    Ricoh for next to nothing

    Two aspects to that Nick: One is whether you'd trust SISU with the Ricoh? What are the odds they'd separate it out and the club would find themselves in a similar tenant/landlord (or holdings/ltd) position. Even if you could resolve that (and let's face it given SISU's history who could...

    Coventry Rugby Club

    Which is akin to me saying your taste in music is shite. Frankly, it's a daft comment. Each to their own, I guess. I like both games, personally, but to suggest rugby players are gay is kind of a pathetic slur. Research seems to suggest that people who have a problem with homosexuals often...

    Free tickets for Sixfields

    So says the number one forum troll, who seemingly has to get a whine in about the protest on every thread. Who are you to say what represents the 'average' supporter?

    Coventry City boss admits 'errors' after leak of confidential players' documents

    On the contrary, there appears to be quite a lot of evidence that suggests undervalue or zero value transfers from one company to another, presumably as you've said with the intention of CCFC Ltd being able to break the lease with ACL. Other than Fisher's assertions (which seem to be steadily...

    Coventry City boss admits 'errors' after leak of confidential players' documents

    Excellent point. Everything is in a terrible mess apart from the bits that suit SISU which are all in perfect order! How convenient.

    In fairness, they're may never have been a board meeting, but it doesn't absolve TF of his legal duties. In case it helps, they're outlined here in the CCFC Ltd accounts, just above his signature. It would seem remarkable that between Jun 2012 and Jan 2013 they'd shifted all of those assets in...

    That's an interesting take on it - but the books that TF signed off for Ltd in June 2012 still seemed to suggest that the players and most of the business of the club was transacted through Ltd. I believe that he was legally obliged at that point to make it clear that there had been a major...

    More from APOM

    I'm not sure it has been done within legal limits - if the players were within Ltd and transferred to Holdings, what value did Ltd receive for them? There's some detail below in regard to undervalue transfers of assets, I don't think it's as hard for creditors to prove this as you might think...

    Gary Mcsheffrey

    But its not a redundancy situation. So it would be seen as a breach of contract I appreciate SISU prefer to weasel out of contracts, but I'm afraid he's fully entitled to be paid up in full or accept a settlement on his terms. An average Joe would be entitled to the same protection under the...

    Council Leader Has No Intention Of Resolving City Issue - MEP

    Actually, in terms of the blame game I'm very much 95% SISU/5% ACL on all this, if not even more extreme. But I don't think the Council or ACL should ever close their door to meetings with SISU. Sooner or later, both sides will have to talk. Having said that, I'd expect there's a lot of spin...

    SISU Appeal Judicial Review

    I don't know - honestly, who does? Did anyone expect that the bond would be as low as £1m, and not even paid upfront or held in escrow. Would it really be a surprise if they let this slip as well?

    SISU Appeal Judicial Review

    Actually, they didn't get all of their money. Even assuming the FL enforced the CVA terms, it's still just a proportion of what they are actually owed - and it offers them very little compared to the true value of the lease. I wonder even ACL even knew about this clause - it seems to have come...

    Party on jimmys hill

    Fair play Moff, I appreciate that. And I'm sorry for getting so angry about it, I really try hard to make my point without causing offence but something about this has really got under my skin. I'm sure Cobblers36 and NTFC are perfectly decent types, and like almost all fans we could probably...

    Party on jimmys hill

    Yes mate, yes I would be moaning. It's our ground (or at least was), and I wouldn't want to share it with anyone. Lots of different reasons, but not least of which because I like football to be played on the deck and that's going to be hard if a pitch is churned up twice a week in winter. And...

    Party on jimmys hill

    I think it is partly NTFC's fault, because if their chairman hadn't taken the cash then it would likely have forced SISU down a different road. As for attacking Cobblers36, the point I'm making is that he admits he doesn't care what happens to us, but then seeks to offer "advice" on our...

    Party on jimmys hill

    You've admitted you don't give a fuck, so why are you here at all? Is it to whine about us standing on the hill. Again. Basically it strikes me that you're the forum equivalent of a rubbenecker - you're just here to watch our car crash of a club without actually wanting to do anything to...

    50+1 Fan Control of club

    You mean like Cardoza? We're fighting because we don't think we've lost our club yet, despite all the crap that's gone on. Politely, why don't you start a Phoenix club in Northampton on the 50+1 basis? That way you wouldn't be exposed to dodgy types doing things like groundsharing just to...

    "Jimmy Hillers". Stay away

    Actually, some of us want to fight for our club. It's not dead yet. Being blase means that you probably can't see that. I'm happy enough to debate the why's and wherefores of this with Cov fans who care - but I don't really see the need for advice from someone who is mostly looking out for...

    "Jimmy Hillers". Stay away

    Although in fairness if the reverse had happened and you'd been turfed out, and we'd 'rescued' you to play at the Ricoh, I hope you would have found more of our fans willing to be critical of our owner's actions than you seem to be against yours. I probably wouldn't have objected to you...

    Fisher backtracks already

    Running at break even with the club at the Ricoh might have given them a chance of selling the club and cutting their losses - now what are they going to do? Let's say they run the club at a loss using your figures for the next five years. That puts them £10m down. Then they've got to plan and...
