    ACL to allow CCFC Ltd to play for free!

    Still searching the statement for the "only" with reference to the offer being made whilst CCFC is in administration. I interpret it as a no strings offer, if you take it at face value.

    Its not about the rent

    Maybe that's the plan.

    Ricoh this season

    That is not clear from the statement issued. There was no use of the words, "only if". You are assuming that to be true without confirmation.

    ACL make a bid for CCFC Ltd

    Mutton has been replaced by Ann Taylor. I think the council would sell. They would be hard pushed to do a worse job than our current owners, who have set the bar low.

    ACL make a bid for CCFC Ltd

    I have to confess I suggested just this to a family member months ago but was told it couldn't happen. I kept the thought to myself as a result. ACL buying the club and selling it on to approved buyers seems a pretty good idea.

    Sisu back in full control and us out of admin by Tuesday?

    SISU saved CCFC from admin. Now we are a division lower, the debt has doubled, the gates have halved and they want us to go cap in hand to any tinpot ground that will have us. Oh, and we are in admin. Saviours like this. The cure is worse than the disease.

    Just For Fun: Your Preferential New Owners and Why

    I was being ironic or sarcastic. Of course the council cannot be responsible for how a company runs itself but some of our fans still fall for the smokescreen that it's the rent that is the issue.

    Just For Fun: Your Preferential New Owners and Why

    TF, at the forum on Friday, claimed we have broken even on transfers, in other words they have got back anything they paid out. So please stop pretending they have spent any money. They haven't ... Except to pay wages and operating costs, which must be lower than income. Do the maths, it really...

    Just For Fun: Your Preferential New Owners and Why

    SISU are the only game in town I blame the council. SISU are the only game in town. I blame the council. SISU are ...... Sorry, I just woke up from a drunken haze dream. What have I missed?

    This passing game

    I blame ACL and CCC for our inability to play a passing game.

    funny feeling

    Ah, there's the rub Ambition, aspiration, dreaming of glory. What being a football fan is all about. A football fan, by definition, has to believe, have faith, otherwise it's just 22 geezers kicking a ball about a piece of grass. Old fashioned, no doubt, but without the "dream" football...

    The trust need to get ACL to speak

    Maybe because they control the only football stadium in Coventry and most of us think doing a deal with ACL is better than not doing one. I think you agree.

    Proably this

    The sky blue is OK but it would be class without the silly slash line across the chest.

    funny feeling

    Ah but we must be grateful that we will still have a club and gather in a non league stadium to watch a non league team or be berated for being glory hunters who deserted the club.

    Just For Fun: Your Preferential New Owners and Why

    Can everyone stop launching these threads which ask about the future. It is much more fun to argue over tiny scraps of information over who is TO BLAME. We British much prefer that to looking forwards. Anyway, it doesn't seem to matter to CCFC, FL or the Administrator what any of us think. We...

    funny feeling

    Too many assumptions in there for me to unravel. I don't think our fans need any more excuses not to go. Fans have to see some hope and aspiration. We were in decline before SISU but they have drained the life out of what was left. There is no chance we will be in the top half whilst our...

    funny feeling

    I am getting at the fact that we could be a successful club and get higher attendances if the club is making progress, on an upward trajectory, something, by your own admission, you have no experience of. I assure you it is possible as countless other clubs have shown. To your last point..about...

    Who do you expect and want?

    I expect SISU to be named, get the club out of Admin, pressurise ACL to do a new deal and play a brinkmanship game about where we will play until the last possible moment. After that they will continue to run the club blaming everyone else for why we have to field a team of kids and crocks...
