Hence the title. Half (or at least some of) the problem is the Labour Council. New Council, clean slate, fresh ideas - investment etc. Labour Councils in Coventry have watched over: Cathedral Lanes The loss of the Car Industry Stagnation of the canal basin development No train...

The Council helped finance the Building of the Ricoh. It brought jobs and downstream growth during the construction and now still provides jobs and (importantly) local tax revenue. The Wasps are now there, and like it or not they bring fans and revenue into the City. The whole Ricoh deal has...

Good call. We need a strong GK, all great teams build around one. Would he come? He's 31 and spent a long time as a squad player and not always a no1. I think that if he was guaranteed first choice and the £ worked then he would. We need to show ambition.

I agree with business / corporate and I believe that SOME young / casual fans would go to watch top quality Rugby if CCFC were no more. The question is would those revenue streams exceed the rent and add ons from CCFC. 500 fans (5% for the sake of argument - not a mad thought) switching and...

I think you're right- couldn't remember. I have a vague recollection of BG protesting / threatening to resign or actually resigning over PN's prospective sale to Leeds for about 3 or 5 million. I also have a dim thought that he then got sold for about 1m plus instalments about a year later - in...

Wasps will always see CCFC as a competitor for the disposable income of Coventry sports fans, just like the NFL in USA see "Soccer" as a competitor. There is a rent income balance but let's say getting an extra 3000 fans (if CCFC went altogether) which may generate £500 per year each (£1.5 m) v...

The Uni thing could work, yes I agree - good idea Lefty Council have any spite towards "Big arrogant London Tory type Business SISU"? Of course not. Is GR a Labour Politico with a grudge and possibly some influence? Of course not. Was there a whiff of spite in the Wasps deal? Of...

Robinson made a mistake with his deal with the time expiry. Schoolboy error - the long deal in a family trust would have at least had a shred of hope. SISU need to park their debt and the club needs to have them (SISU) distanced from them to get a land deal in the City Anybody got a...

Two things 1) the careful use if the phrase "Hoffman Style (ie someone who cares a bit - which I'm sure most people believe he does / did and most people have the good sense to know made a mistake out of trying to do good rather than malice) Repeat Hoffman style - ie cares - not Hoffman...

Good call, would probably do it for nothing and that fits I with SISU budget. Did BG find Ndlovu?, cannot remember.

Only viable Exit Stratagy for SISU: Sell / pass on the club to a Hoffman style consortium (ie someone who Actually cares a little) for a £0 fee and a promissory contract (with no expiry date) that pays of the SISU debt off when CCFC reach Prem. (Let's say £5m when Champ is reached, and 50pc...
