And....returning to the OP... I understand OSB's frustration. I'm tired of all the hooha (computer wants to change that word to "boobs" for some inexplicable reason), but as bashing heads together is not a physically viable option, what can we do? We can support AshbyJan's attempts to get a new...

Raul? According to Wikipedia, the former Real Madrid man is renown for his "technique"...

Dunno about Santa, but the Bogeyman is real BSB. In Finnish culture I believe it sometimes goes by the name Sisu.

Thought that too, did I. :)

I see Chris Kirkland is off to Sheffield Wednesday. He'll be a good signing for them - if he can stay fit! I hope, for his sake, he can finally shake the injury monkey off his back.

Here's a couple of quotes from the CT on June 7 last year, after Sisu finally published the last set of accounts - which showed how CCFC's "turnover fell from 2009, as it struggled with a debt of more than £39 million in 2010." (Odd how we're supposedly losing £500,000 a month according to the...

Have we added in the cost of paying off all these managers we've sacked in the last few years? (a serious query & not an invite to restart Thorn in/out debate again)

They'll be taken over - again - and Appleton will bring in a three-pronged attack of Owen, Heskey and Vassell, in front of a midfield including Hargeaves, Del Piero and Joe Cole with a defence featuring Cuellar and Craig Gordon. They'll run out of money by October, struggle on until to just past...

So, Pompey academy players that weren't good enough for the seniors last month are suddenly good enough this month: http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/18162726

Thanks OSB. Given the "60 days", it doesn't look good for CCFC - though I too struggle to fathom how we're losing £500k per month still given the cut backs.

Forgive me OSB, this means?.... That CCFC is about to be trading insolvently? That you think they won't invest another penny when the three months is up? Or that CCFC ans Sisu are already effectively doing both & the question is why is Sisu continuing to put money into a seemingly bottomless pit?

The CT do sort of credit SBT obliquely " Mr Fisher last week played down the debenture with Arvo – concern over which had been raised by some Coventry City fans on fans’ websites – " They'll be claiming it as the first official news outlet to report it. We have OSB & others to break news to us...

Spot on Rob.

I thought I read somewhere that they weren't losing that much a month any more. But if they are, we're not just screwed, but royally screwed. Glug glug glug. The sound of Sisu's "investment" going down the pan & taking our football club with it! :(

Dongonzalos, it looks like PWKH has given us as much assurance as he can and we will have to look to the council to ensure the stadium does not go down if Sisu does. That being the case, let's hope Cllr Mutton sticks to his words in today's CT: "there would have to be a legal agreement so they...

PWKH, Thank you for the statement. Your openness is greatly appreciated. As I'm sure you are aware, many of us have real fears about what Sisu might do if they got their hands on part of the stadium. Despite the desire to sell, I'm sure the charity are also keen to ensure that the new owners...

I'd add a fourth clause Dongozalos: That the stadium, or Sisu's share of it, may not be mortgaged or used as security on a loan or debt.

And that being so, we should interpret the ARVO move as a defensive precaution, rather than as laying the ground work to liquidation? Against that though Tim Fisher, worryingly, does not give an answer to the liquidation element of questions 2 or 3...

I was interested in this line by Tim Fisher in response to question 2: "Unlike other recent football club administrations, Coventry City’s balance sheet has already been significantly cleaned up which rules out any ‘value’ of the club going in to administration." Could this be a reference to...

If that is today's headline, given the rent fight and CCFC's finances, I wonder if The Tempest and A Midsummer's Night-mare will be appearing on the CT backpage soon...
