You're looking at gross profit not net profit. For FFP (and other accounting and cash-flow reasons) you want to look at total income but for the bottom line you need to look at net profit. To give you an example at my place out gross profit was just short of 70% but net profit was only just...

I'm intrigued now, what did you have on that was classed as a SISU shirt?

That was always Mutton's point when he was leader of the council wasn't it. Although he never seemed to phrase it well and always made it sound confrontational. Unless I've misunderstood FFP it is based off revenues not profit so for Fisher and Sepalla to say in their open letter that 60p in...

2003-2007 according to Wiki, then Morecombe, Stockport and us.

I get what you're saying but ACL paid for them as part of the lease didn't they, just that we then sold our half on to Higgs.

It says worked at Southport, no idea if that's always been there a while or is new. It does say 'past: Coventry City' but there's no way he's moving down that far so at a guess he's tried to change something and not done it right, either that or he's had his contract terminated which would mean...

If they said tickets are going up £2 so we can come back I would have no problem with that. They could do something like have a tear off £2 pre paid voucher on the tickets then make a deal with Compass where they pay them back cost price for anything purchased using the vouchers. Would be more...

Good effort from everyone involved. Seeing reports saying the attendance is even higher than last year. Been following on twitter, someone should make sure Sepalla and Fisher see this tweet from Simon Gilbert Things like that really show why this needs to be sorted ASAP. I dread something...

Do we get any F&B at Sixfields? There was an interview with Cardoza, think it was in the local Northampton paper, about us playing there and he said Northampton wouldn't see any benefit from additional F&B as it would all go to the company who has the contract as Sixfields, their equivalent of...

Things like this just highlight what a bad job everyone who was batting before them did. If Anderson can bat like this why can't the specialist batsmen?

While the tone is much better than most things we have heard from SISU recently I have to be honest and say I struggle to take anything they say at face value. They've been caught out too many times being less than truthful and 'plan a' seems to change every 5 minutes. Also the timing, with the...

They got car parking spaces and corporate facilities as part of the old rent deal so it's not that. They obviously got ticket revenues, program money, merchandise etc so it could genuinely just be the much talked about pie money, what else is there besides catering that anyone spends money on...

You would take the 300K off the original debt / compensation amount given by the administrator then recalculate the 27p in the pound offer which would mean SISU owe around £510K. Not sure you can do that though. The 27p in the pound offer was never accepted so that figure of £590K doesn't...

The cricket team. To be honest I wasn't too disappointed with the football team, wasn't expecting them to get out the group and they didn't. The way the cricket team has collapsed in recent months is shocking. What odds that this pitch that is perfect for batting isn't so great when we have to...

Have you seen any solid evidence to show the money is in escrow? If it was the FL could issue a quick statement saying we are holding the money and will make a decision on what is owed. And if there is a dispute surely they need to speak to ACL and sort it out, should take about 5 minutes not...

I'm not sure many people who were owed that amount of money whilst at the same time had the company who owed it to them taking legal action would be waiting with arms open to do business again. Of course we would all love a statement from ACL that says come back, you can have the ground for free...

Wouldn't that put us right next to Bedworth United, sure they'd love that! Can see plenty of access issues if we still have any fans left by the time we move to a potential site there. Which bit is wasteland? Isn't it industrial units and then a park / woods behind it? I could be thinking of...

Exactly right Robo, if you want to own something it makes sense to table a bid to buy it! I suspect CCC would want the loan paid off as, with their track record for paying things on time, I can't imagine they will be happy being reliant on SISU making payments.

Would that not be down to negotiation between a prospective tenant and the council? I'm not sure you can make the assumption that every tenant will be given revenue access and if they are wouldn't it be factored into the rent charged? Look at the Ricoh currently, do companies putting on...

Its very very simple for the FL, just enforce their own rules regarding the location of member clubs. Tell our owners that Coventry City have to play in Coventry. That's not getting involved in any specific dispute as they are not saying it has to be the Ricoh.
