Quite why they think they'd be entitled to write off the backdated rent I've no idea.
It was in a different thread - but I am happy that someone else has come up with this point as I think it may well be the key to understand why they have turned down the offer.
its not the bargain you think they are after though SBT - but we will have to agree to differ on that opinion
There's a significant amount of chest-beating going on with both sides:
CCFC: We'll move somewhere else then
ACL: We're fine, we don't need 'em
Someone will need to blink first.
ACL would probably double it.

You can say the same about the rent ... why did they think they were entitled to a rent reduction?
But it seems they have gotten everybody to accept that the club should have a vastly improved rent deal - and so in a way there is 'some justification' in their first behaiviour (stopping the payment). There may well be some justification to a claim that the new rent should be backdated to when the club approached ACL first time.
Its a good job us Coventry taxpayers paid for a stadium though isnt it?
No-there is zero justification in the way the club have gone about their business. If we just pick and choose what parts of a contract we want to follow then it makes the whole thing redundant; there is nothing wrong with seeking a rent reduction, and negotiations exactly aimed at that took place in June. A reduction was offered, refused, and rent continued to be withdrawn in violation of the contract-the reduction could easily have been accepted as an interim solution whilst negotiations continued. The club, and the club alone, are the ones who have made this situation so damn hard for themselves.
Fisher wants to pay league one rent for a prem league stadium. He needs to wake up!!!

Fisher needs to realise the deal is done and the rent is what the rent is you cannot drop a league and expect others to lose out it doesn't work like that !!!

Fisher is a disgrace. There is a contract, sisu's failure to move the club forward means revenue has plummeted, instead of humbly going to ACL to request a contract change I.e. rent reduction they try and damage ACL's reputation and damage them financially.
ACL and the council are far more concerned about Coventry and its future than Fisher and sisu ever will. Something the sisu apologists should remember.
Here you are BSB a "fan" who clearly expects the club to keep blowing over £1 million a year unless they grovel to ACL.
Fisher should be begging for a reduction. Not acting like the club has some automatic right to it.

I suggest you re-read his comment.
Perhaps you could apologise then.

I expect the club to accept offers that are in its immediate interest.
Do you think any offer would have come if the club hasn't acted as it has done? The notion of humbly going to ACL is a joke.
It did-the club negotiated and got an offer in June.
An unacceptable offer and still unacceptably high.
I don't think the club should take that deal.
Even though it is a massive reduction, in my opinion it's still too high and not an amount the club can operate at.
