You say the sweetest things :D

Everything has its price. I think SISU porbably do have a walk away figure. Whether anyone can meet that (or rather if they're willing to) remains to be seen. It is the only hope left. Perhaps Byng knew what was about to happen and he is genuine when he says they will renew their interest...

Fair enough. Love the signature btw, we could do with some of that Churchillian spirit right now.

It was a bluff. ACL called it. A shit storm followed and here we are. The club will survive though. Years from now we'll look back at this sorry debacle and wonder how on earth it came to this. People saying 'that's it' are just fishing for compliments and sympathy. Emotions are running...

Just because he will continue to support the team doesn't mean he'll be going to watch them in Walsall. Are you saying that not only should we not go to watch them outside Coventry, but we should actually stop supporting them altogether? Boycott away games too?

Yeah, in a CT Q&A on 24/5 TF said: "We have put forward proposals to the administrator which would see all creditors at the date of the administration paid in full, including ACL." Guess that's the only way to avoid the scenario outlined by duffer.

Do I, where? Please point me in the direction of where I display even the slightest hint of delight, you prize a c**t. My point, if you would take your head out of your sanctimonious backside for once and read what I said, was simply that commercial pressures on both sides will mean we will...

Was told something is total confidence yesterday, which I can't repeat. Put it this way though, if the club do leave the Ricoh, the shit is going to hit the fan (for ACL). Just hope some common sense prevails.

Didn't Fisher say that their offer included paying off all 3rd party creditors in full?

Did he have much choice though? Emotion aside, wasn't this his only real option without exposing himself to a legal challenge from SISU?

What's with the hysterical reactions? The club isn't finished, and I still don't think we will leave Coventry. SISU are under no illusions that the fans would not follow it, and ACL I believe will do what they can to keep the club here (certainly if the rumours circulating about Compass are...

League pressure because of fixtures forced the quick announcement I guess. We knew this would happen. We now can only hope that one of the interested parties makes a direct approach. It's our only hope really.

It beggars belief that people would welcome this. Then again, we all seem happy to put our faith in an American tycoon with business interests in mafia controlled Russia and African banana republics, so I guess we'll go with anyone as long as it isn't SISU eh? Just waiting for Mugabe to be...

No, I'm Spartacus

I agree, I was just pointing out this key advantage of Walsall over Nene Park. Like you, I hope and pray it's neither.

No, nothing like that. I've heard WMP have insisted that direct trains be laid on and that they are priced at the same rate as normal trains - which is about 3 quid for a day return within the west mids I think? There's a bit of guesswork on the price and travel times - but I'm told direct...

Difference with Walsall though is that there will be special direct trains - there in 25 minutes and only 3 quid return. They would have to bus people to Nene Park, unless there is a train station there I am not aware of - been a while since I've been.

...another point about SISU capital is that they have a healthy net worth and a 5 star credit rating:

I'm surprised how little some people understand about the business world. It is a management company - of course it only just breaks even, that is surely the idea. My company just about breaks even every year (on purpose).

Been meaning to go in for a while so will definitely call in when I'm in town next. Amazing restoration job from the images I have seen. Businesses like this deserve to succeed and we should all support them.
