Ah right, i thought we were talking about a transfer of staff from CCFC ltd to Otium, not Holdings to Otium. That said, TUPE still does not apply as if Holdings is a wholly owned subsidiary of Otium as they seem to be implying then nothing has changed and the status quo is maintained. The only...

Right lets clear a few things up seeing as employment law is my area of expertise. TUPE only applies when a position (ie a job, post, body of work, whatever you want to call it) transfers directly from one company to another with no change to that job role. So if employee X is employed as a...

Well as a result of todays comprehensive spending review it now looks extremely likely that i will lose my job so i wont be able to afford to go to any more games regardless of where they are...................

I know what you mean but the club has to have the academy players and it would be tricky to build an entire new first team squad in the time available

Im not sure that rule applies when you buy a club out of administration

Well this explains why ACL have employed the clubs groundsman doesn't it! Tis a bit of a ploy this but a clever one.

Not going to be cheap though is it. Ltd may have the golden share but it has bugger all else. If they want the players from SISU then they are going to have to pay for them.

This could actually be a good move, ACL buys ltd out of admin, then ACL & Club are sold wholesale to Haskell & Co. Council keep hold of the bricks and mortar so that they still have a finger in the pie.

it's conjecture but fits the facts. Michael Byng has ties with Huawei. He has said that one of the firms in the consortium is Chinese with a major presence in the UK and wanting to grease the wheels of further UK expansion. Huawei are expanding their UK operations and making a major push...

For the simple reason that they are specifically interested in doing business in Coventry. It's a prime transport hub for the whole of the UK and is local for a number of good universities to provide them with the graduates they need. Should point out that it is only conjecture that it is...

It was me that posted about Huawei. They are seriously big players and they are looking for a huge brand push in Europe, the UK in particular. They have been making handsets for other people for ages but are now looking to push ahead with their own products. They are going to build a centre...

Yeah I get that but the club are now in a significantly worse state than they were when SISU took control and the only way out of it so far as SISU are concerned is to build a whole new stadium and effectively start again. Which is going to take at least 3 years, during which they will have to...

it could well be that ACL are bidding to buy CCFC ltd. Makes sense really, if the golden share is in ltd and the FL are happy for it to remain there then they have a pretty strong case, owners of the stadium, their debt has been secured by the council paying off the mortgage etc. If they had...

This just adds to my feeling that SISU are somehow making money out of the club by some means other than the footballing side. Even the most inept owners would surely realise that they need to try and keep the fans at least a little bit onside if they are to go ahead with ground sharing and then...

The Council are just as responsible for this mess as SISU.

There must be a way in which they are generating cash from the club, there has to be because otherwise it makes no sense. Hedge funds are about investing in a promising business, developing it and selling on for a profit, all in the relative short term. Owning a football club makes no sense for...

How can SISU not see that coming out with statements like this only further alienates the fans? If they truly are in it for the long haul as they claim why are they not trying to build bridges?

Done. 10 characters worth of done.

Have emailed the league and the FA this morning. Have also written to my MP, not that he will do anything and as I don't live in Coventry it's not really anything to do with him either but I like to keep him busy.

I agree. I expect it will likely be one of Puma's generic kits, albeit in Sky blue
