    Slow death

    Are you serious in asking this question? Didn't you read the interview with Joy Seppala? Seppala stated that she want a return for her investors - which isn't unreasonable. If they put £30m in and continue to cover losses of £1m plus for the next three years then SISUs investment goes up...

    The Ricoh -- Watch not support a Phoenix team.

    Nick, you must have missed the news that Coventry City Football Club Ltd is being liquidated. Only after its branding rights and other assets were sold to Otium though, If you wanted to buy shares in Coventry City you had to buy shares in a Company - Coventry City Football Club (Holdings) Ltd...

    The Ricoh -- Watch not support a Phoenix team.

    Good shout shmmee - the original Company had continued as Holdings and the new company was 100% owned by Holdings. That was the difference when we went back to the Football League in 2001.

    The Ricoh -- Watch not support a Phoenix team.

    Go to Companies House and look. Coventry City Football Club Ltd is in liquidation. Where you're confused (not the first time I know) is that there were no buyers for the assets of those clubs you mention hence their demise meant re-establishing in the lower leagues. Leicester City and...

    The Ricoh -- Watch not support a Phoenix team.

    I thought the Football League confirmed that the whole of Coventry City Football Club was in administration? It seems that we fit the definition perfectly... Many thanks for proving the point. Our owners were successful in obtaining all of the branding rights, the badges etc. whereas other...

    The Ricoh -- Watch not support a Phoenix team.

    You obviously don't have much understanding of what has gone on with Coventry City over the last few years. And very little of changes in corporate structures at other clubs. Many other clubs have changed their corporate structures over recent years to separate their 'stadium' ventures from...

    The Ricoh -- Watch not support a Phoenix team.

    Technically right but we’re as much a ‘franchise team’ as MK Dons. You can also add that we’re a Phoenix one to boot. The old CCFC was to two company structure consisting of Coventry City Football Club (Holdings) Ltd which was the historic club and dates back to 1907 and Coventry City Football...

    Pressley Trying To Get A Striker In

    Good shout. We have been out played by Bristol City and Notts County - both in and around the bottom for ages. Our high pressing pretty game fails in bad weather and there doen't seem to be any plan B. We were rubbish for long periods at Aston Gate and got a lucky win. It seems we collapsed...

    Anyone going to the Stadium Meeting tonight?

    My guess is that the Ricoh is always plan A. Whatever is publicly stated it will always be so. The costs of acquisition of ACL etc is a much better investment than building a much smaller stadium that will be boycotted by large numbers of fans. The only viable plan that gives SISU a shot of...

    Bristol City Match Thread

    Just got back from Aston Gate. A good result for Coventry City. A poor game dominated by abysmal weather. Coventry had the only real quality on show when Moussa scored the first goal. We look reasonably balanced side with a mixture of craft and pace. Bristol City were very poor and lacked...

    Why Play Barton ?

    I've just got back from Aston Gate and in my opinion Barton played well. We need to keep players like him. He can do a job when required.

    Mark Labovitch Comment

    As a comment this is priceless. What about the conspiracy between Coventry City Football Club and SISU Capital to damage ACL?

    Freehold of The Arena AND all its surrounds?!?

    And I thought the administration process started because the club didn't pay their rent and ACL went to court to recover it. You learn something every day...

    cant get over 10pt deduction

    While I go along with both sides having some level of responsibility for our club's position the reality is the ongoing future of the club lies only in the hands of its owners. Why should the club's landlord be concerned about its future when the club refused to pay its rent? Where is the...

    The problem with SISU Out

    limoncello, I really understand your position on Phoenix Clubs but I'm surprised that you don't see the facts for what they are. You're already supporting a Phoenix Club. The CCFC that won the FA Cup and had the history rested in Coventry City (Holdings) Ltd through itself or CCFC Ltd. With...

    Whats McManaman on about ?

    I have to agree with McManaman. We do need the money more than the player. Why else are we selling him?

    Miss Garlick

    Sandra Garlic went into this with her eyes wide open. She's an educated woman to be respected for taking on the role. I doubt she did the research prior to agreeing to work with the club. Go back to the shareholder's meeting before SISU took over and you'll find SISU's stance of 'distorted...

    Is AFC / Phoenix a step closer ?

    I understood that the Club that won the FA Cup became Coventry City Football Club (Holdings) Ltd - which owned 100% of CCFC Ltd. So the ultimate business was the same. They were certainly closer than a new company called Otium Entertainments are to being the 'football club'.

    Is AFC / Phoenix a step closer ?

    You are supporting an AFC team - the old club is dead and being liquidated. Be careful, you're not supporting the CCFC that won the FA Cup but an asset stripped start-up under the name 'Otium'. Branding rights and the Football League have made it so.

    Is AFC / Phoenix a step closer ?

    Never a truer word spoken. The Club with all the history, FA Cup win etc. went bust and is being liquidating. That isn't the club supporters are following now. SISU acquired the branding rights and a few assets of the old club with Football League approval. There's an argument that the SISU...
