    Coventry United - is it time to get behind them?

    I don't think they have described themselves as a protest club, that's just a Telegraph description. They have stated this "The name United was chosen as a term used to "Unite" the city of Coventry. If CCFC is destroyed, liquidated or permanently removed from Coventry then we the committee of...

    A few questions for PWKH

    IEC is a seperate company (Co.no. 08039699), and has its own accounts, but the figures will be included in the ACL figures that were published, and were posted on here. The figures (some of them) for IEC to 31.5.13 (I think the trading period was slightly longer than 12 months since...

    Which is the best team goal ever?

    A lovely goal, slightly tarnished by the hair cut of the goalscorer, but it's good to know we've got some decent players coming through.

    A few questions for PWKH

    I wasn't trying to establish blame, I was suggesting an answer as to why the former Casino wouldn't have to pay out the whole lease as a penalty, and I think it may be due to them being bought out, and replaced, by another Casino.

    A few questions for PWKH

    The Ricoh sponsorship has already been extended, now to 2025. http://www.coventryobserver.co.uk/2012/04/19/news-No-gripes-with-Olympic-name-snub,-insist-Ricoh-36478.html

    A few questions for PWKH

    Because they were replaced by a business that took on the existing terms I'd imagine, maybe there was a penalty, but I haven't seen anything to suggest a value. The CCFC arrangement appears different in that there wasn't a replacement coming in on the same terms.

    A few questions for PWKH

    The link isn't the easiest to read, but it doesn't read to me that the money went to ACL, it reads that Rank had to take over the lease commitments as part of the purchase. So you wouldn't see the money in ACL's accounts any differently than before, and it follows that a cash injection didn't...

    Thanks for posting that. So they seem to want SISU to buy the stadium, ACL will still have the lease, so isn't it rather pointless? Surely it would only provide SISU with an exit strategy if they bought the freehold for less than it's worth, but Rob has said SISU should pay a fair price. I...

    We don't know what Rob is campaigning for do we? Is it the Ricoh or ACL or both? We know that owning the Ricoh won't give the club any money, so presumably it's ACL, but if so they will need the Higgs shares. I think there was a recent court case about that deal.

    Because it's leading people to think one thing, and then it turns out not to be the case. Some people find that sort of thing annoying.

    Coventry City Supporters FC

    No there isn't, it's a thread about Richard Shaw's goal being better than Alberto's. How dare you.

    I don't think anyone is suggesting that the club will buy ACL/Ricoh. The club will carry on paying rent to whoever owns it, unless Fisher decides (on his own) not to pay of course.

    He was popular because he was reporting from the court case, and from what I recall he was relaying info that was true. It doesn't bother me particularly if he wants to pursue this election bid, but I'd rather know whether what he's saying can be backed up, and I would think any prospective...

    I really doubt there is support for this, but the next few days and weeks will confirm it one way or the other. I'm surprised you don't think he should clear up the situation as to whether he's lying or not.

    There could be an innocent explanation for this, maybe he's relying on information given to him that was wrong, but it's not looking good for Rob at the moment. He needs to clear up exactly where his info has come from, and how these inconsistencies have arisen. I think it would be fair to...

    Rob - After this from PWKH please could you go back over the things you've said in the last couple of days and just clarify which bits are true. Thanks.

    We still need one win ...

    Over the last ten games we are 15th in the form table, over the last six 16th. So although it does seem bad, others are even worse. Not sure that should make anyone feel better though. http://www.soccerstats.com/formtable.asp?league=england3

    I suppose it keeps the fans arguing amongst themselves rather than keeping constant pressure on SISU.
