    Match Thread Middlesbrough (A) Match Thread

    We always look so small once we get into the opponent's box - would love to have someone that could bully the defence a bit and get on the end of crosses, but I don't think we have anyone with that ability in the squad. It's almost pointless getting to the byline, the only play with a chance is...

    ...for 2 years plus a 2 year extension?

    I don't know that we have a right to know, but it would certainly be nice to see which side had caved significantly and whether the club are indeed getting their pie money etc. I really hope that ACL got a watertight contract that guarantees that Sisu can't just walk away again; it makes me...

    Pressley - on the edge?

    Nooo - don't discourage him by asking for evidence, RFC's posts always cheer me up.

    JR Decision Appeal ?

    To be fair to Sisu, the original request for the JR was denied with a lot of people on this forum (including myself) thinking they had no hope of winning an appeal - yet they did.

    Plus ça Change: The High Court Damning Of Coventry City

    The only one that will make any difference IMO - or more specifically, publically targeting any investors. Many won't care of course, but there could be a few that would be averse to any negative publicity.

    Fascinating interview

    The biggest reason why the supporters are split is that there isn't a single entity responsible for the mess. Give us a single target and we will pull together - but I'm afraid that means Sisu selling up or building their stadium.

    Reasons not to push for an independent mediator and/or arbitrator

    As others have said, because CCC/ACL/AHT/whoever may not want to sell. AHT have already stated that they are happy to treat their investment as "charitable"; what would be the point of entering binding arbitration if they have already decided they don't want to sell for less than 6.5 million...

    Higgs vs CCFC Court Row

    A couple of questions: 1) if HT win, do they automatically get costs awarded? 2) it seems a bit suspicious that Sisu's costs are precisely 10 times as much as HT's claim ... is there a multiplier cap on a countersuit? Does the countersuit amount actually mean anything at all? (ie would they...

    New Name/Colour

    Never is a long time. If they are unable to find / fund a suitable ground in the Coventry area, I could quite easily see the FL allowing them to keep the golden share on condition that the club name reflect their new location. However I don't see Sisu doing that voluntarily - it would be on a...

    Northampton game off

    Odd thread to generate so much comment - don't all games have 2 teams playing on the same pitch?

    52 goals

    I was calculating goals per game last week, meant to post it but couldn't get it to format. Taking goals for and against into account, City averaged exactly 4 which was tops for all English teams .... Man City were second at 3.91 I think, and nobody else was close.

    Aha - get the freehold and they can build the new stadium NEXT TO THE RICOH! Problem solved, everyone happy ...

    Private Eye...silence

    Well, they bought the club ~5 minutes before it would have been put into administration .... not sure if anyone outside of Sisu knows how long they spent looking at the books before making an offer. Frankly if they made a blind offer without knowing what they were getting in to, then they...

    Lowest Ever Coventry City Attendance?

    I hoped it wouldn't come to that ..... but in reality it was always somewhat likely. Regardless of why the club was so far from breaking even, I don't think anyone seriously disagrees that the rent/revenue situation was going to be realistic on a long-term basis. Given that ACL didn't...

    Lowest Ever Coventry City Attendance?

    Same can be applied to anything. Let's give it a try: Plans well advanced now and if the 'I' s & T 's' are dotted & crossed on the Ricoh deal, would expect an announcement shortly! Plans well advanced now and if the 'I' s & T 's' are dotted & crossed on the Messi deal, would expect an...

    This plan might work but......

    I've come to the conclusion that there are only two ways this can end on a good note .... either Sisu build their stadium close to or in Cov and then invest to get us promoted (neither of which I can see happening), or we find out which pension funds are investing in Sisu and put public pressure...

    Will people ever be happy as long a SISU are still here?

    I'm not sure why anyone thinks Sisu would sell the Ricoh and the club together if they got hold of it. They claim they have invested 60 million in the club and Joy wants a return on her investment ..... even if they got the Ricoh for free they still couldn't break even, and who would buy it at...

    Byng bong.. warning a fault has been detected. Pull over.....

    Odds of Sisu selling the club and stadium to Byng within 3 months of purchasing it (if that were to happen)? Everything he says makes be believe that they have already spoken about it. Sisu would get a return out of what must seem like a nightmare investment so far, and Byng would be the...
