I expect them to at least give the Higgs Charity the money that the Higgs loaned CCFC. I don't give a shit about the council. You do not rip off a charity to get your investors millions .

They never loaned it them! They bought the clubs 50% stake in ACL, so they invested in a stadium operating company

They helped the club out of the shit in a hour of need then , when nobody else would , with an agreement that CCFC would buy it back . I would say the 50% was collateral on the loan .

So in theory CCFC are actually part owners of ACL. Sweet.

They should be but SISU never took the option up and then fucking liquidated CCFC and now look where we are . They only had to give them the money back for the 50% . It would have cost them a lot less in the long run. Short sightedness or part of the master plan . Who knows , but I know one thing . Us fans have been royally fucked over in the last six years.

We've been fucked over far longer than that mate.

Yes, but Sisu had a chance to change that.

I agree, they've just added to the wankfest.
Can see why people are giving up. Very very sad.

We won't know the financial health of ACL or SBL or Otium until the accounts are published. Unless you are outing yourself as someone with inside knowledge of any of the firms listed.

Well I suppose we'll see when the accounts come out - although all those exclamation marks, maybe it is a fact and I'd missed it.
Actually, if you'd have just said "FACT" or "END OF" at the end of your post, I suppose I'd have known for sure.
In the meantime, remind me again, how much are SISU proposing to spend on the new 12,000 seat arena?

New 12000 arena
Still makes me wince.

For a mere £25m (I'll help BA out here, he seems to have forgotten). But the 32,000 seat Ricoh's only worth £7m, apparently.
Mind you, small places in the countryside miles from anywhere can cost a bit more than large places in the City - maybe that's how it works.

This years accounts will tell us nothing regarding ACL's future.
You've been away for a while James. Have you been preparing the media piece around them?

Ahh, forgot you have the inside track on all things ACL don't you, are you sorting Mystic Sally?

Only when I'm not busy being Tim's Viagra.
Problem with Sally is she always seems to know what is coming next.

Isn't that the same same for any accounts. Unless you are Psychic Sally?

It includes the Olympics money, rent from the club and the club as a permenant resident. The situation now is very different. Put it this way they have to be positive or else.....

Exactly - £500,000

A new hotel, train station all make sense for developing the conference side.
Shame Sisu's actions have alienated CCFC from benefitting from this development.

I thought it was more 3.5m?

I take your point
This site never belonged to the council. It was purchased by developers who have been dithering about exactly how they are going to do with it!

Apologies - they've allowed the demolition and the site to remain an eyesore, suppose they have limited power mind. It seems to happen a lot in Coventry.
Not that the empty tax office was anything to look at.....
I think they're going to use the site as a plant store for the Friargate work
No future with SISU

The old sorting office is a private developer and has ground to a halt as the finance is not available. Axa had hold of the land on bishop st/lamb st.They sold the offices to a local firm who have got a loan of the council to convert the blocks into student use.Private firm own the market and the vacent land.What houses on greyfriers rd, the place is all offices/Flats. The council next big project is the friarsgate, if you live in coventry you will notice it.

Maybe the old dears who will be thrown out of the closing care homes because of the cuts can go and stop in the new hotel?
