Fisher: City Would Rent Any New Stadium

Last updated : 08 March 2015 By Covsupport News Service

Coventry City Chairman Tim Fisher has said that City would still be renting any new stadium that may be built, if they moved in as owners.

Speaking to the Coventry Telegraph's Simon Gilbert, Mr Fisher said: The capital cost would be met by a separate company, a property company.

“That’s the norm throughout football whenever projects like this are undertaken.

“The absolutely crucial thing here is that the football club would benefit from all matchday and non-matchday revenues generated at the stadium.

“Under the rules that now govern football – either financial fair play or salary cost management protocol – that allows us to get the best possible team on the pitch.”
