    Mike Ashley Takeover …Ready and Waiting

    That was exactly my point, we're not every club, we're so deep in the shit that we're welcoming an approach from someone everyone else is desperate to avoid. I'm not sure the fact that Newcastle were better before his ownership and have improved since he has left is quite the selling point you...

    Mike Ashley Takeover …Ready and Waiting

    Ashley's ownership of Newcastle was not dissimilar to SISU's ownership of us, they just started at a higher point. 9 out of the 10 seasons prior to Ashley's involvement they finished high enough to be playing in Europe. Under Ashley they were relegated twice and only qualified for Europe once...

    Mike Ashley Takeover …Ready and Waiting

    Says a lot about the situation that we've got people hoping we get taken over by someone every other club is desperate to avoid. The guy is basically a running joke, when there's talk of any club being up for sale their rivals give it the 'hope Ashley buys them' line.

    Or they just cut the budget, sell off anyone they can and watch us slide back down to L2 while pointing the finger at Ashley?

    I think the question now is how much damage is going to be done on their way out. Would anyone bet against another move? We all know that the EFL would allow it, just needs SISU to say there's no other option so its move or no more club.

    no doubt this won't be good news and we'll have a few years of Sepalla & Ashley slugging it out with the club caught in the crossfire

    Wasps going into admin & the impact on CCFC

    No way Richardson should get a penny unless the bondholders are paid back.

    Things that annoy you

    its always annoyed me that smokers are allowed regular breaks, or at least they have been everywhere I've worked, but if you're sat in front of a screen all day and try and take the HSE recommended 10 minute break from the screen every hour that's not acceptable.

    More importantly the brilliant Staged is returning for series 3. Moving to Britbox so I'll be going for the free trial and burning through them in one sitting.

    Best TV shows or movies you can recommend

    Not watching it for about 25 years but Neighbours is coming back on Amazon's free streaming service. Its an ad supported service, what is interesting is that when it was axed it was because it didn't generate anywhere near enough in ad revenue to cover the costs despite viewing figures being...

    Alternatively the club runs at a loss so if you clear the debt today you're not going to be debt free this time next year. I know we've put up with a lot but at some point something will happen to the club that doesn't involve it being the worst case scenario, lets hope this is that moment.

    Will be interesting to see the council response, this pretty much removes SISU (is the minority stake retained on the basis the new owner will buy them out on promotion as a means of them getting a return?), removes any we're building a new stadium rubbish and promises regeneration in the area...

    Doesn't the 'we' mean Coventry City rather than SISU?

    I log off for a couple of hours and it all goes off. Never heard of the bloke which is a surprise if there's a local businessman with enough cash to buy a football club. Lots of questions of course, not least the timing. How does it effect the situation in court when there is now two groups...

    Wasps going into admin & the impact on CCFC

    Didn't it turn out at one point we were paying the rates for 365 days a year despite having use for only a few days then only got a rebate for some of the overpayment?

    Wasps going into admin & the impact on CCFC

    One of Wasps directors attended a property development expo and describe Wasps as a property development company that just happened to have a rugby club attached.
