1-1 Moussa

Nobody know how they are funded, I would have thought it less likely that they would go cap in hand to potential investors looking for those specifically interested in a new ground. Not that i believe this would be part of a plan anyway.

Jacksonville and Fulham, same owner.

I would not have thought that SISU have the in house property development expertise, it is not their area. They would need to partner with someone who has. Now I find it hard to believe they would want to do all of this, but 60 acres with development potential will not be cheap, I have no idea...

What sort of return can you expect to get on a 25m new stadium for CCFC? Would that rate of return interest a hedge fund?

I just do not understand the financial logic for a 3rd tier club to build a new stadium. A figure of 25m has been mentioned, a quarter of the cost of the Ricoh and that was a few years ago. Where is the return? I can see some of the logic for Premiership clubs with the much larger revenue...

And then finding someone to buy it from them at a profit.

I do not see how SISU can win, maybe reduce their loses. The Club can not be worth very much, hardly any assets, presumably the biggest one is the golden share. Whatever you think of SISU they have 'invested' a large sum. I would have thought that the best case scenario would be to get out...

I doubt if the Council could sell it at below open market valuation without all sorts of other issues popping up.

What would it then be worth to sell on? SISU are not long term investors.

I would add the successful business aspect does not necessarily involve a successful CCFC, that would be a bonus.

What would your damages be?

After 30 years at Highfield Road, the first time I went to Ricoh, well if someone had told me were outside city limits I would have believed them.

Well lets be positive, so far no suggestion of a MK Cov? The team will eventually it seems come back as long as liquidation can be avoided.

Presumably they would need to settle the current rent arrangement?

That seems the only obvious sensible out, there may be development opportunity at the Ground that would help.

If SISU had been able to get promotion and cash out, all would have been good. Perhaps we could have got an Owner like others have done who does not see it as a money making venture.

Everything I have read about Joy suggests it is all about the bottom line, not personal. To know whether what she is doing makes sense, you would need to know the plan they have.

The Club is an ephemeral item, I think most people know it but trying to pin it down is difficult, certainly not the Owners or the Directors. Not even the Stadium as those change, I did have my doubts leaving Highfield Road. But most seem happy to move to the outskirts into something shiny and...
