The problem with that is that SISU were attempting to distress ACL in order to panic Yorkshire Bank into selling them the mortgage at less than its value. Had SISU been paying the rent is there any chance that YB would have even considered selling the mortgage for a third of it's value? Come to...

SISU attempted to distress ACL, that much is clear to most people apart from a few who just refuse to look at the facts. They illegally withheld rent, as proven in court and in the initial JR hearing Justice Males stated "The alternatives would appear to have been either the insolvency of ACL...

But weren't they claiming that they had, with the council, come up with a plan to falsely give YB the impression that ACL were in financial problems so they could buy the mortgage from them on the cheap. Surely that law, if it exists would apply there.

They aren't a Northampton team, they aren't even a team in the real sense. They are a very expensive football academy using the Ricoh as it will be a good selling point for them.

Do Sphinx want to ply there? If they do and they have been told it's not possible then you have a point, otherwise you're complaining about someone not playing there who doesn't actually want to play there. What do you want ACL to do, threaten to take them to court unless they come and play at...

For all we know there may not even be a requirement for any stewards. The only people likely to be attending are parents and scouts, how many stewards can you possibly need for that?

So are you suggesting they franchise in a premier league team? Unless they do that how are they going to get someone of that level in? Seems sensible to me to take any bookings they can, better than it being sat there empty. Not sure what makes that comedy gold. Seeing as SISU won't even...

Have Sphinx given any indication they want to move to the Ricoh?

Why would there be a problem with anyone who wants to hire the Ricoh so long as they can pay whatever ACL are charging for hire? Or would you rather ACL turned down business and it just sat there not being used? I'm sure if I said to the FA I wanted to hire Wembley I could so long as I could...

With a deal like this where he's on loan until the end of the season then out of contract does something get put in place so we get first option on a permanent contract?

What's it got to do with Coventry City? We don't play there so it has zero impact on the team or our fans. If we get to a point where SISU come to their senses and want to move back only to be told we can't as this lot are now using the ground then its time to complain. Should we start a...

It costs £20K a season to join FootballCV so you would imagine they can afford to pay a hire fee for the Ricoh. Nothing gives any indication that ACL are losing money on this other than a few of the regulars on here trying to imply it's the case.

They also do their training at St George's Park, who pays for that? Unless you're suggesting ACL are making a loss on this then who cares.

That's all well and good but have either of those teams expressed a desire to play there and if they have is there anything to suggest they have approached ACL and been told it's not possible?

What does it matter what they are paying unless you are stating ACL are taking a loss on this. In which case is there any evidence to back that up?

Why is it laughable? I've seen nothing that says ACL are taking a loss on this so we can sumarise this as ACL taking on a new customer from whom they will make a profit. Not sure what business school you went to but that's generally not regarded as laughable and actually is the aim of most...

Who cares. I can't imagine ACL were going round courting them, its more likley they've seen a great facility lying empty and thought it would be a good selling point for their academy if they said they played at the Ricoh. It's not going to impact on CCFC in any way so why are people getting...

I had tickets for that game, was at my folks in Coventry and they convinced me there was no chance of the game being on and to head back home before the weather got too bad. Ended up just about being able to listen to the game on CWR stuck in the snow at the M40 turning for the A34. Took me...

After the constant we are debt free from Ranson I recall Fisher assuring us at the fans forum (not the last lot, the one before that) that SISU had converted all the money they'd put in to equity, seems he wasn't telling the truth that day either!

Think a lot will depend on what happens at the end of the season. He's bound to be in demand so will at the very least want to see some sign of ambition from SISU, more than likley with some assurances about a return to Coventry. If he doesn't get that who would blame him, or any of the...
