They had the income when they got the loan, and an agreement that the income would continue. Most businesses that get a loan do so on the basis that they believe future trade will continue to be enough to pay back the loan (insert gag about a SISU exception). If the income decreases then the...

Sadly this is the only direct quote from the League “We are in an ongoing dialogue with the club regarding its plans to return to Coventry and will be seeking an update in accordance with the membership agreement.” This is not worthy of making a headline, try harder Telegraph.

Not necessary is it. Grow up.

I'd hope they would agree to the rent part, works out at £200k a year for a 10 year deal. I would think we'd get some revenue access for free, but not all. Not sure they would agree to the non football bit, unless the club wanted to buy a share of ACL. Shame the club won't rent, sounds...

I imagine you would, I'd be interested to know what your answers are to the questions though. No problem if you're worried about answering them though.

If it was free do you think the club would come back? What's the most you would pay if you were in charge?

Lighten up Mr G, I was having a little jest with you.

Wasn't that the Council not ACL. Different companies remember, no connections, move along, nothing to see here.

I seriously doubt any lost revenue from not owning a stadium warrants the cost of building or buying one. We are not in a position to afford either option, and if SISU's investors put the money forward to build or buy one then the interest charges will kill us. I wouldn't bet on us being...

He probably did, ML certainly did on Friday. I would imagine if ACL weren't charging them in accordance with the contract SISU would have mentioned it at the time. Generally when billing service charges you'd add a management fee, or sometimes have a minimum or estimated charge for an item to...

If you were trying to run the club starting afresh, then I think you'd be able to make a profit by accepting a rent of up to £400k. Apart from the interest charges I would imagine staff costs and other overheads are pretty low now. Obviously SISU want some or all of their investors money...

Is losing £6m a year rather than £7m a year improving the situation? I don't think so, it's just a worsening situation, but at a slower rate.

Michael Doyle makes it to FA Cup semi final. Good luck to him, a good player for us (until he stopped tackling).

I think the Trust should be mindful of the views of the minority, but if the people in charge of the Trust have been elected (in some way) by the members, then they should decide what they think is best. If you keep going back to ask what 'the people' think then what's the point of being in...

As I see it there are two debates around the total rent/service cost. 1. Look at the old rates to understand why we left. 2. Look at the current offer to understand why we haven't come back. I can understand why we left. Does anyone think we would be back even if there was a...

In the main the club has 23 income generating events. A lot has been said of possible rent/service charges on a per game basis. I think splitting costs over the income generating units can give a good reflection of the position we are in. So, per (home) game the costs were, for 12/13...

ML has said Joy has met many supporters. So that must be true.

If ACL offered the arena for free, and I mean no rent and no service charges, not a single penny charged, do you think the club would come back. I don't.

What about cheap prices to pensioners?

Are you suggesting Leicester reserves playing a one off game (or was it two) is the same thing as having 12,000 going to watch Cov play for a season? If all the circumstances were the same (and this hasn't happened), then I don't believe it's fair to charge CCFC more, and neither do I think...
