By both sides agreeing to the terms laid out and getting CVA signed,
1) Acl win by getting £590000 up front ,longstanding tennant ,appeases other Ricoh buisinesses ie Casino ,Compass ,guaranteed revenue stream.
2)SISU win by getting better lease terms ,more attractive to sell CCFC with long lease in place at quality stadium with potential for sale of Ricoh to new owners ( even not owning the ground CCFC is still a more attractive proposition to potential owners than being stuck in Northampton or 12000 seater stadium elsewhere around Coventry) maybe start to build up some credibility that is in negative figures at the moment.
C) the fans win ,no Northampton ,maybe get it all sorted in time for transfers in current window ,no deduction of points, hopefully start to move forward and not have off pitch matters overshadowing on field ones.
By not agreeing and not signing the CVA,
1) ACL lose, by not having a headline act at the Ricoh ,I am sure they could make up the rent with concerts etc but these are much harder work than having a guaranteed income and leading tennant , they don't get £590000 upfront ,more acrimonious court action and bad press.
2) SISU lose,by loosing even more support when such a great offer is on the table, much higher losses incurred with lack of support at Northampton and building of inferior stadium to the Ricoh, CCFC much less attractive to potential buyers even if promotions gained .
3)fans lose ,travel to Northampton ,team will decline ,maybe eventually go out of buisiness .
There can be only one choice.
Sign it
Treat it as a fresh start,
Fans start to unite not divide ,
Support CCFC even under SISU ,probably sounds bad to some people but they have said all along they would sell at the right time ,making the club succesfull so they can sell is the easiest way to get new owners.
