I know that, you know that. Labovich, Fisher and the FL all seem to think otherwise.

Let's just assume for a minute that SISU do intend to build a new stadium in the next 3 - 5 years. That leaves them with 2 options: 1) play at the Ricoh for free this season and £150K a year after that until new stadium is ready. Crowds would be a minimum of 10K, probably more with the way we...

Well if that's true what's everyone moaning about! It's those extra 3.8 miles that I was upset about.

I suspect you would struggle to find any other examples of a football club going into administration being followed by the revaluation the football club employees no players and only deals in property!

I like the Emirates, think Arsenal have done a good job of making a new bowl stadium feel like home. That said a lot of what they've done could be replicated at the Ricoh. Things like the flags with former players on lampposts approaching the ground, the building wraps and similar could easily...

Lets say this happened and Sky Blues candidates won all the seats and control of the council, what exactly would you want them to do? Give SISU the stadium for nothing? Pay tens of millions in compensation to cancel all the contracts so SISU can buy the freehold unencumbered?

That's the reason everyone, except SISU it seems, knows that pushing the freehold is pointless. They need to purchase ACL. Higgs agreed to sell their 50% for £5m but SISU didn't complete the deal. Even if the new ground comes in on budget of £25m they could offer CCC £20m for their share...

The message from the council seems very clear to me. They are happy to listen to reasonable offers for their share in ACL, they are happy to listen to offers for the encumbered freehold. As it is virtually impossible for them to offer the unencumbered freehold that is not for sale. It's been a...

My understanding, from speaking about this to an HMRC officer when one of my companies was being audited, is that the policy is HMRC reject automatically when the football creditors rule is involved to give others preference over HMRC which wasn't the case with our CVA.

She definitely said the unfettered freehold was not for sale. Didn't specifically say the freehold was for sale with the existing lease in place but by specifically saying unfettered wasn't for sale implies it is but as we all know owning the freehold is not beneficial from a CCFC point of view.

Of course if SISU had paid what was owed there would have been no administration and no points deductions so maybe the better question is was not having to pay the owed rent / breaking the lease worth missing the play offs for?

protest was shown on the ITV highlights show last night as well.

Couple of pissed up blokes ran on the pitch. That's all I remember happening.

You'd have to purchase several parts to end up owning the whole thing. To get the leasehold you'd have to buy out Higgs, around £5m would do that if they offer the same deal they did to SISU. If it was me I would offer the council £14m to repay the loan in exchange for their share as a starting...

Isn't this how we ended up with SISU? We were told there wouldn't be anyone else interested so everyone should hand their shares over for nothing. Of course there's a risk there may be no potential buyers but surely in a worst case scenario a consortium of local businesses could take over, fair...

Interesting point. Lets say there were breaking the law who would be the ones to take action, companies house? Wonder what their defence would be, they can't really come out and say we're trying to bankrupt another company causing taxpayers and a charity to lose money!

Certainly didn't turn them against us, as he was being led away in front of the home supporters they gave him a standing ovation and clapped him.

Buyers pulled out so still 1 ticket available at face value.

I was proper excited when we signed him. Seemed like we'd been after him for years and everyone kept on he was going to be amazing. Shame injuries got the worst of him. Was fun when he came on against Bournemouth after he'd been out for months, signing "we thought you were dead" and cheering...

Gone now, Chapman has one going as well which is still available.
