    Playing devils advocate here.

    My original point (which seems to have got lost along the way), was to challenge this idea that a club needs to own a ground to be successful. Swansea are a very well run club yet have as many assets as we do. I can't help but think that the stadium situation is a smokescreen to hide poor...

    Yes, £1.2m was a high rent.

    You agree then that the variable rent that ACL offered would have been fairer then?

    We could have only been paying £400k.

    They may get something from F&B's and parking, that I don't know. They certainly don't get anything from non matchday events (conferences etc).

    Grendel, why didnt the club accept the offer of variable rent? Why did they not accept the offer of £400k rent? How are Swansea so well run despite not owning their own ground? Typical that your usual tunnel vision stops you from being able to see the point being made.

    <p> My point being that Swansea were paying in excess of £400k whilst being in league 1.

    Playing devils advocate here.

    I was just reading about the Liberty Stadium and Swansea City. Swansea moved to the Liberty at the same time as we moved to the Ricoh. Swansea are regarded as being one of, if not the best run football club in the country. Yet they rent their stadium, not own it. The Liberty Stadium is owned...

    Football Hooliganism

    I get my 'release' by watching at cheering on the team. Your right that football is tribal, the whole point is that the tribalism is done through sport so that we don't have to act like cavemen. Its supposed to be about Coventry & Warwickshire against the rest of the country, and what happens on...

    What income do CCFC have after Saturday?

    Is the transfer embargo on CCFC Ltd or CCFC Holdings though?

    What income do CCFC have after Saturday?

    Sisu's plan is to just muddy the water to the point that no one has a clue what is going on. Tim Fisher is currently hiding under a pile of coats hoping that somehow everything will turn out ok.

    surely it doesnt take this long to discuss an offer for the club?

    Also then we need realistic ideas about summer signings. If we get new owners then there won't be many signings (excluding loans) until next January.

    If SISU are still here next season...

    I don't think it would. New owners, yes you might have a point. Yes we would all be happy at them putting that money into the club, but would anyone believe that it wasn't just being added to the pile of debt? The fact is we now can't trust them, therefore whatever they do, even if it is...

    One thing is clear

    Very unlikely. ACL would become a subsidiary of CCFC (either Ltd or Holdings) as they have the expertise needed to put on non matchday events.

    One thing is clear

    I'm not suggesting you are a Pro-Sisu, however my opinion is that Sisu have blown their chance at running this club, just in the same way Geoffrey Robinson did. As for ACL, if they were acting as a proper business, they would have evicted the club by now, and we may have been expelled from the...

    Stuart Linnell

    Any good presenter will take the opposite view of whatever the caller is saying just to get that person to properly argue their point. The problem with Linnell is when he does that he has to try and win the argument. He should just provoke the caller slightly, then let them have their say.
