    Did we talk about the board or investment in the 70s/80s?

    True, that would have really pissed me off!!

    It's hoffman

    I think this has to be possibly good news - at the very least hopeful news. The reason for the disappointment on the forum seems to be the rather large oversell by the CT. If they'd just done an article confirming that GH was looking for investment, most of us would have been pretty happy...

    Did we talk about the board or investment in the 70s/80s?

    Not completely true..... I think my blackest day in the 70's was when I heard that Dennis Mortimer had been sold to Villa. I seem to recall the Chairman (a certain J. Hill) justifying the sale on the grounds that it would put us on a solid financial footing and allow us to exploit the...

    The Mirror: Ranson planing summer takeover bid!

    The problem is, I'm not sure how you make a great business case out of CCFC.

    Afc coventry?

    Legally you're of course quite right Tommy, but I bet that the AFC Wimbledon fans do see their club as the continuation of the old Wimbledon. Similarly, my local team, Telford United, went bust a few years back but the fans seem to regard AFC Telford as the "same club". Still, lets hope this...

    The Mirror: Ranson planing summer takeover bid!

    A promising start but it depends how much of the £20m - £30m (whatever the figure is) that SISU have invested, they are prepared to write off - together with how much money RR can raise.

    If you could ask CCFC/SISU one thing?...

    I think the only meaningful question is how much of their investment are they prepared to write off, if we can find a potential buyer.

    The Statement.....

    If we'd had someone doing that in the Richardson years we might not be here now.

    The Statement.....

    A transfer embargo means that you can't buy (or loan in) players. You can still sell or loan them out.

    The Statement.....

    Well, better than nothing. If they've realised the importance of communication, then better late than never. They need to make some meaningful statements on Monday/Wednesday - not empty platitudes.

    Why offload King and Platt

    The accounts are filed with Companies House. Normally when accounts are delayed it's because there are issues over the "going concern" status of the company. Given our financial position, it's likely that to avoid qualifying the accounts, the auditors will require guarantees of support from...

    Why offload King and Platt

    Failing to file accounts makes no difference to any points deduction. The deduction comes if we go into administration. Whilst that is obviously intimately linked to the financial situation, it's completely separate to the filing (or otherwise) of accounts.

    Cov Telegraph - Transfer embargo because Cov did not file their accounts....

    Sat next to Harry Shaw on the one and only occassion I was in the Directors' box at Highfield Road. Real City fan. He and I were the only people in there shouting abuse at the ref.

    Put the blame where it belongs

    Can't say for sure, but normally these type of "private equity" agreements have provisions that if a Director resigns, his shares go to the main finance provider (SISU in this case of course) at a pre-determined price. This is usually meant to be a major disincentive to leaving, but in this...
