They shouldn't do anything. It's the clubs current and old owners fault for leaving the club in such a mess. The council shouldn't have to suffer for poor business. If it means moving to the Rugby ground or what not, then so be it.

I think they should double the rent so the club has to fold. Ha! That would be brilliant. SISU wouldn't be laughing then, would they? :thinking about:
so, where we are today is that the council are "some way off" lowering the rent, yet we are mearly weeks away from the ESCROW running dry.
Is there any danger of us not bein able to play at the Ricoh if we havent paid the rent in Aug ?
Bit concerned that Mutton has said they would put the rent up if we were in the Premier!
I know. I thought the rent was agreed at that price on the assumption we would make a swift return to the PL. Surely the council can see that £1.2m isn't sustainable even at Championship level.
I'm not sure there is any intention to lower the rent. He is just trying to come out of this smelling of roses. "There's no decrease, but it's not our fault"

Losing 500k a month or 400k makes no difference at all.
Unbelievable. No wonder the club is in a mess with "supporters" who want that.
Of course it does! You would save £1.2M a year. Coincidently, the cost of the rent.
To be fair, it isnt their fault.
They have met SISU and are looking to understand if its going to help redcuing the rent.

I am sure the council have said "show us how you can get to losing 50k a month whilst maintianing a competitive squad and we will reduce the rent by 500k a year to help you"
Yep. Previously he was saying the rent was 1.2 m or whatever it is no matter what division we are in. Now he's talking about upping the rent if we got to the Premier.
1.2m not enough then? :facepalm:
Pardon me for living in the real world. The money these club don't pay in tax etc is diabolical. It's money that SHOULD be being used on hospitals, police etc. why should we all suffer from one poorly ran football club?
The rent shouldn't be directly dependant on which division we are playing in, but a reflection of the income on matchdays.
In an ideal world yes - actually both of these options would work ok - trouble is the landlord has no influence over this at all and is at the mercy of the clubs management - can't see how this is remotely fair - it's not as if the ground is any better or worse depending on what league the clubs in

Think you are missing the point made, losing 400k a month is no more sustainable in the long term than losing 500k a month I think was the point. We would still be screwedOf course it does! You would save £1.2M a year. Coincidently, the cost of the rent.

Yea exactly so the council are saying they will only agree to it if the owners can find other ways of covering the other losses without damaging the squad further as ccfcway saidWell if I was running a loss making concern and I found a way of immediately reducing the cost by 20% I would see that as a step in the right direction.
