    Part from Paul Fletcher's Book

    The club or BR found a deal whereby spend 20m + 12m decontaminating they will get a 60m return from Tesco. The club then agrees to enter a 50-50 deal with CCC sharing the above deal. Rather than getting a loan for their share of the land deal (16m) which would have cemented 50% ownership of...

    Part from Paul Fletcher's Book

    Where does the article state that CCFC bought the land? What I don't know is if there is any truth behind CCC buying the land on behalf of CCFC or not and splitting the difference... but it does seem that this is ultimately where the landlord & tenant arrangement begins to take place....

    Ricoh arena won't be sold without debt attached

    This is the thing with leasehold/freehold. Longer the lease the lower the value of the freehold... so yeah they probably could buy the encumbered freehold quite cheaply... they would just have to wait 40 years to get their hands on the stadium...

    Get City back to Coventry

    Quite right.... I really do think it is time for the two sides to sit down; New Year, clean slate and figure out what is feasible and what is not. It is illogical for ACL to have a stadium with any tenant other than CCFC - they will make peanuts from such an arrangement, so logically a deal is...

    Get City back to Coventry

    In the grand scheme of things, you would hope that the renting of the hotel rooms on matchdays would be something that the two sides would be able to meet on if the business was split... Hotel rooms all booked at corporate rates on the days of the games. Seems like a win win.

    Get City back to Coventry

    Heres how I would resolve: 1) ACL split their lease into stadium & arena 2) CCC buy the stadium lease back from ACL - reducing the mortgage and making ACL viable with Arena only 3) CCFC buy a new stadium-only lease from CCC for at least (2) above Then everything else the OP said. This way...

    Coventry City: Council 'open to Ricoh Arena freehold bids'

    Unencumbered is the key word here. The freehold with ACL having a 40 year lease is worth considerably less than the freehold with no ACL. Of course the council would sell the freehold without selling ACL... they would make Sisu wait for 40 years to get their hands on the place!

    Lost for words (arsenal tickets)

    No the general sales allocation is 2 per person/account. In actual fact the MK dons game doesn't matter as it is general sale from Friday. Thursday to anyone that has bought home games or FA cup tickets - but not away league games (at least that is how I read it). If you need 6 tickets just...

    Lost for words (arsenal tickets)

    Pretty sure it will be 4 as long as you selected the other persons name from the drop down when buying. I tried it out with a friends account and if you haven't got allocation then it doesn't let you buy (for eg I tried with Wolves games which I can buy for atm but with friends account he...

    Lost for words (arsenal tickets)

    you don't think this is the club smirking at the away fans that don't goto SFs? It is clear that all the stay away fans have been picking and choosing their away games to go and support the lads, so it seems fairly logical to me that we would have at least sold out the initial allocation. But...

    Clarke deal could be off

    If he wants a run out against Arsenal to showcase his potential to the wide audience I would suggest he would be mad not to... So just because he wants out we should let him go for "exactly" what he is worth... hell no and good on the club for once...

    Significant Council announcement on Ricoh coming

    No what she should have said was that this also included supporting any sensible planning application within the city boundaries also.... that really would have called their bluff.... this statement was absolutely nothing new once again.

    Significant Council announcement on Ricoh coming

    For the love of god... save the tree. I don't know which tree it is, but I had a message about it. "We have started a tree group"... my god it is like waiting for paint to dry.

    Significant Council announcement on Ricoh coming

    which is exactly what they said last year... so do it then - or perhaps they cant as there isn't any other tenants that are of any real use to them...

    Significant Council announcement on Ricoh coming

    Simon Gilbert ‏@TheSimonGilbert 3m It could be a while until that Ricoh statement is in the public domain. It's item 20 on the agenda and they're only on 11 after an hour.
