Pros
Get the match day revenues.
Cheaper tickets
Better parking.
Puts pressure on ACL to negotiate a better deal with the club.
Stay away from the council whilst pursuing legal action against them
Cons
Club states it wants promotion (sure fire way to earn 5 million) Players admit it comes into their thinking whether to sign for Coventry or not. So on comparable wages Ricoh means you attract better players you get greater chance of promotion.
Crowds down to around 1500 so yes you get the match day revenues however that is less money than the lose in ticket revenues? Presumedly affects us for FFP.
Losing future Coventry fans the youth and those who are finding alternative things to do on their Saturdays.
The longer it goes on animosity is going to be greater against SISU so when we do eventually return this could have a negative impact on the swell on returning supporters.
ACL maintain they can survive without the club. The only positive if been at Northampton could be seriously hampered by this. If ACL can survive the bargaining position is not as strong.
The legal action seems to most to be futile and eventually most the costs will need to be paid back anyway this bargaining chip has diminished in the power it held 3 weeks ago. That was the time to negotiate.
In summary staying at Northampton is financial suicide I fail to see any logical argument for not negotiating now.
You can still offer to drop the legal action. You could incorporate the 590k into the deal. You get back in time for that Cardiff match and a near sell out crowd with the momentum the return will bring.
The squad gets a boost.
Wait till after August 7th or till the appeal is rejected what bargaining chip do you have then. The club that's it.?
Make the phonecall and make it now.
ACL if it comes, negotiations can bloody well take place including the 590k that's the point of a negotiation!!!!!!!!!!
