ACL/Council have to call SISU's bluff...simple as that.
Their current stance is simply unaccpetable.
They must show their resources, accounts, business plans and intentions for our club before they make any demands of their own.
Do you honestly believe that they have earned any right to command such a position and make such threats....previously to the loyal CCFC fans, and now, the ultimate insult, to the good folk of Coventry????:thinking about:
Your support of SISU - both past, and now present - is really becoming an embarrassement, mate.
I suggest that you think before you post such drivel - or don't post at all.:facepalm:
What will it take for you to realise that SISU are raping the club...and now the city????!!!
Do you live in Cov? No.
So how can you speak for the Cov taxpayer???? :thinking about:
(I'm now waiting for the notice that I am banned.....:slap
the acl/council should simply call the club/sisus bluff and simply say if u dont pay you will have to find somewhere else to play next season, god it shows how much hurt sisu have caused when we all seem to be on the council and arenas side against the club. this tim fisher seems to be playing the game of getting the fans onside against the council but it aint working, the council have cov in their hearts but sisu and fisher aint, where did ray ranson find these mugs, ill never forgive him for bringing sisu onboard
The council doesn't give a stuff about the football club.
The irony is you and most on here who are now so moral would probably never have said that about Fletcher, Elliot, Robinson and co. yet they also could not have been paying the rent, in the end they weren't paying anyone. The club was all but sunk. Just because Fletcher and Elliot had a face made them no better, they were incompetent with a "business plan" centred on attracting 22,000 adult paying customers just to break even.
The only drivel I can read is coming from posts under your username. Is someone hacking your account?
Believe me, I am fully aware of their role in this mess....however, the current owners took the OPTION to buy the club and all that went with it.
As business-people is this what you expected them to deliver when they took over in 2007????

What part of that is drivel?
Oh, yes, the Cov tax payer shouldn't bail out a London based hedge fund....that must be drivel I wrote.
Look, sat in the ivory towers of Warwick asking Cov tax payers to fund a £500-750k shortfall is very easy to do......isn't it? Or is that drivel as well???:facepalm:
Considering no other board has "delivered" in the last 25 years then no I didn't expect anything. .
Sisu are an incurable Cancer.
The club is dying with them still here.
Getting rid of them, even with administration, is a kind of experimental drug that will either kill us or cure us.
Those who think that we have to 'get behind them as their our only option' are only delaying the inevitable. Whist I can understand why no one would want to see the club fold, I'm afraid its going to happen at some point. The quicker it happens the better.
Please explain to me what the Cov tax payer is going to have to pay? ACL has nothing to do with the community charge or any other local taxation.

So in 2007, when Ranson/SISU took over, you thought "Well, we'll be in L1 and on the bones of our arse even worse than it is now."?
Come of it, sonny.....:thinking about:
If the rent is lowered, are you telling me - and think about this - that this will have no affect on the Cov tax payer???? :facepalm:
Wasn't it incurable 4 years ago - they were the cure then?
The sooner ACL pays off its loan the sooner the Council and the Higgs trust can start taking a dividend. So by not paying the rent Sisu are delaying future income for the Council.

I expected zero improvement - until "fans" get behind the club in significant numbers (Norwich, Southampton etc.) we will always be where we are.
Not in the short to medium term. Once the £20m mortgage is paid off, then the share holders may start to ale dividends out of ACL. At the moment they take nothing out of ACL.

Forget improvement...we have got MUCH worse....did you expect that?
Did you expect mismanagement such as players being allowed to leave on free transfers?
Did you expect endless managers to be lied to...and the fans?
Did you expect near relegation within 18 months of SISU taking over?
Did you believe the '...we will never be in this position again...' comments at Charlton?
Did you think we would achieve the 4-year plan to be out of this league by exiting it by the wrng end????
I don't think you did....in fact, many say SISU as our saviours - even urging fans to give up their shares for free...some called them disloyal if they didn't.
So, please do not insult my intelligence by stating that you thought SiSU's stewardship would lead to this......
If you link support with success then the club owes the fans big time.
2007/8 season 10th best supported team, finished 21st.
2008/9 season 13th best supported team, finished 17th.
2009/10 season 12th best supported team, finished 19th
2010/11 season 12th best supported team, finished 18th
2011/12 season 15th best supported team, finished 23rd.
The fans are not to blame.
It's all thorns fault according to kduffy.
I cannot even be bothered to argue if you are going to attempt to say the club is well supported. The Ricoh grew attendances which have naturally returned to the pitiful 14,000 we had at Highfield Road. We didn't even sell out as a Premier club. This argument is not valid.
