    Confirmed northampton

    Well, despite all the nonsense of the last 6 or 7 months, I've always assumed some common sense would eventually prevail (be it from SISU, the Football League, or the Adminstrator) and we'd end up back at the Ricoh. Guess I was wrong. Enough's enough, and my Saturdays are now free until...

    ACL to allow CCFC Ltd to play for free!

    Some things to keep in mind: 1) it clearly states that the arrangement applies whilst CCFC Ltd is in administration. Once we're out, i imagine a new deal needs to be agreed. 2) there is no mention of SISU or CCFC holdings, only the administrator, CCFC Ltd and the football league Good work...

    Stuart Linnell here, if anyone wants to talk

    Well Mr Linell, if it is you, in most people's opinion you've nailed your colours to SISUs post quite clearly. Whether this is due to a genuine belief that you think they know what's best for the club (which I find odd given 5 years+ of their repeated mismanagement), or whether it has more...

    Jimmy Hill statue - Fisher put in his place

    And similarly I would have thought the families of those whose ashes are in the memorial garden, and those with bricks in the wall (myself included), should be the ones consulted over any plans to move them.

    Coventry United FC

    Name and colours should reflect some element of our history.... Coventry Phoenix, Coventry Singers, Coventry Bantams, Sky Blue, Green & red quarters... all good suggestions.... Chocolate brown anyone? ;-)

    To you, what is the club?

    If it comes to it, I'd actually suggest we ALL go to Walsalll.... and refuse to enter the ground. Instead we use it as a platform for protest.... 5000+ fans refusing to enter the ground would provide an excellent media platform, and a clear message to SISU and their investors of what our club...

    Action for Premier Club members

    I'm in the Premier Club and everyone I know in that area stopped their Direct Debits or bank mandates after the last home game of the season.

    Latest: Fisher says 'no chance' of CCFC playing at Ricoh

    SISU really know how to pick their people don't they.... Leonard Brody and his "text a sub" idea..... Onye Igwe and his "diet for Sky Blue Sam" initiative.... Ken Deluded and his "I'll be Thorny's right hand man" plan.... And now we have Tim Fisher and his "arena of dreams" (no doubt...

    Les Reid tweet - inconclusive interim report

    I guess where this could go is that his view on the shares is inconclusive, but that he presents the evidence for both sides of the argument and the court decides. Once that's cleared up, the clubs management is either with SISU or the administrator. The FL element is obscured by the fact...

    Tim Fisher rang me last night

    How was the £60m debt mentioned by the administrator made up? A £1.2m per year bill for the rent over 5 years (although they haven't paid 1 year of it!) is £6m. What was the other £54m made up of? Not really seen it on the pitch. Given the above, how does getting relatively low F&B revenues...

    Les Reid tweet - inconclusive interim report

    You would have thought so wouldn't you? I'm also massively concerned at the lack of interest Appleton seems to have in the day to day running of the club. Fisher continues to act like he's running things, and I would have thought getting clarity on what constitutes the club, where the FL...

    Les Reid tweet - inconclusive interim report

    @Lesreidpolitics: BREAKING: unconfirmed, my understanding is #CCFC admin report is an inconclusive interim report. More when I get it

    Suitable Venues For Fisher's Forums

    From Fisher's point of view, somewhere with plenty of security, a back door for a quick exit and security glass between he and the mob....sorry, fans. If anyone brings SISU OUT banners, will they require fire certificates? And I do hope that there isn't any non-stop chanting of "we want...

    City fans won't follow the Sky Blues out of the Ricoh

    I guess it's an indication of the strength of feeling, though in reality an exaggeration of the real numbers. However, Coventry support within the City has always been pretty apathetic outside of the hardcore fans, of which I'm guessing there's about 7000. Lose a fair proportion of them, and...

    Next season is going to be a Mess

    You forgot possible points deductions for either leaving admin without a CVA, having potentially fielded ineligible players (3rd party ownership), or any other number of shenanigans likely to come to light in the next few weeks. I've got a feeling the football league might well throw the book...

    Football clubs and state aid

    Interesting article I read a week or so back regarding local authority involvement with football clubs. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/22037966 Sobering reading for SISU and anyone else who thinks the council should either give the stadium over to CCFC for free, or give them overly...

    Latest SISU Press Release....

    Latest SISU Press Release....

    I'd have thought Martin Reeves /ACL can give a fairly straightforward reply, something akin to: The time for a negotiated settlement has passed, hence ACLs application to place the club in administration. Following the withdrawal of this application, ACL stated that they were awaiting the...

    Andy Thorn

    Long time reader; first time poster here. Got to say I feel sorry for Thorn. He's been on a hiding to nothing since the beginning of season; no money, no backing, boardroom upheaval, etc. But his comments after yesterday's disaster are those of a man who is either deluded or has lost his way...
