The way I look at it is this. Sisu have shown they invest money into areas that they have absolutely no knowledge. £50m lost in CCFC is evidence of that. Now, what evidence is there that Sisu know how to make a return on a football ground? If I had £30m lying around I wouldn't entrust to...

Obviously working with sick children etc is a good thing and I am not criticising them for that. But I am talking about making the club part of the city. The club should be a Coventry institution. You shouldn't be able to go anywhere in the city and not see something connected to them. I think...

The stadium management company paid a £21m premium to the freehold owner.

Woolwich Arsenal?

Get involved in the cities major events. What presence do they have at the Godiva Festival for instance?

Fair enough, I don't disagree with any of that.

Well the stadium management company gets to keep all the income streams apparently, so what income will the stadium owner receive?

I want them to show their pride in being COVENTRY City. Why wouldn't you want that?

So when it comes to selling the club, presumably the stadium owner will be sold alongside the SBS&L group. So any potential future owner will have to be willing to take on a company with £30m+ debts, with no income streams?

You still haven't told me what they do to connect to their city.

Was it? Ok thanks for clearing that up for me. I'm glad you know what I am thinking. When was the last time the football club showcased the city?

It will put the club and its associated companies into more debt. Or are you saying the company that will ultimately own this new ground will not be part of the CCFC group of companies?

What do they do then?

Thats my point. Go around Coventry and you wouldnt even know we have a football team. Where's the adverts? Where's the fan interaction? Where's the presence in the city? What do they do to make themselves part of the community? Visiting sick children in hospital is all good, but that isn't...

Good one. Have you got any suggestions on how to sort this mess out or are you just on the wind up again? I would have hoped a super fan such as yourself would have taken this subject more seriously. Unfortunately it seems that once again you have taken this opportunity to make a few snide...

I haven't particularly seen much from Wasps in doing things to directly help the community. However lets not kid ourselves regarding CCFC. CCFC's presence in the city and county has always been minuscule. They don't involve themselves with local people whatsoever. They do nothing to connect to...

Ok lets plunge the club millions in debt and move it out of the city because of the colour of the seats (which when Mark Robins proposed a few years ago half of the posters on here thought it was a good idea anyway). As you say its down to what Wasps are prepared to do. So your solution seems...

Working with Wasps/ACL is the only sensible option left. Anything else doesn't make sense. Loading the club up with massive interest debt to pay for a stadium no one wants is going to kill the club. Sisu need to sit down with Wasps and sort something out. If they keep picking fights that they...

Why don't sisu pay for the pitch to be relayed? They didn't mind doing that at Northampton.

Looks like this needs to be posted again: Just look at the last time each club had a good season. A good season being: winning a trophy, finishing in the play offs or automatic promotion places, qualifying for Europe. I think this says it all: Arsenal 2014 Brentford 2014 Brighton & Hove Albion...
