There is no confirmed offer by Hoffman there is nothing for the FL to recognise.

It's not a similar offer from Hoffman though...Hoffman pays £400k rent then gets the money back, ergo ccfc are paying the rent....
“I assume that the attendance at the Ricoh would be at least 5,000 per game more than at Sixfields – this is undoubtedly conservative – so 5,000 at an average £15 per ticket for 25 games equals £1.875m extra revenue.
“Otium can take half of this upside for trading purposes; the people who put up the money with me would take a return to cover financing and other costs and any additional revenue would be invested in the Academy.

If the fans raised a significant sum towards the rent.
SISU would not take it but the offer would make headlines and again show what a sham SISU's explanation that they have no other option is rubbish.

Why would we want to put the rent up?

No disrespect to the OP, but this idea(I can see where he's coming from) is a little like the "Eskimo" welcoming a stranger into his home, feeding him, giving him shelter, and finally giving him the rights to "Give his wife one"......All for no payment....Wait a minute though! Isn't this the same thing thats been going on for over a year now?

I agree with Prefect. This is not a question of SISU's ability to pay the rent or whether there is a business case for moving to Northampton. In my opinion, their game plan has been, and continues to be, based on the assumption that they can financially distress ACL and buy the Ricoh on the cheap. They have been single minded in pursuit of this plan and no offer from Hoffman or the Fans will deflect them from this objective.
As for the FL changing their minds if the fans raised enough dosh to cover the rent, unfortunately wingy, I don't think there's any chance that they'd do this. Apart from anything else, if the FL do anything to undermine their plans, I believe that they are concerned that SISU might take legal action against them. Some people have speculated that SISU have some sort of legal case against the FL because of an error they made with the contracts/player registrations/golden share some time before Ltd. went into Admin.. If this is correct, then it means SISU have, (and will continue to have), significant 'leverage' in any negotiations with the FL.

I'm sure he'll get it to the club on letterheaded paper in due course
The rent is paid out of the additional monies generated by remaining in coventry (larger crowds going to games). It's a no brainier.
The fact is either solution will be dismissed by sisu as it doesn't tie in with their own plans

Could you explain exactly what "confirmation" is required to enable/force (whichever was implied in your post) the FL to "recognise" the offer.

We wouldn't they would refuse the offer we would be showing the FL the ground move is nothing to do with rent

But from sisu's pov, they want to leave because they don't want to pay £400k+ rent and not get any match day revenues, so why pay the rent via Hoffman to still get no access to match day revenues. Like Hoffman says the extra fans will bring enough revenue for them to pay Hoffman (the rent) back, so they would be paying the rent.
I'm not saying this in support of their decision to move, just pointing out the logic of why sisu have turned it down.
