    Coventry city set for busy deadline day in the transfer Market

    think AT's comment about busy was more a general comment about the day than specific to CCFC. Cant see anyone going

    Busy transfer day apparently, but ....

    you could read it that it will be a busy transfer day as a general comment and that AT wasnt actually referring to it being busy for us. He doesnt want to do any outward business

    fans shares

    Saw this on covmad http://www.coventrycity-mad.co.uk/news/tmnw/give_your_shares_to_supporters_brody_696872/index.shtml understand the sentiment and firmly believe that the fans should have shares in the club going forward. Think the timing is wrong, right now GH & backers is making a bid...

    Sisu have some brass neck

    well public record shows that the first year of accounts all three were directors together we lost £8m and went from net assets of £1.4m (had maintained this figure for many years previously) to net liabilities of £6.2m (1996 accounts) and progressed the club with regular losses to net...

    Sisu have some brass neck

    With respect the reason SISU & RR are/were here is because of the poor management of the clubs finances under successive boards of directors led by the likes Richardson, Robinson and McGinnity. Those trustees of the club well being took us to £60m in debt and the brink of extinction. How can you...

    Rotherham Chairman - Coventry Bid Was A Joke

    yes but i dont think its his place to say some of it. Think we already knew it. He is using any leverage he can to keep keep clubs away from ALF good spot ashbyjan :)

    Operation Premiership??

    lost count Rich, not trying to be unhelpful but from now on will just refer folk to previous posts where i can :) its taking up too much time and distracting from my work No disrespect intended to any one who has asked questions of me

    Operation Premiership??

    have explained before - but here goes...... the option is to buy the shares of higgs trust (it is ACL not the council or Higgs trust that owns the lease so you cant just buy Higgs Trust share of the lease because their name isnt on it). Not paying £10m for the option to buy (they had already...

    Operation Premiership??

    except the council own the other 50% and the freehold which gives them substantial influence. Dont think they would surrender control easily or cheaply or until they know CCFC is viable. That could be a very expensive 1%. The stadium is a multi use venue used for football 50 times a year, it...

    Operation Premiership??

    dont know but there are two ways to own it..... long leasehold probably £25m ACL own that at the moment ..... or the freehold which the council own probably £80m upwards (all pure guesswork). Either way the stumbling block could be the council as they have said all along they wont sell to any...

    Operation Premiership??

    owning half of ACL doesnt give us a half share of the profits- it entitles us to dividends that it would be illegal for acl to pay at the moment until such time as they have distributable profits which on current results would be in 7 years. Also rent is nowhere near £80k a week

    Do you WANT the Hoffman bid to succeed?

    cheers Otis i needed a laugh :claping hands:

    Operation Premiership??

    we dont actually need to spend £10m on players to have a decent team. Reckon AT could do it on far less than that Wont get the stadium for £10m only half share in ACL - which wont bring extra income

    Coventry city receive formal bid from Gary Hoffman.

    Stuff like this is why i am really tired of it all. Covmad dont know that but it makes good press on the site and for the CT. Sisu undertook to ensure there was funding for this season that covers all expenses not just some. It also means all options are open come end of season it doesnt mean...

    Do you WANT the Hoffman bid to succeed?

    not that i dont want SISU to move on or even that I am against GH but before I can answer I need to know much more about what the bid is. Dont want more of the same just under a different owner (the owner wont be GH ). Not prepared to accept anything at CCFC on face value. Spoke to someone...
