Struggling to survive financially, like every other football league club without a sugar daddy, whilst paying a very high rent. I appreciate it's ultimately mismanagement on the clubs behalf, but ACL must have considered this arrangement would risk the club's long term future, which has...

ACL sat by for 7 years as the club haemorrhaged money paying rent it could not afford. Then when the club is at breaking point and ask for negotiations (albeit with mixed intentions) they hold both hands up claiming absolute innocence. You can't tell me they did not see this coming. I know the...

Appreciate that Nene park is financially viable and available, but I don't think it makes a franchise anymore realistic. Wimbledon were getting attendances of about 4000, had no stadium and itv (on)digital had just reneged on the lucrative football league tv deal. This meant they would lose...

Hmmm you're just completely making that up to support your argument against fisher.

What point is that then? Just because those options seem unlikely doesn't mean a franchise becomes a viable option.

Curious as to people's reasons for believing the club will become a franchise and permanently move away from Coventry, mirroring the Wimbledon/MK Dons situations? I for one can't see any reason why that would benefit anyone, including SISU, so why do people keep saying it?

Non points though, Dudley is in the west midlands which is already saturated with successful football clubs. As for Croydon...Crystal Palace, and they struggle to get support. No new club would attract a large fan base in either Croydon or Dudley.

Don't understand why people think the club could become a franchise? SISU know the only long term option is to bring the club back to Coventry and they have never suggested anything different. It makes no sense for them to have any other aim. As for the suggestion that this is a carbon copy of...

He'll be hoping for a Championship club, his wage demands will certainly reflect that!

What utter shite, and absolute paranoia. If SISU, as you say, don't give a toss about the fans, why would they go to the effort of planting people on this forum? They couldn't give a flying fuck what is said on here. My stance is that whilst I don't support SISU (they have made many poor...

If SISU want to minimise loses, or turnover a small profit, then a return to Coventry is absolutely paramount. This isn't the MLS.

Stop fucking scaremongering, it's boring. Whilst I'm extremely disappointed and frankly embarrassed to be sharing a ground with Northampton, I will probably go to a few games a season. Until there is evidence to prove otherwise I'm treating it as a temporary move. 'RIP CCFC' is bollocks, we...

I still don't think we could happily play in the Ricoh for the next few seasons whilst building a new ground elsewhere in the city.

I still think the majority of footballers rule with their heart not their head, which still makes us an attractive proposition. If we can offer the same wages, then I think most players would still choose us, if only based on our history and fan base.

The fact we are Coventry City in the third division. If you're a third division standard player, you'd pick Coventry over most other clubs at that level regardless of the off the field matters.

SISU own Coventry City Football Club, they are inherently linked with us. If they own the stadium, then we own the stadium. If SISU owned half the stadium we would not pay rent, it'd be like transferring £100 from your savings account to your current account. Were they to ever sell the club...

are we secretly building this stadium? Would ACL offer such a rent deal if we were planning to leave the Ricoh in four or five seasons time?

Dongonzalos I take your point, and I agree it seems a pointless venture when there is a world class stadium already in the city. However, I don't believe ACL want to sell their share in the stadium, at least not at a reasonable price, and SISU do not want to enter into a rental agreement. It's...

I cannot, this is my opinion.
