    New comercial manager

    Ideal appointment......he's got experience in flogging off facilities and leaving the club in a bigger mess than he inherited.

    Letters from Mark Robins

    Fundamentally, we are being asked to purchase ST's to continue to fund the failed business model of the club. TF obviously hasn't appreciated that we've sussed out that his business model is a flop! What the club really means is for us to make a donation to the club to keep it going. Perhaps...

    Letters from Mark Robins

    Mark Robins needs the resources to get us out of the mess our owners, over many years, have left us in. However, I am not prepared to buy a ST until I see signs that our owners show some ambition. I expect us to be non-league in two years with the current ownership and no ground, no academy and...

    Butts Park Arena

    Given SISU's default position of putting any organisation that they do business with in court............why would CRFC ever consider getting involved with them? Unless they like paying enormous barrister fees??

    Rumour: Hoffman and Elliot takeover negotiations

    The breach of confidentiality in this matter is shocking. However, it reinforces the image of SISU being a shabby organisation. Every business that has dealings with them, end up being alienated or sued! Why Coventry Rugby Club are even contemplating sharing their ground with these muppets is...

    Open letter from the club to fans

    Has someone hacked into the clubs website and posted this? It's a joke "......whoever wrote this is having a laugh"

    So you want to buy CCFC......

    Excellent analysis OSB! Whilst I would like to see new ownership with a progressive business plan and strategy put in place. I cannot see SISU selling, as the point they relinquish control will be the day the loses will be realised on their balance sheet. We all appreciate that the preference...

    But we dont have any other income.......

    Well done OSB on an interesting comparative analysis of the clubs finances. It reinforces the view that TF is a very poor business leader and has a very limited knowledge base.

    Season ticket prices 17/18 season

    Good points and well made OSB! My concern is that the clubs leadership have only one business model, which has failed to deliver the positive outcomes surely they would want & to blindly follow their current mantra will not change our fortunes. The saying goes about repeating the same thing and...

    Clubs to Vote in May wether Checkatrade Trophy Should Be Scrapped

    If they scrap it.....can we keep the trophy?

    Season ticket prices 17/18 season

    This is nuts. The club had a chance to try and encourage the fans to sign up for season tickets on the positive vibe from the EFL win, but they've messed it up again! How incompetent are the leadership. I was feeling more positive - now I'm alienated again!

    Top 8 budget

    History suggests that we should be very sceptical of this quote from TF. When signings fail to be secured, due to doubts over the budget following poor season ticket sales. The manager will be left with a skeleton playing squad made up of academy graduates and players not yet sold...

    Rumour: Hoffman and Elliot takeover negotiations

    As previously stated this could be another thread which has no basis in fact. However, if Hoffman & Elliott are involved in some sort of consortium to try and prise the club from Avro/Sisu's grasp, then given that they will, most likely, be speculating other peoples funds. Those putting up the...

    Rumour: Hoffman and Elliot takeover negotiations

    Joe Elliott's father was a city fan and along with the Walter Brandish [Vauxhall Brandish] they sponsored city youth teams, when no-one else was interested. Joe has put money into city teams, again when no-one else seemed interested. From my perspective criticism of Joe seems harsh, as he has...

    Rumour: Hoffman and Elliot takeover negotiations

    If and it is a BIG IF there are discussions being undertaken, then don't expect anything to happen too quickly as: a] Agreeing an outline settlement will be tough b] Undertaking due diligence is bound to raise a raft of issues and potential factors to create a variance to terms. c] The legal...

    Rumour: Hoffman and Elliot takeover negotiations

    Picking up on a couple of points regarding a link to Wasps. I cannot see that Wasps would have any interest in a stake owning CCFC, as they currently have a fairly risky financial model linked to the bond issue that will probably need to be rescheduled for payment. To add a football team to that...

    Message to seppala and fisher

    It is blatantly obvious that our owners business model over the past 10 years has failed to add any value to the asset. On a performance point of view they've overseen a demotion from the 2nd tier to the 4th tier of English football, so another failure on that count. Therefore, anyone defending...

    Missing Out?

    Surely, they would have made the council "an offer they can't refuse"? Fisher could have ended up sleeping with the fishes?

    Head of recruitment

    We might be totally wrong about the role of Head of Recruitment. It could be to find some builders, plumbers, electricians, etc for our new ground, which has been promised for years? :happy:

    Looks like this is reason we Wasps won't extend....

    Wasps are trying to maximise the use of the Ricoh. It makes sense IF and it is a big IF Rugby League can be successfully marketed in the Rugby Union close season. I'm not sure Rugby League can be a success down here, as so few people play it & the failure to grow participation across England...
