“Nothing is happening from the council’s point of view. No further meetings are planned at the moment.
“I’ve had no feedback on where the Higgs charity and Sisu are with discussions.
“I notice the football club have again mentioned getting revenue from the Ricoh, but that’s not the answer. That would only be part of the answer.
“The football club’s owners need to consider how they are going to effectively answer the problems more than sharing the Ricoh.
“Sisu have got to come forward with a business plan to effectively get the club into a position of challenging to get back into the Championship.
“They’ve talked about some of the losses they have incurred. That must surely be because they got relegated in the first place. If they can get to the stage of having a successful football team which is there or thereabouts with promotion or the play-offs, the revenues will increase.
“It was inevitable that gates have dwindled because of the total lack of success that City supporters have endured since leaving the Premiership.
"It’s remarkable the core support has stayed as loyal as it has given so many false dawns. It’s little wonder many supporters are disillusioned and have stayed away.
“The support is still there. It’s up to the owners to tap into the reservoir of support and get people up there to games. They won’t do that by continuing with firesales of players.”
