Who cares about them???
The most important thing is that SISU won't be able to buy the Ricoh. We'll still be tenants so not affected.
You've just defined perfectly why we should all support this deal. Selling the club and the ground as a package is exactly what SISU want to do (hence why they tried to distress ACL to get the ground cheaply) - hence why we must oppose it. We also want SISU to pay as a high a price as possible for the Ricoh - again, because getting it cheaply is their objective.
Which as we know would be a bargain in the Premiership.
Unfortunately previous management (and Sisu) took the gamble on a fixed rental as they thought 'Operation Premiership' would work.
Sisu should have renegotiated this as a condition of taking over but we have done this to death.
At the expense of the club?
Think some are losing focus here. Surely the number one priority for us all is to secure the futures of Coventry City FC. I don't care about Sisu, I care about my club. Seems like some people want Sisu out whatever the cost and that could prove disastrous for CCFC.
I want the club to have the Ricoh. If that means under Sisu, then so be it, though I would want ACL/CCC to make sure the deal had some sort of protection built in to secure the future for the city of Coventry and it's citizens.
£1.3m would still have been too high in the Premiership.

Thanks for the input, but the adults are here now and we're trying to have a debate. You can play Minecraft if you want. Cheers.
Wrong - anything bad for SISU is good for CCFC, and vice versa. That's why I'll support anything that makes life harder for them to stay. I won't support the club at any stadium other than the Ricoh and I certainly don't want to see SISU buying the Ricoh.

I can't believe what I read on here sometimes. Support a bunch of egg chasers controlling our stadium, you are fucking mental.You've just defined perfectly why we should all support this deal.

The 1.3m was certainly a part of this whole sorry mess and set the wheels in motion to it's almost inevitable conclusion.
Never heard of it....what's your solution for getting rid of SISU?

"Our stadium" - that stadium we didn't pay for, don't own, and which we unilaterally ripped up our anchor tenancy agreement?

I thought Ann Lucas said they could not sell the Ricoh freehold some time back, so what are Wasps buying, a long term lease hold?
Seems a bit quick. Presume full due diligence has been carried out. Wonder if it will remain private post sale?Agreed fp ........ we don't actually know do we ............. but the CT article implies it is approving it to be sold next week.
Now you really are talking out of your arse. You must be on a wind up?
Ending the old agreement was good for the club wasn't it?

What's your way forward on this?
CCFC are building a new stadium and ACL need an anchor tenant.
I won't hold my breathe ....................
£31m? Can you break that down?Another ridiculous comment... it was based on the £31m the council have to plough into the project to allow us to have a home ground. No private investor would touch us - funnily enough I didn't hear any objections about state aid back then....
£1.3m p/a to pay back £31m, plus inflation, is hardly a high-yield deal for the lenders is it?
But of course, it's up toe the council to pay for CCFC to have a ground, so of course even this is unreasonable...

no, unless you enjoyed your seat at Sixfields.
Do I win a prize? I've found the one person who thinks the old deal was better for the club.
Spider is like Derek Hatton.Hope that Brighton Podcast guy isn't lurking still, he'd be absolutely pissing himself.

it's all about SISU leaving. That's the most important outcome we can hope for.

All I care abotu is stopping SISU getting the Ricoh
Trouble is we don't know how this involves ccfc. Can we buy into it? Can westill rent? Can we still play in the Ricoh? What happens after 2 or 4 years?
Many questions still unanswered.
