    Let's get back to harpooning Fisher.

    If The US Government And The Taiban Can Do It

    Yes, I would. I don't like them but they own the club and will continue to drag it down. If they stay at the Ricoh they might see a way to exit with some of their alleged investment. As I said it is a commercial imperative for both sides. It's business.

    If The US Government And The Taiban Can Do It

    Commercial pressures on both should be enough to get them to talk. It may need new reps on each side with an agreement to wipe the slate clean and a genuine desire to do a deal. I would like to see both sides agree to a third party observer to take notes with the deal being that if no...

    Knowl[GMK] says.....

    Tired of all the "I blame the council" stuff which is so missing the point, because: + most of us know the blame is not all on one side + most of us are ignorant of the details + most of us are sick of reading the minutiae of financial he said, she said + the point is only one side is...

    Knowl[GMK] says.....

    Trouble is knowl says he has a balanced view (doesn't everyone think that). Yet he has become obsessed with finding fault with every move made by ACL and CCC. He completely buys the idea that there are 2 sides to the argument which is missing the point now. Events have moved on. I have thought...

    Football League to work with Otium ?

    I won't be going to any home matches outside Coventry, so they will lose a fan who has barely missed a home match in 40 years. Always buy a shirt or 2 + other stuff from shop. No more. Would boycott away games too if it was part of a combined strategy.

    ACL is being very quiet

    ACL still control the main piece on the board, the Ricoh. ACL will be paid in full what they are owed, according to Fisher. They still hold a very strong position and should not panic. ACL are solvent and have a powerful backer, CCC, and could sell and probably do a deal to maintain a...

    No Surrender ACL

    I don't think it odd that CCC support a company they helped create to run a council owned property. Indeed they would be failing in their duties to help build the Ricoh and then fail to ensure it is viable. Why would they allow it to fall into the hands of people they don't trust? None of that...

    No Surrender ACL

    I couldn't care less about ACL or CCC. I see them purely as a third party we have to deal with. No sentiment involved at all but they control the asset we want access to in order to thrive.

    No Surrender ACL

    If TF takes the club away the club will become insolvent very quickly again. ACL can survive for several years, with council backing, if they have to. They could even sell the Ricoh and cut losses, then fold ACL. Even though SISU appear to have won the battle they have not broken ACL, which was...

    city till i die

    As things stand I will not be renewing my 20 year season ticket, even if we play at the Ricoh. I will probably attend home games, but not give them my money up front.

    Inspector Howard Lewis-Jones

    You have to factor in that we may organise protests outside the ground chosen. I would think it would be easy to get a few hundred outside the ground. That would be a headache for security, no question.

    No Surrender ACL

    CCFC need the Ricoh more than ACL need CCFC. Time to do a reasonable deal for both parties. Time for CCFC to put the fans before their arrogance.

    Thank you to the wife and lads

    Ha ha. Never understood why spouses buy presents for other half on mothers or fathers day. OK when kids are little, after that they're on their own. You are not my mum or dad, you are my wife or husband, (delete as appropriate). Anniversaries are for presents between spouses.

    Thank you to the wife and lads

    Maybe you could thank her by not referring to her as the wife. Inanimate objects get called the. Just a thought.

    sisu buying us out of administration is a good thing

    On a simple level why is the club making annual losses? Income must be greater than expenditure unless we are servicing loans. If so, why did Fisher say we are debt-free? Can anyone give simple income and expenditure accounts? Income £5-6 million? Wages and operating costs 3-4 million? The...

    ACL isn't letting this drop

    If CCC have done well out of it then that money has gone towards services in the city or keeping council tax down. No individual or group has made money, unless you are alleging council house corruption? So, it might not have benefited the club but the club is to blame for not financing it...

    Season tickets: to buy or not to buy?

    Looking forward to a statement from Fisher or Waggott about what the plan is now. Are they going to promise anything at all or just business as usual? We were promised a bounce back budget last summer. Will we be promised investment in the team and if not, will the usual suspects be content...

    Season tickets: to buy or not to buy?

    I think season ticket sales are the crucial indicator as SISU have the money up front. If SISU stay and the squad is not strengthened ( a near certainty) I think season ticket sales could fall from 6500ish down to 4000ish, at the Ricoh, particularly if a campaign like the not a penny more is...
