Well, you generally have to go see him when there's something wrong with your car.

I spoke with him at Chesterfield and he said " no progress, no new news and nothing likely in next few months"
Take from that what you will !!

Oooh, goody - this is my second favourite pointless argument that goes on and on repeating the same words ad infinitum.

Can someone please write that SISU make a fortune out of the club now and I will be complete.

No one will commit till end of season.. I'm expecting ground rent negotiations with Wasps to go on through the Summer.

I think they would rather pass it over to Fisher on a plate than take money of anyone who would take over with good intentions for the club. Such is their disdain for the club, it's supporters and the city of coventry as a whole. Any outfit with an ounce of common sense would have snapped Hoffmann hands of by now.

Why wouldn't they would be a more apt question. Everything they do seems to be based on spite or revenge and ultimately be fruitless and costly to themselves. Why would relinquishing control of the club be any different?

Well, various respected parties on here have raised doubts about the extent of the offer...

But we've been there, done that. Personally I find silence to be a good thing, rather than going round telling every bugger what you want to do...

Can we please just concentrate on the football for the time being and park the speculation.
(Of course if we lose more matches then it's all SISU's fault!)

I suppose Elliot and his merry band of consortium-eers are the absolute antidote to our rotten plummet, if or when they grapple the club from Joy's steely grip. 'If' is the most likely of the two...

It's an odd stalemate: Joy holds the club to ransom even though it's without any real value, and Elliot is keen to get in and do a job, but won't be left penniless. Joy knows he wants the club, the toxic shithouse that she is...

One of the problems with the current owners is their remoteness and secrecy. It is very hard to see how the club can be prised away from them. I cannot for the life of me see why Fisher, knowing what a basket case the club is and also knowing the intense dislike and mistrust that supporters have for him, would want to own this club. However, if he did own the club would it not be easier to put pressure on him to sell to someone who cares about the club than it is trying to deal with Sisu? As an interim move to try and get the club back in safe hands it might actually be a good thing.Would he pass the fit and proper person's test?

Couldn't be worse than Sisu themselves(could he?). Given his track record so far I wouldn't expect too many improvements.

I could always create one about Joe Dhinsa and his attention seeking exploits 10 years ago?

Wonder how many threatening replies that would generate...

Even if we end up playing home matches in his back yard, I'd kiss his face a bit.

Not sure anymore. Many seem to have lost the will / interest in it.
