people who keep wanting such a thing as a Phoenix club need to start a Phoenix board ;)

You have to let go....it's one cup in 130 years. Great when we did it, still great 20 years on but now it's a bit embarrassing to keep going on about it especially as we are a shadow of what we were.

They could in theory. However it won't happen. ACL is the management company set up by the Council who own them and the stadium. Then Higgs are also a share holder in ACL. So you can see the complexities? It would be the first club owned by it's council in effect.....not happening.

Not a chance of that happening.

No one can sue anyone. Errors were made but no rules broken. Good PR by the league!

I think what matters is the people who have to say in all this are the ones who need to meet. Anyone else is just feathering their own cap.

While I respect all sides of this argument I think this board is not the place to continually brow beat other members with your constant view. You do what ever you decide for you and your conscience. For what it's worth my own opinion is that my team are playing their fixtures and I will...

What happened to this thread? I think the original question is better answered by OSB tbh. I wouldn't even attempt to try and explain it!

I think we are looking at it much the same way OSB but perhaps have a slightly different belief to how it would possible go down or end if you will. I'm aware L2 is more likely than the Prem but it's the potential you seem to ignore more. If you take on an empty closed pub (and I've done that...

With all due respect OSB, while I agree with you up to a point your valuation of say 5m is what I would expect from an accountant. As an entrepreneur I'd then evaluate from that stance. To suggest a L1 club that could be L2 is one thing but tbf we are also just two season's away from the...

My very point.

I think we all need to understand what Coventry City is worth in terms of potential and if you like historical significance before making suggestions we are worthless. Now if Yeovil were for sale and no stadium I think it's worth very little. Now if Coventry City were for sale (a major...

We are getting off topic again. I was trying to guage the feeling among folks who are being starved of their football 'at home' and whether they will consider more away games as an alternate as they are not spending it at the Ricoh? My brother, a season ticket holder for a lifetime has now...

70M was figuratively speaking OSB in order to make the point. It's often been a figure used at will on here. I think an offer of somewhere between 20 or 30m would be bitten by SISU and they would go. I also think it's always been the best way forward. Any other way as you are suggesting would...

Not good at PR. Not sure he thinks before he opens his mouth. Caught in a difficult spot. Limited by his boss as to what and how much he can say. If it was a school report the comment would be "could do better".

The only way out of this will be a deal of 'some kind' with SISU (Otium) and nothing will change until that is done. If what you say Haskell took on the stadium in a deal with the council then needed the franchise of CCFC then he would be faced with having to find 70m to see SISU go. Now on...

Clearly with such little support at Sixfields, then all those fans that normally attend the Ricoh for their Saturday afternoon fix will have money in the bank instead? So in theory then, a few more of those people may decide to spend it on the odd road trip to away games they would not have...

Thanks for the post. Fleck was very good, we had pace and knocked it around well. We were caught out by the long one over the top too often. Clarke did get himself in a pickle but we look good tbf. We will score plenty again this year...just got to tighten up at the back. Murphy I thought could...

Well it's vague at best. I can't help thinking though the football club merely had a lease to play at the Ricoh, they did not have agreements to provide a 5,10 or 20,000 foot fall of revenue producing punters for ACL. ACL of course claim consistently they don't need the football club so any...
