Some probably thought that CCC were presenting ACL in a favourable light to be able up the value with the intent of selling up and getting out of the mess.

Did we have a sporting club that would have accepted the Wasps deal? As far as I recall, TF said that he would never have accepted the deal as it involved taking over a company with over 14m debt. Strange that SISU are now talking about a JR saying that the deal was advantageous to Wasps. Time...

I thought the council voted unanimously- which means there must have been a hell of a lot of personal agendas...

Everything - as far as I know - that Red Bull sponsors, seems to work ( money talks ). Red Bull has no football team in England,

As OSB says - in effect - why? Why dig all this up just for the point of it? Commercial advantage should be the only criterium for a hard nosed hedge fund. Ok, some on here would do it for the hell of it to show all parties up - if they had the money to blow. I cannot see Joy going the whole way...

How long was the lease at the time of the 5,5m?

RB Leipzig have come from being an amateur club 7 years ago to promotion to the Bundesliga playing to a packed Stadium - 42000 -in this promotion year. They don't own the stadium, but have a 10 year lease til 2020 and Red Bull own the stadium naming rights til 2040. It is a form of franchising...

Yes, and after the nasty Wasps had snapped up the white elephant, TF confirmed that Otium would not have accepted the Wasps deal because of the outstanding 14m. So why mess around with JR2 when your company thinks Wasps made a deal that wouldn't work?

Well at least we know where Grendel will be patrolling when he isn't on the Wasps' forum...,,

I am hardly ever on the Wasps forum. That's more your thing. The council doesn't interest me ( unless they are going to make Coventry more attractive, as I like to bring my family over now and again ). They are not even CCFC landlords anymore ( ok at a distance as leasors for the next 250 years...

Thanks. Have fun...

Yes, mine have gone as well.. and some others have only got the new likes since the change over....

When there is no football, then I don't have much choice... What is "this type"? Sarcastic? Snide? Smug? Provocative? or just to up the posts for Nick's site?

I suppose so, I tend to respond to smug sarcastic threads started by smug sarcastic people.... and then the follwers of the smug sarcastic one come to his rescue with more sarcasm....

Read my post.... there are plenty of references to CCFC ... or are you just trying to be sarcastic/ clever/ witty like the original poster...

I like the out of box idea too. I am convinced that the idea of the city centre is well out of date. It was created in the early 50s as one of the first ( if not the first ) centre designed around a pedestrian precinct. Those days there were no retail parks and most families didn't have a car to...

I think passion and desire increase when something you love is in danger or being put at possible risk. In this case, just when things are getting better we get reminded of the pointless side-show, intrigues and general cock-ups which have got CCFC into the present "misere". We are in a...

Has that been announced or are you speculating? I don't think it is obvious. If I were Joy, I would be very cautious about continuing with JR1. The CCFC investment has been a disaster for Joy's firm. She would not be where she is ( in general ) by not having made some good investments as well as...

Does a verdict being reached necessarily show the owners in a poor light? They thought they were right - as did Higg's with the expenses claim. They had a right to appeal. It turns out they were wrong. The important thing is the clarity of the decision - which should be welcomed by everyone (...
