Good idea, but I agree about the name and colour. 'United' & red are already followed by too many in Coventry. Reviving the name Sporting would be good. That would not only be readily identifiable with Coventry, and provide an alternative club for people to follow, it would also tap into the...

I am here, and just so you know, I don't come on here as often as I would like because it would kick off a huge row in our house. Probably will today, but I just wanted to say that I've been listening to the interviews and I could not believe Tim Fisher coming out with the rubbish about taking...

I admit my "journalist friend" is my boy friend, and he hates me coming on here. "Making things ten times worse," he keeps saying, but he knows what the club means to me and we both know that things that people say on here are often way off beam. Understandably, because it is hellishly...

Very good question. Maybe there are good reasons why they haven't..

Just make sure you meet someone worth meeting, rather than the guy that was delegated to talk to Bob Ainsworth.

Sorry, to complete post: Posted by inside track: Any faith I had in the Trust contributing to a solution to this sorry shambles was lost by this thread. The opening sentences of their initial post shows a complete failure to grasp the basics. Paul Appleton, the administrator was...

There is so much wrong with this, it is unbelievable. Just one point though. What on earth do you think Sisu have been doing if they "have not invested" in the club? I would never argue that they have spent all their money wisely or sensibly or that they are the owner we would like to have...

Quite right. Some common sense at last.

Distress its landlord with the collusion of Coventry City Council - 50% owner of the landlord company! That is precisely what the judicial review is all about. The Council have floundered and blundered through all this. Not saying Sisu are blameless - of course they're not - but the Council...

Based on fact. But my boyfriend is getting very cross with me now for being on here again. Thing is, I have supported the City longer than he's been following them. My Dad was a big fan. And it matters to me, but what upsets me is people not getting the reality of what's going on. None of us may...

I totally understand and agree with a lot of what you say. And none of this may be "right" but it is as it is. You don't like it, I don't like it, but Sisu are running this show and the only people who can d anything about it, if it is going to change, is the Council.

They will have assets when they own land and build a stadium. And as far as the admin is concerned, remember it was ACL - specifically the man running the Higgs Charity - who forced that. Sisu would not have put CCFC Ltd into admin if that hadn't happened. And why should Sisu care about the...

That is simply not borne out by the facts. Sisu, or rather Sisu's investors, keep putting up the money to keep it going and will continue to. Don't ask my why or what their long-term strategy is, but it is clearly to sell it on at some point. It's what they do. Admittedly, they would usually...

Why don't people get that Sisu are serious about this? The only way this can change is if the Council - & let's not be silly, it is the Council we're talking about, not ACL - are prepared to a deal and stick to it, and a deal that suits Sisu. People may hate the idea of that, but - like it or...

My boyfriend is a journalist. Like many other reporters working hard to unravel all this, but keeps hitting brick walls, legal and otherwise. What IS crystal clear is that while Sisu have messed up big time, ACL's actions have been extremely damaging to the football club, regardless of who owns it.

You may be right, but amid all this uncertainty we can rely on: (a) no definitive statement from anyone about the Golden Share in the near future; if someone could, or was prepared to do that, they would have done so by now (b) neither Preston Haskell nor anyone else would buy 'Ltd' while...

Why not just support Coventry Sphinx?

If either of those theories hold water, those involved could face a massive legal headache & the consequence lawyers fees.

The argument is that the beneficial ownership & legal ownership are in the same enitity - 'Holdings".

When the 10 points were deducted the League said something to the effect that the club's affairs were not clear, so they had no alternative but to apply the deduction, rightly or wrongly. Sisu dropped their appeal because in the time allowed it was never going to be able to clarify the...
