The pubs near me that have shut down are mostly the ones that served crap beer and couldn't give a damn about customer service. And no matter how good it was, if my local pub decided to move itself 35 miles away, then I would stop using it.

I look forward to the campaign - how about "Fickle Fans Out" or "Keep Cov For The Real Fans" or even "Not One Glory Hunter More".

ACL statement this evening: "We still believe our action against Northampton Town Football Club has strong legal merit. "In light, however, of the Football League's decision to award the Golden Share to Otium Entertainment and the recent public statement made by Joy Seppala, it has become...

They have had that investment for nearly 3 years. If they were to sell today, they would lose about 10% of what they invested. If instead, they had invested in a basket of FTSE shares, they would be able to sell today with a profit of about 20%. Quite clearly, it is not only football clubs...

At £2m per match and with gates of 10,000, that's only £200 per fan. Seems reasonable to me, doesn't every fan pop in to Tesco for a couple of bottles of Bollinger and a tin of caviar before the game?

Good point. It is important to note that SISU are not a hedge fund, they manage private equity and the hedge fund is just one of their product offerings. As most hedge funds are doing badly (and SISU's is doing very badly) it would be no surprise if SISU decided to abandon this sector. Who...

I see the philanthropists are out in force and want to give the Ricoh to a private equity fund that has fallen on hard times. It is genuinely heart warming to see the upkeep of a Holland Park mansion taking precedence over the financial needs of a charity and local services.

An imaginary piece of land that has remained invisible to the many property developers who specialise in identifying such opportunities - sound like a place in a children's story.

The offspring of Tim Fisher and Nikki Sinclaire, can you imagine? Supporters of compulsory sterilisation would have a field day.

Funnily enough, you are the first to use the S-word on this particular thread.

Maybe they are quoting Byng because Dhinsa was unavailable.

It does amuse me that people can go on about about the rent agreement bleeding the club dry or even wrecking boards. The simple fact is that SISU paid Ricoh outgoings for little more than 4 years yet have managed to clock up additional debt of over £45m while reducing the depth and quality of...

You obviously don't realise how much work goes into asking your secretary to book a First Class flight, a limousine and the Presidential Suite at the exotic location chosen for the latest FIFA Bribefest.

There is a pertinent part of the last quote from PKWH: "We will now wait for the club to make their best offer to return to play in Coventry.” That is a clear invitation to Otium/SISU to either agree a lease with ACL or make an offer for the leasehold. As they have not accepted the...

The club has a lot of potential with an owner who actually knows something about football and has some sort of passion for football. It doesn't have a future with an owner that sees it only as a pawn in a money making game.

You might have expected that one of the reasons the FA didn't notice the fans of CCFC being shafted was because they were busy with other matters. But apparently they weren't and according to their own former head of compliance, putting their head in the sands is they way they deal with other...

SISU have opened a shop in Coventry - whopee we are moving in the right direction! FFS, Manchester United have a store in Singapore, but it doesn't mean they will be moving there any time soon.

I think that has already happened - they just won't accept it.

Perhaps you mean he left a few things out from the original EDM. He has now corrected that and tabled an amendment that includes the following: "the League should have investigated the situation as well as the background of an organisation that put itself into administration having run up many...

Bob Ainsworth published the following earlier today: October 1, 2013 · 3:51 pm Football League contradicting its own statements again In March, prior to my adjournment debate on Coventry City Football Club, the Football League emailed me a statement to clarify their position as I had asked...
