    Nice article in the Independent

    It depends how you look at it I suspect, imagine OSB could explain better than me. Essentially the debt was largely wiped with promises of future payments if we reached the PL in a certain timeframe. However despite the fact the debts weren't actually paid SISU seemed to use an accounting trick...

    Coventry City FC need 11,000 fans at every home game....

    Not sure if anyone saw on Twitter or knows who's behind it but someone has taken to bringing their own pictures of our players to the match and taping them up around the concourse.

    Cleary we have a manager that doesn't have a clue what he's on about

    Nice article in the Independent

    Read what I am saying. In all but name we were in administration, the fact that we weren't was down to a technicality regarding who the money was owed to. KPMG ran what to all intents and purposes was a full administration process. The did exactly the same things they would have done had we...

    Coventry City FC need 11,000 fans at every home game....

    Well from your picute I can make out 2 Wasps logos, can't really make out the CCFC logos as they are significantly smaller. And of course your picture either obscures or was taken before the Wasps logos around the perimeter of the pitch. TM keeps talking about the identity of the club, hence...

    Nice article in the Independent

    KPMG ran it exactly the same as they would an administration process. They sought out all potential buyers. If you recall at the time there was interest besides SISU however the council put an end to interest from all but SISU as they were not prepared to release control of the Ricoh. There was...

    Nice article in the Independent

    People seem to forget that the process run at the time was in all but name administration. KPMG were even brought in to run it. The only reason we technically didn't go into administration at that point was that the debt was to the likes of Robinson and putting the club into administration would...

    Seems like the club are sorting it or at least attempting to. They're looking at upgrading the online system, including making match packages available; have requested the ticket office phone system be upgraded so calls can queue and are looking at issues with pay on the gate. If anyone has any...

    Coventry City FC need 11,000 fans at every home game....

    11K is what we need to be in line with the budget the club submitted for SCMP. Less and the budget could go down, possibly leading to embargo if we're already up to the limit. More interesting if we average more then around Xmas there should be some pressure on Waggott to give TM more if he...

    England U21s at the Ricoh

    That's the usual trick, put a couple of local team players in the squad to shift tickets. Yes, perfect example of why the football club needs stadium ownership. This game wouldn't be taking place at the Ricoh if it was only used by Wasps so essentially it is another source of revenue generated...

    Crewe Fans

    They don't seem to have a particularly active forum. Had a quick look before the game as I was going to post about the plan for the 15th min. Maybe someone should contact the club (via Kieran?) and ask them to send a letter of thanks on behalf of everyone.

    Live commentary from matches

    Guess it wasn't covered by any contract as it was a friendly so just needed the two clubs to agree it. The chaps that did the commentary usually do Havant & Waterlooville games as well as Portsmouth Ladies.

    M6 El Classico

    They rent the ground to Villa for either their reserves or youth team (or possibly both) and also rent it out for regular car boot sales. Sure there's other things they do to generate income as well.
