    Ricoh Arena 'very profitable' even without Sky Blues

    Business make budgets based on what they are expecting to happen. They were expecting £1.3m in rent from CCFC, when they stopped paying of course that caused issues. The whole point of the swap to the lower rate loan as well as the internal restructuring (including losing some of the highest...

    SISU/Otium to sell to Byng & the Chinese ???

    this is what I don't get. whenever he makes a comment he seems to be massively over complicating things. Make a deal to buy everything SISU has and make a deal to buy ACL. If he can't grasp this concept then there's not much hope with him really is there.

    Leon Clarke - Swindon after him

    Had to check on the club website, hard to tell which statements are people taking the piss and which are genuine these days!

    Anyone hear Ann Lucas's interview on Cwr ???

    Is this just a meeting she's trying to arrange that nobody will turn up to or is this something that is actually likely to happen?

    Live Sky Game vs Sheffield UTD

    problem is most FL games on Sky have loads of empty stands, just saying don't turn up won't look any different to many games on sky.

    Can the Ricoh

    If a serious buyer suggested that I would guess it would be considered. Obviously there would have to be some definition of who has what as some areas are currently used by both the stadium and the exhibition hall. Don't think SISU would be interested in that in the slightest.

    Just thought I'd ask a quiz question

    Peterborogh were paying the council £500K, has been dropped to £300K for 12 months but will go back up to £380K the following year and then £430K after that. 15K capacity ground build in 1934. Looking at that I'd say even at £1.2m the Rioch rent doesn't look too bad. If either of the other...

    Nopm

    But you're forgetting that Fisher assured us the lower revenues wouldn't have an impact as SISU would cover the losses.

    Where will you be on Sunday?

    do that at the Sheff Utd match when Sky will be there. people aren't going to go to Northampton every week to stand on the hill so might as well make it when the cameras will be there

    Just thought I'd ask a quiz question

    if the offers we're hearing about aren't true why doesn't Fisher come out and say we've never been offered that, if ACL will offer that we'll accept. Or he could just say what they would accept. He won't because he's not going to come out and say the only deal they'll accept is ownership of the...

    Leyton Orient Match Thread

    It's starting to get a bit suspicious, not saying CWR are up to anything dodgy but you struggle to find more than a handful of people who are pro SISU. I didn't speak to anyone on Saturday who was, thousands of people were on the march and no bugger is buying tickets for northampton so why are...

    Just thought I'd ask a quiz question

    why only those clubs? are they the only clubs in the country who have been offered a better deal than SISU, that would seem to indicate that the vast majority of clubs have a worse deal than was offered to SISU.

    The Bomb Squad

    surely a better way to reduce the wage bill would be to have them playing and training so someone might actually sign them?

    Just thought I'd ask a quiz question

    Aren't some of those old grounds that got sold back to the council for next to nothing? Looking at the details of the deal PBoro announced recently with their council SISU should be snapping ACLs hand off with an offer of £400K a year.

    if you want to get conspiracy theory do they get paid an appearance fee if they come on?

    Leyton Orient Match Thread

    I'm not convinced the bomb squad is down to him. I can see why he would want to get rid of most of them, not least FFP reasons but if he's really insisting on not even considering Edge when we've only got 1 central defender he must be mental.

    Leyton Orient Match Thread

    never thought i'd be saying this but we could do with a player like him. we've got no bite in midfield and with the central defence we've got the last thing we need is players running through the middle all the time.

    Best game you've ever been too

    it was pissing it down that day as well, remember we were standing behind the goal on an open terrace and they kept pushing kick off back as it was on the TV and news of Mandelas release was breaking.

    Anyone hear Ann Lucas's interview on Cwr ???

    why is it in the interest of the city to retain ownership? it's not like it's making a huge profit to fund additional services / cut council tax bills. surely anyone who owned it would want it to be successful so it's not like, assuming they are responsible owners unlike SISU, it will suddenly...
