I thought ACL were told by Appleton that these conditions couldn't be considered as terms of the CVA, not that SISU rejected them. They, SISU, could have course offer to agree to the terms at another meeting - therefore allowing the CVA to go ahead. They didn't and so the 10 points went down the...

Who accepted the extortionate rent deal? Who claimed that the Ricoh tenant - CCFC Ltd - was a property company in order to get out of paying the agreed rent? This claim was one reason CCC ( ACL ) wanted to get at the truth by not accepting the CVA. It hasn't got them far as at the moment, but I...

Why? If ACL, or a future purchaser of ACL, repay the lohn, the taxpayer makes a small profit. If it is given away on the cheap, the taxpayer has lost a potential source of revenue, or sale at a better price for ever. The big mistake was CCC getting involved in the first place by saving the...

I thought the thread was about the judicial review. The lohn is debt and is being repaid. So we can only deal with the facts of today. There is - apparently - no sign of imminent collapse. The good old taxpayer, however, would pick up the bill - or rather lose an asset - if the Ricoh were to be...

Are we talking about the lohn of GBP 14m? I didn't know it was for sale.

What was the market value? The monies owed plus interest? Or the value of ACL when pushed to the abys of insolvency by a rapacious hedge fund? Should the council have assisted ACL's downfall to force the YB to take what they could get and not what they were owed, therefore deliberately ripping...

Would it justify a JR to let SISU ( or their companies ) have an "unencumbered freehold" of the Ricoh in order to get the City football team back to Coventry? Should CCFC end up outside of the city boundary is there a case to insist on a rebranding of CCFC? The owners seem to be maligning the...

Maybe SISU just want to keep it going win or lose. CCC is effectively gagged as they daren't open their mouths for fear of giving SISU some evidence. SISU can tell their investors that their investment still has a chance of a pay off, thus winning time and avoiding a panic which would be caused...

The product is football, so I think origin doesn't count. My argument would be that SISU are publicly discrediting the city council e.g. JS says you cannot work with them (CCC), ML that ACL is "rapacious" although they have tried to offer lower rents, TF that too much has gone on and SISU (...

One question. There is discussion at the moment about "rebranding" - e.g. MK Dons as opposed to Wimbledon, Hull Tigers as opposed to Hull City. The fans don't want Hull Tigers. Looking from the other direction. Can the City of Coventry ask the League or FA to force a change of name from...

To me it seems stranger and stranger. We have now got someone working to bring a Coventry Flair into the design of a none existant stadium. Seems a bit premature when all we have so far are delays and problems finding a site for a small stadium in a village or small town somewhere near here (...

Hook, line and sinker…..

The whole point of being a sports club in a league is to acheive sporting success. Or at least it was… If you restrict the stadium size, you are admitting that we are where we are and we will never rise again. This may be true, but that is not the point. The dream must be there that things can...

Due diligence is done before you purchase a company. You check out such things as liabilities e.g. rent contracts - how much do they cost, how long is the rental contract etc.. You don't normally go on to take on the rental contract and then five years later say " it's bleeding me dry " what am...

She has all the qualifications SISU need. She owns a solicitors firm.

I have written to squeaky bottom and asked that his clients use their right of reply with the Guardian and that they inform the general public of what is inaccurate or misleading in the article. That would be the right way of going about things.

SISU have a right of reply as far as I know. Use it. Besides, would it not be a good move for SISU to post on here the "truth" and therefore the reasons for potential litigation? We would all then see how biased the Guardian is and SISU would win some friends. I won't be holding my breath for...

Do we know that it is over 40 years? Do we know what rate ARVO are charging for keeping CCFC alive throughout the Northampton phase? It would be good to know who is more rapacious - our owners or our council and charity? I would go for a hedge fund specialising in battering creditors in court...

Firstly SISU didn't pay the rent for a long time. They took over a rental agreement when they bought the club. They should have renegotiated the rental deal at that time when they were the only viable purchasers. ACL did what any company would have done when faced with a tennant who refuses to...

Who else is threatening to sue fans? How many rapacious owners are trying to get a Coventry stadium on the cheap? Who else signed ( took over ) a rental agreement that they now don't like? I see only only one party as the main culprit. It's up to you if you go to Sixfields, but I respect the...
