They could've helped in a more effective way, and why, when it was obvious we couldn't afford the new stadium, we carried on with these plans?

Didn't the council want the stadium just as much as the club? They had ulterior motives I think.

Either way, no bale out=no ground=no football league club. Blame Richardson if you like, but if SISU had a problem with this they should have resolved it when they bought the club. But I forgot, the wonderful Mr Ranson said that the rent wouldn't be an issue as SISU would buy the ground within 2 years, didn't he? If that was their plan to get out of the rent and secure matchday revenues, the current situation is a consequence of not following through on it.

it is spin, we all know that, but the club should get the money from catering/parking, its the lifeblood of any football team.

CHECKMATE !

Again, the situation we are in is an unsustainable football club. Are they all? Probably yes. Have sisu put in a vast amount of money? Yes. Does anyone know why? No. Do acl CCC Higgs trust the current owners enough to help them sufficiently? No. Would they trust other parties? Probably yes. No end of us supporters arguing will change the fundamentals.

I don't personally think there is a future successful club with sisu as owners. Don't get me wrong they are no worse than many football owners.

I don't personally think any owners could entertain the rent figures and lack of access to revenue streams so acl need to work out now, not many years ago, but now what their business model can sustain with the lowest possible rent and highest release of revenues and if sisu won't accept they have no choice but to push for their money, probably at the end of the season.

Unfortunately this is likely to mean a 10 point deduction for next season and new owners likely in lg 1 but I fear maybe down the pyramid.

People were warning of impending doom and as nothing has really changed in the years since moving to Ricoh in the footballing world we are once again on a precipice

All of the bickering needs to end its getting beyond a joke now. This is what happens when the fans are not informed or involved with what is going on at a club. How can the Council and Sisu call themselves professional people.

Because the council have stated they will never sell to SISU, same as they wouldn't sell to Manhatten group and it looks like they wont sell to anyone who isn't prepared to waste 30-40m trying to regenerate the area around the Ricoh. :facepalm:

For the third time of writing....If SISU can build a £30m stadium, then why not buy the Ricoh for £40m. lock stock and barrel. Hardly rocket science!:facepalm:

Unfortunately the likes of yourself have fully backed SISU's totally inflexible approach to these negotiations and have posted encouragement on here to their stance not to agree a deal many times.

I believe SISU representatives do read these forums.

Most on here just want SISU to sign up so we can have a football club with a future.

Unfortunately this post by you should actually be to yourself.

if SISU want the food revenue why not offer to buy it back at market value ? that way we ill see they have a long term intrest in the club and it will help balance the clubs books apparantly, got to be alot cheaper than building a new stadium:facepalm::facepalm:

It's another SISU bluff - ACL should call them out now.

Either way, we are approaching the endgame it seems

Don, people have differing views on the subject, so if they differ to you should they not bother posting? as that would make for a boring forum....and are you right?

Because they would'nt fund the building of the stadium you get enterprise to do it just like Tesco put 60m into the Ricoh project but that won't happen either and it will be either we play at the Ricoh as CCFC (in some guise) or we go pop and are gone forever.

So to summarise what we have seen on this thread so far..

> Most people don't trust SISU
> Most people don't trust the council and c**t Mutton
> Most people don't trust ACL
> Most people don't trust the Trust
> Hill83 doesn't support Tesco (Shocking)
> Ashbyjan doesn't trust anyone
> CCFC is feared to go into Admin, with some people saying Liquidation, although I feel that is probably bull as I couldn't imagine Elvis signing a three year deal if Liquidation was right on our doorstep.

Am I missing anything?

SISU have to do this

until it is sorted, they cannot sell season tickets for next season, so all revenue will dry up

Ultimately it will be sorted - 18 minutes before the deadline, with MR coventry Joe elliott stepping in with his stop watch, and Bob brolly claiming it was all his own work

Neither side can live without each other
Neither side can afford CCFC to fail
All sides SISU /Council/ACL are full of self importance , self promoting buffoons

I have stopped taking notice of such press releases, as they are all part of the above game, which will have to be sorted soon for season tickets sake

I think the problem on here for many and their hatred of Sisu is down to Sisu's previous misdemeanors. Trouble is, we are living in the here and now.

On the Ricoh issue you have to say that CCFC are right.

1. The rent is too high.
2. They should be receiving the revenue from the food and beverages
3. The club should be in the same ballpark as the majority of clubs the length and breadth of the country in terms of the rent they pay.

I do think you can have a distrust and dislike for Sisu but be in agreement with them on the above.

That love was never an issue

Although Tonylinc said "If that means liquidation so be it" ??? Doesn't sound like we all share the love...

What the SISU sycophants seem to have missed is it's the Mayfair hedge fund who are threatening to liquidate our club...TF: "we'll file pronto"...how's that for caring about the club and the fans...they really give a shit about us don't they? The rent and F&B issues are a smoke screen as far as I'm concerned and a drop in the ocean in relation to the huge losses they're incurring but they're threatening to blow us off the face of the earth over the equivalent of David Bell's annual salary?? They're playing with the very existence of our club and yet they get pats on the back from some for doing it. As for those who keep saying I'd rather have SISU than no club at all... There is now an ever increasing chance that we'll have no club at all WITH SISU...The saying turkey's voting for Christmas springs to mind.

SBT is saying some people are about to get what they have been asking for. I feel that comment is more relevant to himself.

I think it's becuase it seemed as though you meant he should have kept his comment to himself, rather than it should be directed at himself.

Ah no, I would never want people to not post on here.

I just feel the comment was more relevant to himself.

Encouraging SISU to not compromise and push for more and more. SISU's approach has fuelled this reaction from ACL

I just feel from the moment ACL started giving concessions and compromises and got nothing back in return their was only ever going to be one outcome. ACL at some point were going to say right that's it.

I just find it amazing that Tim does not realise the negative impact and knock on effects of transfer embargo's and putting out national press realises that lead people to believe Coventry do not have a penny.

Crazy business logic

Empty threat - never going to happen - SISU wouldn't have paid last months wages at the club if this was on their mind
