    Rumour: Hoffman and Elliot takeover negotiations

    Do fans have a veto over who Sisu will sell to? I think we are already the unluckiest set of fans over the last 10 years. How unlucky would we be to get owners worse than Sisu? Impossible in fact because no one is worse than Sisu.

    Rumour: Hoffman and Elliot takeover negotiations

    I am pleased that you have bothered to put this on here.. Even if it comes to nothing it gives a bit of hope. You cannot win as people are asking for more info and when you give it to them you just get moans or abuse from some. I think most people will be pleased with what ever info you can give.

    Rumour: Hoffman and Elliot takeover negotiations

    If you are from the north east I would guess that person to be Mark Venus?

    Brighton / Coventry

    As mentioned more room with the demolishion of the swimming baths and sports hall although something student related will already be planned for there I would think. If you had a stadium with student accommodation as part of the package I am sure it would be looked on more favourably.

    Rumour: Hoffman and Elliot takeover negotiations

    I agree with most of this. It does seem that ACL were on the way out and that obviously CCC have a duty of care for the whole City not just CCFC. It is worth noting that even the Tory opposition voted for the sale to Wasps.Could ACL have hung on indefinitely? It doesn't seem they could. Should...

    Rumour: Hoffman and Elliot takeover negotiations

    I didn't say it should. I was just asking how someone else who loves and supports the club in the way that I do came to a different conclusion.

    Same thing really. It all comes back to Sisu in the end as it is their appointees ( Fisher and Venus) who make the appointments. Maybe it is Fisher who needs to go rather than blame the 6 managers who have come and gone while he remains. Fisher is Sisu's man.

    Rumour: Hoffman and Elliot takeover negotiations

    If you believe Fisher and Seppala they were never coming back to the Ricoh. They were never coming back to Coventry. On what grounds was that not permenant? You can say why believe those people. What other criteria did supporters have to go on? I genuinely believed that their act of...

    Rumour: Hoffman and Elliot takeover negotiations

    It was a genuine question. I agree with the answers to all of the three questions you set. Where we differ I suspect would be in the reasons for number three. I wish that CCC had not sold the Ricoh to Wasps as that really is, as we would both agree, the hammer blow to our future. However I can...

    Rumour: Hoffman and Elliot takeover negotiations

    Looking at the answers to the first two questions, should City fans have gone into Sixfields?

    Rumour: Hoffman and Elliot takeover negotiations

    Well that puts the whole move into perspective. How was anyone supposed to know what the truth of the matter was, temporary move or moving for good. The fact is that you cannot believe a word that comes out of his mouth. The independent view from the judge was that there was no good reason to...

    Tim Fisher: Fun Facts

    His connection with the North Korean leader goes deeper as he was present, and will testify to the truth of the matter, when Kim Jong Il scored his record breaking 11 holes in one. Honest Tim as the North Koreans call him.

    Rumour: Hoffman and Elliot takeover negotiations

    Supposed to be for three years with no return to the Ricoh and any new stadium being built outside of Coventry. According to Tim therefore we were never coming back.

    That's true, but you can't help thinking what might have been with just a bit of discussion.

    The Good Business Sense of SISU

    Not quite true if you read what JH had to say about the situation. He had asked for a ten year contract, a request which Robbins rejected. JH has stated that he was hoping that they would come back to him with a compromise deal but when this never happened, he left. The fact he stayed on for...

    Regrets - RS

    So the fact we are now in the fourth division is simply down to CCFC nothing to do with Sisu? Having no stadium to play in after next season, no academy, training ground up for sale, all down to CCFC, nothing to do with Sisu? You are right that Sisu can take credit for the good start last...

    Brighton / Coventry

    Pool Meadow would be a great site. The ball might end up on the ring road occasionally, but a more central place you couldn't find. Might even be able to reconfigure the road lay out so that the new club grounds could occupy the area where the swimming baths and the sports hall are now. Right...

    The Good Business Sense of SISU

    I believe that Dortman still have a massive terrace where fans can stand. It is understandable why the Taylor report called for all seater stadiums to be introduced but I feel it was an over reaction. For example, would a purpose built standing terrace be less safe than thousands of fans...
