Hello Hackers -- first visit to SBT ?

Mate, you might notice his post count is 74... he's more of a regular here than us!

Nick · Mar 28, 2011

I am not too sure what I make of the announcement. I am a big cynic though

"Tomorrow's Coventry Telegraph will carry one of the biggest Coventry City stories since they moved to the Ricoh. "

Danny Ireland has recovered from injury in time to take his seat on the bench against Watford on Saturday!

Walking Bird · Mar 28, 2011

Seriously now if the Telegraph story isn't Earth shattering tomorrow we should politely ask the staff at the Telegraph to leave the building before we fire bomb the place!!!!:slap::slap:

rob9872 · Mar 28, 2011

Probably entering admin before the deadline on Weds/Thurs

ccfcway · Mar 28, 2011

just out of curosity, do the telegraph get income through advertising when you look at their website.

I havent bought the paper for about 10 years.

I live in Ireland, but still, I wouldnt buy it when i can look online., so where does their revenue come from ?

Everybody seems so positive, it must just be me and you thinking it won't be all that great!

Pigeon · Mar 28, 2011

I feel anxious that is terrible news like administration but we are due some good news surely? The law of averages and all

rob9872 · Mar 28, 2011

I've learnt with City to expect the worst, hope for the best and take what comes

Surely not though, why would they big it up like this if it was?

2 things about Coventry Fans

Glass half empty
Love to moan, even when winning

Pigeon · Mar 28, 2011

That is true, it would just be cruel to big up bad news lol
Very true Nick we all love a good moan, us city fans
I'm going to be over the moon if it is good news.

olderskyblue · Mar 28, 2011

We've had a lot of "big news" since moving to the Ricoh, so what can be bigger than being taken over once, hiring a new manager, ranson leaving, fletcher leaving etc etc?

Being taken over again wouldnt hack it, unless it's a super billionaire, but we havent done admin yet, so that has to be the most likely doesn't it?

skyblu3sk · Mar 28, 2011

Walking on sunshine and all that

My thought on it as well, who would ever buy the paper again if they did that to you?

And saying stuff along the lines of can't wait till tomorrow... we would all hate their guts

It's a bit like keeping a ring box around and teasing your missus with a "big surprise" then dumping her via facebook.

A couple of times in the past things have been bigged up, so I have gone out of my way to go buy the paper and it was something pap.

They also like to write catchy headlines "Westwood Wants to Stay" when the content of the thread is about Westwood when there is no mention of him wanting to stay...

And quoting Ranson as saying "AB lost the dressing room" when Ranson said no such thing.

I only bought one the other day because they mentioned this place

Lifted from a GMK post

I have not posted here for a longtime but what a mess city have got into...

But things are changing for the good finally here.

1) Foreign investment is coming into CCFC, with the club taking a 50% stake in the RICOH. New directors will be appointed in due course.

2) Foreign group will take full ownership of CCFC in pre-season. SISU will still have a stake in CCFC, but with a direct link into the RICOH stake to recoup their monies. By end of next season 100% ownership is the target.

3) New manager has been identified and will be announced at the end of the season.

4) Finally transfer funds will be available to the new manager to mount a serious attempt to get out of this league.

5) Now, the important bit is that points 2 and 4 will only happen if CCFC stay in the Championship

Hackers, i expected better of you than that. It's a newspaper, and bad news sells more than good news generally, so it wouldn't suprpise me in the slightest. If it is, people will soon forget this build up, and, if you read the words in the twitter account, it could read either way.

(unless it's one of your wind-ups of course)

ccfcway · Mar 28, 2011

just a thought.

would it be anything to do with the Olympics ?

when do they announce the games that will be at the Ricoh ?

It does state Coventry city story so guess it couldn't be the Olympics

OyJimmy · Mar 28, 2011

Just found out what the news is. Coventry have been sold to some American called Ronald Mcdonald. Apparently we will be playing in a new stadium under a couple of arches within the next 12 months.

A rival consortium led by Wimpy's is also putting in a bid...

rob9872 · Mar 28, 2011

Well I'd prefer a new big King deal to a couple of wimpeys!

Sir Digby Chicken Caesar · Mar 28, 2011

Its probably 'Little Chef'

IrishSkyBlue · Mar 28, 2011

hope its investment and loads of money but it be like winning the lotto for us lets hope our numbers come up

OyJimmy · Mar 28, 2011

We will soon find out that major investment is on the way from Japan. Lots development work will be carried out under the pitch and it's hoped that rather than buy any new player's our existing players will mutate into great players. Urgent clarification is now being sort to see how many arms and legs a player is allowed. Also our shirts will go from blue to orange when the players get a bit hot. The new shirts will not cost any more.

Leicester fans will be let in for free so that mutation seems normal.
