Investment on the Horizon? (33 Viewers)

[Captain Dart]

I am aware that the council are looking to and have already offloaded certain pieces of land (not just for housing and property development) at the moment. They are having to tighten their budget so a sell off of certain assets might not be out of the question.

Maybe it is car park C then? CC "took that back" as part of the Wasps deal.
Having trouble finding the detail of what that means, maybe someone will be kind enough to post info.

That would be me done with the club if the above was the case.

Really? The colour of the kit would be hard to stomach but other than that, I think
I'd be up for it. Especially if we owned the Ricoh.

There's City's season right there.

Either
a) There is truth in the rumour - whether or not it comes off or
b) Malak will need to change his user name

To Bawtry Neal perhaps?

I'd love to hear why JD?

Instead you prefer the dwindling death of SISU?

RED BULL ARENA

 

[Broken Hearted Sky Blue]

From what I've heard it's not the Ricoh it's the Butts, that's why CCC are involved also not someone new but someone we all know and love

 

[Manchester_sky_blue]

Getting ahead of ourselves. We have no real evidence that a takeover is in process.......... even if it is we don't know that it will actually happen............. or indeed any idea who the potential buyer might be. So getting shirty over changing of the clubs name or colours at this stage seems less than pointless.

Hoffman and Elliott?

gerrard,lamps and robbie keane consortium

as for red bull, id happily take their branding if they left us sky blue but with red trimmings

 

[CovisGod]

I know this is obviously all rumour,

But I've got a semi on

Hoffman and Elliott?

Erm, Malaka said it would be 'fucking fantastic'.

If it's not true, he's chucked a Malakav Cocktail through the Sky Blues Talk window.

if it's any of the twats that have been involved in the club previously then I really will be done

When Nuneaton Borough became Nuneaton Town they were still the Boro to the fans and continue to be so and if we had become Coventry Talbot the club would have still been and remained the City to us and I dare say, if we became RB Coventry we would still be the Sky Blues and the City too.

Some people are still not happy with Coventry being in the West Midlands and not Warwickshire and some as a result still put Coventry, Warwickshire on their post and parcels.

It's all a state of mind. We as the fans we call our club what we have always called it and are free to do so.

I would never turn my back on a name or colour change. Only a complete and total rebranding would have me thinking, but that's not going to happen.

No-one is going to come in, do a total rebrand and alienate it's own audience.

How about somebody involved with the club now, would you still be done

They've explicitly said there won't be any major sales. Theyre getting rid of bits and pieces for residential like Torrington and Blackberry Lane, but where else? Anything major like the City Centre or the Ricoh has been leased AFAIK.

Depends how much money is in the offing.........

*prays it's Brody just for the shit fit on here*

I have to ask, who currently involved has any cash and why aren't they putting it in now?

Well in fairness would you give Timmy any more cash than you had to ?

 

[shmmeee]

This is what Im saying, as government think in terms of centuries and land value tends to go up, it'd have to be a bloody good deal to be worth selling if it's not tied to their development goals somehow.

Why would anyone pay silly money for the Ricoh? It's not worth it and you wouldn't get a return.

None of this makes sense, it sounds like a fans wet dream. Malaka will be telling us they'll be building a wall around the King Power Stadium and making Leicester pay for it next.

I wouldn't go into business with him in the first place.

[dongonzalos]

Right I am going for it's still SISU linked and it's the Butts.
But the council and SISU's relationship is the ongoing issue.

 

[Liquid Gold]

No, I love sisu. I'm the one you've all been talking about when you say those that love sisu, I've been here all along telling Tim what you're planning.

Give it a rest, you're boring

I suspect Malaka has heard something different, as in anyone's terms that would not be described as 'fucking fantastic'

It's not just straight cash though. Property deals involving local Councils are often tied up with infrastructure and service improvements as well. If you have a target to build so many houses, so many community facilities, make road improvements etc etc you can often get developers to pay for those things as part of deals for other bits of land.
