The last line almost made me wet my pants. Excited about this guy talking very matter of factly about a realistic business idea. Great find!!

AFCCOVENTRY · May 28, 2013

That last line is something!
:claping hands::claping hands:

deanocity3 · May 28, 2013

he has a business called
Michael Byng project control (china) Ltd
15 Queens Road Cov

ryb1983ccfc · May 28, 2013

Lets just hope and pray ! He sounds very committed to doing the rite thing for club!

AFCCOVENTRY · May 28, 2013

Q: Can you honestly see ccfc playing at ricoh and can you see your party owning ccfc

A: Yes CCFC will be playing at the Ricoh and I can see us owning them in whole or in part

Seems very confident and with 3 major multinational companies backing this with one a big player in the UK and one listed on the NYSE, he may have some serious money backing this. Didn't seemed phased by how much anything would cost and this is peanuts to them.

Is it just me being paranoid because parts of that interview suggested to me that they would be along side sisu?

deanocity3 · May 28, 2013

don't forget almost all their country watch them play footie here last year in the Olympics.So they know about the City of Coventry Stadium.

Covstu · May 28, 2013

so did SISU......

speedie87 · May 28, 2013

i got the impression too.

plus mentioned more than once we would just have a licence to play at the ricoh next year

i took that as they want to own either the freehold or ACL but know that won't be done in time for next season so are happy to play a year on similar terms to the 3 games played at the end of last season.

That is how I understood it - don't want to get excited....but YEEEEEEESSSSSSSSS!!!! come Michael makes us a proud club once again.

mattylad · May 28, 2013

interesting piece and none of the usual spun rubbish (not sure about the wing back chair though!!)

chiefdave · May 28, 2013

there was a fair bit of praise for SISU, wonder if they're doing some ego stroking as they are looking to buy holdings as well?

That's exact what I got from it, end of the day SISU are not going to walk away from the apparent £40M investment so working with these people may be the way forward?

It was his mum's she lived at 8 Highfield Road you know

Skybluerevolution (Pt2) · May 28, 2013

He is a Coventry fan, I am sure he would not want to work with SISU - he is playing the room to make this work, how would it look if he started slating SISU in his first TV interview? He is a professional unfortunately SISU/ACL/CCC could take a left from his book about how you act in public - Good Luck Michael I hope for all of us you manage to pull this it off. PUSB.:blue:

speedie87 · May 28, 2013

has anyone actually ever heard of or seen this guy before today?

SlowerThanPlatt · May 28, 2013

I can't view this for some reason. is there a bbc version of this?

If it's like Leicester we will get live streams for all games

AFCCOVENTRY · May 28, 2013

I think it's more the case he won't upset SISU as he knows he has to negotiate with them down the line to gain full control of the club... however I get the distinct impression by having 3 multinational companies in this bid... he pretty much said money is no object to them and buying ccfc is small fry.

RogerH · May 28, 2013

It sounds as though his investment comes at the price of SISU totally changing the way they operate re CCFC or they would be bought out.
PR wise, SISU would be in the background, can't see them having any input re the stadium after the events of the last year or so. TF looks like being the first casualty (Yes!)
Either that or he is being diplomatic in the hope he can gradually work SISU out ?

I remember him from school although I haven't seen him for years and would have been hard pressed to recognise him. I do recall him as being an honest and very decent sort, so I would say that his approach is genuine but obviously I know nothing of his backers or recent background.

SkyBlueUkeman · May 28, 2013

I don't trust him.

HASKELL OR NO-ONE! USA!

BILLIONAIRE!

Nick · May 28, 2013

Well that would be great. More of a reason for people not to attend games. :facepalm:

I've always thought of the club charged a fiver for away games people can't make they would make money

You mean to stream the games? Like pay per view?

Yep , think of the ex pats

SkyBlueUkeman · May 28, 2013

This Byng bid also involves Paul Fletcher and Mal Brannigan.

No thanks.

SkyBlueBlood · May 28, 2013

The scariest thing to me was not the last words but in the middle where he said;

1. Even SISU had successes over the past 12-18 months..................... that must have been in a parallel universe cos I didn't see any successes
2. Good people who have come in from Charlton Athletic.................... He can't mean Fisher, can he?

I agree. I wouldn't mind paying a couple of quid to watch them. But aren't all 3pm Saturday games illegal to broadcast live?
