Err...didn't the SBT open letter (published in the Telegraph) already cover this...
No, it lumped Sisu's and ACL's demands in with it's own for talks. What OP is asking, and I agree, is how can we have talks if there are preconditions that by definition need to be negotiated? Surely we should start just with talks, ideally focussed on a short term return. The rest will be part of those talks.
Depends if we draw arsenal though!Smiley, we'd all like to talk football, players coming in etc.
The cold reality is most CCFC fans won't see any of the new signings play.
Sorry to rain on your lovely optimism, but it's the stark fact.

Cheers, fair point.....but seriously every day I check in and it appears the same discussions go around in slightly different formats!! Even if we get a transfer spec or football related chat going, it isn't long before that is turned and someone bitches about someone else. They are called a lover of ANY of the parties involved and away we go again!! The new post re; signing announcement is going off topic already ha ha
Surely now one of the main things holding up talks is the outstanding £590k.
Now as that is with the FL, why is there not a media shit storm going on as it is currently the FL that is preventing a return to Coventry?

IMO now it is with the FL, there is no reason why it should hold up talks. It's now up to the FL to decide how much ACL should be paid.

They did decide on it, £590k wasn't it. FL put the payment through because that is what they said, if there has been an overpayment then claim it back because ACL have done it before haven't they (was it rebates). Once done (as Ian say's above) drop legal shit because everyone knows it is flogging a dead horse and no hurdles, everyone talks. To be honest though and I don't know why the FL didn't do it when they first came up with this plan, should have got the money then in return for the Golden Share and payed it straight to ACL.
You would have thought the FL could have got their shit together and arranged a meeting before the 7th August to sort the money issue out!
Seeing as other threads have gone off topic with important stuff like who called who a comedy name.
Can this thread focus on ideas for trying to get the two parties to start negotiating.
Paying debts and things like that should be part of the negotiation. That's the whole point of a negotiation.
Both sides have said they want Cov at the Ricoh. So why the hell are they doing their talks through the media, I find it incredibly unprofessional.
Simon can you contact the chairman of ACL and Joy and Tim asking them how they expect to negotiate without speaking to each other.
Jan can the Trust do the same?

Yes FL should have asked for it up front. But again that shouldn't stop ACL from talks. There should be no preconditions to talks.
The FL league have brought this on themselves, I have no idea why they made it a condition, ACL waived their legal right to that when they rejected the CVA. Would have been better asking for a payment then investing it in grass roots.
(ACL didn't put the rebate through, it was the council)

Most on here know that I hold SISU 99% responsible for our situation.
However regarding negotiations I hold both sides equally responsible. It is disrespectful to us fans that both sides are stating their cases via the media and not face to face. It is unprofessional and they owe us fans the respect after what we have been through to have a simple face to face meeting.
