There is nothing confusing about it. While the pair of you are playing who's got the biggest cock, our club is going down the tubes.

I would assume that regardless of outcome sisu are 100% clear on their position. The timing at close of business hours the day before impending case leaving no time to react can not be a coincidence
The Board of Arena Coventry Limited (ACL) is aware of the statement made this evening by Coventry City Football Club (Holdings) that is has placed a non-operating subsidiary of its business into administration. The statement is unclear. We are revewing this action with our legal advisers and will make a public statement in due course."
In an earlier post I said that there would be no end of twists and turns before this saga is ended. This is another twist or maybe a turn. We need to see how far the statement matches up with the facts. This can't be done until business hours. We will then discuss the situation with our advisers, sort out what is what and then make a statement. There is no point in our saying anything more at the moment because things just don't add up. I am afraid that it is a night of speculation, rumour, the creation of myths and certainly nothing of substance. If what has been touched on in the statement is what it appears to say, the ramifications will touch all English football. I hope that Seppala and Fisher understand the genie they have just released. Nothing more to be done or said until tomorrow.
They may have released the genie but your lot rubbed the bottle and many of our fans made a wish they will really come to regret.
It never had to come to this Grendel-all they had to do was accept the bleeding offer on the table.

What was the deal on the table?
I would have no issue with the deal as long as we knew what it was? Similarly the new investors which have apparently been courted, what rental agreement if any, has been struck with them?

But why accept an offer which a) they didn't think was right for the long term future of the dclub and b) was unclear as ACL refused the figures on revenue for the food an beverages.
It would have been as negligent to do that as it was for the original clowns to sign the deal they did with ACL in the first place

SISU have completely upped the game here Peter.

Which wasn't satisfactory in my view.
Did you just subconsciously say ACL were effectively bullying CCFC to accept the offer?

I don't follow your thought process here. Surely there's not that many clubs in the same position as CCFC, i.e.: renting their ground. Of those that are how many are in rent disputes?
If you're referring to the FL allowing CCFC to complete fixtures away from the Ricoh then the FL have previously allowed clubs, Brighton spring to mind, to play fixtures well away from their local base. The only change here is that it would happen part way through a season.
What am I missing?
I think they've played an ace here.
Pathetic even by your standards.
People just don't get it do they?
Unfortunately in life in business you deal and negotiate with people you may not like to try and achieve what you want.
The fact is the council and ACL created a monster when they agreed the original rental arrangements with the club. This was always deemed to fail. The fact it has lasted so long is a miracle.
Like or not any other club (Hull, Doncaster, Ipswich etc.) who have had issues with the council have took the clubs side and in all those examples the club have profited. We are the only club whose supporters have sided with a landlord.
Sorry people have been asking for it and they are getting it.
This is a disaster and we have helped create it.
The council have to drop the case and re-negotiate.
Ace? Your saying like its a good thing! What a twat
Look at the offer being rejected by the club-what more can reasonably be asked for?
