We all know that plan A is to distress ACL to the point which they can pick up the Ricoh for next to nothing BUT what is plan B?
You really can't blame them for that Pete. They have a business to protect.As I understand it ACL are actively looking for alternative uses for the Ricoh - seems to be no goodwill on any side to get together to sort CCFC playing in Coventry any time soon
This brings me back to another point I raised......expect an application for a name change.wait for ntfc to go bust and sisu will buy the ground on the cheap?

I don't think that any offer would be acceptable to them without the keys.I'm not so sure tonylinc that the idea of stressing ACL is still the objective. It was, has been but I believe they may have moved on from there. According to some opinions ACL are perfectly capable of continuing into profits without the football club so with the football club no longer a tenant then they are no longer distressing anyone accept the fans!
Plan B must be to sit back and wait for an offer from ACL/CCC to return at much more favourable terms. And before you say they already did that please note that no offer has been made formally to anyone yet that is either legitimate or otherwise.
Ah......NO.Your right you can see it coming, it really would be the end of ccfc, could it be challenged on a legality basis?
Build a new ground? You must be joking. How much would that cost? No; it is a non-starter.Plan b is to build the new ground....they don't want the ricoh anymore....even if they do distress acl no way in hell will they sell it to sisu.

Not much of a plan is it?Plan B is to keep going until the money runs out or the fans return.

I'm getting the feeling that most think that ACL need the football club more that the football club need ACLIf we can all agree that SISU now in the guise of Otium are prepared to fund the loses for 3 years instead of trying desperately to get back in at the Ricoh where 10k plus a match would be far better for them then we can begin to see they mean to move on unless a sustainable offer is made attractive to them.
If it is purely to distress ACL into handing over the keys to the Ricoh then that strategy would be crazy! What would be stop any one else from obtaining the Ricoh at that point? Haskell and his band of merry men for example?
I think the Council had better think very carefully where they go from here because if they don't eventually get the football club back at the stadium they helped rescue for that specific purpose for the most part, then I fear a white elephant on the horizon.
Am beginning to think the same SO who is going to make the first move?Said this from the outset, CCC & ACL NEED the Sky Blues more than they need the Ricoh, it's not 'rocket science' is it ? PUSB!
FFS we really are in trouble then!!!!!!I am seeing little from anyone involved to indicate that there is a Plan A

It doesn't matter the over riding factor is Sisu need the Ricoh to turn a profit on their investment !!!

More chance of a new ground than us going back to the ricoh.
Very useful post GAnd?.....,

And what they do with it?Giving them the Ricoh is fine by me - its the only solution.
