You are assuming that Sisu would unite the club with the stadium were they to get their hands on it.

He also said he sought assurances from the owner but didn't get them.

Did you see my piece on the Doncaster deal? Fourth post down on this page: http://www.skybluestalk.co.uk/threads/24428-Thanks-Doncaster/page4

Thank you for your insights once again OSB. It makes much more interesting and enlightening reading than the insults flying around today.

“I spoke to the owner, I sought assurances and didn’t get any assurances from the owner of Coventry,” he said as he was unveiled today as the Terrier’s fifth manager in as many years. “I absolutely wish them all the best, they work their socks off and as I’ve said before that club needs support...

Go on then Mr Fisher, if you have the money, build us a new stadium. The club will be reunited with a ground it can call its own and ACL will be free to seek other users who may actually pay something to use the Ricoh. Everyone's a winner! But I won't hold my breath that you'll actually do...

He might want to pay some rent if he hopes to stay that long...

Aye, it all seems to make more sense now.

I don't think I have ever slagged off Andy Turner. He may or may not be on the money this time but I suspect he might know a bit more than most of us. Like I have said the figures were a simple guess based on the five-figure/six-figure confusion. And as I said in the OP I might well be...

What if ACL has come to the conclusion, based on talks, that Sisu has no intention of paying the unpaid rent and isn't budging on paying rent going forward? Could the threat of winding up be raised to try to focus minds? Or would a simple eviction notice achieve the same focus?

I believe you. What Andy Turner wrote just got me thinking about the "five-figure" sum and whether it might not be a get out clause but just the sum needed to buy out the whole contract. I don't know the sums involved - I said it was a guess - but I feel fairly confident in predicting that, as...

Only a five-figure sum, according to later reports.

Ah, so Huddersfield is a smaller club than Wanderers FC... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wanderers_F.C. :facepalm:

To be clear Pete, Turner provided the bit in quote marks. I plucked the figures. I sense you disagree with my guess work?! :)

Interesting piece by Andy Turner in the CET (http://www.coventrytelegraph.net/coventry-city-fc/coventry-city-fc-news/2013/02/14/sky-blue-thinking-farewell-mark-whatshisname-92746-32808095/) in which he says: "Not even possessing a company car at City, Robins is understood to have been on an...

Maybe the blood transfusion took longer than anticipated...

I was wondering why the announcement that Robins was going to Huddersfield had been delayed. Makes sense now.

I was just looking at him Wingy. Not got a long record to go on (see below from Wikipedia), but he was born in Coventry and Fleetwood are pushing for promotion... (we're must still be bigger than Fleetwood, surely???!!!) Preston North End 14 December 2011 16 January 2012 5 2 2 1 40.00...

“There are new candidates out there now because of the nature of football and, because we are in a much stronger position than we were in August, it makes the job of Coventry City manager an even more attractive proposition." Adkins, Grayson and Westley? AKA The Good, The Not Too Bad and the...

Bump... This seems kind of appropriate right now. It is only a few seasons old, but there's so much happened since then that the person who created must have enough material for a sequel by now! The above link in an easier to access format: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j-gONoWwlV8
