Well if the court finds in favour of Sisu, its only against the Council. ACL would not have been found of any wrongdoing, I imagine they would just be told to give the money back. Providing they can find a bank willing to lend to them it wouldn't benefit sisu in the slightest.

With you both on this as well. The City of Coventry needs a professional football club playing within its boundaries. If Sisu have decided that the current CCFC is not up to that job then we need to have our own club.

Did Wimbledon get any help when they reformed?

They are called the Sphinx because they were founded by workers at Armstrong Sidderley Motors. The logo of Armstrong Sidderley was the Sphinx in Egypt.

There is no law against that though in its broadest sense. Basically whats happened is the councils actions improved the profitability of ACL, and therefore increased the value of ACL. Perfectly legal as far as I'm aware. Just hard luck on Sisu that the value of ACL went up and they didn't want...

That can be said for the whole case. That CCC were just securing the asset from YB, allowing Sisu to buy ACL at a later date. I've seen nothing that proves the council loan prevented Sisu from buying ACL. Depending on its context, the comment about "Hell freezing over before selling the Ricoh...

Is this bit here not irrelevant? Mr Thompson alleged the council was “riding two horses” by negotiating with Sisu while “behind their backs” the council was seeking a deal with the bank to buy out the mortgage itself. Unless some sort of exclusivity agreement had been signed then I don't...

No that proves it does work. The whole point is to prevent clubs getting into debt. The Man City sponsorship is good for the club. The owners have footed the bill.

Are you Jim Callahan? ;)

Well like you I have no idea about that, hence why I've never launched an unprovoked attack on him. Why do you hate him so much anyway?

What's wrong with preparing for different scenarios?

Was it you that used to throw around the unsubstantiated rumour that he would turn up for training drunk?

If we were put as low as Wimbledon were we would go into the Midland Alliance. I found the average attendances at these clubs here: http://www.nonleaguematters.co.uk/divisions/20/ there down at the bottom. Cov Sphinx currently best supported club with an average of 141. We would...

I'm proud of the team not the club.

What would you do to help then?

The fact you have named 5 teams there is exactly the problem. If their not coming back we need a successor club. Something we all see as the continuation of our club. If we all threw our weight behind a new team it would fly up the leagues.

It would be hillarious see Fishers face when he hears that City of Coventry FC (known by its fans as Coventry City), nicknamed the Sky Blues, using an adaptation of the citys coat of arms as its badge has been set up. No doubt he would threaten legal action, claiming those names to be...

For me its worth thinking about for now, we don't have to do anything yet. If/when a new stadium outside Coventry is announced, that is when we as fans should say we want no part of this. We are setting our own club up. The only value of the club at the moment is the idea that the fans will...

What ever happened to trueskyblue with all his legal knowledge?

I wouldn't be surprised if that stupid cow of an owner has seen the A45 is the Coventry Road so she thinks its more or less Coventry.
