The Labour Party or Lib Dems?
Or maybe UKIP!! I reckon Nigel Farage would sort it all out in an instance!
SISU knew all along the ricoh wasn't for sale as this is 100% why they didn't put in a bid for it. Crafty gits. They want as cheap as possible lease/rental deal and then move back after 1 year in time for 14/15 season in my opinion. Sixfields was just a stop gap to fulfil their fixtures and get a better lease/rental deal.
If it's rental deal or nothing then we probably do need to move on and build our own ground.

Tell me why please. What's up with long leasehold with low rent and access to revenues?
Just astonished by this organisation.....I agree with all the comments on here from real sky blues fans. They can't sell the freehold due to 40 year contracts still to run and all of the above. Plus makes no sense as sisu wouldn't offer a real amount and apparently according to AL sisu knew this all along and I agree with her that sisu knew Ricoh wasn't for sale ever.
Sisu have finally been caught out and now have to either eat humble pie as the user above mentions or build their stadium and I'm 100% this won't happen. No financial sense at all as we all know.
ML sounded like a stumbling little kid this morning as I listened live. Kept going on about the Ricoh and then more talk about the Ricoh. What a loser. I thought the ship has sailed and we have moved on. Yes ok ML it's the 15th jan and you're still on about the Ricoh. Pathetic cretin
Absolutely nothing, but unfortunately some people cannot see the wood for the trees.

As well as being ethically bereft, it would appear the majority-certainly those that do their PR-are a load of bungling incompetents.
I would really, really like to see an answer to this - someone please give it to me.
It appears to me the best compromise situation would be for CCFC to have a long lease, with access to all revenues - by perhaps buying/merging with ACL to unite incomes; and CCC playing a role in a settled negotiation with Compass for the balance of the catering contract. With the club united with the incomes of ACL and Compass; what's the necessity for a new stadium, or the freehold at the Ricoh?
Someone tell me please......
Sisu are only after one thing, The ACL contract of running the stadium, thats the only thing that makes any money, and they tried to stress them so they could get it on the cheap, now thats backfired so they try to blackmail CCC by taking CCFC away, but now the council have called their bluff . Over to you SISU build your stadium but they wont , they are hoping the JR will go their way so they can aquire ACL still, but i hope if they do win ( doubtful ) that ACL sell to someone else
PUSB
isn't this the deal they walked away from 18 months ago?Sisu are only after one thing, The ACL contract of running the stadium, thats the only thing that makes any money, and they tried to stress them so they could get it on the cheap, now thats backfired so they try to blackmail CCC by taking CCFC away, but now the council have called their bluff .

no they walked away from buying the Higgs half of the stadium not who runs it
Tim Fisher at the Shareholders meeting made it quite clear that SISU/Otium want total control of the Ricoh Arena. They want the freehold and he made it crystal clear he would expect that the Council get rid of ACL, and any other contracts that were ongoing. For the Council to sell the unencumbered freehold would probably costs the council a huge sum of money in compensation.
How does he expect the Council to "get rid of" ACL though? Surely the Higgs have a say as equal partners. Or does he expect the Higgs to take the loss as well?
It just strikes me that Fisher and Joy ask for things they know are impossible in an attempt to put pressure on the Council.
They should just stop fucking about, take a return on reduced rent as a win and go about negotiating for the revenues.

Sorry you've got that wrong. Higgs own 50% of ACL, the management company. The council own the stadium 100%.
was Labovich questioned at all about the new ground?
Does anyone know of a podcast or link to the interview?
I would love to hear it in full .
No idea what time Labovich and Lucas were on so you might have to skip through to find them.
8mins in for Labovich, 7 mins in for the start of the segment.
