The council has an obligation to protect its assets. It has no obligation to a private business, ACL should be applauded for not evicting their non paying tenant months ago.
Although it did the exact opposite for ACL in those early months: "The Cabinet wants to give Arena Coventry Ltd (ACL) a five-and-a- half month rent-free period worth pounds 400,000 and offer it an "overdraft" of up to pounds 1 million."
SO you don't want the club subsidised, but you do want a joint venture quango to be subsidised?
I deleted my post while editing it (doh!). So here it is again, plus the edit.
When the club is gone the council will realise how much money away fans bring to pubs and local businesses, people from outside the city coming in and spending their money here.. all the trade around match days in the city be it pubs, eateries or brothals, its all contributing to Coventry. I really believe the council will rue the day they fecked the club up...
Edit. So the council,basically, don't give a fuck about local businesses, or their tax payers. In a pub, one busy day can make ur month, believe me I've been their..

Love the way the SISU rent-boys complain about "a quango" - real name, the company set up and managed on behalf of the council on commercial terms. It exists to make a profit and the ocuncil had to provide some funding to do that - they own it (or co-own it), so that's fine. Remind me how much a of a stake the council own of SISU or CCFC?
None.
But Hamil, that does not mean that the council is obliged to subsidize CCFC - you can't expect a free ground just on the basis of the impact on the wider local economy

Jesus, look at you. You now have proof that the rent has been OTT since we moved into the bloody place, but still you side with ACL and against the Club you 'support'.
You keep banging on about this, but you're not bothered that the Council subsidise ACL.
I really do find it funny that ppl bang on about obligations to the tax payer, wen in truth the club going is the worst possible out come for the city. Businesses, jobs, trade will all diminish, but apparently that won't affect the tax payer.
No it just proves the council just want to bleed the club dry and if they destroy it so what. Real supporters will be outraged by this.
Sorry dickhead, this "article" is not proof that the rent is/was OTT. The club would always seek to reduce the level of rent, and plead poverty/financial incompetence on its own part as an excuse.
I support the team of Coventry City FC. I do not support SISU or the company which I am thoroughly ashamed of.
And what would the landlord do with someone who refuses to pay?
Ah, so they got a £113million pound facility for £20-30million then?
Think that should be worth a few years rent free myself.
No, because they own it....why doesn't that make sense to you? Are you retarded?
Bully for them, but what about Barca fans?
Ah, the old resorting to abuse stuff. Nice one.
They paid £20-£30m in unanticipated public funding - can quite see why they would insist on full ownership as collateral. If I was a councillor, i would do exactly the same.
Has someone asked Tim the following.Would/Should Sisu help out ACL if it was in trouble?
Yes, of course they do. However, ACL are a company in their own right. There to make a profit. ANy other business would have gone to the wall, but CCC keep chucking money at it.
With a £70-£80million pound apparent immediate profit, you'd think they'd be doing a bit better wouldn't you?

The rent was OTT though CJ, Torchy has highlighted this by showing that even the former regime were in negotiations with CCC/ACL regarding a way to restructure the payments, that's probably one of the reasons that made the former sell up..
SISU obviously thought that when they came in that they could take the club back to the Premier League and it was bone idle, the way SISU have handled themselves in this affair isn't great but if discussions with McGinnity and Co with ACL/CCC didn't work, how was it ever going to work for SISU? So they dug the heels in the sand and took a stand unfortunately they dug there heels in quicksand and they are actually further from making a deal then when they started...

The previous regime had no right to complain about the high rent, they were the ones that put the club into this situation.
Whenever I hear Geoffrey Robinson talking about it now I want to hit him, he is the one that originally did it.
If you can't win the argument, complain about abuse.
You accused me of "banging on" about a salient point which totally undermines your worthless argument.
In answer to a previous point, I do not support SISU or the club off the field, I support Coventry City the team. The club's actions make me ashamed, as do people like you who try to defend them and accuse anyone else who doesn't seem keen to provide a free meal ticket for CCFC

So what? This is here and now. There will be no club to support if this is not resolved in the clubs favour. You just don't get it do you?
