No-one outside of Coventry and its immediate environs care two hoots about SISU / Otium / Sixfields etc. I doubt whether the vast majority of football fans even know (or care) about the issues involved At least Bob Ainsworth is doing his best to extend the profile of the club's plight, at least...

There are relatively few SFO prosecutions of company directors for alleged dodgy dealings The conviction rate for the matters that SFO do pursue is a lot lower than the general criminal conviction rate The reason is that dishonesty (which is obviously a fundamental requisite) and an intention...

True but even the most objective and even-handed of observers could not conclude anything but that Fisher has been more than a little cavalier about the truth surrounding matters prior to his tenure but about which he must have known all the relevant facts - unless he is a complete incompetent...

It is absolutely clear that an ACL mole has infiltrated SISU / Otium and doctored the contracts to make Mr Fisher look dishonest and / or incompetent Likewise surely no-one can be in any doubt that the same mole or others in the employ of ACL have been sabotaging SISU / Otiums undoubtedly...

To those on this thread who say (not wrongly) that it all takes time to get things moving on a new stadium may I remind you that at the fan's forums in May and June Tim Fisher stated again and again that an announcement on locality etc was to be made within a "...couple of weeks..." At no time...

Doing well???? Which couple of weeks of which season do you mean? Relegation followed by four seasons of mid-table mediocrity and narrow escapes from further relegation prior to SISU's arrival hardly constitutes "doing well" Most people attribute(d) pre-SISU losses to the fact that we continued...

Quite right...free tickets numbering inn the hundreds are given away to every game to family, staff, schools, SBITC etc So after 4 pages of argument (and the usual abuse from the usual suspects) on this thread it would appear that the estimate of the (mocked) steward on the (somewhat...

Have SISU subsidised the club? Where is the evidence of that? We are in a state of administration / liquidation with debts of £70million (apparently). Debt has been converted to equity which is not really a subsidy. We have made increasing losses year by year. There has been no obvious injection...

Yes, thank you very much, I do understand what SISU Capital is - and if I want to be equally patronising I also know how to spell it! We all understand that because of their complex corporate structure it would take the skills of the most expert forensic accountant to find out where the money...

According to Greg Clarke "SISU Capital have the assets to run this football club as long as they want to...they are not short of money..." So if we take that comment at face value he and the FL are satisfied that a company that has just made a £96000 profit (after 2 years of losses and before...

At that point in time the rent payments were approx £0.00 weren't they? So the wage bill:income ratio was completely unaffected either way by such considerations.

So what exactly is "the right thing" for ACL to do? Let SISU have the ground rent free? Let them have the lease for nothing? In response to Nick's query of course there is no 100% guarantee that NOPM or boycotting "home" games will work but common sense and logic sayss that it must. SISU are a...

The real point is that, maybe not now, but in a few weeks or months or next year those people will no more be watching "our / their" team than a Wimbledon fan would be watching his / her team at Milton Keynes

Dear Fans After yesterday's triumph in filling Sixfields to almost one third of capacity as opposed to the scoundrels at ACL who only managed one quarter of capacity at the R***h I thought that I would clarify a few matters to avoid misunderstandings:- At the fan's forums when I said that an...

The disappointing (and worrying) thing is that on the assumption that there will be more sales between now and kick-off the final figure may get close to the 3000 that Timmy / SISU said they expected. This in turn will give them a little more credence and enable them to say "We told you so..."...

Lets start with a few names:- T Fisher Mrs Fisher T Fisher's dog S Waggott Mrs Waggott All the employees of CCFC or whatever / whoever employs them this week All the employees of SISU Capital Ltd and all their offshoots (though not of course Joy Seppala) The friends and family of the players...

You can of course access SISU's accounts via the Companies House website. For the financial years ending 2011 and 2012 they posted losses but their books are publicly available However the books for CCFC (H) Ltd, CCFC Ltd, Otium etc etc are not available because for reasons known only to the...

You misunderstand The critical point determining the future and future viability of CCFC is NOW and the finances of ACL are of no relevance to that. It is a pointless waste of time debating the comments of Cllr Lucas You are right in that FUTURE owners of the club will want / need an interest...

Any business losing a customer paying £1.3million pa will suffer as a result. Common sense and no sane person (admittedly that rules out a few who use this site) could argue otherwise.. ...similarly you would think that saving £1.3million pa would greatly enhance the finances of any normal...

Surely by now everyone must realise that so long as an organisation calling itself "Coventry City Football Club" fulfills its 46 fixtures the Football League are content We could be owned by President Assad using russian mafia money playing on a park pitch near Lands End with Lance Armstrong as...
