    Idiots

    Just so I have this clear my own head Neither the Trust nor Jimmy Hills Way campaign organised or planned any form of protest for the game at sixfields and did not at any time encourage the use of smoke bombs or going on the pitch. The actions that happened were planned and conducted by a...

    Protests#

    Personally I am surprised that the protests have not got "messy" before. CCFC fans have shown up until now remarkable restraint and patience, some would call part of that apathy of course. You can bet the line from the FL/FA will be to punish the fans but not to address the root cause, those...

    Protests that will affect SISU

    I would think that protests that directly affect Seppala would upset her. As it stands the fans protests at matches she is insulated against to some degree, not least by Fisher but also she doesn't attend. I am sure she never expected half of the animosity from investing in a football team. They...

    Wembley boycott

    kind of makes my point glad you agree we are free to make a personal choice. You have explained yours and I honestly have no issue with that at all. I assume from that you would respect the choice of others who see it differently

    Wembley boycott

    no greater credence at all. The point of the whole post is that be it to go or not go to NOPM or not NOPM it is a personal choice, and as such accusing either side of lacking morals principles on this forum or others is frankly something I find counter productive, childish and pretty pathetic...

    Wembley boycott

    I agree it is far from certain.

    Wembley boycott

    Boycott. Do you like me get fed up of all these judgemental protectors of your morals and principles? It would seem that by going to football matches means you lose those morals or principles and intelligence leaving you open to abuse from keyboard warriors who know better apparently. NOPM...

    Sky Blue Trust not backing a Boycott.

    I would think it would only be right for the following to happen the CT to actually include at least a link to the full statement in their article today, better still print it all not just pick out parts of it and do that incorrectly. The Trust did not say fans ownership was an easy path as the...

    Match Thread Swansea U21 v Coventry Match Thread - Tuesday 24th Jan

    Well done CCFC and for holding their nerve. Makes such a good change to talk about something positive at the club. Long way to go yet and success I am sure will not be taken for granted by all City fans given past history. Wembley is not nailed on yet. The people who I will actually feel...

    Sky Blue Trust not backing a Boycott.

    Needed to be made clear by the Trust certainly and this is a decent summary and statement. So perhaps people and reporters can now stop the ill informed claims of conspiracy and forced administration The research and planning was never done to try to force a change of ownership, or to create a...

    Coventry City fans to discuss possibility of supporter-led takeover

    I don't, I find some of the conspiracies put forward amusing frankly. Dig just a little and they don't hold water.

    Coventry City fans to discuss possibility of supporter-led takeover

    Given that the club in its present format is worthless. Given that anyone coming in would buy the assets (not much value in the squad) which don't have massive value and won't fluctuate greatly. Given that the potential remains the same its just the length of time that varies depending on L1 or...

    Coventry City fans to discuss possibility of supporter-led takeover

    have to say this part of Les Reids latest article did make laugh "Any prospective party seeking to facilitate a takeover of any company by promoting the distress of that company – directly or indirectly – could be open to legal action" Even if it were true that was the Trust plan, which it is...

    Coventry City fans to discuss possibility of supporter-led takeover

    Got be honest I don't think there has been £600k paid out from profits at all SBK. If you add the information up on the other costs contained in the notes then you haven't got enough left to pay it out. operating costs (note 2) in total 135326 Staff costs (note 3) 455171 directors emoluments...

    Is Administration a desirable outcome?

    If SISU want crystallise the loss then what is to stop them going straight to a liquidation? They don't need administration to sort the debts out because apparently there are no big creditors other than them and an administration means you have to take on the football debts in any case to...

    Coventry City fans to discuss possibility of supporter-led takeover

    Yes the hospitality stands out - it would be interesting to see the matching direct costs - so do a number of other things I pointed to However the one figure that stuck in my mind was the wages costs that were 5.1m in L2 and they still broke even on the profit & loss. Entirely different set...

    It is interesting to compare the Portsmouth 2015 accounts to say the Otium ones for the same period. available on these links Portsmouth PORTSMOUTH COMMUNITY FOOTBALL CLUB LIMITED - Filing history (free information from Companies House) Otium (CCFC) OTIUM ENTERTAINMENT GROUP LIMITED - Filing...

    Fans need to look in the mirror

    I would think that many fans can look in the mirror and say they have over the years done their bit and spent plenty doing it. Football should have a symbiotic relationship between fans and team not view the fans as a parasite that doesn't do enough to support highly paid young men kicking a...

    Should CCFC ever move from the Ricoh

    Perhaps someone should explain to Sisu, fisher and a few others that breaking even doesn't have to be achieved by slashing costs and reducing in size.

    Should CCFC ever move from the Ricoh

    If Ccfc go down, and crowds get significantly smaller can they afford to stay?
