They couldn't give a fuck about our club. I hope they go bust.

Exactly, their little fucking game has exploded in their faces and they've been panicking for weeks now so have tried to turn it into a moral quest in the name of the fans and cityfunny how the council seem to be getting away with risking large amounts of tax payers money without anyone batting an eyelid
I hope every single party involved goes out of business.
Having said that, I'll see you in Northampton

If Coldplay or Muse play the stadium - why the fuck shouldn't the club get some money for it. If you prefer it to go to the Council to fund their expenses or sit in some reserve bank account that's fine - but it should be going to CCFC.
The club should pay for the money borrowed to build stadium - over a time that is manageable, and then they should own it. Higgs should get back what they paid and some interest on it to go to charitable causes. Why should the club be allowed to be ripped off and never own the stadium. Essentially you are championing the 'Brighthouse' way of buying.
When ACL was created it should have been intrinsically linked with CCFC - essentially working for the club to find the best way to pay off the stadium and then make money for the CCFC. That model could have reaped dividends for the club and Coventry as a whole, however some greedy **** at the Council saw an opportunity to rip the club off and took it, and now everyone is fucked.
At least a stadium owned by CCFC will make the club more sustainable if we survive that long. As for the FFP - I would imagine this will be deferred until the club are in their own stadium, this would have been part of the conversation all along.

As for the stadium - the council did not pay £113m did they? You need to strip out the Tesco contribution, grants from local enterprise funds before you find the value the council covered. And let's also be clear how they paid for it. It didn't come from Council funds, not taxpayers pockets... It was borrowed, with ACL as the vehicle and the council as guarantors.
So no Coventry citizen was out of pocket - and this is why i think the deal was such a bad one for the club.
