Have never been to the grounds though
And merchandise.....
What the fcuk has that got to do with anything?
Halfwit.
Don't the majority of Coventry residents support Man Utd, Liverpool and Chelsea?
It has quite a lot to do with it. He is proposing that we sell/give (I believe he would want us to give it) a tax payer funded property that is worth million's to a HF. If he has not paid tax to the council, of course it will not affect him one bit. But it does effect all other tax payers. I am not one as I live in London, but 98% of my family do.
What the fuck has that got to do with my reply to his post? He was the one who said it.
You said that the heart has been ripped out of the city. Most of the city don't support cov or don't even like football.
Thats the same for every city
It's not about the one home game, SISU have already planned for this situation, even Greg Clarke said this morning that SISU could fund this club for "years to come" it won't end unless there is a catalyst for change. SISU may even sell up if they got the Arena, I would take that as a possibility as well
If SISU got hold of the Ricoh we could be in this situation again years down the road, I could see them selling CCFC but hanging on to the Ricoh. So we'd have new owners paying rent to SISU with SISU reaping the benefits and not CCFC!!
Whilst I agree with the club and stadium being united, IMO it has to be under new ownership and not SISU. They've shown they can't be trusted.
How can you make sure new owners wouldn't do what you think sisu would?
If you can prevent new owners from doing it - surely you can prevent sisu from doing it too?

You can't be 100% sure the new owners wouldn't take that route, but you can be 99% certain it's the route SISU will take!!!

The problem with your argument is that the club alone is worthless. There wouldn't be anyone willing to buy it ... or maybe the fans (the Trust) would, I don't know, but surely no sensible business or businessman would.
I've paid plenty of council tax in Coventry. I'd pay another 5 years up front if it meant they got the ground for free.
It doesn't affect tax payers anyway. Stop lying.
James you must have missed this - why haven't you asked Hugh to back up these claims.
I think he's talking crap - what do you think?
So the tax payer of Coventry are not going to benefit from the sale of 120mil + arena and the surrounding area. Think you may well be talking trip.
Understand what you are saying Robbo - needs someone to make a move to break the deadlock. You could just as easily rename the letter and send to CCC or perhaps more importantly to rewrite and send to Seppala asking her sell up entirely. Dont see any of it happening any time soon
1) I dont think the Trustees (not PWKH's decision) have any desire to sell anything to SISU
2) I would guess the CCC would veto any sale by the Charity (and vice versa)
3) SISU are not interested in 50% of ACL in any case they want the whole site. In fact to get a return on their investors money nothing less will do
4) SISU wont sell up because CCFC is the only route they have in to the Ricoh
not about the rent, not about the ownership of 50% of ACL ............ this is now simply about ownership of the stadium complex and development land...... got to ask do CCFC need that ownership to survive?

summed up completely
yet amazingly some are calling for sisu to get their grubby hands on the arena
Can you imagine the rent that Shitzu would impose should they ever get their grubby little hands on the Ricoh?
That won't bother grendel it will be then a fair rent of 1/2 million
Can you imagine the rent that Shitzu would impose should they ever get their grubby little hands on the Ricoh?
So your stance of using council taxpayers to give a £14 million loan to ACL and moan moan moan by you, is obviously flawed as it doesn't affect the taxpayers according to you now?
You really are lost with your arguments are you not?You can clearly? How much? £1.2 million a year? I'd agree then -- greedy scum!!
why stop at the Ricoh, why not give everything away. sure people will have no issue with all council owned facilities being given away to private companies for free.
I think y'all talking silly. Who says SISU should have to get any long term ownership of the Ricoh? Clearly no one wants to give them that? However a contracted 'franchise' of the Ricoh could be one way to do it with plenty of clauses.
No one has to sell it lock stock and barrel to these Hedge Fund monsters but a solution to satisfy them and see our football club have an opportunity of survival in Coventry is certainly within the power of ACL/Council to make happen. Until they propose something sensible and sustainable to the football club then I will equally despise them as much as I despise SISU.
hand them a franchise of the Ricoh for a set period, enough to earn back their investments and invest further in the team aspirations and a clause that has an end date that they must abide by.
I'm sick of coming up with solution after solution while these dick heads continue their games of brinkmanship.
