Im gonna guess that it will be confirmation of the embargo being lifted.

Well that's mighty nice of you thanks. No room for the interested observer then? My support of the team is suspended, perhaps indefinitely, perhaps not, only time will tell.

As far as im concerned there is no CCFC. The club that was CCFC died the second they kicked off at Sixfields. It could be resurrected if the club currently calling itself CCFC returns to Coventry under new ownership but i don't want to wait 5 years on the off chance that it might happen.

Yup the plan has to be set in motion now to be ready for next season.

Oh sorry, misread your post.

Thing is, how do you insure that the new owners will be better? Unless there is fan ownership involved you could just be exchanging one bunch of crooks for another.

Agree entirely, CCFC is already dead. It died the minute they kicked off at Sixfields

No, my point is that SISU have consistently demonstrated that they have no interest in the welfare of the club.

Morecambe have some of the smallest crowds in the league so no surprise that their travelling support can't be arsed to make a 600 mile round trip for a cup game.

Exactly. If SISU took control of the Ricoh tomorrow and the following day Barrats rock up offering them X-amount of millions to bulldoze the site and build houses on it they would snap their hand off. So long as SISU remain we will never be secure.

Option 1 for me, the rot is too deeply set in. Needs a fresh start, be that CCFC and the Ricoh both under new ownership or else a phoenix club starting from scratch.

Well strictly speaking, neither. 1883 is still just an idea and United is a new team owned and operated by City fans but is not a Phoenix club in the literal sense. I think that if 1883 gets off the ground it makes sense to combine their efforts with United as they have a team in place already...

Im sure the FL said that the liquidation didnt matter in footballing terms now that the golden share has been moved to holdings. I would guess they will sign off the accounts quite quickly now as thats one less stick to beat them with. As you say though, I dont expect SISU to go out and splash...

As I said above, now that SISU have filed accounts the embargo should be lifted so i dont think we are bound by the one in one out, 75% of the wage rules anymore. Or at least it should be in the process of being lifted.

Precisely and thanks for pointing that out. They knew at that time that their club was going and wouldn't be coming back, we however can still cling a to a small hope that City may return to Cov in the not too distant future.

I see where you are coming from but SISU have made it plain that they want total control of the Ricoh and nothing less. I fear that if we were to buy the Higgs share that it would only kill off any chance of a Ricoh return. If the club refuse to come back, what does the trust do with half an...

I've seen a few people say that but im not sure. AFC Wimbledon started in the ninth tier, not the very bottom but not far off it. I don't see that we would get much above that as a starting point.

Aye I agree with you on that, they perhaps deserve a second chance BUT I still think that if we are forced to start from the bottom of the non-league structure then it just won't be practical to use the Ricoh anyway, assuming ACL would even be interested.
