Fair enough.

So it should be dismissed because you don't like the bloke basically.

Give what up? All I've pointed out is there is different versions of why the Manhattan deal collapsed from two different directors at the club who were present at the time. I've not said anything factually incorrect, I've not claimed one to be right and one to be wrong, I've admited I don't know...

I was talking about the Manhattan offer in the post you replied to. That's all I've been talking about. Couldn't comment on the Shapiro offer as I don't recall to much about it, if anything.

Well at least you admit that they're opinions not fact which is start and all I've actually said. Glad to see you agree with me. Why is it absurd to compare Elliot's opinion with Fletcher's? He was a director when he said it, I'm sure he had insight on what happened and why. Without the benefit...

If CCC went back on their word and grabbed 100% of the Ricoh instead of splitting it with us how did we sell 50% to Higgs?

I'm not denying anything you numpty. All I've pointed out is you have one director saying the takeover fell through because Manhattan couldn't make a deal for the Ricoh and another saying it was because of interest rates in America and the unstable currency between the US and UK. I've said I...

You're asking to guess what he meant. I don't know the details of what was on the table. Do you? The devil is in the details and we don't know them, he hasn't stated them, he's just made an ambiguous remark with no detail, you've took it to mean what you want it to mean, I've said you need to...

Like I said, you'd need to see the terms offered by both parties to know that. Not likely but for all you know Manhattan could have offered 50p. Does that mean the council scared them off because they wouldn't except that offer? Do you know for a fact what either Manhattan or Shapiro or anyone...

Manhattan didn't buy the club though did they and his comments weren't made until the deal collapsed. So using your own logic he didn't say it to suck up to whoever was going to buy the club because they wasn't going to buy the club. Who were the "another group"?

It's clear he says that they couldn't agree terms. You'd need to know what the terms on the table was to determine who's fault that is. If the council wanted a gazillion pounds for their shares (gazillion is an exaggeration but you get my point) then the councils terms are unreasonable and they...

So Elliott says one thing and Fletcher says another. Clear as mud then. Fletcher seems to be saying that they couldn't agree terms not that the council wouldn't sell. Anybody know what the proposed terms were?

Thanks Dave. I'll have a read when I get ten minutes spare.

Because as I said earlier I've looked and can't find anything other than them pulling out because of interest rates and exchange rates if that's ok with the link police. Can you not find a link to it either?

Do you have a link to the full interview Dave? I'd be interested in reading it/them.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/c/coventry_city/7033426.stm Only story I can find online regarding Manhattan pulling out sights interest rates and exchange rates. Interest rates is interesting, isn't this about the same time the credit crunch hit due to toxic debt in the US...

I thought Manhattan pulled out due to finances? Seem to remember the exchange rate from dollars to pounds (or vice versa) being something to do with it. Of course if someone else has a link to something completely different I'm happy to be proved wrong. Only going by memory and it was the best...

Oh dear. Would I not play along with you're leading questions so you've had to result to plan B, personal attacks. Seriously, if you don't know what the protests, boycott etc. was over read up. It's well documented from a number of sources. Local papers covered the marches extensively, the...

So you don't know what the protests etc. were about. That explains alot.

Are you pretending to be stupid or are we to believe that you don't know what the protests, petition and boycott of Sixfields were about?
