I'm afraid I can't agree with all of that. The planners wouldn't care less that there is already a stadium in the city and the government would welcome any private investment that might serve to stimulate the economy (especially the construction industry which is seen as the route cause of the...

Agreed - either that or pure spin.

I used to agree at Bellamy level of ability - I can remember slating him when we were playing Leicester away and he seemed so lightweight. In hindsight it seems like he was still learning his trade.

Re-reading you are correct - I apologise. A hedge fund, as I understood it at least, makes money betting against the odds. They had no reason to buy an English football club - but then, in my view, that goes for a lot of current football club owners (which is where my concern over the...

Shocking business practices? Like forcing administration so that someone else might buy the club on the cheap.

What has that got to do with any of the points I've made? All I've said is ACL are not faultless (I'll add in my opinion and not FACT which a lot of posters on here do as if that actually makes their opinion a FACT).

I'm not sure I've heard anybody defend SISU - I certainly haven't and yet you've accused me of doing so! The only point I've made is that I wouldn't believe everything ACL say - certainly not in soundbites to the media.

No, double standards at all. I don't want a hedge fund owning my club - i never have done. I want a coventry fan owning my club but it doesn't seem that there any coventry fans, with the funds available, that are interested. I do believe the actions of SISU were forced by ACL. I, naively...

If it was that easy would we not have a whole load of successful football clubs? Oh no, sorry I forgot ccfc has far more potential than any other club.

You never know - one day I might be able to highlight something you've said that I agree with!

And you believe that?

I was waiting for the "SISU apologist" to be spouted - I didn't expect to be accused of being a wife beater apologist! The truth is I never wanted a hedge fund to take over and only ever saw it ending in disaster. However, that doesn't mean I want the first millionaire that walks past the...

What did people expect when a hedge fund took over? We need a suistainable future - how that is achieved I have no idea but, it isn't, by welcoming any new millionaire owners no questions asked.

Perhaps, I've started to take on board all the posts on here about directors having a legal duty to protect the interests of their companies first and foremost? Or, Perhaps, I'm just cynical? Or, Perhaps, I don't believe trying to force admin, and a 10 point deduction is in the best...

I guess that all depends if you believe ACL when they state that they tried to force administration as it is in the best interests of the club. Personally, I don't!

Unfortunately, we as fans are not very cohesive so, it is doubtful, a trust, which is representative of the fans, would be. Perhaps, if things started to move along with the trust we would become united behind it? I certainly hope so as all the bickering that is currently happening is in...

Very true. I don't think we try to get the kids early enough - get them dreaming of scoring for ccfc at wembley before they start dreaming of scoring for mufc.

Couldn't disagree more! Although, I accept my love for HR may be influenced of the times I spent there - happy times. In fact I've just been showing a forest fan the clip of coventry beating forest 5 - 4. One of the best games I've ever seen.

I only joined the forum a week or so ago and in that time off the field events seem to have dominated events. Why resort to insults just because I don't see things the same as you? Perhaps, I've been around more disputes than you and I think it's dangerous to come to conclusions based on...

This sums it up for me. In one thread SISU are criticised for saying nothing and in this one they are criticised for spouting crap!
