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?

Doyle was reportedly on £15,000 in the championship as was stern John. Lee Hughes received £18,000 a week it seems looking at the payback arrangement when west brom resigned.

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.

That is 3 ways of looking at it & actually there are more.
4. They never return.
5. They stay away from Coventry much longer than planned (when has a SISU plan ever worked?)
6. They lose their fans to a local club established at the Ricoh.
7. They are liquidated & someone buys the distressed assets.

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.

Right, so to confirm, they "could" build a stadium in a year. Any reason why they signed a 3 year deal with a further 2 years then ?, or are they concerned about the roof, which they wont have ?.

yet it takes over a 1/4 a of a year to make some kits ?

how on earth would planning be granted quickly ?

If its brandon, there isnt a cat in hells chance it will be granted quickly. The road network simply isnt there.

Not sure why most people keep looking at "worst case senerio" with SISU...It will come to me in a minute

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.

Believe that says it all for 95% of Coventry City Football Club fans!

Why do all the fans of our owners always have to turn to personal attacks rather than truly debate? It really piss's me off. I know the anti owner camp can fall into it, including myself but not as much as those.

"And the one that says never unless we are in our home at the Ricoh...has it ever felt like home? Only Highfield Road felt like home.
And regardless of strong opinion to the contrary it is not ALL Sisu's fault"

No it isn't and you knew that before asking. And you are dead right for the great majority of SB fans Highfield Road was and still is the true home of the club. But that is because it is where their greatest memories of their club have been made, including being their first game taken to, mostly by their father's (no offence to those it wasn't) but for the new young SB fans the RICHO is the home of their club for just the same reasons as above.

The new stadium. Sisu get some cash off of gullible investors.
Land is purchased (mortgage) construction begins.
3 months in construction stops, builders cite unpaid bills. Sisu claim builders are holding them to ransom.
3 months later bills are paid construction starts again.
6 months later the sisu owned stadium company is threatened with administration over unpaid mortgage interest bills. Bills are paid 24 hrs from deadline.
This process repeats itself over 5 years. The day the stadium is finished the stadium company folds. Sisu buy out their own company for very little. All investors lose out. Mortgage company loses out, building company loses out. Sisu rent the stadium to ccfc at 2 mil a year.

N. O. P. M. for these unethical snake oil salesman. Sisu fuck off

Nonsense - there is no way they would get planning in a year - it will be much longer if it ever got through (and I don't believe it will ever get permission either in Coventry or anywhere in Warwickshire - but then I don't believe they really have any intention of building a stadium in the first place - that's my opinion but based on a lot of research - in depth knowledge of planning and conversations with every district council leader in Warwickshire). Strange that you accuse others of spouting opinion and no fact when your that's all you are spouting - and ridiculous, inaccurate opinion too.

Aye it would be.... surprising if even if they got it quickly, it didn't have to go through lots of appeals...
