So we did have a choice other than SISU. (6 Viewers)

From GR's mouth itself :
"We had a very good alternative buyer but the council didn't approve of one of the people involved and black-balled it. It would have been much, much better than this but that's all past history.

"The point is these people are just dreadful and ought to be held to account or, preferably, just get out."

I love this alternate reality that we're told almost happened, where EVERYTHING would have been awesome were it not for evil SISU. We'd have had benevolent philanthropic billionaire owners giving free hugs with every season ticket (which only cost a smile by the way) while Jordan Henderson pings another ball onto Andy Carroll's head as he clinches the Champions League for the third time in a row. Look, Ray Ranson's coming on at right-back! I can't wait for the victory parade along rainbow road up to sugar mountain, now let's ride our unicorns to the free money pit.

Please point out where I have said at any point that things would have been better... I simply stated that there was another option, up until now we were always told there was one and that was SISU

I know, I wasn't saying you did. It's Robinson who did in the quote, much like Ranson did after he left.

Fair enough, He is just expressing his opinion though and as we have no idea who the other party was makes it hard to judge it.

 

[Nick]

If he had any balls he would say who it was!

 

[ajsccfc]

If it was Alki David, we all go to Robinson's house and egg his car, deal?

if the council didnt want em itll be some dodgy shyster whod have took the ground and wrecked us

If it was somebody Robinson approved off you can bet your bottom dollar it had nothing to do with what good they could have done for the club, more what good they could have done for Coventry's favourite politician and gigolo.

Would have had a sniff at promotion then...

 

[ajsccfc]

We could have had Carlos Valderrama as coach. Think of the wig sales.

Just did a bit of digging and found this http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/c/coventry_city/7079120.stm



So Geoffrey robinson's 'alternate buyer' who would have been better for the club was himself?

 

[Paxman II]

I'm inclined not to believe the entirety of his comments being true folks. He's a politician remember and a bad one at that.

So genuine Geoffrey gave up his shares through gritted teeth, no wonder he is bitter towards sisu, at last some one has shafted him big style. At least sisu have managed 2 good things throughout there farcical term, 1;saved CCFC 2;shafted G.R

 

[rob9872]

As we were going into admin his shares wouldn't have been worth anything regardless so why he is dredging up negative news now only he knows. I guess it lets the public know he is still kicking about.
