We obviously haven't moved on from the Ricoh as SISU keep claiming as they won't bloody shut up about it at the moment! Maybe the Sky reporter should have brought up the response ACL gave to SBT, that they were happy to draw a line under everything and restart negotiations. He says every club...

Claus Jorgensen tweeted this pic a couple of days ago, looks in great condition.

There's a big difference at least between what Pompey did and our situation. They got the club for basically nothing. They had to agree to using future parachute payments to cover salaries owed to former players (not paying full salaries either, they've all been knocked down massively). Their...

I don't believe she has been told that but if it was me in charge I would go full steam ahead and if the council then used their veto I'd be onto the Telegraph and CWR like a shot to make sure everyone knew what the council had done and place all the blame for any future problems at the club at...

That's fair enough if that's your view but I really struggle to believe that at this stage any other option than SISU could leave us worse off. Personally I don't believe the new stadium will be built and even if it is I don't believe we'll own it. As far as I'm concerned we're enduring a slow...

How is it inaccurate? We ran out of money before a brick was laid, the council took over the project and completed it and CCFC were given a 50% stake in ACL which they then sold on! Who cares what deal Swansea have? People have over and over again given examples of other clubs who have worse...

Not sure what you're getting at here, are you implying that every single other bid made when we were in administration was some sort of false bid that would have never been followed through or that all those bidders would have been worse custodians of the club than SISU? Isn't this the argument...

Didn't our council give us a half share of the management company which we then sold on?

Not really, Joy says they were told the council wouldn't approve the deal yet PWKH says the council have never been asked. It was SkyBlueScottie who refereed to a veto, Joy and PWKH didn't mention it getting that far.

Did the council actually use their power of veto? Someone isn't telling the truth so I guess it's down to if you believe Sepalla or PWKH. Given the track record of the two of them and the type of organisation they represent I would tend to believe PWKH over Sepalla but without any documentary...

If it was at Warwick Uni would a retail park be viable? Canon Park already exists and doesn't seem to do a roaring trade apart from Tesco, surely if there's a demand for a larger store there Tesco will expand the existing Canon Park store. IMO Warwick Uni is a poor location for a big box retail...

The best thing for Les to do would be publish a full transcript of the interview. at the moment we don't know what he did ask and wasn't answered or what he pushed Joy on but couldn't get further details. You're never going to get that level of detail in an article for a paper like the...

1. Coventry City Football Club

why does the extra income have to come through the stadium side of the complex? Let's use the 400K rent figure as a benchmark, potentially every weekend in the football season has been opened up - there would be a lot of people who wouldn't have wanted to book an event for fear of clashing with...

it's hard to say what would be the best option for the stadium / ACL without digging deep into ACLs accounts and projections but I don't think it's wise for SISU or anyone else to assume that without CCFC there is a major problem ahead for the Ricoh. ACL have offered SISU rent of 400K and...

What makes you say that? Other companies work very well with ACL, people I speak to regarding the music side of things speak very highly of them, if fact they've just been nominated (alongside Wembley and Emirates) as Best Stadium Venue Teamwork in the liveuk music awards - the industry awards...

Negative for me, was hoping for more really. A business case for SISUs plans or even some bombshell against the council, with evidence of course, that would change things but it all seems a bit same old same old. Most disappointing is that there seems no chance of a return with SISU being...

This is it isn't it. If there was any sign that this was a genuine attempt to try and turn things around and leave us better I think the majority of supporters would get behind it but there just doesn't seem to be a case that this is a way forward that's going to do anything but damage.

But why do people assume the club and ground will be united, or that money made through development of the ground would find it way back to the club, this has not been stated anywhere that I know of. I'll try and make it clearer. Lets say the council hand SISU the Ricoh for nothing. SISU set up...

Of course they can't but on more than one occasion in the last couple of years I've wished I could. Being a football supporter is supposed to, at least occasionally, be an enjoyable experience but for us it just seems to be one thing after another. Every time you think it's bottomed out and...
