ACL Twist The Knife....

If the mediators were such a good idea why weren't they brought in immediately to start negotiations when SISU refused to pay the rent? I'll tell you why - it's just the latest in a long line of things to drag this sorry thing out as long as possible.

And who'd appoint them? Can't be either ACL or SISU as they'd be a vested interest towards one side.

And even then I'm sure that an independent wouldn't find any better than the offer already on the table, Economically the standard of facilities they're renting are much, much superior to those they price as equivalent, and the argument of dropping divisions would be completely null and void as that was caused by the actions of SISU, not ACL. SISU would cry foul and refuse to accept the findings. Remember how many times we got @#$%& over by the transfer fees tribunals?

I couldn't give a cr*p how superior the ****ing ground and facilities are. It means nothing - especially if we're getting nothing from these 'superior' facilities. In fact, given the home record we have, it means less than nothing. The Ricoh isn't 'home'. It never has been, it never will be. Sadly, we can't quit it, as we would need permission from Coventry Council to build another stadium, and they would never give it. As for dropping down a division being SISU's fault, not ACL's, absolute horse-****. Had we not had to pay out so much in rent, we might - MIGHT! - have been able to hold on to one or two players we were forced to sell off to make up a short-fall in money .... oh, I forgot. There is no short-fall. SISU are stealing all the profits, aren't they? CCFC are printing money, and SISU are taking it all (Note to anybody from SISU, should they read this, this message is relying heavily on sarcasm in your favour).

Who said SISU were stealing the profits? I certainly didn't, and never have. I've no doubt whatsoever they've put in a lot more money and taken little out. There are probably some stupid people who think they're asset stripping (when there's nothing there to strip) but I'm not one of them.

But just because you've made a @#$%& investment decision doesn't mean you have the right to shaft another business.

Lloyds TSB were actually a very well run bank until their clown of a CEO decided to buy HBOS, despite being told not to as it was toxic. And so their decline and bailout came about.

Now, do you feel sorry for Lloyds TSB because they thought they could turn around a failing business and then actually realised they can't? Or do you think they're just another bunch of feckless, useless financiers that've lead to a massive recession and the cutting of loads of services and jobs to bail them out?

SISU knew the score when they took over the club. Even a quick look at the football industry or an ounce of common sense would have told them to steer clear, but they chose not to. Now it's all gone horribly wrong for them and that's the way it goes.

I don't care if they've put in £45m or £450m, they made a @#$%& decision and now they have to live with the consequences of it, not blame others for their own shortcomings and short-sightedness.
