    Are the club lying?.....Again?

    Why does eveyone still keep going on about admin? It is not going to happen - the majority of the debt (that we don't have obviously) is to SISU managed funds, around £24 million, I am sure there is some debt to suppliers, HMRC etc but if we were to go into admin the SISU would lose probably all...

    owning half the stadium

    Just to clear it up ACL do not own the stadium (please note Mr Doolaly) - the stadium belongs to North Coventry Holdings Ltd a 100% council owned company. ACL has a 50 year lease on the building and operates all functions within the structure. ACL Ltd is owned 50% by the council and 50% by the...

    Fans forum

    Don't have a problem with a centre back pairing of Keough and Crainie as both decent footballers and in the system the AT wants to play we need control of the ball at the back not simply clogging it forward ala McPake or Wood. A lot will depend on if and when Turner returns and if he returns as...

    "Jaw Dropping" story in tomorrows telegraph?

    Don't live in Cov area so cannot get hold of CT and there is nothing on website that can possibly be described as jaw dropping so can anyone enlighten me as to what it might be or is it more hot air and piss and wind from the CT editor

    SISU to continue to finance club

    SISU have a different definition of funding - the CT talks of the millions they pumped into the club in March to keep us going and it turned out this was actually from the sale of a Coventry City asset in Prozone, so in most peoples minds this was not funding just selling off assets to keep us...

    ccfc out of running for le fondre

    AT cannot spend anytging because we have no money - the club never actually put a bid in - when they heard that Rotherham actually wanted money we didn't pursue it. Don't hold your breath for any loanees as they cost money as well - also Prem teams will only be releasing kids and we have enough...

    "They just seem to support one of those clubs that never do anything during a season"

    Just as some deluded city fans still think that when we play teams like donny or peterborough we just have to turn up to win then I am sure most teams in this division look upon us as a 3 point banker, certainly at home and probably at "fortress" Ricoh as well. Most have forgotten our...

    George Boateng to Forest ??

    Rob - I am not concerned about Murphy - I think he is a very able replacement and the best we could have hoped for. I was a massive fan of Westwood's and I will be happy if Murphy is anywhere near as good. The rest of the team is what frightens me - we have a first team squad of 27 with only 13...

    George Boateng to Forest ??

    Forgetting the off the field baggage etc King was the best footballer we have had for a long time and will be impossible to replace especially as we don't even appear to be trying. Westwood was a better keeper than Murphy will ever be and Westy was worth a good 8 to 10 points a season - happy if...

    George Boateng to Forest ??

    Smiley - can you supply us with some of the happy pills you are on! There's optimism, blind optimism and that - we were pants last season, have lost a bunch of good players and you seriously expect us to do better than last year? I admire your attitude but fear the worst personally - a few...

    Dispatches - How To Buy A Football Club

    Good to notice that even these bent, unscrupilous, dodgy, dishonest crooks wouldn't touch the poison chalice that is Cov City.

    Sammy Clingan

    If Leeds offer anything half decent - £500k - SISU will snap their hands off. We will not be offering Clingan or anyone else new contracts as we are skint and going to stay that way for the forseeable future. Sale of Clingan would get some much needed money into coffers and keep us going for...

    lack of transfer activity - a positive spin

    Spot on edgy - only transfers we will be involved in are sales or loans out. Won't see anyone coming in as we simply have no money and owners who are unwilling to put more than the bare minimum in just to keep us afloat. The sooner fans get to grips with the fact that no signings and survival...

    'SISU out' demonstrations

    Also I certainly don't think that SISU give a flying F**k about the supporters and any protest will be futile - the only thing they would understand would be a withdrawl of income - ie lack of gate receipts, programme sales, merchandising sales etc. Yes it may harm the club short term but if it...

    'SISU out' demonstrations

    They are not funding the club - they are arranging funding based on its assets. SISU are not paying money into the club - they are borrowing against the clubs assets to fund their own failing business. What will happen when they run out of assets to borrow against? We are told they raised a...

    Leicester and their spending!

    To be quite honest I will be glad if we still have a club for the first game of the season that isn't starting on -10 points and without Clingan, Cranie, Turner and Juke. The result will be overshadowed by the anti SISU protests, aftermatch sit in or ideally a total boycott of the game

    'SISU out' demonstrations

    The problem is OSB that SISU are slowly bleeding the club dry, they have sold or mortgaged all the assets and the only next logical step is the sale of key players. All that cutting off their income will do is either make them take up Hoffmans offer quicker or get us into admin quicker which is...

    Hoffman - CCFC could go into administration or SISU could get rid of more players

    Problem is Tommy that some fans seem to think that admin would be a good thing - pretty sure they simply don't appreciate the full ramifications of it - and Hoffman is simply pointing out that it isn't some sort of panacea nor is he waiting for it to happen before making a bid, again as some...
