club statement on offal (3 Viewers)

[TheUKGryphon]

Talking loud and sayin' nothin'

The biggest waste of time since the invention of statement making.

So none of us are any the wiser for this 'statement' then?

ARSEHOLES!

FAO SISU....or any employee that works for these grubby little shysters:-

Listen and listen good....Neither Coventry City Council nor any other partners in The Ricoh will deal with you because they all know what we know....you are nothing more than a money grabbing pile of sh@te who have absolutely no regards for CCFC or it's traditions. In view of this get lost NOW.

 

[Paxman II]

It's a statement that all of us would have appreciated a few weeks ago and now you want to disbelieve it? They are talking guys and the right people are doing the talking. Best be careful what you wish for....there is no Hoffman and elusive Chinese investors anytime soon.
There is time....the transfer window is not till about 3rd week June or so? Clear to me as I stated a while back they are trying to negotiate a deal or two before they can present a budget to go forward with. Ms Joy is not there to simply smile back and forth at a few council men!

 

[Tonylinc]

Like your optomism Pax. but do you really think that the Council or Higgs will deal with this lot after all that has been said in the past? In any event do you honestly want them to get their hands on any part of the stadium?

So are you saying SISU can't afford to buy the Ricoh and the council won't sell it to them so they will be given part of it for free?

 

[Tonylinc]

What I am saying is that Sisu could not possible afford to buy the stadium and in any event, I for one would not want to see them owning any part of it at all.

 

[Paxman II]

It's not about ownership of the stadium but about income from it.

Look I've had a few businesses in my time and when i lease a Nightclub for the purpose of drinking and dancing and allowing the public to congregate there then I own the rights to sell the beer and make a profit not just profit from the door money. Get it?

Once you understand that then you can understand why SISU are asking for the right to revenue streams when they occupy the building on a lease term? Seems fair to me. Either that or if not, then a reduced rent as we only use it to play football on and have the public there..we are not actually getting some of the revenue generated by 'our' client base coming to your beer counter/pie counter or what ever else is inside the bloody place.
It's a bigger remit than that but that's the general idea and not an unreasonable one.

 

[Otis]

Just that's it's Sisu we are talking about here and they have shown no interest whatsoever in the fortunes of this football club or what happens to the team out there on the pitch.

 

[Otis]

Yep. Want to own half the ground. Don't give two hoots about the club itself.

 

[RegTheDonk]

I hope the council tell them to f**k off. They are only interested in getting back some money for themselves out of the stadium and have no intention of seeing the club prosper.

Don't know if Hoffs chink investment will ultimately be better for the club, but anything to get SISU out will do thanks.

 

[dick turpin]

please god NO and NO
they do not want the club but have no choice
they only want the ricoh and land

piss off sisu

And you know all about SISU's financial situation?

SISU would not trying to secure some or all of the stadium if they could not afforid it - surely?

FFS READ OTHER PEOPLES POSTS TIMS......They plead poverty, but say they have money to buy the fooking Ricoh...If they've got money why didn't they service the playing side of this "So called business":blue:

SISU can almost certainly afford to buy half the stadium if not all of it. They cannot buy all of it because half of it isn't available to buy.

But buying the stadium has nothing to do with putting money into CCFC. They don't put money into City because they can see they will never get it back.

Putting money into a stadium is a different proposition. They see big bucks that way.

 

[Astute]

Big bucks from what?

There is already a long catering contract.A medium naming rights sponsorship is already done. Events can be held, but would this cover the interest payable?

To me the money must be in the surrounding land. Otherwise it would be a large investment for a small return for a fair few years.
