Do we have a player to sell?
He did not say in CCFC he said in the development

You would have to ask very carefully what any investor expected to get out of a deal.
Hard to imagine it'd be the love of seeing George Thomas's career develop.

Willis probably or RCC.

It would be like a Tesco type thing wouldn't it? I wonder how a hotel chain would get involved with the premier inn next door.
I think.wasps got invited into a smaller stadium etc, without it going into a wasps fest I wonder how they planned the funding etc for that.

This well crafted statement which seems to address most of the discussions on this board can obviously be taken two ways, one as an open an honest vision of how they want to move forward or the reasons why nothing is happening due to a political embargo preventing any discussion or development going forward , i.e. a charter to do nothing and point the finger.
I have always said that they they should be judged on what they do , not who they are.
But there are things that make me somewhat skeptical about Tim's mea culpa and new found honesty:
I do find it rather peculiar that first up he chooses to speculate on another companies financial position as the reason as to why they cannot get a deal, even though they are not talking and the accounts seem suggest otherwise(at least for now)
The comparison for the F&B revenues is also quite dislocated and somewhat convenient as it implies that they would have that revenue for the team, not to run the stadium. I would expect that the running costs of a stadium would probably eat up the Highfield Road F&B figures. The Ricoh running costs i understand are North of £1m
Also I don't see how the council can simply block any development , planning laws will simply not allow it. The council cannot block planning applications due to other disputes.
To me it feels like platitudes and a charter to do nothing and point the finger but what do i know. If i am wrong happy to hold up my hands , but as I said earlier, they should be judged by what they do now.

I can't believe any sensible person believes the shite that he spurts out of his lying gob...........Am i going insane or are people actually agreeing with what he said ?

its just my opinion its heavy with "This scheme would be good for Coventry City as a club, Coventry as a City and the community - providing inward investment" implying that its all lined up ready to go but the political embargo of CCC has blocked it.

Hmm, see I read it as 'if the owner'd drop actions we could get this sorted'.
Regardless of which view you take though, I'd be more likely to assume it's playing to the crowd until something, well... actually *happens*.
Even if that's Fisher being teabagged by Joy for being insubordinate.

Easy way to gain popularity. I'm sure Joy wouldn't take it personally either. Hell, it might have even been her idea.

It aint big enough.
25,000 stadium, retail, hotel, student accommodation and Car parking.
Same as the joint training facilities.
It's deflection by the lying idiot and a few people are going to lap it up.

Dont think CCC could take that position and legally defend it as it is not connected with the JR's. Planning is planning and if SISU (or whoever) is going to make money and get a return I would not expect any hesitation from them.

TBF I think he was talking about SISU.

It's still easier to get things through with the co-operation of the local council.
Hang on - I think I have missed something
Who are the "they" you are referring to?
You are a development architect as well now then?

Because it's all bullshit.............He said the same thing 2 3 4 5 years ago.......in fact it's even more depressing !!

"They" would be the institutional investors who you told FP would be investing in the development and not CCFC. My question is how would "they" get a return on that investment?
But what do you disagree with?

Come on fiver stop being obtuse, the comment was merely a joke to lighten the mood on here.

Yes, my mate designed the Tardis and says it can be done.
My other mate Aesop is drawing up the plans.
In reality, go down there and see for yourself.

No he just does as wasps tell him and there is that tasty sponsorship deal if we agree a deal - isn't that right italia?

There will be no room for beduff simpletons to run car parks
He said they had institutional investors interested in the project
Institutional investors make money from property unit sales and rents etc
