    I'd say a good starting point would be ensuring we still have a football club. Phone call to Wasps telling them to stick to what was promised when they were sold the Ricoh would be a good start. It's not beyond the realms of possibility we could go up again this season. I would say Championship...

    Think the council would be serving the tax payer better by creating conditions that assist the club in getting back in to the Premier League: The total economic value to Wales of Swansea's first season in the Premier League is estimated at £58.6m £50.6m of the economic benefit was generated by...

    Most likely outcome for the club next season.

    Just read it, unbelievable. Should change their slogan to Fighting the Wasps Way. Fortunately it seems that he's just talking to himself, pretty much the only replies to his tweets are from his own personal account!

    Free flags! Being serious I find the response from Wasps supporters very disappointing. For a club that we are told was very close to going out of existence themselves they seem very happy to let their club send us into oblivion.

    I would doubt it. They are tied to the EFL Trust which is for EFL teams. They would lose that as well as the connection to the football club. Their mission statement is 'Use the reach and appeal of Coventry City Football Club to make a difference to the lives of people across Coventry and...

    Ken Taylor was leader of the council at the time and mocked Shapiro for 'only' offering £26million, wanting a longer lease on the Ricoh Arena and to develop some spare land to the north of the site.

    If the club doesn't exist the grant for the academy will stop and the academy will close. Not sure how big an impact that would be on Higgs. Also would most likely mean the end of Sky Blues in the Community and all the work they do.

    He'll feel right at home when he gets back here then.

    Most likely outcome for the club next season.

    Doesn't matter who is in control and / or what their reasons are for their course of action. The simple fact is we have a very real danger of no longer having a club, the same way we had a very real danger of ending up in Northampton. Little was done about that as everyone assumed it wouldn't...

    Most likely outcome for the club next season.

    Going after SISU is a complete waste of time and effort, totally agree. Its been done and has had zero impact. However Wasps have shown themselves to be very sensitive to negative press. What we really need is the Trust to get on the case. They are the biggest fans group and have the media...

    KMPG were called in and ran an administration process. The only thing that was missing was not being formally put in to administration as a large amount of the money was owed to those running the club and it was felt the club was more saleable without a points deduction. There was 7 groups...

    To sum up most people seem happy for the club to no longer exist because SISU.

    Appeal Dismissed

    Not to mention we don't actually know what Fisher said, its second hand information. There's a big difference between Fisher saying no to someone asking him about potential investment as its not his decision and saying no SISU won't speak to any investors. But as you say the chances of this...

    Most likely outcome for the club next season.

    My concern is too many people believe this and therefore aren't bothered about doing anything. This is how we ended up in Northampton. Everyone said it wouldn't happen and a last minute deal would be done, look how that worked out.

    What do people want the FA / EFL to do?

    What happened to the mediation that the court ordered take place? Don't recall anything ever being said after that. Might be a good thing for the trust to pick up. Suggest mediation and offer that chap from Cov Cathedral (if he's still around) that was involved in the club coming back from...

    What do people want the FA / EFL to do?

    Fit and proper is a self certification test anyway but even if it was more robustly enforced it would need the clubs owners to do something illegal before the share could be withdrawn and as far as I'm aware as bad as things have been they haven't actually broken any laws. Can you imagine the...

    I'm the same. Never went to Sixfields and didn't agree with anyone going but if we were to move next season I'd be there if at all possible.

    Even if you take the emotion out of it and ignore it being a football club the fact that the local council will quite happily let a business that generates millions each year for the city just fold while they standby doing nothing in quite incredible.

    Don't think so. Wasps would just come out and say we have an offer on the table for CCFC to take or leave. What they're actually saying is they won't even talk to us.
