As Fans we should raise money between us and purchase our own club! (1 Viewer)

hmmm... do you not remember how close we came to administration, one of the hold-ups being SISU wanting all of the shares... they're not in it for part of the money... it's all or nothing. Also, between us 'whip-rounders' do you think we could either find the massive amount to buy the ricoh stake or continually get £4M together every year... I don't think a community owned CCFC is either possible or workable... the thing I think you have right is investment, until we get revenue in the club it won't be worth anything to anyone; we need someone who can afford the ricoh AND to buy SISU out, because if they can't even afford the wages of loan players, there is absolutely no way they have the ability/willingness to stump up for a massive risk like buying the ground back for a sink-hole of a club. It's a sorry situation. PUSB!

I don't think we get enough in the ground to even have anywhere near enough money if everyone gave £100. At the moment I don't think anyone would give anything to the club.

If we do buy the club can we appoint Richard Keys as chairman?

This week at the Ricoh, ladies get in half price!

as coventry fans we should all donate money, as much as we can to buy sisu out of our club. obviously we wont be able to raise enough with just all us fans putting our money in, but maybe we can look for local business men to invest into the club as well. and as fans appoint someone to be the day to day chairmen. its time we took control of what is rightfully ours.

We have only just managed to raise enough to build a modest statue of Jimmy Hill.

Yeah its just not going to happen. We need big, serious investment. Im not sure who would be willing to. Most would wait for a Leicster, who can be bought cheap after relegation then invested in. Im not sure when we will start to look like an attractive prospect.

It isn't a case of a couple of million investment

It will need the money to buy us and then money to buy the ground etc.

I don't buy into the theory that we'd be more of a bargain in League One personally. We'd be the same club but with even less earning potential (you think gates are low now?)

dont worry guys, if all of us buy a ticket for the euro millions, we could stand a chance of winning it...

... then we can buy the club and stadium!!!
