I saw it mentioned previously, so I just said I’d take him and it all kicked on from there

Well it’s the kind of thing he would do - the lease being the prime interest

Well that’s the purpose of the leak

I’m pretty certain wasps rugby club have a 50 year sub lease so it’s actually more likely Ashley would buy them than us

Can’t believe there’s people clamouring for Mike Ashley to come in. The man has a history of hiring woefully unqualified people to top positions just because he likes them, undermining managers that are club legends (Keegan), gets involved with transfers, and has contempt for supporters.

Genuine question - what type of owner would you want? It seems apparent you’re not interested in self-sufficiency, and have mentioned on multiple occasions that you take issue with current owners not investing but equally that there’s little means to grow our turnover. Also seems a sheikh-type takeover wouldn’t be of interest to you due to the dubious source of wealth.

The only money is the stadium and wasps RFC I think will have to be taken as tenants for 50 years

Well ideally the Brentford owner I guess. Someone who is rich and only interested in the club

That’s fair - kinda comes full circle to my initial question on Overson. Unfortunately it seems we ain’t blessed with a stupid-rich fan (leaving Dale Evans aside).

Who says it's to make money? There are times such assets are there to reduce your liabilities.

Let’s be honest, there aren’t many ‘nice’ rich people/entities in football.

Oligarchs with questionable ties to sovereign states/dictators with poor human rights records… or profiteering capitalists. There aren’t many ‘white knights’ knocking about.

Yes I seem to remember him saying something about the club as a whole and trying to move it forward. Can't really remember what though and have been trying to find it

The owner (Joy Seppala) has been really good, because she's still trying to get more investment to get me a little bit more money to spend in different areas. And that's fantastic.

"Look, there's no promises there, but the fact they're trying to do it and move it forward is a sign of where we're trying to get to.

"We have to get to a point where we can have that investment and I know the desire is there to do so, so hopefully we can get that moved forward and when we do that will make a huge difference to Coventry City Football Club and everyone concerned.”

Robins says he owes it to Coventry City fans to be loyal

Ideal world SISU do go and we get a Brentford/Middlesbrough type owner, but unfortunately unless we have a secret millionaire fan, or one of us wins the lottery it isn’t happening.

There’s plenty to be frustrated with SISU about, but it’s also fair to say a lot less in recent years. They’ve learnt and are improving, and as such we have as a football team and a club.

They now need to step up again now to support MR.

Are they perfect owners? Absolutely not. But it might well be a case of better the devil you know.

Also, there’s a part of me which is reluctant to have some billionaire owner. Not sure I want to be a Chelsea or a Man City really. With thousands of new fans who have no idea who we are.

Pisses me off now when someone new sits near me at the CBS and starts slagging players off after a few minutes, or using the always ridiculous ‘forward’ style comments. Not sure how I’ll cope with a stadium half full of them.

Natural and organic progression is what we want.

**I get more fans is great for the club really. And I know it’s completely wrong thought process, but it does frustrate me. Where were you when we were in L2?
