Of course the football league has the power - it decided the condition. Why do you care if ACL are entitled or not - why?

You would take the 300K off the original debt / compensation amount given by the administrator then recalculate the 27p in the pound offer which would mean SISU owe around £510K.
Not sure you can do that though. The 27p in the pound offer was never accepted so that figure of £590K doesn't really relate to anything other than it being an arbitrary figure the FL used. It certainly isn't a rent figure or an amount owed.

Can he lift sixfields out of Northampton with his magnetic powers and drop the stadium in the Coventry area?
That way we have a stadium in the Coventry area and sisu get to pay a fair rent for a shit ground.

Yes, please enlighten me too...so CCFC/SISU have done their bit and ACLs money is in some account and has to yet be paid to them, yes?
If so, who holds the keys to this account? Why has ACL not been paid yet?
Thanks for any guidance.

They are owed nothing having rejected the CVA. The only money owed will be determined by the "gutless" football league. Without them ACL wouldn't get one penny and would not be entitled to it.

.... Because it is the first step to get us back to the Ricoh ?
If you agree the new stadium will never be built then we will eventually be back at the Ricoh. There is no hope of that moving on until the debt is paid. Everybody agrees it needs to be paid it just needs to happen.
I assume you can work it out why SISU are stalling on this.
If you weren't wearing your SISU tinted glasses you would know that. Your hatred of everything to do with the council is blinding your judgement. I assume you are not a Coventry Council ratepayer.

You do wonder if this was the FL's ham fisted attempt at getting the parties together.

The league hold the keys and will decide who gets what. No threat of points deduction and no issue - which given ACL's statement yesterday - begs some questions.

Would you really be surprised if it turned out the FL had never told ACL the money was there?
I suppose at least ACL should be able to start negotiations now, right? Would be good if someone chased them for a statement after this.
It's been a while since the PR wars, I've missed it.

so whats the betting that following the FL board meeting 07/08/14 that the statement goes along the lines of "we discussed it, SISU explained and appealed it, we thought yeah why not, so we reduced the financial penalty".............. and the £590k was really a typo it should have read £5.90:facepalm:
Also wasn't there an assurance previously that the FL would sort it out after the AGM they had in June in Portugal. Cant help thinking they are playing for time hoping it will go away

That's quite a complement. Super heavy weight is an amateur boxing category and in Audley Harrisons last fight at that weight he won and took home the Olympic gold medal.

So the Club have placed the funding into the Escrow Account, so why don't the Football League just state to ACL that this payment will be given to them on the basis that we get a season at the Ricoh while at the time opening discussions on a long term arrangement?

No rush then, it's hardly an important issue is it?
Total disgrace and ensures another season away from home.
Shows they don't care about SISU paying the money over.
This is controversial but A C L should drop their hard stance taken yesterday and deal with the reality.
SISU have tied this issue into knots and the FA are in no hurry to untangle the knots.
A C L should talk to SISU immediately and use the owed money as part of the negotiations. They may have to swallow some understandable principles for the greater good even if nowhere near the 590k is offered by SISU.
SISU won't pay the 590k, that's a plain sad reality.
What's important is getting Coventry back to Coventry. Good for all, A C L,city of Coventry as a whole,Coventry City supporters. I really don't care about SISU but it's good for them too.
Come on guys compromise, A C L and SISU. Deal with reality.

No legal basis to do that though robo. The FL have no authority over ACL and cannot force them to accept any deal. The contract is between FL and Otium no one else. As such ACL might state that the £590k needs to be paid but there is no contractual relationship they can rely on to chase the payment. All they can do is pressure the FL to comply with its own rules and regulations. As we all know there in lies a problem because much of it is at FL discretion so can not be relied upon by 3rd parties

I'm sure a deal can be done, but it's asking a lot of ACL to say "forget all the money you owe us, that's all behind us, let's look forward"
What happens when SISU do it all again?

exactly they are not to be trusted I'm afraid, ACL know that, CCC know that, probably 80% of City fans know that.

This is just more evidence of what a complete bunch of bastards are running the club. Their incompetence is exceeded only by their barefaced cheek.
If the FL do their job properly it will serve Sisu right if there is another transfer embargo and 10 point deduction. Why can't they just pay what they owe for once?

Snozz, I'm hard line militant anti SISU by the way, maybe you not noticed in my previous posts? I hate SISU with a vengeance too on what they have done and tactics
Don't really like being told I post shit about trying to encourage something to get my club back home.
Sometimes you have to work with realities of the situation. SISU are not likely to pay 590K and the FL are hardly falling over themselves to force them to adhere to the agreement between SISU and the league regarding Golden Share.

Grendel ML also told us he was going to pay it personally to the council within the week when we met him?
How long ago was that now?
Don't take my word for it ask any of the other posters on here even one of your greatest fans was there.
Fuck me wouldn't believe him if he told me it snowed in Antarctica......

Funny how Sisu can use a third party ie The Football League when it suits them,but when a rent offer is put to them through a third party ie The Football League Its not a rent offer :thinking about:
