According to his report, discussions that Appleton has had with parties regarding the ownership of assets will not be disclosed due to concerns of commercial confidentiality. Would suggest that different rules to a court case.

The example given is if Sisu win the case. I also think Nick replied with more dignity to 'No future with SISU' earlier post. An individual died as a result. Please think before posting. Point scoring is not important. We are all city fans and there have been calls for a more united...

I'd like to know if ACL had somehow arranged for the sale of the freehold to Sisu on agreeable terms, but this was presented and offered to the Administrator at the meeting to agree the CVA in a way that could be deemed unlawful under insolvency law, would Sisu and their lawyers have found a way...

Where is the evidence for the attempt and spectacular fail at forcing them out? They applied to the courts in an attempt to recover money contractually owed. ACL put forward an unsuccessful bid for the assets as part of a legal process of Administration overseen by an officer of the court...

There is a certain irony in this new request for this disclosure from a democratically elected body. Those Companies based in tax havens enjoy the privilege of non disclosure of documents, ownership and financial reporting in their business dealings that take place in democratic territories...

The Administrator stated in his Progress report that the 'Company’s accounting policies are complex and confusing' The documents released in my opinion confirm that the financial accounts appear to have been prepared in accordance with the wishes of the board since 1995, in accordance with...

And theres me trying to be fair and balanced. Bah!

'Independent evaluator'. Where do we find one of those? Who picks him/her. Who pays for their time and expertise? Imagine the answer to these two questions will be key in determining what 'value' is put on the Ricoh. Is it just the stadium, the whole site, the freehold and/or ACL that...

An unattributed piece on yesterdays events in parliament. Not that prominently positioned on the web-site, but it is there. http://www.coventrytelegraph.net/news/coventry-news/coventry-mp-jim-cunningham-calls-6228205

Absolutely. You can also increase profits by reducing costs. Increasing turnover will certainly help though.

Football grounds are only used around 25 days a year. Brighton & Hove Albion have just discovered this 'problem' and are following ACL's lead by applying for planning permission for a hotel and additional conference halls at Falmer. Its almost as though ACL and the council knew what they were...

Out of interest, why do you think that ACL would consider offering Otium a deal to play rent free and only cover match day costs whilst also allowing Otium a share of F/B? Are ACL directors allowed to subsidise another, separate and unconnected business in this way? It wouldn't add any...

You might be right - after all Les Reid is the local politics reporter. Ainsworth is only a locally elected MP talking about a local issue that has dominated the news over the summer.

Will be interesting to see which is given the most prominent coverage by local press - this protest or Bob Ainsworth's EDM/debate in parliament?

What's emotive about using information contained in a council released report now in the public domain? Had a private company constructed the stadium there would be very little information available for scrutiny.

You missed out the second question.

So you would consider those loans/grants/investments to contribute to the value of HR when considering the construction of the East stand? Do you consider the sale of the land to Tesco should be treated in exactly the same way when calculating a value for the Ricoh - all £59.5 million worth?

The football trust and M&B funded the majority of the costs to build the east stand

We need a judicial review into the state subsidising commercial ventures up in Manchester then... Oh! The sale of naming rights is a little contentious in this case, considering they were sold to the airline ran by the family that owned the club. Not sure Platini was too impressed! Good...

Cost of construction? Sale price?
