    If only he had tunnel vision in many directions.

    SISU tenacity

    You shouldn't be surprised. From Wikipedia: "Sisu is a Finnish word generally meaning determination, bravery, and resilience."

    Michael

    I could really use your help. Our internet connection is terrible - up and down like something that goes up and down a lot. It is with BT. Whenever I phone to try and get it fixed I am directed overseas (playing to your strengths). I cannot get them to do anything - they just seem to want to...

    Statement against the Council and ACL

    Very unlikely. All of the spelling is correct, it is not ungrammatical and the points are sequential and logical building up to a conclusion. Unless his Mum wrote it for him it's someone else.

    Questions To Answer

    I love all this numerology. Perhaps I should go to the hill and hold up the number 0, to signify the number of shits I give about the side since they moved to Northampton.

    Kcic front bid to buy club

    Seems that way doesn't it? Just need to know if SISU would accept an offer in principle - no numbers specified. Sounds an immensely useful thing to do. PS You cannot see, but I am wearing my sarcastic face.

    Kcic front bid to buy club

    Michael I was willing to assume that the terms of the deal were indeed favourable to the club. The headline terms sound great but as Nick pointed out to me, without the conditions for when crowds exceed 5k we actually have no idea if it is a good deal or not. Your repeated refusal to...

    Kcic front bid to buy club

    He assumes that the details are favourable to CCFC. You appear to assume they are not. Neither is an informed view. Michael - stop all this nonsense here now and tell us the detail about the terms when crowds exceed 5k. Is this an average or per game? What is CCFC's contribution?

    Please do not assume I am as shallow as you. I make my own decisions.

    Kcic front bid to buy club

    I guess you refer to the specific terms for CCFC's contribution when crowds exceed 5k. I agree - I had assumed that they would continue in the same spirit but I should not. Michael what are these terms please? Are there any other details you feel are missing Nick that would make a material...

    Kcic front bid to buy club

    The deal is already tremendous. You are just extrapolating. Why stop there? Why doesn't KCIC pay for the stadium for free for 5 years? Why not free forever, plus a £500k contribution for player purchases every year? And so on... The deal is already enough - it does not need gilt edges. If...

    Kcic front bid to buy club

    What has been offered is an insurance policy known as a collar or a floor - whilst paying a peppercorn rent, SISU still runs the, granted negligible, risk that attendances are low and they lose money. By saying that the rent is free whilst attendance is lower than 5k SISU no longer has any risk...

    Kcic front bid to buy club

    One more comment on this. If this were really a property deal, it would also be of course an attempt to make a profit at the expense of the people of Coventry - the ratepayers. Would a hedge fund do something like that? Well the answer is: of course they would. Indeed, deals to take the piss...

    Kcic front bid to buy club

    The offer to buy is clearly just symbolic and pretty pointless. I'm sure that SISU has already received better offers than £50k + no debt. The offer to pay for the ground, which is similar in style to the Hoffman offer some months ago, is interesting as a piss take. Here is my thinking - and...
