    I think there's a danger of misinterpretation here. Our bigger gates tend to come against the bigger, more successful teams. Are we saying that we lost in the cup against Chelsea because the crowd was 31,000 or because they were better than us???? I'll be there for all the remaining games...

    Match on Saturday

    I was hoping that Cranie would be fit. That's an awfully inexperienced back four. So it sounds like we're missing: Turner Wood McPake Cranie Carsley Baker And of course Deegan & Ozzy.

    Are SISU Lying already?

    Hackers - I understand that the option was put in place by the Higgs charity at the time they part funded the Arena. The idea was to give the club some breathing space to get the funds together to take up at least the 50% stake (oh the irony....). Unlike you not to know the full detail of...

    Are SISU Lying already?

    Another "exclusive" for the CT?

    Are SISU Lying already?

    I'd be surprised if they were to come out with so blatant a lie - too easy to be caught out. Is it possible that they have a meeting fixed up with someone (say perhaps a councillor rather than an official) but that whoever put out the council's statement is unaware of it?

    Match on Saturday

    Amid all this facinating chat about Boards, administration, new loans, new CEOs etc, I understand that there's actually a game on Saturday. Anybody know where we are injury wise?

    BBC Coventry and Warwickshire

    The interesting part of the press conference was to listen to the detail of what was being said - to cross reference what the different directors said, to try to get the tone of what they were saying. CWR/Brolly genuinely seem to have thought that the conference was going to last 15 minutes...

    Coventry - The Brand

    Bit disappointed that we're only a brand. Went on a group conference a few years back where the key message was that brand was old hat and that the business had to aspire to be a "lovemark". Personally I thought it all made absolute sense and was well worth the cost of flying 100 people half...

    But who could ever have predicted that a press conference would "just be talking"? You couldn't make it up...........

    SISU's Investment or lack of...

    People often think of investment as the purchase of shares, but many "investments" are a combination of shares and loans. As noted above there are good tax reasons for using loans. I think we all knew from the start that SISU were not planning to own CCFC forever, but were hoping to make a...

    Available for a pound? But there's a catch...

    Great plan - except I'd expect them to ask for guarantees on the money due to them.

    SISU's Investment or lack of...

    I think they'd snap anyone's hand off for a reasonable percentage of what they've put in!

    Did we talk about the board or investment in the 70s/80s?

    My (somewhat ageing) memory says that I was much more upset by Dennis going. Also by the time Psycho went, freedon of contract was in and it was much more difficult to hang on to players who wanted to go.

    Available for a pound? But there's a catch...

    Lots of questions in there - to pick out a couple: The whole purpose of incorporating a limited company is that the owner (shareholder) is not liable for its debts (except in certain specific circumstances - trading insolvent etc....). In groups of companies it is perfectly standard for the...

    SISU's Investment or lack of...

    That's the way it works. If they make it as a loan, the interest is offsetable against tax so if we ever make a profit they'll have lots of losses to carry forward to remove the tax bill. If (when?) they sell the club, the tax losses will be one of the few assets the company will have!

    Did we talk about the board or investment in the 70s/80s?

    It's a long time ago and difficult to be sure about what we thought at the time, but my memory is that we'd just bought Barry Powell and the two of them had struck up a very promising midfield partnership. Dennis had also been a bit of a star with England under 23's (before the days of under...

    It's hoffman

    Just read it Rob - let's hope that GH is making good headway with a group of Chinese billionaires!!

    Did we talk about the board or investment in the 70s/80s?

    True, that would have really pissed me off!!

    It's hoffman

    I think this has to be possibly good news - at the very least hopeful news. The reason for the disappointment on the forum seems to be the rather large oversell by the CT. If they'd just done an article confirming that GH was looking for investment, most of us would have been pretty happy...
