    Fifa officials arrested

    Usually when scandal hits the head of the organisation falls on his sword, I do not see Blatter doing that. He is a very skilled politician and manipulator who currently has a great deal of support in many of the other football groupings. That said how can they possibly have a vote on the...

    Pressley not to blame

    This last season he lost his way and I think lost some respect amongst the playing squad. His game management and tactical awareness were average at best. Yes there was weakness in the squad but whilst I believe SW played a major (and as usual hid behind others) you can not ignore that SP played...

    Realistic good signings.

    Looks like Dominic Samuel is staying at Reading - I suppose a loan could be possible http://www.coventrycity-mad.co.uk/news/tmnw/reading_take_up_samuel_option_862426/index.shtml

    still be a struggle

    I think we should let TM get his feet under the table and start the team building before we all start placing the burden of expectation on him It is great that he signed but that's just the first step. We do not have a squad yet let alone a team. Even he is saying enjoy but be patient Hope he...

    So Whats happerning with Admin ?

    CCFC Holdings Limited was dissolved by Companies House 03/06/14 and no longer exists CCFC Ltd is in the hands of Mr Appleton as a company in liquidation, it is not in administration. I think there was supposed to have been a meeting recently to wind it up but that got cancelled. There are no...

    Investment rumour.

    I wouldn't think that such a development in Baginton is going to be plain sailing in terms of planning which means time and money costs - the local residents are not going to be happy (Baginton and down through in to Finham) - The infra structure round Tollbar end might be being improved but...

    Investment rumour.

    but having got to the Premiership how does that new owner of Otium cash in? They wont be taking dividends any time soon and to get there and stay there will require probably spending any surplus cash. It wouldn't be an exposure of 2m though would it because there are loans to pay off that...

    Come On The Old Five - Blog

    I think there is such a thing as too much information. Only glanced at what is there but a lot of it doesn't really seem relevant to CCFC or SISU's ownership of it. Not really sure what the purpose of the blog is if I am honest. How does it change or help to change CCFC's situation. Most fans I...

    Other income streams

    To be fair I was more asking for the owners to make their case in more detail, sorry if I mislead you Couple of points Naming rights - even with a new stadium CCFC are going to be in a different league to Wasps in terms of what they can command unless they become successful before that...

    Other income streams

    It would be very helpful if the club/owners defined what these other income streams were that they are missing out on and quantified the turnover and net profit derived from each. They must have done just that in order to make their new stadium decision surely? What is it the club doesn't get...

    Other income streams

    Isnt the OP about CCFC income streams not Wasps? The superstore is relevant though isn't it because it opened when CCFC were in Northampton 35 miles away and you would assume that its turnover counted in any SCMP calculation at that time. So if there was another venture that was suitably...

    Walking in a Mowbray Wonderland?

    Hopefully good news is about to be confirmed then. I can not think there will be many (any?) fans unhappy with him signing up. That's only one of many things that need to happen though isn't it? I wonder how big a spike we will get on ST sales and whether the momentum will be maintained. isn't...

    An offer to SISU

    I have a feeling that the definition is somewhat wider Godiva. I think that so long as it is owned by the same company as the football club (ie Otium) it would count.

    Jimmy hill statue moving to gosford green?

    Gosford Green? I know it is near the old ground but doesn't this representation of not only JH but our football heritage deserve to be seen by as many people as possible. If it is not going to be at our home ground it has to be in the city centre

    To Stay or Go

    viable doesn't necessarily mean better though does it. It could mean smaller budget and no losses in L2 for example. What is important is the survival of CCFC If the alternative is better for CCFC (and by relationship its fans) then there is no decision other than to go surely? Trouble is...

    SISU, Swansea and CCFC

    Yes there is the history and I don't think you can ignore that. However back in 2008 there was a line drawn under a lot of it. No the Ricoh problem was not solved but a lot of debt disappeared at that point in reality if not on the financials produced. Seven years is a long time to turn any...

    An offer to SISU

    Just a thought or two - drive up the ST sales make sure all paid up front to boost closed season cash flow - make it clear that the finances and team success are wholly dependent on the fans - don't increase the budget and target breakeven including interest payments - place the ownership of...

    An offer to SISU

    Number of strange posts recently Would advise that if making any offer that putting any details on a forum is (a) going to get some of the ridicule shown above and (b) make you less credible to SISU (c) isn't the right way to do it. Not sure the problem for SISU or anyone is raising the...
