    There is no pending land deal...

    Did indeed exist, of course it would have needed financing so maybe instead of taking on the Ricoh project the council could have given the club a low interest loan to buy back HR. I'm betting they never made an offer to do anything like that.

    Neutral Fan, what's your post count on the MK Dons, AFC Wimbledon and Wasps forums?

    There is no pending land deal...

    Where did I say they should have done that? Pretty much any other solution anyone can think of would have been better for CCFC. CCC could have lent the club the few million they actually put in themselves so we would have retained full ownership. They could have given us a rent to buy deal. All...

    There is no pending land deal...

    Of course if the caring council and Higgs didn't charge us £1.2m a year in rent we might never had needed to be 'rescued' by SISU.

    Walsall Predictions

    2-1 to us, this will be the year we don't go downhill after Xmas. At least we'd better not or we'll be in L2.

    The Way Forward

    If they can achieve break even they can stick around for years just in the hope that something miraculous happens and they get their money back somehow.

    Madine Stays for another month !!

    The sensible option if they want a fee and we don't want to pay it. Guess it's wait and see now and hope nobody will make a better offer.

    New stadium site is known

    The idea that CCFC start putting on their own events is pretty bonkers. Event management is it's own industry, we'd need to recruit staff with expertise and, as with starting any new venture, risk losing money. Plus we would be competing with several local companies who own their own event space...

    Madine - SP not hopeful

    with the short deals there's also the problem that if they come in and do well they will often get a better offer elsewhere. of course the flip side is ending up stuck with players for years who aren't up to the job but maybe if the recruitment was better the % of signings that applied to would...

    The Way Forward

    Would self sufficiency work even if we achieved it? It sounds great and we certainly should be able to get out of L1 and into the Championship but where from there. You're allowed to lose millions in that division, not to mention teams with parachute payments, how would we be competitive with...

    The Way Forward

    Isn't advertising done by the game or season? Would expect so in which case the lack of advertising isn't down to people thinking we're moving, more to do with a general distrust of SISU, it not being cost effective or not wanting to be associated with the CCFC 'brand'.

    The Way Forward

    It's all great in theory but as I've said every time they post one of these missives actions speak louder than words. Give us some detail on how they will achieve their objectives and show that they are making progress towards them and then maybe they'll start to get some fans on board. Of...

    Article about sums it up

    Important question, does Juggy have big ears? If not why's he called Juggy, can't be his real name!

    Article about sums it up

    It's odd that none of the stolen stock seems to have turned up anywhere. It's not like it's Man Utd stuff they can offload anywhere.

    Article about sums it up

    What are the odds they've been told to pay for everything up front? Maybe the SBT could approach the club for a statement on why there is so little in the club stock and if they blame it on Puma the trust can contact them and see if they say the same.

    Article about sums it up

    I order a lot of merchandise for tours, including football and hockey shirts. If the club are being quoted those sort of lead times they need to change suppliers. I've never been quoted more than 8 weeks and that's for customs designs from scratch. These are standard Puma designs with our badge...

    Question for SCG

    Can the trust suggest that someone independent, maybe the Dean of Coventry, signs a confidential agreement and is then given full view of all the information SISU have regarding the new ground. He can then report back, without revealing any confidential details, if he believes there is a new...

    New stadium site is known

    The involvement of Garlick is strange. She seems like an intelligent woman but given some of her roles such as the chamber of commerce she's going to make herself look pretty stupid by getting involved if, as expected by most, there is no new stadium. Has she genuinely been shown something that...

    Coventry Council WILL support a new stadium...

    Little more than a PR piece from Matton, all he's done is state the law which has been mentioned many times on here. That's a lot different from saying CCC will support any new stadium project and do anything they can to help and to keep the club in the city. Which part of the site was Dunlop...
