"All is fair in business". Shows how far we have come. SISU has a negative effect on our morals. It may be for SISU, but councils and charities are accountable here in Britain. Why should the council, through it's partly owned subsidiary, get a bad credit rating by screwing over other companies...

"Support the owners in reuniting the club with the stadium. To do that you don't need to be a SISU supporter but you do need to make our council see sense and show they care about having a football club in our city and keeping the Ricoh dream alive. Football club owners come and go and if the...

Everyone ( every fan ) wants the club to get the revenue it generates. Just that, some think the revenue might end up in the Cayman Isles..... and not be used for acheiving sporting success.

Yes, they probably do care. A golden share and the name Coventry City is probably worth more than, say, with the name Rushden and Diamonds. I think they should forfeit the name CCFC if they no longer want to play in Coventry. It leaves the name CCFC free for a successor team to be formed. SISU (...

There was a description on here a couple of weeks ago - from a press report ( Guardian ? ). No names though.

They lost a part of their investment the day SISU bought CCFC without completing "due diligence" thoroughly. A clear, and avoidable, mistake. Our problems are the result of this. Business is sometimes brutal and JS should admit this and move on. She can't though, as she would have to explain the...

ARVO wealthbuilder fund has financed CCFC. The investors are US universities and wealthy people - with Cayman Isles bank accounts. They want their money back with interest. Does anyone believe the investors give a damn about this discussion? The whole stadium debate is a ruse. SISU need to show...

JS, by her own admission, knows nothing about football and has no interest in running a football club. The last thing she needs is another "soccer" club. She wants her money back and getting involved in a merger with Northampton Town would be as clever as buying CCFC without a stadium.

Is the management fee itemised? e.g. "Bookkeeping"

Question: do the Investors in ARVO actually know about the risks here? If it is a "wealthbuilder fund" controlled, in effect by JS, they just put their money in the fund based on past results and whatever Joy tells them about great investments. They may be hoping for a return from ARVO without...

What do you call populist and SISU bashing? To a point you are right in as far as some people blame SISU for everything, but SISU do deserve criticism for the situation CCFC are in. They are the owners and their decisions from the day they made the mistake of buying CCFC, are the main reason we...

No they have not released plans, neither are they involved in serious talks with LAs. The threat was made by JS to involve the council in time consuming and expensive litigation if they did not agree to sell her the Ricoh. I assume that is why the JR is still going on. There have indeed been...

You are all assuming SISU change the name. What if Coventry Council or some Coventry grouping find a way of forcing a change of name because SISU's team play permanently somewhere else and SISU "damage" the council financially or their reputation so much that jobs in Coventry are effected? If it...

Notts County are in the relegation zone. So maybe they are not coping too well....

If I remember rightly, football attendances increased after the World Cup in 66. The Rangers Celtic games got a lot of attention in the press around 68 because of violence and this spread into England. The "skin-head", originally the haircut of borstal boys, became fashionable partly because...

Christian Values are normaly cherry picked to fit in with what you are currently involved in. They can involve slavery, racism, persecution of jews, wars etc.... So it should no problem to justify moving a football club. By the way, what happened to this year's Christmas message? I haven't seen...

She is a devout Christian, and loves her family. Great. Doesn't give a toss about CCFC apart from it's monetary value though. Last year as things were looking brighter ( another false dawn ) we got a Christmas message if I recall correctly. Looking forward to this year's message. I don't like...

Propaganda war….. both sides. Expect more rumours and inuendos…. Evidence? According to Labovitch the stadium is carrying the debt, so if you follow that line, it doesn't matter what the players earn. More important is the rent from people who will use the stadium - err the anchor tenant...

The "we won't be going" arena

Yes, we're in a full scale Propaganda war. The attempt to frighten critics and the sudden change of text from Coventry journalists was a forebodeing of what was about to come. The last article in Fanzone was factually inaccurate and misleading - SISU would have jumped on it with lawyers if were...
