He talks of increased revenues from the move to the Butts that will put us on another level, could he tell us what and where these revenue levels will come from.
I want us out of the Ricoh but tell us where and how this income will come from a 12000 seater stadium.
Just answer the question Fisher

I'm no accountant but it doesn't add up.
Same as when he says we got the recruitment wrong, what are we going to do different? We all know we got it wrong but tell us how you're going to put things right.

Can't believe he wasn't pressed on ticket priorities for the Irish and Welsh supporters clubs!

Seriously though, it's just stock answers that he's giving out, a well rehearsed show.

Made a big point about SISU providing backstop funding, yet it's been published we've been reliant on a bank overdraft and two interest bearing loans over the last year.

The FL fell for it before; why wouldn't they a second time?

Not just the revenue though is it rev. He needs to detail the costs associated with the income streams. The club can only spend the net amount on the team

He also needs to show that overheads like rent, repairs, insurance etc will all show savings by the move.

It would seem there will be no extra interest as Ccfc will not own anything at the BPA except perhaps a lease that will have a rent set to give the investors a return and repay capital.

All sounds very familiar but on a smaller scale

I have to say I was a bit shocked watching that video. Fisher looks as though this is all too much for him and is basically talking things up because the club and SISU are on the back foot with everyone - the council, Wasps and Coventry Rugby. The one positive is there is some recognition (albeit with the threat of legals) of the serious amount of sh1t the club is in. I'm not convinced that moving to BPA will provide any level of solution.

It's clearly apparent to me that Fisher and SISU are starting to reap what they have sown for 9 years. I'm disappointed that the interviewer didn't press Fisher on the proper setup of the club and point out that they have had nine years to do this so what has been going on for that time?

I wonder whether he might be on his way out and relegation is the push point? He and Seppala have monumentally screwed up. He'll be out long before she is.

Why is he even on Sky? Why did he agree to come to the Trust meeting last week?

He's had ages to pop up and spin his bullshit, so what's in the pipeline that he needs to show his face now?

The first time Tim Fisher used the phrase that he was focusing people's minds was in 2012.....

Responding to claims the club is deliberately in breach of its contract, Mr Fisher said: “If this is what it takes to focus people’s minds to ensure that the football club and the Ricoh Arena both move to a mutually beneficial position – then I will do it."

He was then focusing people's minds again 2013.

It's seems the Council and Higgs said "oh contraire" back then.

It seems we are back in Groundhog Day unfortunately.

I think it will be the Council and Wasps saying 'Oh contraire' this time round.
One day someone will be brought into SISU with the full power to make decisions who understands that there are different forms of negotiation. One is threats and power. If that doesn't work the other is charm and bribery.

He went to the same finishing school as Alistair Campbell, Blair's spin doctor.
He exhibits the same hubristic traits of someone who suffers from manic depression. Tragic.

Don't Manic deppressives deviate between huge highs and lows.
We just seem to get the lows.

Typically yes, but there is a huge spectrum of suffering. Usually personality and 'illness' are unrelated but I'd be prepared to make an exception in that mask for a face.
