That's fair enough. I've taken SISU's disgusting business strategy personally and want to see them gone. I would find it hard to return under them, even if it was back at the Ricoh.
I have maintained the same stance for ages.. I want the Football Club and the Arena to be united under the same ownership, now I would prefer that be Haskell or perhaps a Byng consortium however if it has to be SISU then so be it, it has to be done to ensure the clubs future.
I haven't knocked I have just said the aim is surely to get us back to coventry?
I think the way both sides have acted now means that neither can back down.
It would be a PR disaster for the Council if ACL now goes under. I think they will back ACL to the hilt.
Also Higgs can now potentially sell their half off to a private company, a company which might have plans to dramatically alter the Ricoh. (Not saying that will happen, just putting the idea out there)

If he was able Jimmy Hill would be on the hill with those wonderful loyal fans, fighting the cause.
Nick, for a guy who put up a CCFC fan's forum you are remarkably a sit on the fence, pour cold water on any fan initiative kind of bloke. Forget the objective stance, the club is fighting for its existence and you are so lukewarm it so depressing.
Robbo, well you would tell us day was night. You defend the undefendable at every turn.
And just what will Sisu 'win' Robbo?
A club with no fans.
You are truly one total defeatist.
Exactly and SISU have already said they are willing to build a new stadium, now I am not saying they will but it shows their intent is there if two years into the five CCC end up selling the Arena you can expect SISU to get it.
I respect that however if this ends up being a waiting game that these two parties play next SISU will win..
I just think they would be aware of that, and would only sell to someone with no connections to Sisu at all.
Who knows what will happen.
I guess it will come down to two things. Who has the most money, and willingness to keep spending it.
The Council will have far greater financial resources at their disposal over Sisu, however just how much of this can be used is dependant on how it plays out with the electorate.
I respect that however if this ends up being a waiting game that these two parties play next SISU will win..
Yep, if it comes down to who has deeper pockets then unfortunately it'll be SISU.
I just wish they'd write this off as a bad investment, but Sepalla is too stubborn for that. I can't put up with years more of SISU; I'd rather we went though all the hurt and got rid of them; even if it did mean another relegation. Anything to get rid.
Why will they win have lost 90% of there customers ,95% of there sponsors 98% of trust from everyone so if they win one big deal only the fans more......
lose
The area further towards the railway station, is St James End, known locally as Jimmys End. The area around the ground, and surrounding retail, is known as Sixfields.But thatb is it's actual name the whole area is called jimmy's corner I believe check it out?
Robo "I'm not saying they will build a stadium but it shows their intent"......hahaha you should be an MP what a contradiction within the same sentence....they have not shown any intent....they have shown the Football League Funds?..to build a stadium or to enter lengthy litigation with them? Football League sat back on the fence.
Robo open your eyes by reading some economics.
Robo I am in dialogue with the FL over their rules...they can't even evidence them to me let alone SISU. But more of that later.
Robo SiSU threatened to challenge the FL over the difference between their rules and company law. The FL ran a mile.
People on here zoom in on gravy and overlook the meat of the argument!
..
I have tried reading both sides of the argument however things are muddier than before IMO.
Let me try to recalibrate you.. on another thread Grendel wrote:
My view is they(SISU) are going to do nothing for a year and see if that has been sufficient to close down ACL. If not then two choices - closure or build the ground with the former being most likely.
....and against the backdrop of that ultimate unthinkable gun to the head strategy, SISU/OTIUM still find favour with some?
I just cannot get passed that and try as SISU those with a empathy might, they will not convince me of any other.
SISU have had a plan to acquire the Ricoh as cheap as possible from the get go- my opinion I accept- but as this unravels, and the acceptance as found above by Grendel and others that it's either ACL out via distress tactics or curtains for CCFC reinforces my opinion further still. SISU have played Russian Roulette with my football club in an effort to secure their own financial gain; what else would a hedge fund do I hear you cry? - you are right, I like many others perhaps have been naive- but its an emotional drawn failing based on my life long love of CCFC. They have exploited that human failing to this point and continue to do so with the ludicrous move to Northampton when there IS an alternative.
Yes I accept that ACL etal have had a part to play in this sorry affair.. but to once again to paraphrase Orwell.... "both sides are to blame, but some are more to blame than others".. and for me that is SISU. They will never have my support
Lets take a step back,
City in the championship before the rent dispute was public. Poor old Andy Thorne gets his squad stripped...we have to cut costs. Everyone was sympathetic but we knew it would end in relegation.
Then in league 1 fisher threatens liquidation we are still losing money. administration......Sisu put themselves in to it in the end and wrote a load of debt off where it suit and created debt where it suited..buy themselves with a partially liquidated company with no funds...then SISU funds kick in
1 we can sue the Football League
2 we can sue CCC
3. We can afford to move to Northampton
4. We can sustain the losses for many year
5. The Football league have seen the funds
We are in league1 because SISU put us there, not ACL or CCC!
Why? To reduce admin costs while they followed a deliberate stratergy to distress ACL....aim Ricoh on the cheap!
If people cannot see the stratergy, understand it, read between the lines of SISU propoganda.....you really are thick and have no understanding of business.
They have shrunk the overheads and beefed up the revenue streams to themselves....they are NOT loosing as much money as you think....they are treading water.
Joy "I am only interested in my family and my investors" feeling the lov Sky Blues Fans?
Because Sixfields is not in Coventry, We are playing in Northampton, far away home, why should we then start to acknowledge parts of Sixfields/Northampton as any part of our history especially referring parts of the ground to a man who is known as Mr Coventry..
We should aim to get more on the hill than in the ground - that would make a big statement.
Why, after a day of such positivity on and off the pitch, do you and Nick pursue such a pedantic and probably inaccurate line of reasoning?Because Sixfields is not in Coventry, We are playing in Northampton, far away home, why should we then start to acknowledge parts of Sixfields/Northampton as any part of our history especially referring parts of the ground to a man who is known as Mr Coventry..
Yet you would still tolerate/endorse them obtaining the Ricoh?The thing is selling it to Haskell for example, it has been rumoured for 4-6 weeks, yet nothing has happened.
I wouldn't speculate regarding who has the money to throw at it, but with regards to SISU there so sneaky and so underhanded it wouldn't surprise me if they found away.
I'm in a bit of a dilemma here my oldest boy who is 7 next week and he is adament he supports cov, and I promised that I would take him to his first game when he is 7 , now I want sisu out and agree with NOPM, but what do I do, ps money is tight so really can't travel !

Yeah I think I was about that age when I went to my first away game which may well have been Villa.What about a local ish away game like walsall?I'm in a bit of a dilemma here my oldest boy who is 7 next week and he is adament he supports cov, and I promised that I would take him to his first game when he is 7 , now I want sisu out and agree with NOPM, but what do I do, ps money is tight so really can't travel !
