I thought Ricoh would've been the main reason?
The football club is the only reason it's called the Ricoh and is the only reason the place exists. Without it it's one huge white elephant. Sisu (probably fisher) has woken up to the fact.
ACL can't work it without them. We are not homeless so who gives a stuff about the past.
Well I don't think they are gassing anyone.
The club should always have been able to purchase the ground for the mortgage value as they are the only reason it will ever work. You admit this
Other councils have rolled over. I have always said that the current arrangement destroys the club. I'm not saying sisu ate the answer but if the outcome is that ACL are bought down and the council ate forced to surrender the share I have no sympathy and it will be to the clubs benefit. That's all I care about.
But as I have said ACL have invested several million pounds in improvements to the stadium and would obviously make a larger profit without investing more on infratucture, so they don't desperatley need CCFC.
It is the council that are desperate because if ACL they issue the winding up order they are worried about bad press/ votes
Logically business wise I would say wind us up ..........but obviously that is not what anyone of us wants
This is where Grendel and I are in full agreement - without CCFC, ACL are up shite creek without a piece of candyfloss, never mind a paddle
Going forward they will make no money the accounts show that. How do "improvements" generate revenue and profit? Factor in the loss of sponsorship revenue and catering income without the CCFC badge and what will they make then? Answer is nothing.
Name one outdoor stadium that makes any money with no sporting club? White elephant - try White Ciry.
They will give in to what sisu want they have no choice.
The improvements have already been done to generate more business for ACL so they will not have to invest more money next year so they will make more profit. That profit already being generated will offset £500,000
They already did.:facepalm:That's ok then. They clearly have the upper hand. That profit doesn't have CCFC as a creditor owing £1.2 million and also must factor in the pulling out of Ricoh as the sponsor and also the catering company.
They hold the balance of power. Let them take the club to court then.
They already did.:facepalm:
So if it is unlikely that you can make money out of a football club.
SISU claim to have invested 40 million into CCFC.
They have not affiliation, loyalty or moral obligation to Coventry.
There primary aim as a hedge fund us invest and get quick profits.
How do they do that with Coventry.
I'd have thought the next step from ACL would be to change the locks on the doors at the Ricoh to focus a few minds.:thinking about:imp:
At least it means life is never dull supporting the club.
Still think ill get in on New Year's Day,
Me too looking forward to it,like most games currently.We owe em bigstyle.
Personally, I would love to see ACL lock the club out of the Ricoh, even if just for a couple of days, if it serves as a wake up call and gets SISU playing ball.
Wow... Do you seriously support CCFC?!
Yes..that's why I want to SISU get what's coming to them

cjparker, are you a fan of ccfc or a troll..or on a wind up?
Getting the RICOH, but more importantly, securing Premier League status.

It doesn't damage SISU though, only CCFC.
Why would you support an action that would bring complete humiliation to the club!?
