We are a cash cow?????? On what are you basing that on? At most home games we have only about 3/4/5000 paying spectators.that probably equates to about 60,000/70,000,which virtually all of which was being swallowed up by the old rental demands .How many staff, playing and non playing staff do...

Well a friend who is a Coventry fan living in Bristol,has repeatedly told me that,Bristol f....ing Rovers have been to Wembley or the Millenium Stadium four times since we won the FA Cup in 1987.For sustained mediocrity no other club comes close to matching our 'success' of non achievment.Hence...

Absolutely fantastic result against the odds.Great hatrick by Shea Guthrie,proving that he can be a big time player.Always great to beat the squeelers.:claping hands:

I'm hearing that Schutte has also signed again,can't say that he would have been on my 'keep' list.Had a great start,but to me and others after his injury he has not replicated that form.While he is the top point scoring D man in the league,a lot of those points are 2nd assists,which are...

Thought Adam Barton was outstanding today,showed for the ball,rarely gave it away and tracked and closed down well.Best home performance all season for me.Callum Ball may not be the most gifted player,but led the line well,and certainly worked his socks off.Question is did anybody feel we missed...

Egener and Henrich confirmed for next year,a decent start.:claping hands:

Well yours seems the most optimistic forecast,so take out the season ticket holders who have already paid,it will be about 3-4000 paying spectators.Kids for a quid,plus deduct the 20% VAT on ticket sales,the club will be lucky to take £60000.With an average of 2 home games a month it would mean...

Just been confirmed what most people already knew,Domish has failed a drug's test,and has had his contract terminated.Whatever the drugs were,they clearly weren't performance enhancing.;)With Chalmers out with a broken leg it leaves the D ,looking pretty threadbare for the play-offs.Expect the...

Andy Caroll was sat in box at back of block 3,he is a friend of Campbell apparently.Rumour is that Domish won't be back again,would expect a club statement on this.Have heard Matty will have a player coach with him next year,that Egener will return,Guthrie sounds doubtful.A new net minder to me...

Maybe SISU should have put Mcsheffrey into administartion,with no visible assets and plenty of liabilities,surely a winding up order would be a formality.:(

The 55 million figure came from ACL's preferred administrator,hardly a SISU puppet,yet seemingly some fans still don't want to believe the fact that SISU via its investors have effectively been bankrolling the club for years.

Yep he seemed to basically imply that the Council bullied the club into 'selling' to SISU,and wouldn't countenance any other owner.He also seem to suggest that both the Council and the Higgs Trust,basically usedt he club's parlous financial state to exact onerous terms on the club.Like most...

Lets hope if we make the play-offs,we get to play Walsall then,it will be like having 2 home matches.:(

Villa Park??:(

Why would Saracens or Wasps move a hundres miles north,I'm sure there fans would love that,and what would happen to Coventry Rugby Club?They presumbably would just fold,wiping out all of their history,I'm sure their fans would love that idea as well.A club that produced Ducham,Preece and...

:facepalm:So Coventry Rugby Club playing in the 3rd tier of English Rugby could afford to pay an annual rent of £400,000 then.I very much doubt if they take £400,000 in gate money in a whole season.

The Olympics is over and is extremely unlikely to be returning anytime soon,so not really relevant for future revenue streams.The Rugby World Cup at the Ricoh is I believe not yet confirmed,and they may yet go to Villa Park.Presumbably the Davis Cup will be played indoors,again not really...

Remind me again who are the rapacious,ruthless capitalists who prey on struggling finacially hamstrung businesses.;)

Yep a loss making club,with virtually no assets,playing in the 3rd tier of English football,not owning their ground,with the prospect of starting next year with a points deduction,it is amazing that the queue to buy the club is not stretching down the Foleshill Road.:(

Because there are an awful lot of 'IFS',in there.its the cold reality that matters.If any of us acquired £10 billion we could buy the club,acquire the stadium,pay off any debts etc...If
