    Article: Coventry City will be forced to sell players

    There might just be some truth in the article. It was said at the PC that more money was needed and that it was uncertain the club would avoid administration in the summer if new investors were not found. That said I can't help feel a bit puzzled by the hate against SISU. They have already...

    Roland Nilsson appointed manager

    ... at FC Copenhagen. Oh well, so much for the SISU - Malmoe connection. They can't get anything right, can they?

    and so phase II begins ...

    The original business plan didn't work and phase I ended as textbook example: Shuffle at the board, sacking of AB and eventually RR (don't buy into this whole 'resigning' spin). The emerging new business plan will involve buying the Ricoh Arena to make sure the club sees more revenue. The...

    SISU's Investment or lack of...

    There's a slight catch ... if we still play in this division about half of that investment would be worth nothing and the weekly losses would be a lot more than 80K!

    New Swedish investors on the way?

    I think it would be the other way around ...

    Ccfc rip?

    It is completely unpredictable what will happen if SISU decides to pull the plug. Administration is not a 'sure thing' - they may decide to wind up the company and avoid all the legal procedures which takes up resources (time and money). If SISU are aware of all the negative feelings the...

    Put the blame where it belongs

    There were many external creditors - the bank to name one. SISU paid them off. The 'where have the debts gone' debate is not simple to understand and there are many myths floating around. The simple answer is: The previous 'external' debts have been converted to 'internal' debts. This means that...

    Put the blame where it belongs

    Skybluetom, Nice reply and well written. I think we all need to understand that from SISU's point of wiev this is just another investment. And the investment is made on the same premisses as every other investments - to make a profit. SISU themselves didn't wake up one morning with the bright...

    Put the blame where it belongs

    I think you will find that when SISU took over they paid all outstanding creditors (in some cases at a discount). The only way that could happen was by actually paying with SISU money. Over the years they have also used money to even out the operating loss. I hear that all amounts to £25+mio...

    Put the blame where it belongs

    Seems like 80-85% on this board are certain that all bad things are courtesy of SISU. That if they only shower the club with a few extra milions everything will be fine. But it may not be as simple as that. SISU have already invested >25mio Pounds. That is actually quite a lot of money. And...

    Article: Ray Ranson set to resign as Coventry City Chairman

    As I said yesterday - he is probably being forced out. He holds a significant shares position and either the shareholder agreement will have a calculation on what price SISU can overtake his shares (and that will not be at the initial cost) or he will have to leave his shares at the club without...

    Ranson and Facebook rumours

    There are two ways of resigning. You either resign by own free will - OR - you resign because you are told to. If there's any truth to this rumor, I would suggest RR is being forced to resign by a SISU that does not appreciate a chairman that who deliver what he is installed to deliver: Results...

    admin looms?

    There's no smoke whitout fire ... or is there? All the rumors, threads on various forums, speculations in the papers about the club going into administration on Friday or next week or ... surely ... before new moon. All that smoke must come from a real fire. Well, it may be true or it may...

    Right, so who's joined from GMK then?

    Oh there you all are! How could you just leave me like that? In the dark? With nobody to talk to? I felt so alone! Now I won't tell you where you can get free beers before the Watford game! That'll teach you! Anyway ... FOUND YOU! :wave:
