    The good news is.....

    ....if we get relegated then we may at least get a good away game at Nuneaton to go to!

    We can't let this continue next season

    Just been reading some of the really sad threads on here and can see that Coventrys supporters are drifting away from the club. This is a disaster. I'd now suggest its time for the Sky Blues trust to give Sisu an ultimatum which is move home or we will look to start again with another club...

    Does Sisu need to attract new investors to build a stadium?

    Given that Sisu are just a hedge fund responsible for investing other peoples money the rather obvious question I have is this. Does Sisu actually have anyone lined up to fund the development of a stadium? Given that the stadium may be owned by a different Sisu entity to the one that owns...

    If we went down....

    To be clear I don't think we will go down nor do I want that. However what would Sisu do in that situation? Knowing our luck they would simply cut out budget and order a reduction in stadium size to about 5 thousand. I can't see them going or winding us up. Do we think they might go?

    Rip ccfc?

    I know this is insanely negative but I can't help but wonder if we really have a future as a football club. We are seemingly a long way from obtaining a new home and in the meantime gates dwindle and our status in football diminishes. Where will we be in 3 years time? Another 2 leagues down...

    Action not words

    Reading through various threads and listening to fans in general I think it's fair to say we are all frustrated at the lack of progress at CCFC/ stadium and the way our club seems to be languishing with nothing happening. We need concerted action on both Sisu and ACL to do something. Even if...

    So what will be the outcome?

    Curious to see what fans think will happen. My view on it is that a deal for the Ricoh is not achievable largely because Sisu would need to buy out Higgs, the council and probably take on a shed load of debt. So in those circumstances I think Sisu will look for a new ground to play in and...

    CCC statement a disaster for Sisu and CCFC

    I can't help but think today's move by the council opens the door for another football club to play at the Ricoh. Realistically only a football club will want to consider a stadium with a capacity of 32000. A rugby club will never get near those numbers. No one is going to roof in the Ricoh it...

    Rip ccfc?

    Ok so the title of the thread is a bit melodramatic but with everything that's happening at CCFC I really do fear for the clubs future. Sisu seem prepared to allow the club to spend 5 years or so in the wilderness whilst a new stadium is built. In that time fans will inevitably drift away. Some...

    What are the councils plans for the Ricoh without CCFC

    I think it's time they answered this. Will they really not have a full time team playing there? I find that hard to believe. If Sisu are serious about building a new stadium then just what will happen to the tax payers money? It might be profitable now but their job is too maximise income so...

    If Sisu built a new stadium between....

    Kenilworth and Cov what would you do? Would you follow the Sky Blues as far as Leamington? Or would you just stop watching them? At the moment a lot of fans are saying they'd never follow Cov outside of Cov but what if they were nearer than Sixfields but still a bit of a trek? I'd be...

    Why don't the Trust now ask ACL....

    For Permission to let a Coventry City B side form at the Ricoh and play there for free with a future option to buy the lease and stadium for a fixed price? The logic being we don't know where we are heading with Sisu. Having a B team form to push up the league would at least give us a Plan B...

    Time for the council to sell the Ricoh or start a football club!

    I'm gutted at my own lack of engagement with CCFC. I should be over the moon about tonight's result but can't get excited about it as i haven't seen our lads play since they went to sixfields. So now I just want a lie dram under this. Either sell the Ricoh or start a football club. If I have...

    Sell the Ricoh to the highest bidder

    Having given this some thought I believe now is the time for the council to sell the Ricoh and the surrounding land to the highest bidder. If that bidder is Sisu then so be it. If not them that will at least force Sisu to either build a stadium or sell the club. The concern I have is that...

    What will make Sisu the most money?

    Sisus next move will be determined by what option offers them the best financial return. Assuming that Joy Seppalla is sincere in agreeing to sell up if the can make money then the options aren't great for them. If they build a new stadium they are looking at spending at least 30 million. To...

    So what happens to the Ricoh if CCFC don't return?

    Assuming CCFC don't return the Ricoh and they build a new stadium either in or near Cov then what will the management of ACL do with the football pitch? Will they start a new club owned by ACL or will they turn the pitch over to something else? Assuming for a moment that ACL and Sisu...

    If ACL decides to redevelop the Ricoh....

    Just a thought but what would Sisu's reaction be? Suddenly there would be no prospect of bankrupting ACL to get the stadium cheap. If this is Sisu's plan they may then decide to sell the club

    Why would we get a 15 point deduction if the Golden Share resides with Holding?

    Doesn't matter if Ltd is still in Admin does it? Thought we only get a points deduction if the CLUB (Golden share) is still with Ltd?

    How much will it cost to police the first game?

    Just been reading a few comments on the web and wondered to myself how much money Sisu will have to pay for Police? I mean think about it fans can do all sorts of things from blockading the entrance to the stadium, to sitting down on the pitch to stop the game starting. How much will all this cost?
