Even if they were the worlds best negotiators they'd be starting from a position far worse than if they took over any other club in the country so again why would anyone other than a fan buy us?

I would guess the same as if you forget your season ticket. Go and get a duplicate ticket.

Seeing as Wasps use Ticketmaster as well shouldn't be a problem with them being located at the Ricoh.

Would be much easier if they just had someone stood there on the way in, charge a tenner and give you a voucher that can be redeemed in any shop if you spend over £20. Wouldn't be Tesco, will be outsourced.

You only had to watch for a few minutes and see how many middle aged kids and pensioners went through!

Bit like when the council got found out trying to block professional football at the Butts.

Except it wasn't really £1.3m was it. They drew down £530K from the escrow account and had Robinson and McGinnity (?) as guarantors in the event of unpaid rent. Forcing administration broke the lease so they weren't owned more after that.

ACL certainly registered an interest, can't recall now if they actually placed a bid or not.

What are you basing this on? Why do we have little chance of promotion?

Wasn't exactly a large debt though was it. We were still paying matchday costs so ACL weren't losing out by having us playing there (and of course they were still getting the other revenue streams on matchday) and ACL were drawing down out of escrow as well as claiming off the guarantors. Lets...

They could have supported the club in improving and extending HR negating the need to move. They could have given the club a loan to exercise the buy back clause on HR. They could have purchased HR and leased it back to the club at a peppercorn rent. They could have stuck to the original...

They've tweeted this a few times now. Noticed that the club have been replying to complaints despite it being totally out of their control but the Ricoh have not responded to any tweets to them. As usual there's a decent chunk of our support blaming SISU!

So you don't want them to sell the club you want them to put is into administration and get another points deduction. At best meaning we have little chance of promotion, at worst condemning us to relegation. To all intents and purposes we've already been through administration twice. The...

Is this your new 'race to the bottom'?

They use Just Sports / Nike as well.

So given there are so many other clubs in the country who would purchase an in-debt Coventry City with no ground, nowhere to play home games after next season and no academy after this season for a £1?

Obviously the club has no value but in terms of what it would take to get shot of SISU, and more importantly for them to write off all the debt, I reckon £10m would be close. Of course the problem is that any new owner then has to pay for a new academy and stadium or face the lack of revenue...

Would have been even better if the amount of money taken came close to matching the number of people going through those turnstiles!

Not really, that was all whispers and people claiming to know more than others. The same as I'd like SISU to come out with a clear plan that stacks up if there's any potential new owner get them to put their plan out there.
