Kcic front bid to buy club (7 Viewers)

[skybluetony176]

No business would accept the offer as it stands.

The crowd will always be over 5,000, so how much rent will the club pay?

The ball that Michael has started rolling needs to be stopped, and then another ball, one with details on it, can be rolled.

No business would accept an offer to cover a large part of their operating costs from a third party with no risk unless they reach a turnover which means that they are capable of covering these costs themselves? Are you sure? I can't imagine that there's a director in the world who wouldn't at the least seriously consider this, presuming that their primary interest is making the business that they are in charge of successful. Which I'm pretty sure they are supposed to do by law.

Rent offer - As I see it you haven't offered them anything that they couldn't get from ACL themselves, so what am I missing that makes your offer more attractive?

So Mr know it all. How do you suggest we add value to the KCIC offer? I'm all ears.

Out of interest Tony, what do you think the average attendance would be at the Ricoh next season?

Over 5000 but probably not as much as 10000. So there's no risk for sisu.

What do you think the average attendance will be at suxfields next season if we're still there? Will it cover the rent cost even with the pie money?

 

[shmmeee]

Amazing watching the contortions some are going through to make out that we should stay in Northampton.

On what planet is this not a good deal for the club? It's literally no lose.

We all know there's only one reason to reject it and it's because you care not for the club, just for the property you're trying to swindle.

No one days we should stay in Northampton, Mr Council. Who said that?

 

[shmmeee]

I wasn't suggesting that KCIC pay all these. I was merely saying that while there is a clause in there for SISU to pay back KCIC if a certain condition is met, then it will probably be rejected and to back sisu into a corner then the "free" rent offer would need to be water tight so that they couldn't turn it down.

If gates are over 5k which they probably would be, then why wouldn't they do their own deal with ACL to come back? I think we all know the reasons why

Why?

When a 3 year old is screaming for a chocolate bar do you just give in?

Why are we tiptoeing around Sisu? It's a good deal for the club, it's an amazing deal for the fans. That should be all we care about. Pressure from all sides should be that we want CCFC home and this deal does that with no financial implications for the club.

I await a joint statement from SBT, KCIC and GCBTTR that the club should accept this.

So you think the club should accept?

Good stuff. Glad we're in agreement.

 

[skybluetony176]

The posters looking for ways for the KCIC offer to fail rather than contribute ways to add vavalue to it, Mr Sisu.

 

[skybluetony176]

That would be the logical step from any fans group. If sisu still reject it then they need to work together to get an improved offer on the table. We should not let sisu wriggle of the hook with this.

 

[stupot07]

What do you think the average attendance will be at suxfields next season if we're still there? Will it cover the rent cost even with the pie money?

So if we will be getting more than 5k and sisu will be paying the rent anyway, what's the benefit to the KCIC offer? Why is that better than just doing a deal themselves? To me it seems there is no risk to KCIC backers at they will be getting their money back.

You can ask about Sixfields all you want, we all know crowds will be shit, revenue will be shit, and we would be better off at the Ricoh.

Should sisu accept this offer? No, they should do a deal themselves to return.

The benefit? You mean aside from Coventry playing in Coventry? Unless you're happy with Coventry playing in Northampton?

Sisu have playing the FFP card for some time now (not that playing at suxfields will ever mean the club will be able to comply with that unless ARVO do share issues) this offer calls the FFP cards bluff, less than 5000 KCIC offer keeps the club in FFP rules, over 5000 the club will be able to do it for itself with ticket revenue. Hell over 10000 it may even make a profit for the first time in years given how streamline the club is now compared to how it was last time at the Ricoh. Who knows, we may get a real transfer budget for the following season, who knows that might lead to promotion and the extra revenue that would bring, who knows we might even be able to pay some debt of. But who would want that?

Like you say, sisu SHOULD do the deal themselves but the reality is they're not going to do it of their own devices. So WE need to do everything we can do to make that happen. It's OUR duty as loyal fans. At the very least the KCIC offer gives sisu and the FL less places to hide and puts pressure on them to justify their stance. Something neither of them have ever done.

It's the same offer already that has been rejected.

 

[Grendel]

The club won't accept. It's not an offer that's any different to one already offered. Therefore it's pointless.

If there is enough money from these businessmen to pay the rent they should pay it so its free. That's a different offer and difficult to refuse.

 

[Paxman II]

This is interesting that people actually believe that such a silly derisory offer makes any sense to SISU at all? It's a complete joke and the only positive is that it keeps the situation in the headlights.

Prepare for an onslaught from Mr Council and Tony the council Tea Boy.

That's only more reason to return then. Because they're never making a profit at sixfields either. If their not going to make a profit they may as well not make a profit in Coventry.

Now I've answered all your questions as fully as I can. Let's see if you can be kind enough to do the same.

Why do you think the club won't make profit if it returns to the Ricoh with the KCIC safeguard in place?

Because our turnover will be in the region of £6m, and for a start you've got the £2m interest charges, £4m administration charges, and £500k contribution to the Cat B academy, before you even consider rent, matchday costs, wages (all staff including stewards), travel, utilities, tax, agents fees, etc, etc). We can argue all we want about interest charges and admin costs (sheff united pay similar/slightly more than us) but they are there.

Assuming that crowd is more than 5,000 how much are these directors committing themselves to pay? I imagine you don't know, the same as no one does, so how can they accept the offer?

You're always bigging yourself up as some big hot shot who wipes their arse with £20 notes. How much are you going to add to the pot that these other business men have already pledged too?

As you move in better circles than the rest of us, how many of your fellow local business that you quaff champagne and smoke cigars with while telling each other how great you all are, are you encouraging to make pledges to the pot so it becomes a deal sisu can't refuse?

Or are you just going to hide behind your keyboard slating those that are making the effort to make something happen all the while just contributing to the mountain of evidence that you are just a wum and don't even support the club other than using it as a conduit to do what you are really are here for, to bash the council.

 

[Rusty Trombone]

Hello Mr Ears, one way if the backers are truly committed to putting up £1m would be to say we'll pay all the rent and match costs, no cost at all to SISU.

If that is turned down, which I believe it would be, then puts slightly more pressure on SISU, but ultimately if the FL don't step in we will have to wait until SISU's investors realise that they have lost their money.

SISU have already turned down a free rent offer, how is this any better?

I thought the interest wasn't real as it's not real debt according to sisu. And what's our turnover going to be at suxfields? At the very least playing at the ricoh will be damage limitation. The debt mountain (if it is in fact real, which I think most of us accept it is despite what sisu say) will not grow at the same speed as it will at suxfields. Surely that's another reason to play at the Ricoh for a CCFC fan, not an excuse not to?

It's called sixfields tony.

Any answers yet?

Are they the ones asking questions about it? Nobody is allowed to say anything but things that arse lick kcic etc , that's the rules and always has been.

If you question anything it means you want to stay at sixfields.

Then people wonder why sisu and the fl don't take our fans seriously...

 

[skybluetony176]

That may be so but it certainly sux. I'm assuming grendel isn't your real name by the way?

From sisu on the new ground and the clubs finances? Don't be stupid.

That's as bad as Michael with the.black or white approach. Don't agree with me so I'm just going to say pointless statements in return.
