I was gonna say this, its not set in stone that Leon is on the transfer list and I do kinda think that if someone was going to come in for him they would have done so already, its not like we are in a position to say no.

Bugger I am still on hols then, would have loved to have gone to that game.

Sometimes love is tough. If the club has to be starved in order to ultimately save it then thats what has to happen.

My thoughts exactly

I think im actually at the point where I wouldn't return at all whilst SISU remain in charge, even if they bought the Ricoh today and we were playing there again from next weekend with the embargo lifted and signings coming in I'd still have to think long and hard about whether I'd want to...

There are discussions taking place about a Phoenix club (look at the Coventry 1883 threads on here) but setting up a new club, at least one with serious ambitions, is time consuming, labour intensive and can be very expensive. Plus it would have to start from the bottom of the FL pyramid and...

I think they will end up staying at Sixfields. It is set to expand to a 10-11k capacity, the renovations are being paid for by a council loan which NTFC have to pay back and the plans include hotels, shops, housing and other developments around the site. Sounds just like the kind of thing SISU...

Yes sorry I meant United. Their website also states that a plan is in place to offer fans the chance to purchase shares in the club. It makes sense for United to become 1883 as it's already off the ground so to speak.

In fairness, i think the investment in to 1883 as been pretty minimal, they have just covered the start up costs. I disagree as well that this has been done too soon, I see no reason why a fan-owned and controlled team can't co-exist alongside CCFC, I know many people who go to both Man U and...

I think the real issue is that we have come to think of the Ricoh as home and it makes no sense to anyone to build a new ground whilst the ricoh lies empty.

I cant get access to the northampton website but read the abridged version on Cov Mad, sounds more like sixfields is going to be redeveloped rather than a complete new stadium. So where has the money come from for that then? I thought the cobblers were skint? Is it just me or do their plans for...

They dont need the freehold, just 100% ownership of ACL so that they can access all the revenues generated. I imagine they would be quite happy for the council to keep the freehold provided it was on a suitably long lease, say 50 years minimum. Whilst it may stick in the throat to see SISU get...

Personally I like the red and green kit, those colours have a much longer standing association with the city than sky blue does, although i can understand why some fans want to see the club play in blue. Perhaps Coventry United could have a red and green home kit and a sky blue away kit, that...

Sadly, I think the answer to that is a very long time...........

I guess thats possible but its not as if Willis hasn't played. He's young but he's not a kid, has had a loan spell and played in the city first team. He was also quite obviously kept in the squad over the likes of Edge and Malaga. I know a lot of that has to do with cost but you'd like to think...

The one thing I cant fathom is why Jordan Clarke is being played out of position whilst Willis idles on the bench? Unless its a fitness issue I can't understand it. Having shipped 10 goals you'd at least think about giving one of our few recognised centre halves a game wouldn't you?

I know I feel the same but I will make some away games. I wonder what the rules are on changing your ground in-season? If by some miracle SISU sold up and we could go back to the Ricoh would we have to wait until next season?

Struck me whilst reading the match report of the Bristol game that our sorry state of affairs has led to one positive of sorts - we now have an extremely strong contingent of young, local lads in the side. In our starting line up we had Cyrus, Jordan Clarke, Conor Thomas, Callum Wilson and...

I believe the crux of the problem lies in the fact that Otium/SISU had done a deal to play at Sixsheds before the administration of Ltd had been resolved and whilst an offer of reduced rent was still on the table from ACL. So essentially Otium broke the lease agreement with ACL and NTFC are...

I cant imagine that any sporting franchise ACL could realistically bring in would make enough use of the stadium to be the sole tenants. Even if Rugby League did go to the Ricoh there is no reason CCFC couldn't play there as well.
