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...
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...
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...

WTF is PKH playing around at?
He's effectively turfed out the accademy by demanding payment for "maintenance" on a couple of lawn mowers of £12000 on top of rent for the...
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:
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...
How do we wind up with an CCFC promoting an ACL venture at this time - While under threat of administration from ACL?......

transcript of interview:
question one. if we were to offer you the position would you accept it?
Answer: well lets discuss things and see.

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?

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!

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

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:
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.
