Didn't really see anyone celebrating in truth, but there was a bit of jumping the gun hereabouts I think. What will be more interesting will be the analysis, I suspect. That'll save us having to talk about football too much. ;)

Blimey, I've never really been a fan of the web version of the CET which has always looked cheap and tacky to me. However it seems a bit harsh to me to fall out with a local paper because they throw out the odd opinion piece that I dislike, and support Wasps (which is not of necessity an...

How does Byng know that Otium's accounts have been submitted, unless he's in touch with Otium directly? And if he is in touch with them, and is serious about a bid, why does he need to wait for Companies House to review the accounts? As OSB says, anyone attempting a takeover will want to look...

More than happy with Mowbray if it turns out that way. A reputation for at least trying to play decent football, and has been around a bit. As torchy implies, we could do worse. However I am secretly disappointed that my Peter Reid/Bobby Gould 'dream team' suggestion hasn't been taken up by...

I'll be honest, getting more loan players in isn't really a big concern for me. Are we already over the limit for the number that we can field. The transfer embargo becomes a worry when we hit closed season, if it's in place then I'd say. At the precise moment I think the new manager will...

Outside Tescos, holding a bib with "I dribble for Coventry City" is what I'd like to see in the 'new manager' pic. And given how things are going, I reckon I've got a good chance. :)

They may have been filed, before we all get too excited...

Good point - I hadn't thought about the period covered. It's been ages since I had to submit accounts, isn't it something like nine months after the close of the financial year - in which case we're talking Jun 13 to May 14 (ish) off the top of my head. The Northampton period won't tell us...

Aren't we talking about Otium here?

It doesn't seem like great business practice leaving it as late as possible before filing, but it's hardly unique as I recall - it could well be the usual last-minutery that SISU seem to enjoy, and they are actually at Companies House now. Having said that, I also wouldn't be surprised if Otium...

I really don't think it's appropriate to 'out' forum users like this. Are you prepared to stick your real name up here, for the record? For what it's worth I'm a Coventry taxpayer and I'd be happy enough to put my name to that letter, so that part of your argument is absolute rubbish too...

f) fs! :)

D) Wasn't asked to return?

This does look a lot like the managerial stuff has taken focus away from the playing side. Having said that, I hope everyone gets behind Burge and he has a blinder.

I don't much like Waggott, but I've got to say that this is a pretty fair assessment imho.

I don't see the logic of this argument at all. Is anyone really saying that as fans we're not paying attention to what SISU are doing to the club (or not doing) because of the request for more clarity on what the council have done with regard to ACL etc.? That doesn't stand up at all, just...

Exactly that. There's no reason this has to be massively expensive, what you're looking for is a neutral arbiter with access to the documents and people involved. It's the sort of thing that the Local Govt Ombudsman does all of the time for individual complainants, and that service doesn't...

If you mean more lucrative in the sense that the council will get more interest, then that assumes that the loan is going to be paid back. As we've seen, without Richardson chucking millions into Wasps, it's not a profitable business. CCFC is now apparently cash flow neutral - would opening up...

As it stands though, this is a business that relies entirely on the goodwill of a single investor to survive. Isn't that the case? If he pulled out tomorrow, and/or asked for repayment of the other 8.5m he's owed, Wasps is finished. I don't wish the bloke ill, but what if he falls upon hard...

That's not quite true if it turns out that Wasps are actually a bigger risk than the council purported. It also ignores the fact that when the council bailed out ACL they told precisely the reverse story regarding its profitability in order to justify it.
