That's because you cannot remember beyond a decade. With positive owners CCFC could build slowly and if promotion was achieved the average gate would rise to 15k and beyond. It is about stability and slow progress. SISU will achieve the opposite.

I've gone for PH4 only because he has already gained the confidence of the Coventry mafia, which may of course be a bad thing, and this bid includes some fans consultation. Also I distrust big corporations by instinct. I will be happy if Byng bid succeeds as long as we are not left with SISU...

That's true but we have no influence over that. If it happens we have to hold new owners to account and make sure old mistakes are not repeated. FWIW I think new starts are important and new owners would definitely be held to account now that so many of our fans have scrutinised events and will...

Excellent point. TF throws out so many statements designed to confuse it is great when someone, like you, points out inconsistencies. So what is the rent strike about then, except to wriggle out of a debt? TF contends that ACL cannot give CCFC the revenue anyway, so why has he criticised ACL...

Looks like WBA fans who have sailed free from all this may have cause to be concerned. Chairman has just Transferred his 60% stake from Ltd to a new company Holdings. Sound familiar?

How about something about income? He said tonight that we had roughly broken even on transfers in and out. Money from tickets, car parks and corporate and shop must be several million per year so why is the debt rising rapidly? Even after paying the players our income should exceed our...

Agree with all the above. Heartily sick of the plastics. The day we went into Admin Sky sports led with, will Rio play for England ever again, followed by injury update on some nonentity whose name I don't recall, followed by CCFC Disgraceful

It is so obvious when TF or his sidekick speak that they are trying to obfuscate ... smother us with financial detail, push the idea that the club is out of control through no fault of the current owners and suck us into their solution as the only one. They are trying to wear us down to despair...

Well done to Steve. Cutting through the spin about rent to the real issue, incompetent management. That's Steve from the floor, not the panel.

Steve is doing a grand job, telling it like it is. TF is just waffling.

The difference is that I am a stakeholder in CCFC and the owners have the responsibility to sort out commercial deals. They have failed. ACL and CCC are nothing to me. I am not a stakeholder or a resident. They are merely the landlords of the club I support. If they are in the wrong it is a...

West Bromwich is closer to Coventry than Walsall is.

Yes agreed, under new owners. I meant the problem could be overcome. He was suggesting it is impossible for the club to thrive if it stays at the Ricoh.

Some fan on Midlands bulletin after 10 o clock news, BBC, said something about the fans don't mind the new stadium plan as long as we stay at the Ricoh in the meantime. I disagree completely so don't speak for me. The plan to build a new stadium is ludicrous and we should not be encouraging TF...

Simple. We all boycott the food and drink stalls at the Ricoh. The club sells food and drink from the barrow at Tesco and in all the car parks of businesses around the Ricoh and we all buy stuff from them. This Compass stuff is a commercial challenge that any competent business can get around...

Why doesn't that surprise me?

Can someone take a photo of the infamous barrow outside Tesco and post it on Facebook page, twitter and other social media. Attach it to all your correspondence to FL etc. Send it to all media outlets and show the world what our club has now been reduced to. It is beyond embarrassing now.

He made a big thing of the need to come out of Admin swiftly. Is this getting his excuse in for SISU buying back Limited? Or softening us up for the alternative was liquidation?

Someone needs to subvert the event by asking the audience: hands up if you will watch home games outside Coventry? That will show TF what he is up against. Follow up swiftly with, hands up if you won't. It will be too late for anyone to stop a very effective point.

Why would Coventry City fans, many of whom have followed the club for decades, witnessing thin and thinner, NEED AN EXCUSE to stop supporting the club they have shown such loyalty to? Most will do so with a heavy heart and you have little understanding of the nature of long term support if you...
