    ACL - played hardball and lost!

    Again very sorry that you've been dragged into all this, it's not your fight it's ours against SISU.

    Ah you mean Otium, Or SB&L, sorry that was mean you meant Holdings.

    Was that a slur against Joy because normally I'd mention the libel/defamation implications but I can't be arsed anymore.

    Wake up supporters! (The sequel)

    Tim said that ship has sailed into an eagle or something like that, so not much chance of that. And what in the unlikely event ACL say piss off to SISU we don't want you? How long are we stuck at Northampton?

    Coventry City Ladies play at the Ricoh

    At the moment I'm working on the 11th but can potentially change that so I can go, but I can't do the 25th as there are people on holiday then so I hope it's the 11th.

    Now even today in what is seemingly our darkest hour - that made me smile.

    what do ACL gain..

    I thought it best not to put that in given I suspect it would require the supporters to be liking them.

    what do ACL gain..

    Okay so Sisu have the assets listed above and could sell them all tomorrow if they got what they wanted for them. However some can't be sold as individual assets as some of them aren't worth much without the Golden Share. So looking at the club as a business as a whole, what's the value going to...

    what do ACL gain..

    Okay turning this on it's head slightly, what assets do SISU actually have in the Coventry City Football Club sense? Ryton, Players contracts, Merchandise, The CCFC trademarks and name, And probably the Golden Share (with associated revenue e.g. TV money and Radio commentary) Have I...

    Trust Statement

    Well for an academy there's the Higgs Centre, which could possibly count as training grounds etc. Players might be difficult though.

    Don't think so, FL can only hand out the Golden Share can't they?

    Trust Statement

    We don't even know what Joy looks like and thanks to the move to Sixfields we may never do so again.

    Trust Statement

    FIFA and UEFA are beyond the remit of the UK Parliament I think but if it was a government thing where someone neutral was put in charge the old boy network might not be able to sway it. Doesn't the S in DCMS stand for Sport - Why don't they do something?

    Trust Statement

    Anyone else think someone seriously needs to investigate football from the top down starting with the FA and FL?

    Administration Meeting 2/8/13 Official Thread

    Goodish statement from the Trust, if not a little rushed in the preparation possibly.

    ACL - played hardball and lost!

    SISU agree heads of terms with the Higgs, I believe this was during the rent boycott. PWKH said that they had heard nothing from them since then but would still sell to them. I think the council have said that they would veto any sale of the Higgs shares to SISU. However as no attempt to...

    ACL - played hardball and lost!

    No I was actually not saying that ACL rejecting the CVA would keep us in Coventry when I first posted this When I said I was actually posing a question rather than saying something definitive, and I'm sorry that should have had a question mark after it (time for an edit). Apologies for...

    ACL - played hardball and lost!

    Not sure at all although didn't that nice poster true sky blue say that it isn't all over yet and a deal can still be done? I am actually seriously hoping that ACL have some master plan to counter the SISU one to move us to Sixfields and rejecting the CVA was part of that. The only thing it does...

    ACL - played hardball and lost!

    Maybe because they wanted to keep us in Coventry where we belong? Just a thought? Now if you're talking about vindictiveness it isn't on this point that you could level that at ACL, maybe you could about doing a SISU on NTFC.

    ACL - played hardball and lost!

    My worry has always been that ACL weren't bluffing when they said that they can survive without CCFC and they manage to do so*. We're then homeless and in need of the White Elephant that Young Timothy claims he will build, well does anyone really think they'll build it? So we're likely never to...
