£400k rent was offered and half catering money on matchday

ACL have tried to do a deal

club turned this down.... Tim Fisher was the one CCFC director out of the 3 who vetoed the offer. Other 2 directors accepted offer.

Joy Seppala has been speaking directly with Council leader over last few days

Surely if fisher was out voted they should have gone with it?

I am not sure how it works.

Those who say a compromise that suits all parties.
Should consider what TF is up to.

He said that if we don't go up he doesn't get paid simple as that.

Maybe the sacking of the manager (IMO)
Or the delay in getting a new one leading to 5 straight league defeats. May have him thinking he won't be seeing his money.

Then if he secures,a fantastic deal for SISU on this he can still bring a ball back to joy.

Does that offer sound unreasonable?

66 % reduction in the rent and 50 % of the catering.

I have every sympathy with Fisher. He is having to struggle on with only his base salary and expenses. I don't know how he can be managing. £150,000 a year for a two/three day week. His children will have to go down the mines to help the family out.

ACL have gone from £1.2m to £650k and then £400k

Everytime ACL have offered this to SISU, Fisher says £200k

Fisher and SISU are not budging on what they will pay

Interesting there is talk that it's well known by higgs, acl and council that SISU are trying to bring ACL down and by being the main creditor to CCFC through ARVO they will stake a claim to the Ricoh on the cheap.

Click to expand...

yeah i think because our playing budget is high... if we went in to administration they have to pay the players wages before anything else.. thefore wont be able to afford to pay acl leaving acl with 1.1m loss which could make them go in to admin then sisu buy the stadium for less then its value...
Who knows though all guesses and rumours.

Hi Guys

Long time reader, first post.

Sad times at the moment. Seems a few people on the board seem to blame ACL for playing hard ball with Sisu over this. Quote from ET tonight:
Lynnette Kelly, Coventry City Council’s cabinet member for city development, broke the council’s ruling Labour group’s recent silence by claiming Sisu did not share the council’s original regeneration vision for the Ricoh project, including hotels and leisure development.
She added: "We can’t use public money to support a football club. That would be immoral, and possibly illegal.
"If people don’t pay council tax, we send the bailiffs in. We don’t control what ACL directors do, but they are in a situation where somebody owes them a lot of money."

Pretty clear that the council, and by proxy the ACL, aren't going to budge any further on this. Think it is safe to say that ACL have been pretty fair in their negotiations so far. The initial agreement maybe not so much, but business is business and SISU more than knew what they were signing up for. A shame they are both playing hardball with each other in the media to try and gain support. Worrying times ahead. PUSB

On the 200k figure that people are saying the club want to pay.

Hasn't it been said it costs 10k running costs to run the stadium on the matchday, if so 200k doesn't even cover the running costs for the season. Unless it is 200k on top of running costs for each game which I guess would would be ok

I sometimes think that the people who are around that table (if there even is a table) are not empowered to make decisions there and then. With this in mind it results in lots of backwards and forwards in discussions with an outcome never really in site. A drop in rent such as that mentioned in this post seems like a massive shift in where we are today but if it was down to me then the sliding option against attendance is more favourable which puts the empowerment back in the hands of fans.
