latest report regarding new stadium build .....

http://www.coventrytelegraph.net/sport/football/football-news/sky-blues-chief-tim-fisher-4065237

That would be Lionel Road IN Brentford would it ?

and Brentford who have a ground to sell

A new stadium financed by other development that you have yet to decide on and get planning approval for ..... let alone planning approval for the stadium..... not the greatest financial modelling.....

Anything is possible but ............

So the bloke has paid 10 million just for the land and has not built the stadium yet.

He also owns other land he can sell for 10 million.

By the time Brentford build the stadium it will cost him 20-30 million.

I take it when Tim says it won't cost SISU 20-30 million. It is because he doesn't see debt as actually costing anything?

Well it does and would leave CCFC 100 million in debt.

Please keep explaining Tim it gives me more and more confidence this is not happening.

Effectively SISU will pay for the land say 5-10 million then borrow the rest (in the name of CCFC) against that land. They will no doubt borrow against Ryton again as well
100 million here we come......

Couldn't we have afforded to keep hold of some players and prevent being in league one and having all this mess?

5 key differences between the Brentford plan's and SISU's (I refuse to call them CCFC's):

1. The stadium will be within the boundaries of Brentford
2. It will be in an area where regeneration plans are likely to be accepted
3. They have sensible funding plans
4. They own their own stadium and can utilise the sale of this towards the cost
5. Most importantly - their fans back the plans!!!!!

I'm sure there are more areas if difference, but the above are already enough to make SISU's plans dead in the water. They are desperately trying to convince everyone they are serious to push the price up for bidders. It can't and won't work!

I take it this is all part of a campaign of double bluff to try and ramp the price up for Ltd.

As in SISU have future plans so will pay a lot for it, so to out bid them you will have to pay a fortune?

And number 5 there is the most crucial.

We already have a stadium here and the huge majority of fans don't wish for us to move away from the Ricoh.

Problem is 'our' stadium is killing the club. And is isn't actually 'ours'.

The difference is, the lines of communication and negotiation are now closed to SISU, which is not the case for new owners. SISU have well and truly 'burnt bridges' and 'scorched earth'!

Two points: the rent is less than one tenth of the disclosed debts. Even allowing for zero rent, full F&B's and sponsorship monies, that accululated value would barely scratch the surface of those losses.

If we were £10 million in debt, I would agree with you. But we're not.

Our current owners are 'killing' the club.

Better owners, with access to the Ricoh's income via ownership is where the solution is. Not another SISU iteration at a half-baked stadium built in the troubled kingdom of Fisher's mind

They are doing something about in a professional way. Ie trying to buy half of ACL not break them. Did you really need that spelling out?

They appear to have a strategy to secure it via negotiation; as opposed to illegal withholding of cash and evident distressing. That'll be the difference, I guess

Losses and debts are different things.
If we owned ACL we (most likely) wouldn't run at a loss.

We don't know the full 'value' of the debts. It may say £70m in the accounts, but that is hardly the exact value across the companies in the group. Sisu have bloated the debts as a protection against a hostile takeover - we see the effect of that right now.
Don't expect a new owner to do it differently!

How do you know this, why wouldn't they want to buy the charity share of the Arena as SISU/CCFC started to do?

I genuinely believe SISU do not want to win the bid for Ltd.

They are trying to push the price of it up.

I also think they hope to sell holdings to the buyer of Ltd hence fighting to justify the importance of holdings.

The stadium concept, the more I hear about it the more it confirms they want out

The comments from TF at the London Supporters Club forum suggests that SISU tried negotiation originally.]

The prospective new owners aren't exactly White Knights are they? If they were, they'd have surely looked to takeover the club when it was in a slightly better position, or is it different for them?

would be great if somebody else would take over the club and run it correctly, but if somebody would take over the club and run it properly and break SISU in the process now that would be excellent!!:):):p

The difference I would imagine is today they deal with an administrator 6 months ago it would have been SISU.

The last two attempts went well dealing with SISU
