    if the Ricoh generates £5m a year profit....

    Yes I don't disagree with your view but maybe you are not thinking beyond the box? ACL were indeed set up by the council as the body to operate the stadia. Like any lease if the freehold is sold you have a new landlord. The new landlord would give legal notice to ACL that the lease was ending...

    if the Ricoh generates £5m a year profit....

    If we owned the stadia and all rights in and around it then new hotels, shops, restaurants etc will be paying us for leasehold premises. That's a major income stream that generates all year round. ACL are a set up purely by the council to operate the arena. (the council can not do this by law...

    if the Ricoh generates £5m a year profit....

    ....is it a no brainer for an investment group to buy it up freehold with the football club as part of the deal? The stadium cost £110m or there about's. some of that has since been written off by various groups involved previously so how much do the council want for it freehold exactly...

    The next few results and AT

    So we lose narrowly to Scunny fighting for their lives as our recent confidence gets the better of us and we are beaten at high flying Norwich and Mowbray's Boro' grab a 1-0 over us plus Reading grab promotion on the last day with victory at the Ricoh. Would you then change your mind about...

    City to play part in promotion & relegation?

    A glance at the fixtures makes juicy reading and games that have meaning right to the end of season which makes a change.

    They're at it again! £12.50 tickets for Reading!

    Good news indeed...I'll bring the family!

    Clarke. again!

    That's a very good observation also. I think AT has difficulty in selection....

    Scunthorpe and Reading still to come

    One fighting for their lives and in touch with a graet escape after todays win at Palace. The other could be here looking for a win to get the second automatic spot! Think in between we better get some more results! Glad we got one today! Not sure why that reads Scunthorpe like that?

    Clarke. again!

    It could so easily had been different today. could not understand why AT would play Clarke at right back and Keogh in the middle who has been instrumental in assist and crosses for our good performances as attacking wing back lately. Wood was available. So even AT can make the obvious mistakes...

    Hoffman bid rumours

    this is interesting and sounds like there is something in this. I would expect that Hoffman's connections financially and RR 's connections it would not be so difficult to get 30k+ and arrange a deal with the council for the stadium set over a period of years with immediate and total rights...

    Marlon King

    Lets not go there. I'm celebrating the fact he has scored 11 now and missed most the season with his very late arrival and suspensions . For that I thank AB's persistence. Easily our best player and I really hope we get to sign him on for next year. he owes us and we can reward him and do...

    Poll: Player of the year

    Would only be fair to say a player who has been most present and most consistant. can only be Westwood.

    Kevin Phillips

    derbyskyblue there is a good point for what you say but I also feel now that with our squad what it is - mostly young then bringing in an old hand no matter how good he could be will be more disruptive than respectful to the players we have making them feel less valued.

    Kevin Phillips

    I can't agree anymore with this sentiment. KP is at 38 next season well on his way to a slippery slope especially if asked to play 46+ games! We have a very good and fast improving striker in the Juke and I would not swap him for KP. As long as Marlon stays we can dismiss talk of the likes of...

    Ricoh or Highfield Road

    The old days of standing on the Spion Kop were treasured as a kid with me scarf and rattle and a real 'up the old five' atmosphere! Sadly that changed and today's kids will never experience that kind of 'feel' for the game of football. But in all honesty we now have a great stadium (though not...

    Richard Shaw

    This is great. A legend for being a good player for this club for a decade or so but he is still cutting teeth and as with mark Robins looks suspiciously like agent work keeping his profile up and maybe hoping for a call as an assistant at best. Expect more of the same between now and the...

    Mark Robins

    More interesting was the comment in that article that states RR is trying to wrestle back control of Coventry from SISU? Just where do they get their information from - last years Christmas crackers? Mark Robins? How are Barnsley doing exactly? This is good PR by an agent nothing more. There...

    Ancelotti to go...

    I see he is to go at the end of the season. Will Chelsea get an English manager? If not who will the Abramovich millions go after?
