No expert on this but I think I read somewhere if the CVA is rejected, it can be forced through in the courts but effectively the club end up coming out of admin without a CVA in place which results in the 15 point deduction. At this point, I'm not sure what I want to happen. Part of me still...

Just read the article on the CCFC site and a few things stood out for me. First, no mention of a plan for a new stadium, just that they couldn't agree with ACL over the Ricoh. They want Otium to get back to negotiating with ACL but don't seem to hold out much hope for that if they've agreed for...

Paxman II, I do believe that they need something more in the way of income long term. I just think that the position the club is likely to be in by the time they have a new stadium is built could be too far gone - if we're in £70-80M debt again by then (taking into account the £32M they're...

I agree with Psgm 1 also in that it doesn't make any financial sense to do what they're doing. For the amount of money they will need to throw at the club over the next 3+ years, plus the cost of the land and new stadium, I would have thought that they could have rented the Ricoh, bought the...

Sounds a great idea. Not sure if ACL would be up for it though until various legal things are sorted. SISU seem to be hiding behind the 'we've been thrown out and the doors are locked' excuse whereas ACL seem to be reiterating that the Ricoh is open to CCFC with free rent (at least while we're...

What's the betting that we somehow get to the 3rd round of the FA cup and draw Man Utd or Villa at 'home'? I imagine NOPM would go out the window for some (although there wouldn't be much chance of a ticket unless we moved again for 'safety reasons').

Just occurred to me as we'll - if TF is to be believed (!) when he said that he can't announce where the ground share will be until we're out of admin, we will already have played at least one home game by then. Has Appleton been negotiating on the ground share as well?

Does seem that way. He probably knows that SISU wouldn't accept any of the other bids as creditors.

So if everything goes perfectly (creditors all say yes on 22nd July, we come out of admin 4 weeks later and accounts are all signed off and filed so that we're not under an embargo), Pressley will have a maximum of 2 weeks in which to sign all these new players before deadline day, having...

Just caught the end on the Wimbledon coverage on BBC1. Playing a montage of clips of the days action and there's someone sitting in the crowd wearing the exact same suit that Joy's statue wore on Saturday! Does beg the question though of why the hell would you wear a suit that covers your face...

Just watched this. Surprised at how big a gap there seemed to be between the first to drop out and the last.

Big gamble time for ACL. Accept the CVA, take the cash they're owed, incur the wrath of the fans for allowing SISU to continue but long term, unlikely to have a club at the arena, possibly leading to contractual issues with Ricoh/Compass etc (unless something suddenly happens and they can allow...

I think this is a great idea - at least at a lower level. Could be the start of something as well. I mean, in formula 1, it isn't always the best driver who gets the drive for some of the smaller teams, it's the one who brings the most sponsorship money. Christ knows how much SISU would want...

Just caught something in Midlands Today quoting ACL's statement as "being fully committed to keeping CCFC in Coventry" or something like that. Didn't say what else the statement said though.

I'm sure a lot of us would like to see that!

Just been thinking if we do actually move out of the Ricoh, will Ricoh and Compass be asking for some kind of refund from ACL? Obviously Ricoh sponsored the arena as they would get their name mentioned on Sky Sports/BBC etc and by however many thousand people visited each week. If now, they're...

Only way it could be anything more than putting a bid in 'for the sake of it' would be if they've found their own serious backer who could throw a wedge at Ltd and maybe pay off the council's loan (thereby possibly stopping the need for SISU's court action on that front). Potentially they could...

If they eventually find the GS to be in Holdings, are they then going to sue the FL for the 10 points and any other related costs?

Clubs not for sale because the Joy's a Villa fan and hasn't finished spending millions making us a laughing stock yet.

Good question in the end though
