    How Serious Is Serious Investment ?

    Statement made a number of times by Joe Elliott when talking about these new investors waiting in the wings, but what do we the supporters see as serious ?, Is it spending millions on the team, Man City/Cheslski style, is it being able to compete toe to toe at our current level with the Likes of...

    Elliot on cwr next

    Graeme Souness name is gathering momentum, and he is linked to one of the countrys wealthiest men, Irish business man Brian McDermott, I think it's Brian, not saying it's them and i doubt if Souness was the well known footballing name at the meeting think that would have been Richard Keys but...

    Transfer Embargo ?

    Just had a text from a mate saying he believed an embargo is again now in place. Does an embargo include out goings too, if so and an embargo was engineered that is what could force SISU's hand, it would mean no money coming in, decent money anyway.

    If true, who brought this meeting forward and why ?

    If it's correct that this Hoffman/SISU meeting has been brought forward to today, surely it could only have been SISU who have brought it forward and surely then there must be a pressing reason for doing so, we can hope. I just wonder who is holding all the cards. This threat of administration...

    Linnel - News Tomorrow

    If some sort of deal isn't thrashed out tomorrow administration will follow Monday. Apparently someone owed a few bob is pulling the rug away and demanding payment. That's the word in the press rooms apparently.

    SISU - who are they?

    This might explain why Turner's injury has dragged on, just a week to go until the window closes, i can't see anyone paying 2 to 3 million without him playing for 9 months

    Roque Santa Cruz?

    I know it has been said many times but believe me George Hudson and Ian Gibson were better than anything in this division has now and i'm not one of those yesteryears players were the best it is just a footballing fact.

    We need to be realistic even after Friday

    Probably would take a bit of time to dot the I's and cross the T's but it might just allow Thorn to atleast bring some much needed loans in or even Bosman's. I actually think had we had a Marlon King type forward we would have 6 points in the bag.

    Went to Sisu HQ yesterday

    Brinner's protest was perfect, off the cuff and basic and for SISU unexpected. There is no other way us types can protest other than the traditional turn up unannounced and be a visual pest. Will it make them see sense and go, probably not, but i bet it has been mentioned in their ivory tower.

    Hypothetical question

    No we haven't, from 1962 and although credited with it it wasn't strictly Jimmy Hills idea to wear Sky Blue, it was supposed to be Coventry Blue which is somewhere inbetween royal blue and sky blue. It was Derek Henderson (Nemo) who christened us the Sky Blues and it stuck.

    Text from my mate, ADMIN????

    That interview was orchestrated by Richard Keys to put us fans in the picture and fair play to him, he used his position at Talk Sport and was allowed to to do that, lets be honest all that would have been boring to all the non Cov fans listening but they did it and although Andy Gray was...

    What have SISU spent £30m on?

    Well i don't think gate receipts make a lot of differenve at the moment, take away season tickets and we are left with less than 3/4000 plus away supporters, SISU will have done the forecasts for each game and there are only about 3 or 4 guaranteed "big" gates left, West Ham, Birmingham, Leeds...

    Text from my mate, ADMIN????

    They did and Leeds thought they had got away with it and in a way they had except and i think this is correct there was an issue with tax that they hadn't said or included so got done on 2 seperate issues hence two lots of points deductions, weren't they barred from the F.A.Cup too ? so i think...

    What have SISU spent £30m on?

    There were football related debts to clear up, remember we had a transfer embargo on us at the time and there was the Inland Revenue and VAT to sort out. I believe Ryton was done on a mortgage so thats on going, but as said £30million ??. Although the wages of Dowie, Coleman and Boothroyd would...

    Text from my mate, ADMIN????

    I don't know the exact Football League rules but i believe timing is important, i'm sure you can't just go into administration at the beginning of the season take the 10 point hit, come out of admin and try and claw back the 10 points and live happily ever after, that' why Bournemouth for one...

    Clever, Clever SISU

    I would love to see John Sillett say a very public thanks but no thanks. That would show SISU just how much they are not wanted. But that would depend what side of the fence old Snozz is is.
