It's occurred to me that as the two major bidders are in completely different lines of business, whether there was any scope for co-operation to create a bid which would be far too much for SISU to refuse ? Probably not, but just a thought.

I wouldn't be surprised if interested parties weren't already talking to SISU, unofficially, behind the scenes, preparing the ground for a take over. If the Far East consortium have the funds mentioned on another thread, it would be way too much for SISU to resist. (He says with fingers crossed !)

The big decisions that have to be taken in the next week or so will be taken by people way above Fisher's level. He is merely an employee of a SISU controlled company with far too much to say for himself.

That would sound better, but someone is going to have to write a large cheque to SISU by way of "go away" money ?

It's difficult to picture what SISU's role would be in any "partnership". What would they bring to the table ? The Byng group would bring investment, they would be dealing with ACL/Council/Higgs re stadium matters, they would provide the CEO (surely Fisher would go?). But SISU ? Maybe it's some...

It sounds as though his investment comes at the price of SISU totally changing the way they operate re CCFC or they would be bought out. PR wise, SISU would be in the background, can't see them having any input re the stadium after the events of the last year or so. TF looks like being the first...

I think we should keep TF in proportion here. He is an employee of a SISU controlled company. Despite all his talk, it will not be TF who makes the key decisions over the next couple of weeks. The main players are the owners (not employees) of SISU, the Administrator, the two bidders, and the...

Reports are that Walsall are cooling on a ground share with SISU What are SISU going to do if at this late stage Walsall say no to a ground share arrangement ? a. Have they got a Plan B ground they could do a quick bodge up deal with ? b. If not, will they realise they cannot run next...

If there is a peaceful protest, there needs to be media coverage (preferably national as no coverage can be guaranteed from the SISU friendly CT and CWR). I think there has to be a much larger campaign of action:- 1. There needs to be a large boycott of home games at Walsall (or...

If you have chosen red why not add sky blue stripes for a Barca style strip ? I agree with some link to CCFC maybe Coventry Singers FC ? Would attract more support from CCFC fans if the club is in exile ? Nevertheless, good luck with the project, every success, all long journeys start with one...

Fisher seems to believe that after this 3 or whatever year period in exile, the club will come back to the Coventry area and all the supporters will dutifully turn up, irrespective of what League we are playing in by then. Many fans have already said they will not go to "home games" at Walsall...

I think by now everyone in the known universe is aware of your view about the Trust. For God's sake, give it a rest, you are becoming tedious.

Neither is it as simplistic as you imply. Part of the planning process involves statutory consultations. The Highways Agency have to be consulted, they have to look at access roads, volumes of traffic and how that would impact on the local area. Also, if it is a rural area, Natural England would...

Those fans who live a long way away from Coventry. If you want to listen to the games on the internet subscribe to another club's website "player". You can choose the game you want to listen to. That way you avoid subscribing to Sky Blue Player and therefore deny SISU income. Not much, but every...

I don't think they would have a cat in hell's chance of getting planning permission for a major sports stadium in rural Warwickshire. Finding a site that is not either green belt which would automatically be refused or too close to residential areas is a major headache. Even if they found...

Great blog SBS, between yourself and OSB we have some expertise on board.

Like everything SISU do it would be set up to benefit SISU, NOT CCFC, as mentioned it would be viewed as an asset to borrow against. Potential disaster for the club, although I don't think it will happen. If "home" games are played elsewhere, the crowds will be so poor, the club could well fold.

It all fits, the media, written and radio have all been biased towards SISU It's sad, the pathetically poor quality of journalism these days, in this case I expect it comes from mates in the pub, that's the level this thread shows. Whatever mistakes the Council, ACL and Higgs may have...

Appleton has apparently done a number of administrations for SISU before. Is there an element of familiarity here ? Has he been brought in to produce a "certain" outcome ?. Does his chance of future employment from SISU (jobs for the boys) depend on getting the "right" result ?. Of course you...
