Who is Neal Moxey?
Remind who Neil Moxey is again and tell me why has he been on the magic mushrooms?
Okay. Knew the name, didn't quite place who he was.
I think a lot of people do believe ACL have been unreasonable, but this is the first time I have heard the word 'outrageous' used.

Unreasonable, yes. I don't think any of ACL's behaviour has been outrageous though.
Purchasing the rights of match day revenues for £6 million and offering to sell at £24 million?
Also laughed at the clown who told them to get out. Pointed out (as the sensible ones on here do) they want to but no one wants to buy.
Birmingham are for sale at a fraction of our debt and no one wants them.
Can you post this interview, I wanna listen to this!
Interesting to see how quick ACL released statement to press yesterday though. As with all these things we don't have enough detail to make informed opinions but are free to judge I suppose

Anyone know anything about Neil Moxley, is he a sky blues fan?
Thorn sacking is one of many strange decisions by Coventry

There have been some strange decisions at Coventry City over the years.
Selling Highfield Road might have been one. Sacking Eric Black certainly fell into that category.
Current owners SISU handing over their cash to Ray Ranson? Ouch.
Dismissed: Andy Thorn was axed by Coventry after three league draws
And so it was with a resigned air of acceptance that it was business as unusual when news broke on Sunday lunchtime that Andy Thorn had been sacked.
Yes, after an unbeaten start to the season with his heavily-changed squad.
I accept that it must have been gut-wrenching to see a two-goal lead slip away at the Ricoh against Bury, just 24 hours before that decision was made.
Just as I accept it must have been galling to see a hatful of chances go begging at Yeovil.
And I know also that the performance - as admitted on Radio Five afterwards by goalscorer Kevin Kilbane - wasn't up to scratch against Dagenham and Redbridge.
But the good news is that the Sky Blues progressed in the Capital One Cup. And were able to beat Birmingham City on Tuesday night.
Five matches with the same players and undefeated to boot.
At a time when managers, we are told, are accountable through results, Thorn was in credit this season.
The players have been put through their paces in pre-season. Systems have been worked upon.
And with the sacking, all of that goes out of the window.
When Coventry City end their due diligence on their prospective manager, they are likely to have to adapt to the new guy's method of working. He may want to bring in his new players.
Another period of transition and change.
Now, I have no particular support for Thorn. He had a difficult job last year but I'm not convinced that relegation was a natural consequence for Coventry City when the campaign kicked off 12 months ago.
Thorn's record over 57 games was poor. Did it change that much over 60?
However, my problem is this: If you are going to back him during the close-season and allow him to bring in his own players, then surely he needs more than 270 minutes to put his plans into operation?
At this point, I know there will be supporters pointing to Bryan Gunn's sacking at Norwich City and Paul Lambert's subsequent appointment.
New squad: Thorn had several new players to manage
But the Canaries actually had played two matches - winning at Yeovil and then drawing at Exeter before the Scot's arrival was confirmed. Who knows what might have happened had Gunn stayed? And, ergo, had Thorn.
Off-the-field Tim Fisher, Coventry City's de facto chief executive, appears to be heading in the right direction. Negotiations with various parties over the rent, Ricoh Arena ownership issue and the city council are on-going.
But he needs to be mindful of the fact that of the 'big' clubs who have dropped into League One, only Leicester City have made it out at the first time of asking. Leeds United, Nottingham Forest, Charlton Athletic, the two Sheffield clubs - none of those jumped straight back into the Championship.
It is not an easy league to escape.
In fairness, Fisher suggested there were 'other factors' in the statement which followed Thorn's. One day, when the legalities have no doubt been sorted out, we might find the truth.
And, I suppose the point is this: If Coventry do end in the top six - as was the stated aim at the start of the season - then the board's decision will be vindicated.
If not, supporters will point to Thorn's sacking and ask why he wasn't given time.
As possibly we all expected prior to last Sunday's announcement, results will determine all come May next year.

Why are you digging out old articles? Why not comment on what he said today? Because it shows your views to be wide of the mark?
Just glad you so highly respect his view, he seems to have good knowledge. Wrongs wrong I am giving you supportive evidence.
The bloke seems to know what he is talking about.
People are asking who the hell he is.
So what is your strategy for discrediting him then? Because his view is totally the opposite to yours.
Yes he's a fan and season ticket holder.
Top bloke and knows the ins and outs of the club.
He would know who is right or wrong at the moment and acl are helping to ruin our club.
I am sure someone told me he was a fan of a another club
I do not agree with this guy who ever he is.
And here we go. Nice start.
No like I say I rate his work, you are a very paranoid man Torch.
However when I wanted to know more about him I am sure someone said he wasn't a cov fan. That impressed me even more.
BTW Torch you seem to be ignoring a question I have asked you quite a few times.
Where do you see us going with SISU over the next few years.
Squad, stadium, rent. Etc
Our aim to get back to the prem and own our own stadium.
I am not asking if there is an alternative just what you think will happen
