If SISU want the matchday revenues why don't KCIC do this? (1 Viewer)

OMG now I've heard it all. Clearly some on hear and it saddens me to say so, have not got a clue about the world of commerce, the
commercial world or any business acumen what so ever.
I'm sorry but this need to keep finding reason's for SISU aka CCFC to accept an offer that is fantasy and not in any way can be serious is becoming laughable by the minute.

SISU kaa CCFC made a stance against the rent and income streams of the Ricoh arena. failed to get an agreement to suit and took the club away denying ACL income in the process. It was hoped the sides would see sense and negotiate which both failed to achieve. Both these egotistic sides dug their heels in to see who would break first. So far no one has developed any advantage.

The longer it goes the bigger the demands will be. ACL are just the management arm operating the Ricoh with the council 50% owners of ACL and they are also the freeholders of the Ricoh, for which they did not pay out £113m squids for buy lets not forget!

They offered reduced rents allegedly through third parties to CCFC but failed to do so long before this when the football club made clear the rent was too high. Without the football club as an anchor tenant the Ricoh loses value and ACL loses value. They need each other but the council do not need ACL. SISU know this but the council refuse to budge.

That's where we are at. SISU will not rent the pith again until they get more of the stadium income and prefer no doubt ACL were gone and a deal for the football club to rightfully claim it's place at the Ricoh is found. If there is a price the council want for this then how much? Lets hear it and lets see if SISU want to stump up the dosh for it.

No amount of KCik or whatever it is, armies on the hill or marches thru town with naked ladies will change that.
I said a long time ago the council have to find a way to keep the club at the Ricoh by offering some form of ownership which they deserve as the original instigators of the Ricoh and initial funding that went into it and not total disregard. Yes SISU have shown scant regard in the past and their actions now are highly questionable but they will not be owners forever but they can be rid of when they have a piece of the action the club deserves and then SISU as owners may leave and new owners arrive who would not arrive if we don't have a stadium.

I'm not a SISU lover believe me but as harsh as they have been see their point but the council and ACL refusal to budge on the rights of the stadium is just as unhelpful. I support my football club getting back to the Ricoh and to that end we must all realise it's not just SISU but the council. I don't expect the council to give it away but I expect them to offer it to the football club!

Great post!!!!

The trouble is SISU have had opportunities to buy into the Ricoh. Instead they have chosen to try and distress ACL. Which has eroded confidence and seeded suspicion.

Getting rid of the small shareholders at the outset and a contemptuous attitude towards the fans have increased the suspicions...about the integrity of their plans for the football club.

They need to show a desire to get CCFC back at the Ricoh. No chance with a JR appeal on the horizon.

when will you realise its not match day revenues its the Ricoh itself don't fall for the smokescreens

You miss the point - making this offer will challenge SISU to accept. They have recently stated that the extra revenues are the stumbling block - this offer would remove that. It is another way of smoking them out.

Clearly they would come out with the same old excuses "no proof of funds" ... "the people behind this are part of the problem" etc

I agree, get a watertight offer and go along with whatever they want. Don't give them excuses or make it easy.

As I said before, they say they want matchday monies so the offer should say:

"We know you want Matchday Revenue so we have done x,y and z which resolves this"

Their squirming attempts to offer a facade of justification are now laughable, but the excuses it would take to avoid the above would be beyond parody

The OP's suggestion isn't a serious business proposition, and nobody in their wildest dreams would expect SISU to accept it. That's the point - it highlights the absurdity of SISU's constant and tiresome claim that they just want matchday revenues for the club. I have no idea why they keep saying this - presumably with your business acumen you can explain?

That's not quite how Mr Justice Hickinbottom put it!
