Arena shopping park?

My original point (which seems to have got lost along the way), was to challenge this idea that a club needs to own a ground to be successful. Swansea are a very well run club yet have as many assets as we do. I can't help but think that the stadium situation is a smokescreen to hide poor...

They pay a % of ticket sales

Yes, £1.2m was a high rent.

You agree then that the variable rent that ACL offered would have been fairer then?

We could have only been paying £400k.

They may get something from F&B's and parking, that I don't know. They certainly don't get anything from non matchday events (conferences etc).

Grendel, why didnt the club accept the offer of variable rent? Why did they not accept the offer of £400k rent? How are Swansea so well run despite not owning their own ground? Typical that your usual tunnel vision stops you from being able to see the point being made.

<p> My point being that Swansea were paying in excess of £400k whilst being in league 1.

I was just reading about the Liberty Stadium and Swansea City. Swansea moved to the Liberty at the same time as we moved to the Ricoh. Swansea are regarded as being one of, if not the best run football club in the country. Yet they rent their stadium, not own it. The Liberty Stadium is owned...

I get my 'release' by watching at cheering on the team. Your right that football is tribal, the whole point is that the tribalism is done through sport so that we don't have to act like cavemen. Its supposed to be about Coventry & Warwickshire against the rest of the country, and what happens on...

Maybe she Nags him?

Is the transfer embargo on CCFC Ltd or CCFC Holdings though?

Sisu's plan is to just muddy the water to the point that no one has a clue what is going on. Tim Fisher is currently hiding under a pile of coats hoping that somehow everything will turn out ok.

Also then we need realistic ideas about summer signings. If we get new owners then there won't be many signings (excluding loans) until next January.
