The Ricoh is a terrible football stadium. There is no reason why you cannot build a new ground and retain the features that give football grounds their character. Brighton is a far better example of how to build a new ground - asymmetrical and fans much closer to the pitch - it is a new ground...

Aye, just got an out of office reply from 'Amanda'. Won't hold my breath for a reply. They must have had loads of emails on this issue, not that it seems to have done much good. No harm in trying though.

People are suggesting that a new club be started regardless of what SISU's plans are on that front. Put is this way, if PH4 et al announced tomorrow that they were starting a new club and applying to play in the BS next season and that a deal had been done for the new club to play at the Ricoh...

My cover is blown.

None of that makes any sense. We'd only get a little over double what Nuneaton get? Some people have no idea how big this football club is, let alone how big it could be. To suggest we'd struggle to get the finances to get out of the conference is madness - Coventry City would be the biggest...

I dispute that a ground with a capacity of 3000 would be big enough to accommodate this city's football club, regardless of what league we are in. The Butts is out of the question unless they could build temporary stands to at least double the capacity.

Just sent this email: Hi When are you going to get your heads out of your backsides and make your position on the plight of my football club clear? Are you really that scared of a Mayfair based hedge fund that you will sit idly by and let a 130 year old football club wither and die? We...

edit: just seen the other thread.

Any new Phoenix club that had the full backing of the supporters and which was seen as the continuation of CCFC would be allowed to join at a higher level than Sphinx anyway I suspect.

I've always been somewhat scathing about the idea of starting a phoenix club while the original club still exists, it just wouldn't work. That said, the more this drags on the more I think that perhaps putting that idea out there and talking about it wouldn't be a bad thing - it might focus...

Cool thanks, had not seen that, been out of the loop for a couple of weeks....

But they will never allow the sale of ltd to a third party via the administrator - they will want full control of the club and that involves buying back Ltd which I suspect is what will happen. That then gives them time and options. Time to further distress ACL if they wish - but surely we all...

What assets did they move? (genuine question). There is no suggestion (reading Appleton's statement) that the GS was moved - his description of the dispute centres on the confusion over names suggesting that SISU are asserting that the GS was with Holdings all along. Nowhere is it suggested...

Indeed, if only they had. The situation has deteriorated very quickly though, and although I could be wrong, I am sure SISU will be looking for the least painful way out now and that is surely regaining full control and selling the club on their own terms. Unless of course, they still have...

Maybe, but I strongly suspect they will not be prepared to part with millions either. I strongly suspect that SISU will end up buying Ltd back, and by regaining full control of the club it then gives them more options. They can either try to manage to club back to success (highly unlikely), or...

Because they believe they do know. This is challenged by SISU and that is why we are where we are. The FL do need to make their position clear though. If they believe it is/was with Ltd then they need to make that clear - in order that SISU can then make their legal challenge. That is going...

But it wasn't linked to a company registration number - that is the problem. Do you think if it was we'd be going through all this? Have you not been listening for the last 2 months?

You might be right not to be happy, but what is this tonne of debt? You mean the debt to ACL? The rest they owe to themselves so it is irrelevant. The issue of the GS will only be resolved in court. That was always going to be the case so they should just get on with it.

Oh dear. What heinous crime did you commit to receive that punishment? I've never met anyone from the youth wing of a political party that isn't an insufferable bigot.

Can't stop watching this. Sorry if a re-post: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dZBiHzCxOek
