    Coventry City fans to discuss possibility of supporter-led takeover

    Think is Fisher has said he will attend a Trust event. He's also said that while the club isn't on the market any club is for sale if the right offer comes in. Not sure what people are waiting for him to say, that's as open an invite as you'll get.

    Coventry City fans to discuss possibility of supporter-led takeover

    Thats the perfect example. Him saying that was followed by 10 mins of others on the stage having a dig at SISU. Not to say its undeserved but we need to think about what the objective is. The Trust needs to be whiter than white, make sure there's nothing that can come back on them. The Pompey...

    To the "Slade out!!!" Brigade

    The second part is key. Not pretty is fine if its going to keep us up. Not so much if we're still going to lose every week.

    Coventry City fans to discuss possibility of supporter-led takeover

    Think it would be a hard sell. Look at the response when Maddison was sold. That was to cover the cost of keeping the club going as SISU had to put in an emergency loan to cover cash flow.

    Coventry City fans to discuss possibility of supporter-led takeover

    For me now I'd like to see something from the Trust to outline the major scenarios. Buying from SISU, buying from admin and liquidation. What is required for each and what as supporters we could expect to be the outcome. There's no way the fans are buying off SISU without some serious...

    Coventry City fans to discuss possibility of supporter-led takeover

    If you look on SD at the clubs majority fan owned in the FL its AFC Wimbledon, Exeter City and Wycombe Wanderers. No disrespect to any of them as its obviously a tough thing to pull off but I don't think that's the level our fans are thinking off when they talk about fan ownership. I think...

    Coventry City fans to discuss possibility of supporter-led takeover

    If the trust are listening to the people they had along to the meeting as experts then they need to greatly distance themselves from protests and boycott (anyone else notice Moz get JHW and SBT mixed up at the end, doesn't give a big impression of separation). Need to work on repairing the...

    I'm not sure how you can be there and not pick up on a push to boycott.

    Coventry City fans to discuss possibility of supporter-led takeover

    Tony are you watching the stream? I don't see how you can be watching and not think a boycott is being pushed. We've had the Palace bloke in the CT saying the fans need to turn up and the Pompey chap and Supporters Direct tonight. The same advise is coming from everyone and the various...

    Coventry City fans to discuss possibility of supporter-led takeover

    If you're prepared to chuck a grand in for a share I'm sure you'd buy a season ticket but doesn't that make the assumption that 7000 people would buy a share?

    Coventry City fans to discuss possibility of supporter-led takeover

    That would be like when SISU came in. You'd have Jan and Moz on CWR asking people to hand their shares over so a new owner can take us back to the PL.

    Coventry City fans to discuss possibility of supporter-led takeover

    So to sum up so far: We need a willing seller; Important for the Trust to maintain a good relationship with the owner / chairman; Important to have a council supportive of the football club; Club would need to run at break even; Wouldn't be able to compete above L1 / L2 level as clubs spend too...

    Coventry City fans to discuss possibility of supporter-led takeover

    Chap from Supporters Direct talking (missed his name), bit of history to start off with. Now onto the more important stuff. An average £1.7m a season loss for teams in L1, didn't give a figure for Championship but said it was silly money.

    12,570 last season, 9,332 the season before. Tickets £18-20 last season, £22-27 season before. Do you think ticket revenues were more last season or the season before?
