Things haven't changed then
Yes, in that the money wasn't put into the club, it was siphoned out for personal gain.
We made NO money off it.
It was the wages that crippled us Keane came in on 15,000 a week and within 12 months our wage bill quadrupled as others wanted parity
So when Dublin was on 20000 a week they all got parity did they?
Why on earth would they stay in Northampton?
There are only two ways to look at it:
1. We play away temporarily and return to the Ricoh after 1, 2 or 3 seasons or build this stadium they claim.
2. We return to the Ricoh soon and eventually crack a deal that suits the club and stay and build on a future.
This is what happens on a forum. You answer with pure opinion and absolutely no fact.
Just to be clear: They could build a small stadium inside a year. Planning could be granted very quickly.
An option is just that an option (if it's required...like insurance) it does not mean we stay there 5 years.
If they were building a stadium and the roof collapsed they might need another year away under such exceptional circumstances. That's why you negotiate options.
FFS grow up all of you!
If you keep looking for the worst scenario then that's all you deserve. Start supporting your football club through thick and thin. You sound like whinging poms.

Are we approaching a split scenario like Everton moving from Anfield and forming their own club in the 1880's?
Many posters are discussing a new form of a Coventry club and if the sixfields situation continues that will only grow louder. There will be a gap in the market for a new club if this carries on much longer to staisfy the desire to watch their City's representatives in action and not having to travel to a town that wears another clubs name.
I had a season ticket for many years despite living overseas and not using it often and have supported the club since the 60's but honestly I dont give a toss how they do at present whilst these shysters are in place and rip the soul out of what I have always considered my club.
If the Brandon or a new stadium is built within the Coventry area I will support which ever form takes over the Ricoh and here is why. This crisis is self induced and could have been avoided by paying the rightful amount to the landlord as contracted and negotiating a better deal which was a necessity given their league status. They chose to renege on a deal which they agreed on upon ownership and bitched only upon poor results yet when they were anticipating premiership football it was not an issue, they hid and piled debt upon debt until the club is stricken to its current extent and is unsellable in reality unless the owners are prepared to take a real hit and the evidence suggests that is not their modus operandi. They saw the Ricoh as this holy grail to yet failed to pay the very people who saved the project from its own folly and all I hear is ACL and CCC have played their own part in the demise of CCFC.
Actually they have alienated so many supporters that there is a real danger of anger being directed towards those that choose to travel to sixfields to follow the club.
I thought I was Coventry City til I die but I am Coventry til I die and I will choose whether it is City or some other form if and when the time comes but it will never be with SISU as custodians.
If that is all you're hearing...you are a poor listener or have very selective hearing (although you will be in the majority of posters on that issue)
