I hate and loath SISU with a passion and wish they would just ferk off. However, SISU's latest move literally wipes of all debts, including the rent on the Ricoh. It all depends on whether or not ACL's legal agreement is with Coventry City FC Ltd or Coventry City (Holdings) Limited. Does anyone know ? Coventry City Ltd has no assets (according to CET). Clever move, but what a mess we are now in. Does this mean ACL will need to negotiate a new deal with Coventry City (Holdings) Ltd if ACL want to keep football at the Ricoh.

ACL will still be dealing with the same people at CCFC/SISU, so in practice the slate isn't exactly wiped clean

New deal or not, wiped £1.3million debt or not SISU will still have to subsidise a failing business to the tune of about 5million a year

This will backfire badly on SISU the reason it will backfire is because the football league will think CCFC are trying to get one over them.we ll get into the playoff berth this weekend just for it to be took away from us with a -10

5 million a year my arse, the removal of Wood, Bell and Sheffers this summer, plus the revised rent deal would have had us breaking even with the same level of support !

Its not so smart really if you think they have got away with not paying,they may yet have to pay.The real news here is they have broken the lease.

Wonder what Stephen Pressley makes of this?-- the 'reassurances' seem to be ahem not 100%....

Generally, the end is nigh for Sisu at CCFC. 5 years of incompetence and fiasco after fiasco.

Actually you will find there is a lot of sympathy for CCFC in the football world, its SISU that no one likes.

SISU were looking to this last year when
Tim told us the stuff they were setting up that OSB spotted was normal business.
They held back from going through with it so it can't be full proof. They have only done it now as they felt they have nothing to lose

Not much wrong with SISU,

Would you sooner have the moguls that are running Manu or Liverpool?
Everybidy hates their owners they're all just in it for the money.
What SISU have done is stand up to the BULLY - ACL!
And don't start shouting SISU were the BULLY! In this situation there was only one party with strength, that was ACL who tried to enforce an onerous rent deal that SISU had not signed but inherited!
I am glad to see ACL biting the bullet and saying there will not be a lockout. That is very good for all concerned and now I hope they will get round a table and agree a reasonable rent deal, 170k ish.
Hopefully the FA will not give the 10pt reduction, theres a chance that they will.
Its a chance SISU had to take. Although we might get into the playoff zone today we are unlikely to stay in it at the end of the season other teams around us have better points average!
SISU have done what they had to do and I see nothing to say they are a "bad" owner. What else is there to critisize other than getting out of the rent deal that they didn't sign in the first place.

:pimp:

I said this last week and got shot sown, I think ACL have played straight in to what SISU wanted all along.

Have either side been a bully? I think its just hard nosed business folk doing what hard nosed business folk do! Sadly the hard nosed business men on each side don't give a flying feck about the supporters in the
middle of it all.

I dread to think if anything remotely successful happened to Coventry City FC, I don't think I'd be able to cope! Stockholm syndrome I think they call it? without Sisu I wouldn't have any sense of worth.. Please reassure me nothing positive is going to happen any time soon.

Just for clarity: why should SISU care about CCFC? Answer: because they own it. Although calling it a cash cow made me laugh.
Why should CCC care about CCFC? Answer: they should a bit but it is not their job to fund it.
Why should ACL care about CCFC? Answer: a lot because it is a major tenant BUT it has a legal duty to run it's own business not SISU's

THEREFORE: blaming both parties equally for the mess seems patently ridiculous. SISU are the owners and are solely responsible for the current situation. They knew what the rent and income streams etc were and have had over 5 years to sort it out.
Question for the SISUnistas: what would SISU have to do to lose your blind, support?
Genuine question. I think some of our fans will blame ACL and CCC whatever they or SISU do.

I think we all agree SISU (and the previous regimes) are to blame for the whole sorry mess. We also accept that ACL have made large concessions negotiating. However, I can only speak for me, but the acceleration of the admin process when the wheels can so easily fall off our positive season for a long long time was a vehicle driven only by ACL. Their timing is awful and for that I wil continue to blame them.

Are you feeling all right? This is not the same Rob who backed SISU two sun rises ago?

We all want to blame someone but I cannot understand what you mean by timing
.The club owners have not paid any rent for a year now, what sort of company can do that and get no comeback.
I can only blame SISU for the mess.

SISU will liquidate this club if they cannot sell it in the summer, once all the pipe dreams of promotion are laid to rest and the reality that fans will not follow them to Walsall, Nene Park, Hinckley and the reality of the cost of a new stadium etc. All this latest debacle is doing is showing the world that they won't be beaten................but all the while the lifeblood of the club is bleeding away into the dirt, they won't give a fuck though, they'll move on back to Mayfair and their next project of looking for another sick puppy !

Ive never backed them mate only in jest in response to some fairly outrageous hypocrisy, but I Di back their stance on this saga.

The only caveat Ashdown would be that SISU have to save face. They cannot be seen as the terminators. They should sell and put an'undisclosed' against the sale. Sounds familiar?
