I was kinda hoping for Wonga to be our new sponsors. Icing on the bloody cake!

good deal for the club, embrace technology
How is it a good deal for the club? The cash deal signed with City Link in 2010 was the biggest ever in our history.
Now, it appears we're doing it for free, in exchange for a couple of laptops an some fancy software; which will seemingly have zero financial benefit to the club.
Fisher keeps on telling us it's about revenues. How does this stack up against that narrative?

Exactly mate, makes a mockery of the FFP argument.
its a good deal in terms of where we are at right now, we get to use their technology that we couldnt afford normally. city link sponsor was at a time we were at ricoh.
i didnt say sisu are great all of a sudden. but its prob best we can hope for this season.

where we are now is a self imposed position though, we should be pointing out and criticising every time this self imposed, ludicrous, nonsensical and downright foolish position causes the club harm. We shouldn't congratulate them on making the best out of a shitty situation, we should be demanding they end the shitty situation, it is and has always been completely in their power to do so.
I'm sure businesses particularly Coventry based ones would be falling over themselves to be associated with bringing the club back to Coventry.
True. Perhaps Elliot's and Tallon pens can scrap over who gets the name on the shirt.

but we are where we are. a council that tried to kill the club out of greed and owners who make very poor decisions.

Where does the money go that goes to the greedy council?
Many people have been asking that for years long before this fiasco started!
not the informed people.
Obviously I for one don't have your insight.
no judges ruled on extortionate rent.
they didnt comment on extortionate rent no.
16 MR JUSTICE HICKINBOTTOM: I'm still not yet absolutely
17 convinced how important this will be to the issues 18 I have to determine. But commercially, ACL were in 19 a commercial mess. 20 MR THOMPSON: Yes.
21 MR JUSTICE HICKINBOTTOM: They were in a commercial mess
22 because the football club were not paying the licence
23 fees and rents that legally they ought to have been 24 paying.
25 MR THOMPSON: There were two reasons, my Lord. The reason
1 1 why the rent was set so high was because ACL had paid 2 off the entirety of the lease by paying £21 million
3 in June 2006 with a back-to-back deal with the bank, so 4 they had a debt of £22 million.
5 MR JUSTICE HICKINBOTTOM: Yes. I understand that.
6 MR THOMPSON: That was why they were forced to charge
7 what was, by any comparative standards, an extortionate 8 rent.
9 MR JUSTICE HICKINBOTTOM: I understand that. I understand 10 why the rent and the licence fees were so high. But 11 those were the contractual rent and licence fees -- 12 MR THOMPSON: Yes.
13 MR JUSTICE HICKINBOTTOM: -- which the club were bound
14 legally to pay, subject to renegotiation, but they were 15 legally bound to pay them. 16 MR THOMPSON: Yes.
