Some of that can be profit from selling of land and leases.
But you are assuming buying land at green belt prices and selling at development prices. It aint gonna happen.
In addition the assumption is that the stadium will attract business like the Ricoh, however demand will be minimal for a league 1 stadium out of town.
Its not going to happen..
All that is totally dependant upon exactly where this imaginary piece of land is.Say just for the argument that Otium bought a large chunk of land and only used 1/3 for the actual stadium.
Would it be unthinkable that someone would buy a long lease from Otium to set up a business?
And would it be unthinkable they would pay a lot more than Otium paid for that piece of land?
Since when did "economic sense", mean anything to Shitzu? We all know that if and when they build this imaginary stadium, Coventry City FC(or any other name) will not not own it. They will merely be tenants in the same way as they were at the Ricoh.

I'm sorry but Queen changed the course of Music with one Song. They then went on to produce albums of the stuff that did influence many bands that are in existance today.

& just to throw a spanner in the works;
Caravan - A Place Of My Own,
PUSB & the megalomaniacs out
My fave Caravan track is "The Dog, Hes at it again.
Is the Megolomaniacs reference a Black Sabbath one ?
Please no not like the Keepmoat what a horrible ground hated it when I went there got to be the worst new ground bar none
Nothing shows your reader how serious you are better than five or six exclamation marks at the end of a sentence.
I mention Queen and the whole thread erupts whilst I'm at work.
By the way..I know the song "Is called I want it all"..I was being ironic by quoting "days of our lives".
Queen ..fantastic band..sheer heart attack is a masterpiece...to say they just a singles band is just plain wrong.
Now I have to confess I like Marillion aswell :slap:
If you've never heard Clutching @ Straws..you really should
My current fave are Dream Theater ..if you think Queen was pompous...check Dream Theater Out..as musicians they could be likened to footballers.... they have Messi, Peli , Van Persie and Carl Baker in their ranks for sure.
How come the mighty Zeppelin didn't get a mention :thinking about:
Joy Division not for me ..but Siouxsie and the Banshees, Buzzcocks,Penetration , X Ray Spex all mighty fine.
Oh Yeah SISU OUT
There's 1 Queen song that I like and that's Too Much Love Will Kill You. It's the only one of their songs that has an emotional truth to it, although even that cranks up a bit on the chorus. They went for showmanship and commercialism over expression and artistic merit. On the contrary, emotional truth and expression seep out of every Joy Division song. Sometimes they're too much for me but I would always choose them over Queen, and would never ever put a Queen track on out of choice - they make my stomach turn.
Whilst the fact about each member of the band having four number one hits is impressive (in a sense), to me it says more about them understanding the mechanics of what makes a song a commercial success rather than what makes a song good.

Too Much Love was a composition by Brian and two others (non Queen) which wasn't written about Freddie despite the apparent links and was intended for the Miracle album. There can't be much doubt that the success of Queen was down in no small part to Freddie being the showman that he was. I was first introduced to them watching Live Aid (on a telly that now seems like the size of a postage stamp) and I was mesmerised they were so smooth polished and had the attention of the entire crowd. Of course I didn't know at the time they were the only ones* who had bothered to rehearse beforehand, so of course it was going to look better than those who hadn't.
For me Innuendo, the Miracle and Princes of the Universe are three of my favourite tracks followed by Seven Seas of Rye and the Highlander version of A Kind of Magic. Barcelona is the best non Queen piece Freddie did and I have both the original album and the orchestral one that Jim Beach organised that was just released.
Does this thread demonstrate that Coventrians are naturally schizophrenic? Two entirely different topics merging into one.
I used to love Topics
Come on "The show must go on", is surely the best track on that album.Innuendo will always remain my favourite Queen track. Despite getting to number 1 I still feel it is underrated. Remember hearing it for the first time, aged 14, and being utterly spellbound by it.
Come on "The show must go on", is surely the best track on that album.

A very good evening to you Grendel. Spoiling for a fight? Sorry, not able to engage this evening.The best track has to be the shortest surely? Dreadful pseudo rock at its worst.
I agree BTW how is Weymouth these days? Used to spend a lot of time there when I lived in Yeovil (1982-88)Great track. And very poignant.

How do they differ from 'picnics'?
Not biting mate. All I will say is that they had a great drummer, possibly the best guitarist of his generation and the best front man of all time. Anyone laughing at them must have been idiots.
