And we would still not see any money from it even if we owned 50% as the arena company pay no dividends to shareholders until the mortgage is paid off.
Surely though owning half the stadium adds many value streams such as...
Concerts and events
Better return on food and beverage sold
Less or no rent
Filled or not this is money we don't see today ?
can we please stop calling him Goldie FFS!!!
Shouldn't this read
' if they give him to us for free, and he'll accept minimum wages, then we will be able to keep him......but we can't be bothered to make a proper deal, so we are preparing the expectations of our fans to be resigned to another post-Christmas free fall'
Do something proactive for once, Sisu, give us something to look forward to, some hope, some reason to believe in you!

Even Jennings is saying he could stay if Forest don't want him back, and Forest have already said they don't want him back. All down to money to me.
1. If you read the OP....its actually Mcsheffrey that states its "out of our hands"...not Waggott.
2. He's a loanee....If he keeps scoring goals & playing well, he'll sign at a championship club anyway.
3. Unless you've been in a coma since 2001 or are "a bit slow", you'll have noticed we're a bit skint.
4. I don't know the exact figures, but i'm guessing we're already sailing pretty close to the wind with regards wage bill v turnover.
5. Moan all you like, but the only way we'll keep McGoldrick is if he "does an Eastwood" & becomes complete gash overnight.....
Be nice if we were much higher up the league come Christmas.
Exactly. .....and I fully expect we will be Otis.
I watched the shambles on the Football League Show and still maintain we can beat the majority of teams in this league. When MR gets the balance and conditioning right soon we will climb up the league , no problem. Squads are small at most clubs and injuries will play a major part. We have a large squad we clearly will improve week in week out under Robins.

I'm sure you posted in the last week that you expect us to be comfortably sitting in the play offs by new year...
That's right Stupot and i still maintain that view. You won't string me up though if we are sitting 7th will you?
Will need like over 25 points from the next 10 games for that to happenThat's right Stupot and i still maintain that view. You won't string me up though if we are sitting 7th will you?
IT'S OUT OF OUR HANDS, SAY CITY
COVENTRY City will do everything they can to upgrade David McGoldrick's loan deal into a long-term contract at the Ricoh Arena.
But the club admit there is nothing they can do until Nottingham Forest decide whether they want to recall the striker in January or put him up for sale to the highest bidder.
McGoldrick's eye-catching form has made him a hero with the Sky Blues' fans, who again chanted “sign him up“ when he slotted home his sixth goal in as many games to clinch Saturday's 1-0 win at Leyton Orient.
But development director Steve Waggott stressed: “We can't start talking publicly about all the scenarios surrounding David's future because there are lots of ifs, buts and maybes involved here.
“His form in front of goal has been out standing of late and, of course, it would be great if we could extend his stay beyond January when his loan deal is due to expire.
“But, while we are delighted with the goals he is scoring for Coventry City, he is still Nottingham Forest's player.“
McGoldrick cost Forest £1million when he arrived from Southampton in 2009 and if boss Sean O'Driscoll decides he is surplus to requirements at the City Ground they would want to recoup some of that outlay rather than allow him to leave as a free agent next summer.
But the Sky Blues are not well placed to compete in terms of transfer fees or wages and know that the more goals he scores the more competition they will face with several clubs, including Notts County and Charlton athletic, already keeping regular tabs on his performances.
“It's out of our hands,“ said Gary McSheffrey, who played just behind McGoldrick in a revamped attack at Brisbane Road.
“Forest have sent him out to get some games under his belt and the form he's in at the minute he would probably be a good asset to their squad in the Championship, “His goal on Saturday was a gift from their goalie but he was in that area to be composed, go round the keeper and slot it in and you tend to get those opportunities when you are on top of your game.
“Since he came here he has got his head down and worked really hard and wherever he ends up they will be getting a really good player.“
A free fall from the dizzy heights of 21st?
