Obviously, you're trying to deny that names like that are bandied about on here, but they are. It's used fairly regularly.
I think those perceiving that are missing the point, maybe deliberately to try to cause a row. I agree that a big turnout at the Ricoh at the same time as a game in Northampton would be a good way of showing the support is still in Coventry, but I think that all involved in this already know that anyway.
Sorry, what do you mean? We are talking about who is going to buy the club from Sisu.
If you were to put your house on the market would you know who was going to put an offer in on it for Christ sake.
The buyers of your house would be getting...a house. The buyers of Coventry City won't be getting anything apart from a name. That's the problem.

We've been here before. There will always be a buyer for a club of ccfc's stature.
Of course there's a risk there may be no potential buyers but surely in a worst case scenario a consortium of local businesses could take over, fair enough they may not have a lot to put into the club but I'd take being locally owned and sticking to a budget over what we have now.
Maybe...
but why would you expect them to be any different?
Still, we could always start a "New ones OUT!" campaign.
Curious response from AL, when asked in summing up if she could solve the problem AL said "It doesn't look as though its going to be sold very quickly! no!"

No she seemed quite lucid, but her response was interesting because it was a response to an open question (how would the Ricoh problem be solved) - It could be said that her answer implied that the solution would be that the Ricoh would be eventually be sold - but not quickly.Drunk or deaf. Or drunk and deaf.
Has anyone ever wondered who are SISU's actual investors in all this disaster. Makes you wonder if they even know what carnage and misery the hedge fund have caused in the purpose of trying to manipulate a profit for these people and would they themselves really approve such spiteful tactics?
I would imagine that money has come from abroad predominantly, it would be increasingly embarrassing for British investors to live with. It would be great though if they were to be made aware of what is being done with their 'Investment', just maybe they wouldn't approve?! Although the danger of course remains that SISU full of revenge would just pull the plug on the club if funds started drying up.
Maybe so. However, despite Ryton and the other things Noggin rightly mentions there's nothing else to attract anyone, is there? People who can afford to buy football clubs want real estate. Something they can make hard cash with.
ANd yes we have been here before but trying to compare a football club to a house really doesn't work.
Sure but when it comes with real estate it comes with extra cost. If you can buy the club and the real estate separately for a similar or lesser cost than buying a similar club with real estate and there is no reason why you couldn't then there will be lots of people interested.
If Sisu decided to sell at what we are worth we would have no problem finding interested parties and while there is no guarantee of the quality of a new owner there is one thing for certain any new owner would bring us home and thus we are going to be significantly better off whoever buys us.
Of course if sisu try to ask for what they have put in no one will buy us, the club is worth nothing like that amount, realistically there seems to be no possible way for sisu to get their money back without somehow triumphing over the council and acl and getting the ricoh at a pittance.
Reading are on the verge of Takeover for aound £50M. have 3.5 yrs of incoming parachute payments ,own their ground ,hotel,sit in the playoffs in the division above.
Leicester recently bought their "Ground" only for £19M. after paying down around £17M. through a rental/lease arrangement ,so the original investor recouped £35M.
That leaves us worth? With or without real Estate?

Im a big fan of all things SISU out and all that. But the problem with SISU out is who is there that would come in?
and could it put our club into more chaos if SISU did get out??
Im not Sticking up for SISU here.
Im just saying what is plan B cos it scares me to think if more chaos is on the way what is Plan B?
You've all listed all the reasons why Sisu are shit (again) but nobody's actually answered the question. Who would want to buy us?
IMHO better the devil you know!!!!!!!!!!
Yes 3rd division football renting 35 miles away in a third division stadium is is better than........
4th division stadium.
But as someone mentioned earlier, weren't they more interested in the development opportunities around the stadium?
Soon to be redeveloped non league ground.
