OMG now I've heard it all. Clearly some on hear and it saddens me to say so, have not got a clue about the world of commerce, the
commercial world or any business acumen what so ever.
I'm sorry but this need to keep finding reason's for SISU aka CCFC to accept an offer that is fantasy and not in any way can be serious is becoming laughable by the minute.
SISU kaa CCFC made a stance against the rent and income streams of the Ricoh arena. failed to get an agreement to suit and took the club away denying ACL income in the process. It was hoped the sides would see sense and negotiate which both failed to achieve. Both these egotistic sides dug their heels in to see who would break first. So far no one has developed any advantage.
The longer it goes the bigger the demands will be. ACL are just the management arm operating the Ricoh with the council 50% owners of ACL and they are also the freeholders of the Ricoh, for which they did not pay out £113m squids for buy lets not forget!
They offered reduced rents allegedly through third parties to CCFC but failed to do so long before this when the football club made clear the rent was too high. Without the football club as an anchor tenant the Ricoh loses value and ACL loses value. They need each other but the council do not need ACL. SISU know this but the council refuse to budge.
That's where we are at. SISU will not rent the pith again until they get more of the stadium income and prefer no doubt ACL were gone and a deal for the football club to rightfully claim it's place at the Ricoh is found. If there is a price the council want for this then how much? Lets hear it and lets see if SISU want to stump up the dosh for it.
No amount of KCik or whatever it is, armies on the hill or marches thru town with naked ladies will change that.
I said a long time ago the council have to find a way to keep the club at the Ricoh by offering some form of ownership which they deserve as the original instigators of the Ricoh and initial funding that went into it and not total disregard. Yes SISU have shown scant regard in the past and their actions now are highly questionable but they will not be owners forever but they can be rid of when they have a piece of the action the club deserves and then SISU as owners may leave and new owners arrive who would not arrive if we don't have a stadium.
I'm not a SISU lover believe me but as harsh as they have been see their point but the council and ACL refusal to budge on the rights of the stadium is just as unhelpful. I support my football club getting back to the Ricoh and to that end we must all realise it's not just SISU but the council. I don't expect the council to give it away but I expect them to offer it to the football club!
Great post!!!!
