Fisher did.
He said Sisu would financially assist and pump money in for the 3 years to cover the shortfall until the new fantasy fairy castle is built in Never Never Land.
Otis ACL/Council are not willing enough to make a deal for the Ricoh though are they? So where does anyone go from there? Sentiment as you describe I can't argue with but corporate reality is another.
You may not want to believe in a new stadium that the football club will actually own and accrue income from but you need to realise there is more than a rented stadium to a football club. 15,000 is a very good average gate for where we are at the moment and for the foreseeable future. The mudula stadium is not pie in the sky either. In a few years after promotions if we ever achieve it the add ons are simple and would bring it up to a stadium of similar capacity as the Ricoh...and it's all ours! the figures for it regardless of what I have heard on here do indeed stack up.
the choice is rent and be unsustainable or move and secure a future? Of course I agree with everyone that heads should be banged together and a deal found but it will never be found while ACL exist sadly, for any owner that comes along. Begs the question what is Haskell's plan given that scenario? Are there secret deals lined up regarding the Ricoh that ACL/Council would otherwise not offer SISU? If not I find it extremely hard to find a reason for Haskell to bid unless he has land development tie ups. But what happens when that is completed? the football club still has to survive and won't simply renting a stadium without the income from it.
The new stadium won't be ours though will it.
CCFC will rent it through Sisu.
Sure, it will be much cheaper rent but the stadium still won't be ours.
A deal can be done here at the Ricoh. It has to be done.
Lots of ifs and maybe's there are 72 other clubs striving for the same thing. Hardly a sane business plan.Your suggesting that once built SISU will own it and rent it to whoever owns the football club is a cautionary one for sure.
Your saying a hedge fund holds onto an outpost without selling it for increased value as it would form part of the football club?
If SISU's plan (as been stated) is to achieve a saleable 'product' so they can negotiate their exit then that would clearly be the value placed on the freehold stadium they built and would sell on with the football club? If we reach the premier league that could be 75 -100m? It's ambitious but the only route they can plan given the circumstances they are in. They would be gone in 5 years.
