Ashley also likes a little gamble. I honestly think a £1.5m transfer gamble in January (loan striker, RWB and a CB) would see us in with a fighting chance of the play offs.

Previously he had said he doesn't talk about business on twitter. His tweet said something like 'considering breaking protocol in the next 24/48 hours #PUSB'

Don't understand the benefits of this 'pre-pack' deal. ACL still go into administration. Why not the test the market? As a bond holder or creditor I would insist on this.

@SBchimp be a proud man tonight. Fantastic debut from Burroughs.

This is my fear. But even then what is then the exit plan for Sisu.

Telegraph saying an ACL statement has been put out... https://www.coventrytelegraph.net/sport/football/football-news/cbs-arena-administration-coventry-city-25412888

Could prove to be wrong on this but the role of the Council in this shouldn't be understated. I'm sure as freeholder they have to rubber stamp any deal. If Ashley acquires ACL and Sisu retain the football club this could be a toxic mix. Surely no one would willingly sign this off as the best...

Is there an argument that our prospects for acquiring the ground increase if ACL go into liquidation? I barely understand the difference between the two.

It's not like a standard administration I wouldn't think ie. The administrator just gets the best return foe creditors. I'd imagine the freehold to the site has many covenants and restrictions on it which I'd imagine would include potentially even some Sport England restriction. Not sure if I've...

One of many things I'm not sure of in all this is the Council’s involvement. Say an investor comes in and offers to buy ACL but isn't interested in the football side presumably as freeholder they can essentially reject any bid even if that bid was worth more money. Could this possibly go in our...

To be fair, something had to give from a cashflow perspective. In isolation this seems a sensible approach from the club in my opinion.

Said on another thread, just feels like we are going to end up getting shafted. Starting to fear there will be some way they can come back in, clear the debt and keep hold of the Arena.

Defence looks really poor. Haven't seen Panzo play well for us since the opening game. Didn't win anything today. Doesn't look strong enough or fast enough, and look very nervous in possession.

Agree. Everyone knows he isn't good enough.

'small' injuries... But out for longer than weeks.

Agree. Knew about things that a player wouldn't.

Think this is a real banana skin. Yates and Patino been very decent for them I believe.

To state the obvious the Council would just have to ensure there was tightly worded restrictions/covenants on the land that the ownership had to stay with the football club. If I was a senior officer/politician at the Council this is the obvious huge risk given Sisu's track record. Personally I...

The 2nd one is strange. The 1st shot is so tame but Wilson doesn't seem to make himself big.
