The way I read the Guardian article the offer is much more recent, perhaps the past few days or weeks. Zero rent and SISU still say no, tells its own story now.
"Say my name"!
you said it was :Not once did I mention a conspiracy.
Sisu, which bought a Championship club with eyes open, are perhaps overestimating their negotiating power to pressure a local council into ceding a public asset. The hedge fund are now Northampton Town's tenants, losing investors a further £3m a year, sending a small, very young squad into a League One winter. And the vast majority of Coventry City supporters are staying away, outraged that modern football has brought them to this.

Seems correct to me Nick !
Unfortunately Nick I despair about so many totally inaccurate 'posts' but in fairness do any of us really know many of the facts?
Politics are still getting in the way of the football though and what Steven & his brilliant Staff & young players have so far achieved IMHO!
It's no good looking back, we've got to move forward and embrace whoever owns our Club ( as supporters we don't get to select who owns us FACT! ). Just take a long hard look at what's going on up and down the country Hull, Cardiff, Newcastle, Blackburn ALL are unhappy with aspects of what their owners are doing to those Clubs!
I look forward with relish to our next game at Sixfields against Crewe and would urge everyone 'slating' our owners and boycotting to think again and look at the bigger picture, as it's those not attending who are missing-out on the best football I've witnessed for more than 15 years!!!!!!!!!!
Remember two other parties are equally to blame for our present plight, maybe even more responsible??????????
Let's not turn this into a Sixfields thread...

Why not?
Yes, it said
"So out of that post what is not correct?"
In which a couple of people answered?
Let's not turn this into a Sixfields thread...
No they didn't,they answered the article from their perspectiv not the post from Ccfcway there is a difference. So again I ask out of that post what is not correct?
The crowd will take it where it wants, i suspect - let's face it Sixfields is about as popular as leprosyLet's not turn this into a Sixfields thread...
NW your a sensible chap can you go back to my first post and give me a knowledgable answer?

Would if I knew it.
Does that mean I have to trawl the same old arguments to get to it?
I'll repeat what I wrote elsewhere if you like
He's one of the better journalists around wrt such things, and would be fine indeed if he delved a little deeper...
Can start by trying to find out what all this need for the freehold schizzle's about, and what this rent free offer actually was and to who and when.
But he's certainly someone I'd want to pay an interest in us.

" You know. You all know exactly who I am. Say my name"
And people posting in every thread saying "I wont go" is no better than RFC saying he wants to name his next kid Six Fields.....
Let's not turn this into a Sixfields thread...
That Bloke from the Airport?!!

Which post are you talking about? I am confused
We are talking about things in the article.
A great article would be one that starts from the start of the whole arena situation, with past owners, agreements, building of the Ricoh and then SISU coming in, then us moving out.
Maybe some of his statements are true but again the lack of real clarity from either side (and at times misdirection) has made things more difficult for anyone to follow.read the comment under the article by houch87, he sums it up quite nicely.
Gloves are coming off in the comments section under the article - Supporters Direct have posted the following
"Don't forget that SISU weren't interested until the finances started not to stack up after a period of pretty poor operation - when I presume that the gamble on top-flight football showed itself to be lost. When they 'woke up' to the issue - several years after they bought the club, last season - they just stopped paying the rent. Those are not the actions of anyone who was seeking a solution. Those are, as a judge said, the actions of someone trying to distress a company to get hold of the asset."
"Sorry @covsky but I couldn't disagree more with your comment about Les Reid at the Coventry Telegraph. He in fact spends far too much time levelling criticism at a democratically elected local council, whilst allowing the hedge fund a rather more easy time of it. A council that is attempting to prevent a hedge fund, led by a City of London regulator (Joy Seppala) with a track record of distressing assets from grabbing another asset on the cheap - which partly belongs to the City taxpayers remember - and in financially straightened times. They're right to do it, and most people would back their actions. Don't forget that just because they speak as the 'owners', that doesn't mean that they have the best interests that you or your local community, fans or others have. For a balanced view, read someone who is distanced enough from the issue to be able to grasp the facts in an unbiased, clear and authoritative way. Like Dave Conn perhaps?"
Couple that with OSB's latest post I think I have my answer, thanks fella's.
This one Sisu, which bought a Championship club with eyes open, are perhaps overestimating their negotiating power to pressure a local council into ceding a public asset. The hedge fund are now Northampton Town's tenants, losing investors a further £3m a year, sending a small, very young squad into a League One winter.
