We will stay up
Murphy, Christie and Moussa will leave
Pressley will replace them as best as he can and we will be about the .10th best team in league 1 next year IF we don't lose more points
BUT it means nothing without playing our home games in Coventry

We will be back so why not continue to support the manager & the team in the meantime?

Nobody wants to be making this journey but we have to for the long-term financial future, whoever owns the club needs to own the stadium (as the club can't afford to) and control ALL revenue streams.

FFP is based on 'gross turnover', 60% of which can be spent on players (wages, transfer fees, bonuses etc. etc.) please take a good look at our history, the rental model has never worked and under the new rules never will.

Current situation is not financially viable so don't trust the premise of your comment.

Your financial contribution to the club by attending is worth nothing and so my support is given without attendance until we return to Coventry

So if you buy ACL for the cost of an inferior stadium. Would that not be the solution?

Cannot see any chance of what your suggesting or even the slightest possibility of a return to the Ricoh but I could be wrong!

Doubt it though.

No, decision made for me by the actions of the owners removing the club from the city

No choice because of the intransigence of CCC & those being used by them as a political football, note ably, ACL. HELP!

Why don't they submit the bid. At least then SISU would have more credence

Do you think SISU have done anything wrong in the last 18 months?

CCC won't sell, stepped in to bail-out ACL (at the 11th hour) to the tune of £14 million, when SISU already had an agreement with the Yorkshire Bank to clear the mortgage for a much more realistic figure, £6.4 million!

So CCC wasted a lot of Council Tax payers money to assist a company that they had a vested interest in! Is that legal?????????

I'm sure they have but so have more than one of the other parties involved in this saga.

A new stadium will realistically cost 30 million.

Bid anywhere near that for the whole of ACL.

The fans may then give SISU some credit and agree with the new stadium concept if it is rejected.

Yes I think it is legal as the 14 million was the correct value of the loan.

The 6.4 was because the same people offering to buy it were refusing to pay the bills to company who owed it to the bank. That sounds more illegal to me personally.

Why do you only criticise the actions of the council then?

What do you think SISU have done wrong?

RFC you should be RIP
You talk some dribble, going to Northampton is forced upon us by our owners sisu who stated would fund any losses in income by not playing at the Ricoh.
You need to look in the mirror pal and see what being a sisu stooge has done to our beloved club!!

Big rumours a deal has been done to play at the Ricoh next season. Don't believe it for a second but there is always hope.
