    why we are so dissatisfied with SISU and could we expect any better off new owners?

    I realize that I am swimming against the tide on here much of the time. Although most posters take it as a given that SISU are the pits I do not see it as that obvious. In fact suppose Leon Clark had not been injured at the back end of the season, we could very well have made the playoffs at...

    SISU may still be the best option!

    Along with everybody else I was very excited yesterday reading about the new consortium bid. But don't think its a forgone conclusion. Many things could scupper or put off all the other bidders before they get to the finishing line. Sisu have got a lot of critics and I am not sure their recent...

    They think its all over - it is now!

    Appleton says, "Should Holdings maintain their claim to a beneficial ownership of the Share, ultimately only the Court can overturn that." So far, the only confirmed bidder for the club is American tycoon Preston Haskell IV but his consortium's deal depends on acquiring this Golden Share...

    Well done sisu

    You did what had to be done. the lease had to be broken! CCFC could not survive under those terms! If I had been in charge, I would hsve done the same. :pimp:

    Maybe a sky blue horizon is in sight!...

    SISU seem to have played a couple of aces from up their sleeve. One is manipulating the company structure with a view to escaping the onerous rent deal. This will put them in a situation where they can talk around a table to agree a new rent deal but without the gun to their heads (the existing...

    WTF is happening?

    Am I right in thinking there has been no response to the freezing of CCFC bank accounts by ACL other than one message posted on the club website, that has now drifted back to page three in the archives? "Coventry City remains committed to conclusion of an acceptable deal with ACL Despite...

    Robins was not a mesiah

    The revival we enjoyed over the period of his tenure was as much due to the goals of mac golden! But that in turn was due to the team as a whole. Mac isn't setting the world alight at Ipswich (1 goal in 6 apps) and I doubt Robins will magic huddersfield into Milan! Jumping ship to huddesfield...

    Perspective

    To counter the endless winging on here, some comparisons in div one: Coventry have the 8th largest squad at 23, The 2nd most expesive at £8.2m, The 4th oldest ave age at 26! Figures from transfermarket :pimp:

    The accounts are out!

    In a nutshell, "The loss of £6.7m for the year, compared with 3.1m in 2010 largely reflects a significantly lower profit on disposal of player registrations" :pimp:

    CCFC business plan

    ok just for a talking point. I think there is a lot of hoodo about CCFC finances and rumoured £500k a week losses so I've started a spreadsheet with an outline on google docs. I've made it editable so that others with more knowledge can flesh it out. basic income comes from home gates 24...
