a much lower cost than if ACL, or in the future the club, operated themselves. Should that not increase the margin?

at some point the lower league teams will start going out of business one after the other and / or not be able to afford to develop youngsters to the required level. What then? There will be just the premier league teams left who can't develop their own youngsters. Their answer will be to rely...

That's great but the FL don't have to do that. All they have to do is enforce their own rules and say Coventry City must play in Coventry. Doing that doesn't say they have to play at the Ricoh, that may be the only available ground up to league standard but that's hardly the fault of the FL and...

a paying customer is a paying customer. everyone keeps banging on about the stadium never being used but that's now two tenants they've got in. better for them than it not being used surely? as we're not playing there the only real issue is if this causes a problem should we decide we want to...
