SISU don't want to rent. The council don't want to sell. Returning to a rental agreement would get us right back where we started. A football club with no assets other than the players, that no future buyer would want to touch. It would suit us fans because we'd be back playing at the Ricoh...

so if there's no sugar daddy, how do coventry survive in a stadium where the only revenue they receive is from ticket sales?

And where is coventry citys equivalent? Bryan Richardson?

Anyone who has ever invested into a football club has only been interested in a healthy return. Any new buyer of Coventry Football club will only be interested in a healthy return.

Are SISU not also trying to protect their asset? The football club?

The players deserve better than playing games in front of completely boycotted ground. The biggest reason why I prefer that fans chose one game to attend rather than completely boycott is that it's a positive form of protest. It sends a positive message to the players that they haven't been...

These are perfectly valid comments, but if SISU (or any other owner of our football club) continued to pay the level of rent they were, they'd just continue to rack up the debt. Which is hardly the best way to run a football club either. And as for the council having the best interests of the...

If it were a balanced article, it would identify the role that the Council, ACL and our previous owners have had in our current situation.

Does this mean that ACL are in negative equity?

I think they should start by building a 60,000 seater stadium and then knock the bits down when they don't get used.

I'll take that bet

I am aware that ACL took the position it did on the CVA to persuade the club to come back to the Ricoh Arena as a condition of accepting the CVA and accept a rental offer of £150,000 a year. To persuade, that's an interesting way of putting it...

So I'm not helping pay for player wages or to pay pressley and his staff? So that we can continue to watch a team playing great football for the first time in years?

So what is the alternative plan? Return to a rental agreement at the Ricoh? How much debt will the club accrue from a rental agreement where the club gets no benefits from parking and corporate sales? Will CCFC be able to finance it? Five years down the line, bigger debt and still don't own a...

I can assure you I am totally at ease with my conscience and I have no sense of guilt going to sixfields. To my mind the club has made an effort in this predicament to making the club accessible to to it's present and future customers. I pay £2 to park my car at the ground within 100 yards where...

My only issue with many of these stories from fans, is that no one is physically preventing fans from going to sixfields. Everyone is busy blaming SISU for taking coventry away from coventry and taking a NOPM stance. At the same time they are being blamed for losing a generation of fans. Why...

I'd like to see the club benefit from some of the additional revenue from the stadium. But for that to happen i think you would need at least to see some kind of partial ownership to ensure that money that comes from the stadium goes directly to the club. I just don't think that would be good...

There's a very simple reason why investors will put their money into ventures with SISU, and particularly the football club and that's because of the Premier League. One season in the premier league could pretty much wipe out any debt accrued over the previous years trying to get there. Getting...

I'd like to see a fans group try and work with the club rather than against it. That doesn't mean they have to support everything they do, but to at least be professional enough to ask the right questions of the club to make sure they really are doing the best things for the long term future of...

Nope, I'm not pissed off. No problem at all with offering ticket deals.
