The way this is going, the Ricoh is likely to become Coventry's biggest white elephant. It's pretty clear that CCFC is unlikely to play their again and it makes little or no money from its other activities because it is so badly run. What do they think they'll do with the stadium bowl? ACL as...

And why do you think his "bids at other clubs" did not succeed, or the one at Leeds (the others were Charlton and Bolton, by the way)? Could it be because he is not ready to invest hugely himself, but instead offers to secure other investment. How is that different to Sisu, who are running the...

You are quite right, apart from the fact that Sisu did not create the structure of Holdings plus the CCFC Ltd subsidiary. That goes back to 1995, long before Sisu came on the scene. It was something they inherited. But, as you say, and as I have tried to point out on other threads, it appears...

As I suggested on another thread, all the evidence suggests that the League made an error when recording the location of the Golden Share after it was issued when CCFC was relegated from the Premier League. It seems it may have been listed against the name 'Coventry City Football Club', and at...

He is a former director of Sisu, now working for another investment company.

No it doesn't! It says he "leaves City fans in limbo"!

Depends whether you regard £69-million as 'stupendous'. Mr Haskell's previous attempts to buy into English football, at Leeds, Charlton and Bolton suggests that he was unable to satisfy those clubs that he could deliver that sort of money. As for Sisu's view of Elliott, it appears to come...

In fact - to prove my point: http://www.coventrytelegraph.net/news/coventry-news/coventry-city-fc-administrator-leaves-3862802

The clue to how successful this Haskell bid is likely to be is in the word "if" in the Coventry Telegraph headline: he'll buy the Ricoh "IF he can complete City takeover." I will lay money with anyone who cares to take me on that the administrator's report will be inconclusive, particularly...

Poor confused Mr Smith and others will be pleased to know that my boyfriend has just said "enough is enough" on here for tonight. Match Of The Day has nearly finished and we have other things to occupy our time apart from me arguing with men with closed minds and, quite probably, other...

I was referring to CCFC. I know it's complicated but do try to keep up,

It should have been. Of course, Birmingham as the Second City was an attraction and Villa Park has a larger capacity. They've opted for large venues generally with some obvious and understandable exceptions, but despite all that, you're right, the Ricoh was a serious contender. All I can say is...

Hot air and nonsense. Higgs has no right to call the shots over who owns a privately owned company. As for the Ricoh, I wonder why it missed out on the Rugby World Cup to Villa Park.

Gossip, I'll admit, which is why I said "it's said...", but that is as reliable as many of the posts I've seen that claim to be "facts". It would be interesting to test a denial of that against the charity's next published accounts.

ACL has failed to run the Ricoh properly in many ways. The Higgs Charity is said to be short of funds, and that has nothing to do with CCFC. Both need CCFC. I wasn't going to contribute again but I was getting so wound up reading some of the utter nonsense bring written by various people...

So many ways to listen, wherever you are - online (via website), BBC radio iplayer, TuneIn Radio app. You really can listen when you want to, wherever you are..

To be fair, they were covering the local elections yesterday and other regular stuff was dropped. I would imagine that if something genuinely significant and game-changing occurs they will put on special shows, but not for the latest comment or statement or snipe from one side or the other...

Thanks for those who offered common sense support for me here, but I am seriously considering whether to contribute further. I hadn't quite appreciated the degree of closed-mind bigotry that existed. Oh, and by the way, to those referring to me as "he", that is another mistaken assumption...

Think what you will. I am only passing on what I've heard. If it's of no interest, I won't bother.

Correct. Spelling mistake.
