So...minus 15 points at least, shit squad, no fans, playing thirty miles from home. Any priests around?

That may be, but right now, that course of action is the only action that will see the club remain in Coventry for the immediate future, and won't result in the near-total desertion of the football club as it winds its way towards its sad demise.

Live coverage of a creditors' meeting. Just let that sink in for a moment.

Isaias is back to make amends for last time, clearly.

Well, isn't there the old saying that something is only worth what somebody is willing to pay? In other words, we were once willing to pay 1.2m to rent the stadium, so that's what ACL got away with. I have said before that I felt that was an absolutely ridiculous sum to pay, even if we were...

Yeah, and look who turned it down? McGinnity and Hover. I would post what I think of them but it's likely to have me done for libel and slander!

Why would you, as a business, offer less than someone is clearly willing to pay? We should have negotiated harder in 2005. January, though....well that's anyone's guess. I am doubtful it would have made a difference, given the behaviour of our illustrious owners.

Phoenix Wright - Ace Attorney on Sky Blues Talk? How apt. :D

Yes. It benefits the football club, and that's all that matters.

I find the attitude of some on this thread quite baffling. According to some, we are to view this deal negatively because "it's not good for SISU". I don't give a shit about SISU. I don't give a shit about ACL. I give a shit about Coventry City Football Club. Outside of the alleged absence...

I notice the Club have put a statement on their website. I also noticed they had a little dig about Lucas not meeting them and sending people who "did not have the authority to make a deal." In other news, a Mr. Pot of Hinckley was arrested today for calling a Mr. Kettle of Hillfields "black".

I notice this Maton bloke is having his say again. He's been about as helpful as a screen door on a submarine in this whole mess. As far as Byng goes, I thought we'd all written him off as yet another shameless self-promoter? Why should we suddenly think he's still there, waiting in the wings?

Answers in red:

Walking up the stairs in the East Stand and seeing the Highfield Road pitch for the very first time.

e I think it is a conclusion drawn from Fisher's non-answer when asked at a forum whether we would actually own any new ground that we built for ourselves. I agree that bows shouldn't be drawn from non-answers but his inability/refusal to answer the question does give cause for concern.

That's all very well and good, but we are going to spend the next five years not owning our own ground, not receiving ALL revenue streams, and doing it all to miniscule crowds, thereby cutting our annual revenue from ticket sales and merchandising down to the bone. And we're supposed to be...

May I ask why?

Another one of those frankly baffling signings that plagued us around the turn of the century (Ivan Guerrero and Jairo Martinez also spring to mind.)

Wow, 160 season tickets, eh? What's that work out to, about 200 pies each to cover the shortfall?

Well they may want to get cracking on planning permission then, otherwise the groundshare will be for 30 years rather than 3. :D
