It's a great pity that we haven't got one now.
It's a great pity that we haven't got one now.CCFC problems require a fully committed Board of Directors going forward
Don't worry I'm from Hillfields.
Personally I am glad to see you back on here.
Please don't get dragged down into the mire of crap Nick, Grendel and a tiny minority of others will throw at you.
It always better to have people on here who may have connections with any party involved in this saga.
It was good when PWKH used to post quite openly and honestly on here.
It would be great to have Tim Fisher on here and Les Reid.
As I say childish crap will fly your way. It would be good if you can rise above it and stay on here so when stories like this break. We may find out some more about it.
Can never really work out why people want to cut of their nose to spite their face on here and hound out those who have decent contacts or a good insight on events
Beat me to it.I was with you until the second half of this sentence
The one hundreds of people were talking about, and being misled by, that we clarified?

Still having the " minutes from extinction garbage " we may have been close to administration , but never close to winding up.
Had sisu not signed , we would have taken a points hit and eventually been bought by someone else.
I have seen what "business genius's " have done for our club and would feel more confident in Elliott and Hoffman.Some of us were wise before the event too, but were shouted down at the altar of good business sense... the evidence was out there (a lot more than it is now) that could have predicted absolute carnage if their investment didn't come off.
Elliott's judgement is shocking, his ability to spot a person with the best interests of CCFC at heart has been proven to be flawed time and time and time again.
Fine, he cares... but so does everybody who posts on here, and most of us you wouldn't let near the CCFC boardroom.
Yet we've failed a damned site less than Elliott, in such a capacity.
Administration had been coming for years, we shouldn't have tried to avoid it.
We should've gone bust in 2003. However fans and local media towed the club line that the council and Higgs must bail the club out with the Ricoh.
That was the defining point in the clubs decline.
I'm afraid fans and local media must take a look at themselves for that.
We could've gone bust owning a share in the Ricoh project with no points deduction (as I think that rule hadn't been introduced at that point).
The club made us believe that selling our share in the Ricoh to stave off administration was for the best. In actual fact it was the worst thing to do for the club. The only people it helped was Robinson and McGuinity.

Mike Bray isn't here anymore to hang on your every wordJust popped on to say hello.
Starting to remember quickly why I left.

With hindsight though , I doubt we would be where we are had the clock stopped ticking.At the time Administration and the points deduction was our worst nightmare.
Looking back after taking the SBTalk finance course it was the best option.
The robbing bastard put my premium up 33% last year, some solidarity with ccfc fansCEO of Hastings Insurance last time I checked.
Its always good to have different opinions and views.
The problem on here is that certain people don`t entertain opinions that disagree with their own.
I have seen what "business genius's " have done for our club and would feel more confident in Elliott and Hoffman.
His views on SISU:I have met them both, very nice guys and very high calibre. I was massively impressed with them
SISU have done a tremendous job in funding the club. They are very supportive in any way they can
His views on McGinnity (note, the board Elliott was on as we finally waved goodbye to any hope of owning our own ground, be it HR or the Ricoh:COVENTRY CITY shareholders have been sent a stark warning that the threat of administration is far from over yet.
Out-going chairman Joe Elliott has sent a letter to the last remaining shareholders asking them to give up their shares as a matter of urgency to ensure the club's takeover by Ray Ranson and SISU Capital can go through
...
"I have written to all shareholders to remind them how important this is on deciding the future of the football club," said Elliott.
"At this moment we are either on the launch pad for success or we can hover on the brink of disaster.
His views on the football club's home:I am delighted Mike McGinnity is to take over. He is a grand chap
For me, the most important thing is Coventry City Football Club and secondly the home it plays in... So we have got to look at the football club first to ensure its existence
Point 1. I would be pretty mad if it's true that he/family got death threats.The guy who posted the pictures on the Facebook group originally has now gone into meltdown.
He is saying he is waiting for the Police as Gilbert used his name without permission, and apparently someone sent a threat to his kids or something as a result of the rumour posted.
Point one is ironic as he posted pictures of other people without permission, point two is no alright whatsoever, but getting the Police involved on both counts is ridiculously over the top. This guy has just lost a lot of credibility for me.

Common sense approach Dongonzalos, I too feel that we should be welcoming Simon's presence on here.Personally I am glad to see you back on here.

Yeah, gross incompetence is fine as long as it's perceived that you're doing your best.Joe Elliot has faults as we all do but his heart is in the right place. We all know it maybe a rumour but that's what we need just a little bit of hope
A point that I have stated before. It had little to do with anything except safeguarding the monies owed to board members.Administration had been coming for years, we shouldn't have tried to avoid it.
We should've gone bust in 2003. However fans and local media towed the club line that the council and Higgs must bail the club out with the Ricoh.

And me well the outskirts till I was 10 my god that was a long time ago.And me !

The points deduction thing was broyght in because of Leicester don't remember if that was before or aftwrAdministration had been coming for years, we shouldn't have tried to avoid it.

Here did Brett's go or did they go bust?Bretts Stamping Works and the Laundry out the back and the buses returning to the depot at the front - not the quietest place to live
A decent insight maybe , but without the secret diaries of B Richardson, Paul Fletcher and the ccc members of the time (who passed the deal by one vote) , without the truth behind just how a London rugby team parachuted in and took control of a city asset , without the likes of Lucas and Mutton being given a truth serum , all we have is background noise.Common sense approach Dongonzalos, I too feel that we should be welcoming Simon's presence on here.
I read the Coventry Telegraph on line and don't understand the vitriol aimed at it and Simon.
I have read his book and found it a decent insight in to events over a long period and with the input of the protagonists.
You miss me. I know you do.

Point 2. Do you need permission to post photos of people in public?
