Medium term it may make more sense to keep CCFC on a slow burner in the hope that SISU get the message and go. I would be keeping CCFC as a possible purchase when SISU give up. They were shrewd enough to get the Ricoh on the cheap, maybe, if they play their cards right, they could get CCFC at...

I would think that they are well aware of our owner's business tactics and that it won't be that simple. How can you structure a deal with SISU at the moment? They would be dealing with sharks, so I think nothing will happen for a while. They are in the driving seat and SISU are up s--t creek...

ok, but you call yourself "intheknow". Is there any significance - I.e. do you know more than, say, Les Reid? Or did you just choose the wrong name?

It may be to do with the fact that SISU are in charge of the destiny of CCFC and, quite frankly, the future is not looking good. Losing to Worcester at home and losing the Ricoh show the extent of our demise under SISU.

Is this a porn forum? You seem to think that we are wanking or creaming or getting hard on a CCFC forum. There are much better forums for wanking. Actually the constant stream of bad news relating to CCFC has the opposite effect on me. Anyone got a good price on Viagra?

support is the wrong word. Observation. From what I have seen Wasps are going about moving into the Ricoh the right way. SISU came as a secretive hedge fund who promptly upset the landlords, the council and anyone with whom they came into contact with. They could have started as Wasps, and...

quick question - how good was SISU's PR when they came and how did they integrate with the city ( the one with same name as in the football club's name )?

A far cry from the mediocre third division team playing second fiddle to a rugby club..... It's almost unbelievable that we scored such great goals against top sides - once upon a time. The discussions over crap loan players, poor signings, low attendances, etc. etc. are our present day reality...

They will get more for London Irish than City will get for Fleetwood. That is where we are. Second fiddle to a rugby club. Pathetic. Pity we can't sack our owners.

You're the one who says the fans can't be arsed to support the club. If you say that much louder, SISU may just do that.

My dream too. We are not a big city and need to share resources ( under one holding company ) to compete with the bigger cities - as with Swansea - football and Rugby. We also need the controlling company to be committed to sporting success in addition to commercial success ( as Wasps appear to...

more chance of finding me via HSV Supporters Club or Adler Kiel Rugby club.... ( seriously though - still city, but very disillusioned ).

Yes. I see the problem of only being a tenant of Wasps coming to the fore when their colours are everywhere - and a huge Wasp replaces the CCFC sign. Then you can see that we are the smaller club ( club with no own stadium ). Problem is that we are not committed to the Ricoh and so why would we...

how is the CCFC Fan Base coming along by the way? I don't know if Wasps are shitting it, as you put it, but I don't think they can lose on the deal they got for the shares. I think it is obvious to a blind man that they are doing a better job at wooing support and building relationships with the...

Why should a Wasps owners be interested in Coventry politics? I would have thought that their principle motivations would be commercial and sporting success.

And what does their P.i.t.S. stadium have in terms of facilities ( training centre? Hot dog shop? )? Where will they find a site with such good road connections as the Ricoh and a station being built next door? Madness not getting the Ricoh...

There is still the outstanding loan.....but apparently with good management, that can be paid from income. The naming rights are due for renewal which should bring in millions. It is a good deal - which SISU should have been after instead of unencumbered freehold and then court cases. Building a...

Yes, but now they own a 250 year lease and can Plan long term.

Ok, but it is obviously limited. In our case, I think SISU were aware of talks with Wasps and that helped swing the return - as well as the marches etc.. Fans want success or at least an attempt at success. Our owners are not interested in that ( ok it would be nice for them ), but at the moment...

are CCC or ACL obliged to have the best interests of CCFC at heart? Or do they have other responsibilities? Our owners are probably the only party obliged to at least try and run the club - it must say in the Articles and Memorandum what the aims of the company ( Otium ) are. The fans are...
