Possibly, but I'm sure that action was within company law under compulsory acquisition. I think they used the argument that without them they wouldn't take over the club, it would've gone under and the shares become worthless anyway. Don't know if other clubs have undergone the same experience...

Well, we do have another one that's quite memorable ;)

But who represents them on the board? How do you know that representative won't just be swayed into agreeing with the 'owner'? Would we be happy with a member of the trust on the board representing us?

Looks like he just didn't have the genes for it.

Always thought he was a bit of a self-satisfied prick. Remember once when he let a ball go out of play and then tripped himself up going to collect it. Turned round and tried to start a fight with the nearest opposition player and telling the ref to send him off. :LOL:

and he wishes he was a 'baller.

or the Coventry BS Arena

Yes and no. It's affiliated to the Co-Operative party.

I heard he was injured so maybe he's just been given the all clear on the injury?

Largely agree. He's largely a defensive minded manager (albeit a very good one) and at that level the more attacking/proactive managers will get he better of him more often than not. I think his biggest problem is his ego now. Can't see himself as anything other than brilliant and any failures...

Could have a share issue. But the rules state that anyone currently with shares be given the option to buy shares in the issue first to maintain their overall shareholding, so they'd have to be got around and that's not going to end up in the courts for years is it!

Also how would you prove you were a supporter? How would you stop a stooge buying all those shares and just voting with what they want? Also without the ability to own at least 51% would put a lot of larger investors off. They like being able to do whatever they please.

It wasn't a serious suggestion. Just a sartorial swipe at the manner in which the current owners were allowed to purchase the club.

We've not done it quite so much since Wilson came in, who will put his foot through it more and getting us higher up the pitch. Maybe give him this game to get the nerves of the debut over with and a big incentive to work on it over the summer. Then next season look at a loan.

Criticism is acceptable when it's constructive and based on genuine frustration.

Why couldn't they just use the club as collateral? That's what the current owners did.

Don't forget the blue plaque and eventual listing as a cultural asset due to it's famed ex-occupant. Plus the constant fans knocking on the door and the shrine it'll become would get tiresome.

We know what he's getting as the curtains close at his funeral don't we... Due to Covid restrictions his funeral is only allowed 9 people for the service then 1 from the top and any other five at the commital

Not a problem. Just as the kids if they want to watch an elephant and the lions

Are they not people that direct people around testing sites etc? I also imagine it's a zero hours contract so if they're not needed they don't get called in or earn anything.
