I think there's a lot more than a few egos in all of this.

Buying back the shares the club sold for 6m would not give us the revenue from 'pie money'.

Now if Messi or Ronaldo did that it would be great technique and world class right? It's no fluke Mousse hits them quite often and is a very good finisher. That's some hit though!

Feels like a win...a darn good result up there this season. There is such belief in the side and may that continue to the playoffs.

Can't help thinking there is a major problem with that figure of over 1m and yet just over 10% profit? But what do I know...I'm a moron :)

This is the toughest call this season tbf. Our current form and missing strikers with one on the verge of moving can't have helped the mood. But we have got impressive results this season. Pressley has certainly done well but has he rode his luck of late? last week it looked that way. I really...

I don't particularly want SISU to get their hands on the Ricoh. I want my football club to do that. If that means SISU for now then so be it.

I was going to let it go but you were the one spouting the insults and I don't believe I have done that at all have I? So the moron is you. I never said increased turnover automatically leads to more profitability. You said that. Just for the record I have and do run my own business and to...

Yes I understand that view but slightly missing the point. They would be selling it to the football club. You have to try and disassociate yourself from the current owners before you can see the point. Shmmee has made some reference to such thought above.

I have a close affinity with the Speedway team and over the decades have not ever thought of them as being other than a 'Coventry' based team. If a new stadium was built on the edge of Coventry, Ryton, Brandon, Exhall and the like then that to me is good enough. Heck some folks come a long way...

Shmmeee: I do not disagree with the view that a 99 year lease or something similar could not suffice the same. Value may be a little different and security of tenure and not to mention raising funds against it but yes in principle why not. Perhaps that is another area SISU would consider. Let...

You might want to ask yourselves who are ACL? The management company of the council and part owned by the said council.

Is this not the scenario ever present in supporting the Speedway team? I don't particularly get hung up on such geographical issues unless we were talking about way outside the city.

That's the point I'm making that so many are blinkered about...we need to support our club not in the terms of SISU but our club which will always have differing ownership and the 330,00 people of Coventry would also see that as common sense. Generations past and present are affected and our...

It's interesting that I'm a moron. Hmm let me see: two degrees, operated 5 businesses successfully, speak a foreign language fluently. Well that for starters. I'm not prone to any sort of boast but thought in this instance I should just set that record straight. So moron? I don't think so. As...

The key area in this is the 40 year ACL lease and what happens at the JR.

I think we would need to see the terms of the original 40 year lease before assuming anything.

So the OP is inferring a new stadium is not viable for our football club and we should simply consider paying rent only to play on a pitch at the Ricoh without any sharing of other monies generated there? And before you misleadingly talk of 'pie' money not helping, you as an accountant should...

Considering it.

A modular stadium is the way these days. MK Dons are doing it. The increase could be done during the close season. As for the practicality of the location and the cost scenario it is difficult to match them up. A lot would depend on the developers requirements and the council. Planning can be...
