Strikes me that these people want it all their own way. SISU and ACL are as bad as each other. If you support SISU's stance you are crazy so say a majority on here. I would say the same should be applied to ACL support. But where does that leave us the supporters watching our club get...

Thanks for the clarification. Just one small point though. A 'rolling' lease can only begin after the initial 'fixed' term expires surely? A 10 year fixed term ending would then become a rolling lease? Also in a lease there is usually a clause mentioning terms to quit? This could be very...

Tommy I think we are at cross purposes. You are reading what you want to see not what I'm saying. I suggest you read it all again fella!

I think the OP is suggesting if it actually happened not whether you think it will or not.

Hoffman's offer had nothing to do about going to Northampton. It was an offer to pay the rent at the Ricoh in a misguided attempt at thinking it was merely about the rent money. It's never just been about the rent money alone. The offer was basically a loan with conditions that stipulated the...

Yes of course. If that's where Coventry City were playing. I hope they are playing at the Ricoh but if it transpires not to be then a new stadium in Coventry will do fine.

I think there is lots of leaps into the dark here. I can't see quite how you can firmly suggest SISU won't stop trying to distress ACL because they want the Ricoh arena? I think it's more complex than that. The deal offered now is not as easy and as good as it looks. However with the F&B added...

It doesn't. This is a deal to have them realise an exit strategy surely? 10 year lease n the Ricoh adds value to the sale of the football club especially with such peppercorn style rent. ACL will hope they take it and they sell up in a season or two. If not they know that such low rent is likely...

To my mind ACL are giving as best they will to entice SISU to leave by an assignable lease over 10 years. Enough to add value to the football club as a going concern and therefore perhaps with a season or two SISU can be instrumental in getting back to the championship, offer the business for...

Not sure about this. 10 year assignable lease gives SISU the asset they need to quickly get out of town perhaps?

Funny how time eventually runs out and the crunch moment inevitably arises.

If this is true then I'm not at all surprised. I expect ACL will sign the agreement in the end but time perhaps for Ms Joy and Ms Lucas to put there 10 pennyworth in first and have a handshake before ACL are instructed to agree. We will play at Sixfields this week and Ricoh will be readied for...

...you won't get your club back. It will be gone. Tell what evidence do you have that SISU as owners of the football club and operators of CCFC (Ltd) have done anything illegal? So everything SISU do is a bluff? Like we won't be playing at Northampton? In your eyes then ACL/council have done...

Jesus are we not in the abyss already? Is there any further to go? I suggest some of you wake up. Calling for investigations into SISU is astounding me. Who do you think pays for that? You really think (and I can't think why or how) that SISU have made criminal decisions over a pathetic football...

Otis they are not going to ever get 10,000 at Northampton and by saying they will fund the gap while away suggest the term is short and they did not expect any large support 35 miles away. So logic says they will return to the Coventry area asap. OK so where? Currently according to the press...

I put my view on this dadgag on plenty of post previously. To answer you with my opinion on that very question: Short term ACL need to do a deal to entice the SISU owned football club back to the Ricoh for the foreseeable future. Sign the CVA. This season maybe even rent free with match day...

My feelings are with Coventry City F.C. The one that won the FA Cup in '87 and the one I will support until it dies or I die. Owners as despicable as the ones we have currently will come and go. Survival and not total destruction and liquidation is uppermost in my thoughts. I don't take any...

The thing is not going to Northampton will make no impact other than maybe effect the very results you are hoping for from success on the pitch by giving your backing to the players? This picky "I'll go to away games but won't give them a penny" just strikes me as hypocritical. You are telling...

I guess an investigation if ever carried out on SISU's ownership and paper trails may be damaging but does anyone truly think they have acted unlawfully? Rules are bent and misshaped continuously by companies to their benefit but usually within the law. I don't think they will discover...

I have no idea why you would think like that.
