Well, let's just say whatever happens it's going to be a messy divorce where someone ends up with custody of the kids and everyone involved including some outside parties end up bitter, twisted and financially worse off. Just hope it's not one of those sad cases like in France this week where...

Well the argument would be they haven't taken anything away from them, the share was registered to Ltd and it would still be registered to Ltd, Holdings would disagree of course which is why it's most likely to come down to a court to ratify that the FL have operated within their own rules and...

Yep, you can bet they have a lot of lawyers looking at it at the moment and will basically keep their mouths shut hoping a solution presents itself. Makes a takeover more difficult (not impossible) as not only will the Administrator's lawyers have to be happy and the consortium's lawyers have to...

History is not an asset that can be bought or sold. It doesn't sit on the balance books of one company or another. It is carried in the hearts, minds and memories of every CCFC supporter. Accrington Stanley went out of existence, the Accrington Stanley that plays in the league now is a...

Never said anything was illegal, didn't even make a comment on whether it's moral or not. The point is that it would not look good and the government has already threatened to step in because of these sort of things and that will be one of the things that the FL will bare in mind just the same...

If this happens then the very best outcome you will get is that Coventry has a very nice exhibition and conference centre and Coventry City FC end up as a club in the lower divisions playing in a 12,000 seater with a following of around 6,000 plus paying rent to a SISU company for the stadium...

Possible. Would put the FL in an interesting position of effectively being complicit in deliberately distressing a company which owns a football stadium run by a local authority and children's charity and ditching debt by one of it's member clubs. Not to say they wouldn't do it but would in a...

You will never get a definitive answer to the question who is the real Coventry City in terms of Holdings or Ltd like that as it is somewhat impossible. It poses a basic question that is at the very heart of football in this country. What is a football club? An interesting question in deed...

My god an easy one to answer, that's a novelty:D YES.

You can see why it is so confusing. In terms of thinking of the 'football club' yes they are one and the same because the assets of 'the football club' have been split across the two, lease, gate receipts etc in one, player contracts, stock etc in another. Therefore to operate 'the football...

He's never going to make statements that are black and white when operating in a situation that so grey and unclear. That would just be creating a noose to hang yourself with. Consequentially, yes people can make it fit what they want. Personally I think it at least offers you a chink of light...

Although can always be appealed will also need to fit into the unitary plan which lays out areas assigned for residential, commercial and industrial development.

The most worrying part of all this is that in many ways given the dispute around who ultimately has the right to play in the league, Holdings or Ltd (doesn't matter whilst they are owned by the same people) is that in many ways the best thing from the FL's point of view would be if the...

Discussed financing of grounds with our CEO a couple of years ago. He said that financial organisations are not Keen on lending to football clubs for building grounds due to the history of clubs going bust, then appearing like the bad guys when they have to pull the plug. He said there are...

Mmmm! Easy jet destination definition anyone, London Luton, hear their might be a ground going in Scotland.;)

As part of the contract I was working on at the time a few years ago I did business with the guy who does the fixtures and had a chat to him about it. As said above things like local derbies are considered but not only this but teams are twinned whereby if one team is at home the other will be...

Agree, but try and understand the feelings that are behind it when people are frustrated and under pressure they lash out in all directions often aiming it at friends, family, the ones they love with misdirected anger because they feel powerless against the ones that are doing this to them. It's...

If that is true then your club is dead or will be consigned to a living death. Don't condemned or ridicule them though, with the way of the world and particularly football in these time many people just feel that they have no power, that they can't change things, they are wrong, but apathy is...

SISU think they call the shots because that's how they operate and want/need people to believe they do so that they will give in to them. In reality they aren't in as strong a position as they think they are but will fight to the bitter end, they have a 'no surrender' attitude and basically...

My first thoughts we're.... well they have to at least say this and pretend they are doing it to get the FL to approve the ground share in the first place. The FL will only approve the ground share if they can demonstrate a plan to return to Coventry. This then allows them to continue with their...
