I take your point, however they should actually have stated that it was the first Englishman to win since 1970, that would have avoided the British/English confusion that arose. I didn't surprise me that out of the group of top 10 English players (Westwood, Donald, Poulter), Rose is the 1st one...

'The Coventry Elephants' is probably a good description of our back 4 over the last 10 years!

I don't doubt some of the parties have that sort of money, the question is are they willing to spend it with such massive risk involved.

http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/sport/football/4961833/Dan-King-Sport-Uncovered-Swansea-baffled-by-European-Commisson-claims.html This may be deemed as state aid by the EU thus contravening fair trade regulations. I can't imagine the other League 1 clubs being particularly happy about...

The administrator's statement reads: "Following Friday's deadline, I have received a number of indicative offers for the assets of Coventry City FC Limited. "I am now inviting all interested parties to provide their best and final offers by noon on Thursday June 13. "Having discussed the...

Have you seen his birth certificate? It feels like he's been around since the late 80s. Didn't he play in the infamous game when Chelsea wore our away shirts? Whatever his age he's another past it signing we could do without.

No it's not. It's legitimate practice to buy a business out of administration, it isn't to push a company into admin in the 1st place. Any assets the club has are far outweighed by it's liabilities, hence the reluctance to pay over the odds. Potential is a different matter, but that will only...

The difference is, the lines of communication and negotiation are now closed to SISU, which is not the case for new owners. SISU have well and truly 'burnt bridges' and 'scorched earth'!

5 key differences between the Brentford plan's and SISU's (I refuse to call them CCFC's): 1. The stadium will be within the boundaries of Brentford 2. It will be in an area where regeneration plans are likely to be accepted 3. They have sensible funding plans 4. They own their own stadium and...

That would be an achievement given gold doesn't rust !

I was under the impression that the recent report produced by the administrator was for the purposes of the next High Court hearing. Does anyone know when/if this is happening and if so what are the potential outcomes ? (with the exception of adjournment)

There is probably nothing sinister in this and the administrator is working to a set timetable. Logically it could be something like: 31st May - final bids received 1st June to 5th June - discussions with league on preferred bidder and golden share 6th June - ratification of preferred bidder...

I think there are antics on both sides of the fence. The route both SISU and ACL are pursuing is what's known as MAD - "Mutually Assured Destruction". There are some interesting points made on the attached forum from a site completely unrelated to football about the viability of ACL without...

I think that's the point of the modular design, though I think we're preempting things, given there are other barriers to overcome before then.

Ok, so that's the first part sorted. How about: 1. Demonstrating that the club is a going concern for the purposes of getting the accounts signed off 2. Surviving on crowds of 2 to 3k whilst the new ground is being built and complying with FFP at the same time 3. Getting planning...

Good luck with that one I'd say! I thought it was a ridiculous scheme in the first place and anyone who bought into it were mugs. Apologies if that offends anyone who may be a PSL holder, because I'm sure their intentions were to help out the club, but I don't think it was the wisest thing to...

Unfortunately it's the same morality that caused the Banking crash and legality didn't come into that either!

You specify 23/03/12. Surely that should be 2013 for it to coincide with administration ?

Surely those things are mutually exclusive? If SISU remain then the club will play outside of Cov and thus crowds and income streams will dwindle. A new owner (it doesn't have to be Haskell) can negotiate a return to the Ricoh on favourable terms and generate some optimism which should...
