Happy Christmas all and let's hope that things take a turn for the better in 2014.

Perhaps it was poorly made............

If a third party said that they wanted to buy CCFC off SISU and said that they "would be prepared to have 2 independent valuations as a starting point for discussions", do you think SISU would: a) Say, great idea let's do it - or b) Say, if you want to buy, make us an offer?

Not like those nice people from the Daily Mail.

Couldn't argue with any of that.

SISU made the decision to move the club to Northampton. The result was not difficult to forecast. If they are genuinely surprised by the financial impact, they should accept the offer to move back to he Ricoh. Unless they have a different agenda.....

Perhaps we could all meet halfway between Coventry and Northampton and sing Silent Night?

Well put. Wouldn't want any blame going against those nice chaps (and the nice chapess) from SISU.

Why would you spend £25m on a 32,000 seater stadium, when for the same money you could get a 12,000 seater that you might be able to expand up to 23,000 at some unspecified time in the future?

I really didn't believe that, but now that I've seen your post saying "fact" - and in capitals - I'm convinced

Like on match days? :)

So to summarise: You're really nasty for insulting me for going to Sixfields, so I'll rise above it by insulting you for not going. Oh and by the way the gates would be higher but people are scared off by "empty vessels" on a website.........

I'm with you on the theory, but there are few other options that offer the combination of capacity and geography - and I do believe that the message has been very positively received (IMO, no coincidence about the timing of national press interest).

Frankly I doubt they were ever in the same room - quick phone call should have sufficed......:)

Which is why the away following at MK - which I know you were uncomfortable with for very valid reasons - was such an important statement.

If I was going to be any other species, deer wouldn't be too bad....:) As I think you know, I was suggesting that based on what they told me, I could imagine that their approval of the plan was probably based on them asking SISU if they really had the money and then saying - OK that's good!

When I spoke to the FL back in August and asked them how they had been convinced that the club could not possibly play in Coventry, I was told that Otium/SISU had told them so. I have no reason to believe that their due diligence on the funding plan was any less facile.

Remember the guy on the phone in (last week?) who was ranting that the Guardian article was all part of a left wing conspiracy against the poor hard done by hedge fund....... Wonder what his rationalisation is now? Presumably that Rupert Murdoch has been a revolutionary communist all along?
