    Coventry City Council have Failed CCFC

    How do you know they didn't try and negotiate with them? Is it not possible SISSU's stance was as stubborn and awkward before it became public as it has been since? It's all very well saying the council should do this and the council should do that and defend SISU who have done nothing to...

    Time for Plain Speaking

    Yes you can but the odds are crap. Who cares if they disagree anyway?

    West Terrace, Highfield Rd

    Millwall (the FA Cup) thought it was.

    Steven pressley

    Agreed. But that is part and parcel of being in Lge 1 and Lge 2. Very few pay a traditional transfer fee. Not sure whether our situation off the field puts some players off. I know it wouldn't fill me with confidence if they were trying to sign me. But it would depend on what other...

    Lack of publicity to our plight IN COVENTRY

    We seem to have support across the political parties. I wonder if at local elections whether voters could be given the opportunity to sign the petition?

    Apathy

    I don't try and ration out the blame. SISU are currently running the club so I blame them. Poor accountancy and lack of transparency over the figures/debt. The inexcusable treatment of the fans. The blame culture and limp repetition of we have made mistakes. It's not so much the dispute...

    Who really owns Coventry City Football Club?

    It was a few things that had me thinking over the last few days 1. Pondering over the accounts and the Arvo angle 2. ML on CWR saying Bing backers were anonymous (well so are SISU's) 3. The continual references to 'our owners', well who are they? SISU, Arvo, Joy or all of them. 4. The...

    Labovitch on BBC CWR at 6 tonight

    I know why you highlight the Greek economy. However I thought you might have slipped the good old USA in there as well? ;-)

    Who really owns Coventry City Football Club?

    I think you are right, we need political pressure and our elected leaders backing. But please not some self publicist like Nikki Sinclair. Mind you our political parties not secure from dodgy backers and investments!

    It seems SISU have a Greek mentality to contracts.

    Who really owns Coventry City Football Club?

    I would like to thank everyone that has contributed so far, as everyone I feel has made a valid contribution. We haven't had the normal slanging match that most post degenerate to. It seems we all have concerns, to some degree about the following: 1. The high level of financing the...

    Who really owns Coventry City Football Club?

    As I said earlier, are the FA and FL fit for governance, do we need to overhaul the way our national sport is ran?

    colchester match thread

    I was hoping we would win today. Defensive frailties raise their head again. Someone posted we need to be more aggressive and concentrate more...I agree with that. I can see why SP gave Adams a go LM, however it seems from what people have said it didn't work. Need a few more wins yet.

    SISU, according to themselves, didn't have time to look at the books properly so it's not their fault. Didn't take the Greek long to realise we were a financial car crash.

    Nuneaton

    It is not ideal and I would rather both clubs had their own facilities. But as we are so close to each other, I would rather share with Nuneaton than anyone else.

    Who really owns Coventry City Football Club?

    Grendel I think I have made it quite clear, this is not just a bash at SISU thread, there are numerous investors at clubs who should draw concern: Chelsea, Man City, Blackpool, Birmingham City and Coventry all spring to mind. I am sure there are others who deserve scrutiny. I don't wish to...

    Nuneaton

    I would love Nuneaton to get promoted, what an achievement it would be! I would also want them to stay up. However I wouldn't want them beating us or getting higher league positions than us. I would hope they could afford to remain in Nuneaton. I wouldn't mind if they played at the...

    Who really owns Coventry City Football Club?

    What if it was connected to Al-Qaida, slavery, human trafficking or drugs. It may seem extreme but these people do use tax havens and hedge funds. It is recognised world wide. But there are more honest investors also. It's the anonymity and lack of transparency that is the problem. RFC...

    Who really owns Coventry City Football Club?

    Labovitch said in his interview on CWR last night, "the problem with Bing they never revealed who their investors are." A strange accusation because SISU haven't either. SISU and Arvo Master fund are hedge funds for anonymous investors. The later based in the Caymen Islands so no accounts...

    Yeah Torch the future is all if and buts, but Sky Blue Pete's projections a realistic ones. Your meteor one although possible is unlikely.
