    ACL: "We are absolutely flabbergasted by Tim Fisher's statement today"

    ACL statement says but ACL told Sky Blue Trust and the CT reported Doen't seem to match for me. Now I'm not saying SISU are right here and ACL wrong but I think a lot of people take any statement that comes from SISU as being 100% lies and anything from ACL as 100% truth, IMO the truth...

    SISU Finances explained

    Unless this has changed in the last week ccc haven't actually sourced any money from the public works loans, it's come from "council cash balances", not entirely sure what that is but I assume its the money they have in the bank from council tax.

    Skyblues Trust email received this afternoon

    I'm not in favour of playing any home games outside of Coventry but given the status of things between SISU and ACL there absolutely has to be a contingency plan. To not have one means that should we get to the start of the season without an agreement to play at the Ricoh we are thrown out of...

    If there was a genuine plan to move back

    I couldn't care less if we moved from the Ricoh to eventually play somewhere else in the city. Of course there would have to be a viable plan and I assume the FL would put something in place to ensure it's stuck to as they aren't going to let the club move out of Cov forever. Of course there's...

    court papers explained

    If it was secured against anything it would be the lease. York Bank aren't in the business of managing stadiums so now doubt they would have looked to sell the lease on to recover as much of the debt as they could. Wonder who would be interested in buying that?! I think we can accept that...

    Ricoh Arena Misses Out

    It's all SISUs fault ;)

    court papers explained

    we need to remember that any kind of audit or court action will be based solely around what is or isn't legal (if legal is the right term when referring to state aid). As long as SISU have acted legally, even if they have massively bent the rules, they're fine. What's right morally or ethically...

    court papers explained

    Not sure why people have a problem with the CT publishing this, it's clear it's from SISU side as it's papers that have lodged. It also says the council were asked to respond to the points raised and didn't. Either SISU seriously think they have a case or it's a tactic to delay things / put...

    Do you still think it was a great solution?

    admin doesn't have to mean you lose all the debt and start again with new owners. Lets say SISU, or a SISU associate, is owed the £60m. They would then have to agree any CVA to prevent further points penalty. Lets say £30m of that debt isn't money SISU have put it (was carried over when they...

    Breaking news - players released

    that makes more sense than everyone being booted out. isn't that fairly standard under administation as the administrator has to cut costs as low as possible?

    Breaking news - players released

    are we talking about all the players being released or just being told who is being released? if SISU try and release all the players things could get interesting quickly as that's sure to light a fire under the FL and PFA.

    Clarke-harris

    I might have imagined it or made it up but I think there's different rules for performance enhancing and recreational and recreational is a 30 (or maybe 60 day) ban and not officially announced anywhere. I guess if Ferdinand missed a test they assume the worst and ban as if it were performance...

    Clarke-harris

    I don't think drugs test failures get officially announced anywhere, is it not just a 30 day suspension which could be passed off as an injury?

    latest statement from Mr Appleton

    That's not how I interpret what he's saying. Bear in mind that as administrator he can't run the company at a loss, to me it looks like he's saying holdings paid before, they are prepared to pay now so take the money off them. Didn't Gregor Rioch say he would pay it himself? Why not accept that...

    latest statement from Mr Appleton

    I can understand the hatred of SISU given what's happened to the club under their charge but it seems strange that people feel the need to find a way to blame them for everything while putting no blame on ACL / Higgs / Council. Appleton has to act impartially as he will have to report to the...

    Next golden question ?

    he's on holiday isn't he?

    Golden share found!

    Can someone clarify for me, cwr are reporting that the FL confirmed the location of the golden share, mercia are reporting that they FL have just confirmed where they think it is, which we already knew. Which one is correct? As for moving out of Cov I don't think the plan to move back, as far...

    Stewards

    wouldn't they just use the stewards from whatever stadium they end up playing at?

    Alternative Ground

    I don't go every week as it is due to living in Pompey these days. I would go as much as I go now, possibly a bit more if it's somewhere closer / easier for me to get to, possibly a bit less if it's somewhere north of the city and increases my jounery. My take is I support the football club...
