Guess they mean depends on how the word is used. You probably couldn't have AFC Coventry City as people would drop the AFC and you'd have two teams called the same thing. City of Coventry AFC or something like that would be OK. Personally I'd keep it simple and just go for AFC Coventry. Quite...

Probably just him giving an opinion off the cuff, none of us really knows yet people want to take his opinion as fact when it suits their argument.

Why would Bates have consulted an administration specialist when not in administration? I'm sure he would have spoken to others but isn't it more likely that the people he spoke to would have been those more used to dealing with takeovers rather than administration. Is there any actual...

Are we really suggesting that a guy worth £164m couldn't afford to buy the club? How would Guilfoyle know if he had the money anyway, he would never have had any reason to need to see proof of funds from PH4. People worth that much can generally get their hands on a fair bit of cash if...

is there any particular reason people were expecting thousands to go to Rotherham?

Correct, legally as a charity they have very little choice other than to accept a CVA that offers some return. ACL, as a private company, have different legal requirements but still have to operate within the law so presumably those that think ACL rejected the CVA for reasons other than the best...

I think the option to buy the Higgs share has gone but technically the lease will still exist until liquidation. Didn't SISUs CVA offer include a pay off to cancel the remainder of the contract?

Genuine question for you Nick do you think we will return to Coventry given that SISU have stated the new ground will not be in Coventry?

Nothing wrong with that but we'll see what happens. Once the window closes we need to have at least the same strength and depth in the squad as we do currently and ideally we need to increase both areas if we want to make a serious go at the play offs, especially with regard to squad depth. If...

I think that someone checked with the police before the first game and was told that so long as there was no trouble there wouldn't be an issue. I imagine if thousands turned up on the hill there might be safety issues but so far there doesn't seem to have been any problems for the guys on the hill.

You're asking that question with the benefit of hindsight. ACL are supposed to be getting the same amount now as was proposed under the CVA so if you flip the question around financially what have they lost? You have to remember that ACL are a company in their own right and have a legal...

Mate of mine does business in Northampton and advertises with cobblers sometimes and gets free tickets as a result. He's invited me to our games a couple of times this season when he's been offered freebies. He's told me that he now gets offered pretty much as many as he wants for every 'home'...

If it was to happen I don't see how anyone could blame it on ACL. Given that the company being liquidated is no longer part of the football club (and we've already had a 10 point deduction for that) the only reason I can see for another deduction would be failure to pay the money owed to ACL...

And there is the big flaw in the plan. They want revenues from non match day activities which requires a complex that has additional facilities and is in a decent location. Things like big box retail sites are struggling even with decent locations, they aren't going to get many stores wanting to...

if he's said 9 then it's unlikely to be somewhere closer isn't it? If it was he would have given a lower number. Of course if depends where they're taking as the starting point, didn't they say it was distance from the council house or have I imagined that? If so someone knock up a map that...

How many people went to see Take That / Bon Jovi / tennis / snooker etc that have never been to a Coventry game? Works both ways and there's a definite argument to be made that the Ricoh is for more than just football fans.

So we're told the Ricoh is a healthily business with lots of visitors yet Grendel tells us people from Coventry never go there. That's excellent news then as it means all of those attending the Ricoh are from out of town and bringing money into the local economy that wouldn't otherwise have been...

If liquidating CCFC somehow gives SISU the best return then I don't think they'd think twice about doing it. Our hope has to be that CCFC is worth more to them as a going concern, or at least what's left of one, that through being liquidated.

How long would that process take? You could be adding a lot more years playing in Northampton. Even at 3 -5 years you have to worry how many fans will be left when we come back. What about if its 5 - 10 years or longer?

Whenever I get talking to Saints fans down here they always mention how glad they are they turned SISU away and got rid of Tango Ken who they viewed as worse than useless.
