Just for CCFC revenue rights!? Are you dizzy blue? (Don't worry I don't actually speak like that, but seriously, are you having a laugh!) We sold our share for 6m! Which gave up revenue rights from other events not just CCFC f+b rights, CCFC should get 100% f+b rights because no CCFC fans, no...

How have I done that here? I said 'ConDem', does that offend you? Deal with it, I just think it's unfortunate that the Lib Dems and Conservative parties make 'ConDem'. Dry your eyes. I was stating that a quango can be a limited company (which oakey has shied away now) and I don't think...

As soon as I seen this, I had a feeling you was on about the 'milk snatcher' (before this post I checked to see where she was from, I didn't know beforehand). Any see that some Labour Councilliors in Geantham support building Thatcher statue!? What a disgrace. :mad: :o what has happened to...

I've already answered the question, yes I do think we should have F+B revenues for free, the club needs a helping hand and as I say, if ACL care in the slightest about the club, they'll happily help us out, but they want to sell every right pice by piece then the 'poor old council and charity'...

Even then, the CCC might veto it... :mad:

That was included, yes, but they still get revenue from other, more prestigious events held at the RICOH Arena. Wouldn't you expect a charity to be charitable here? If we paid what we sold them for, it would be 6m and we'd own 50% of ACL, Higgs want 10m for that share. It's a minor concession in...

A quango can be a limited company as well. For example, Capital for Enterprise Limited and British Nuclear Fuels Limited (cut under ConDem government). Councils should not run football clubs and should only offer financial support if the pros outweighed the cons and it was the last resort.

Quango - 'a quasi nongovernmental organization; an organization that is financed by the government yet acts independently of the government.' ACL was just bailed out by the CCC for 14m, and is 50% owned by the CCC.

It wouldn't happen, it would not be allowed to happen by the people of Coventry, I don't want me (future) taxes being wasted on CCFC when there's so much to do with regards to the city. ACL wouldn't exactly want to take over CCFC anyway, so again, it is a flawed question. Loaning money is...

What do the council do to make CCFC games happen? It's CCFC who pay for the match day costs to make the games go ahead (if I'm wrong, anyone correct me, but I'm guessing this is what we pay the 10-oddk in match day costs for?) so we should reap the fruits of our own labour? It's also CCFC fans...

They wouldn't ever own the club so it is a flawed question. But, I would also be very unhappy if the local authority came to own the club, because they'd be ploughing money into the club on keeping the club, paying greedy players + their agents and transfers fees etc. I'd be disgusted to be...

I have not been 'duped' by SISU spin doctors, I have said on many occasions, 'both are bad guys here' and I have also acknowledged that SISU haven't gone about this the right way, however, I feel strongly about the rent, I feel it is a rip-off, you feel differently, but that's how I feel. SISU...

Says it all really, even opposition fans (Donny, who have been there done it) are on the 'enemies' side as well. For me, it is only CCFC v ACL and many CCFC 'supporters' have essentially deserted the club they 'support', all because of an all-consuming hatred of SISU, and I could almost...

We sold the right for F+B revenue streams for any event held at the RICOH, including CCFC games, I get that, but I think it is perfectly reasonable and acceptable if that is revised, I'm not saying we should get all of the revenue off concerts, Olympics or Rugby games, but I'm saying we should...

Did he make it out alive? :laugh: Only joking people!

Yes I do, only for CCFC games, though, not a slice of concerts or anything like that, that's what we sold as well, the club deserve the revenue our fellow fans raise at CCFC games, no CCFC, no revenue on match day, is it fair for ACL to leech in this sense? Also, the club need that 100-200k in...

Well it is evidence, actually, because if ACL thought it was reasonable, they wouldn't negotiate it would they? I wouldn't negotiate a price if I thought it was fair, take or leave it would be my stance. CCFC have agreed on 400k P/A so your point here is, pointless, they'd want to know what...

For starters, how can anyone assume what concessions have been made, since no one here has sat in on these negotiations. I'll give you an example, 400k agreed rent, Fisher, Joy and co. hinted they wanted the league average (150/213k) and I'm guessing ACL wanted to keep the rent as high as...
