    Just imagine...

    Take your points Godiva but at the heart of this you have to ask who had the real power. RR is a reasonably rich man who sold the business he built to SISU to make the deal work. Any profit on a subsequent sale of ProZone is 86% SISU's . He invested himself in the project which something I am...

    Have some knowledge yes due to my business but really I am only offering an opinion based on the meagre information available. Somehow my idea of transparency and SISU'S differs :D. What follows is just my opinion.... Dont think you can blame any one particular party in this mess, its been a...

    Just imagine...

    "What very few people on this board seem to know is that SISU themselves or the people behind SISU may not necessary have their own money in any of the projects - the money comes from 'private investors' outside the SISU company". The shares in the holding company (which owns CCFC) are owned...

    Article: Platt eager to stay a Coventry player

    looks like he will be staying but to be honest I dont rate him. I also do not see how he fits into the current style of play which relies on plenty of movement up front. Nor do i rate his heading ability, for a big man it really isnt that great and you get the impression it is the ball hitting...

    I have a feeling that RR's settlement has not been finalised and it might go to legal action. Doubt his shares would carry a value of £5m though, he only had a 16% holding in the shares of the holding company Sky Blue Sports & Leisure Ltd worth £12m on 31/05/09 and had loaned that company £1.5m...

    I Think SBJ that they needed £8m ..... if that was indeed the figure.... to clear up outstanding debts (VAT PAYE Wages and possibly some utilities - and yes there will be penalties and interest to pay) and to cover similar costs through to 31st May. After that income becomes dire until August...

    the £ 2.5m is not player aquisitions. IT is the amount by which the cost of the squad has amortised (or depreciated) over the year. Basically the purchase cost of each player is written off over the length of each players contract. There will still be a significant charge in 2010 accounts but...

    I agree the Ricoh has gained a good reputation and there could be more to come in terms of improved income. Past track record of ccfc spoiling things doesnt give me confidence they could follow that through. However Leonard Brody has association with AEG i believe who own major stadia worldwide...

    current health of CCFC

    think you need to read it again - maybe could have put it better but I clearly said total income at £9.5m and overheads at £4m leaving wages at £5.5m. Add wages and overheads = total income to break even. Never looked at £15m As for Kyle & Doyle leaving ok ..... but we brought in Carsley...

    but overheads count towards breakeven ! Total income (excluding profits or losses on player sales) was £8.9m in 2009 accounts. It isnt about just the gate income it is the other income attached to it too plus sponsorship etc. Could probably have worded it better but for simplicity sake i...

    Not saying they havent done their homework but the overheads at the club excluding wages are the best part of £4m and at crowds of 18k that gives total income of say £9.5m leaving wages at £5.5m for all employees (not just players). In 2009 wages were £10.5 do you think SISU have been able to...

    There is a major charm campaign going on at CCFC...... not before time to be honest.... but I think a healthy scepticism remains important when looking at things Sky Blue. It is great that the Chairman wants to meet some of the fans, that Brody wants to be available to talk on radio etc, and...

    Article: Coventry City will be forced to sell players

    Selling the better players really isnt anything new for ccfc is it. It is a fact of life for us and many other teams. So in that sense it isnt really news. I think you should look at it a different way. The better players get the bigger wages and if sold would command some sort of fee. The...

    Errm...Debt...

    It is misleading if you look at one company because CCFC Limited and CCFC Holdings limited are part of a group called Sky Blue Sports & Leisure Limited which has SISU Capital limited as the majority shareholder. CCFC Ltd are 100% owned by CCFC Holdings and CCFC Holdings Ltd are 100% owned by...

    Preston (H) Pre-match Talk.

    maybe this is an opportunity to give some of the young lads a go. Jeffers could get a start especially as PNE have problems at center half. But with Gunner, Deegan and now apparently Clingan missing its the central midfield that worries me

    Preston (H) Pre-match Talk.

    I didnt realise Clingan wasnt playing? The CCFC official site only says Osbourne, McPake, Stead, Deegan for definite and Sears & Gunnarsson doubtful, with Eastwood carrying a knock ......... did i say only!!!!! Its just like the last bad run..... the squad is too small

    Will we keep westwood?

    Have to agree with Stopper it is far better this is sorted out soon than it drags on through the summer or to next January Oldskyblue58

    Will we keep westwood?

    Personally i think we will lose Westwood in the summer. To be honest no one is irreplaceable just some a lot harder to replace than others. His approaching the club to open contract negotiations is a win win situation for him. If he gets a better contract he is laughing, but by making the...
