I do not have a wife, I'm 22 thats the last thing I need.
That is what I thought as well with regards to him contacting me, I thought he was going to be ringing others as well
to be fair, you sent dan an email asking him to forward the email to SISU.. dan being the 5 star employee that he is, duly carried out your request.. at which point Tim Fisher had two choices, totally ignore your email , or reply to it.. so he got on the phone to respond
so i guess the question should actually be, did anyone else send an additional follow up email, asking for their email to be forwarded on .. and then not receive a call from Timothy ?
'Usual suspects'
On for four corners!
I f he gives you a choose to take either the Red pill or Blue pill, take the Blue
I imagine he's contacted quite a few then but still Early in the day for everyone to see this thread.
A question you could ask him from me, "how will the JSB membership work if we move ground" ? Cheers.
I heard he dived in at the back post..
I answered that I would not attend
When they asked why I would not, I said because they are not trying to find an alternative within the city, if you take Coventry City out of the Coventry then it no longer is Coventry (if that makes sense) if you were to do this then I think you are a disgrace but i would also think the football league are an even bigger disgrace for allowing you to move from the city.
In regards to what could change my mind I simply answered with "nothing"
I have been a member on here for a couple of years, whilst I was at uni studying Journalism I used to do blog posts on the city and post them up on here and got some real good feedback, I view the forum every day but just for some reason i do not post so much anymore.
What did you answer Don if you do not mind me asking?
Taking Coventry out of Coventry and Warwickshire makes it no longer Coventry.
Unfortunately you have broken the fans trust on so many occasions that to ask them to back you to move their club possibly 20-40 miles away on the promise that you are building another stadium in a city that doesn't need one beggars belief.
The only way you could win back fans trust would be to go ahead with purchasing half of ACL and proving to the council over several years that bringing success and stability to the football club is part of your long term exit strategy.
Only then could I imagine that the council would begin to regain trust and possibly relinquish their share. Then you could sell the whole package.
You must stop insulting the fans intelligence with the concept of a unviable new stadium option. Unless you pay 15 million up front towards its development. If you were to do that you may as well buy ACL.
( it was words to that effect)
Glad he rang you. Maybe it was as a result of the email as oppose to answering the survey.
Whatever his intentions I respect him phoning people.
I take it he didn't convince you of his plan?
He has not told me his plan. I had a miss call on my phone rang back and asked who it was and he said its Tim Fisher, I said yeah course mate who is it really, turns out it was him, said he read my email could he meet me, I said yes and if everything goes to plan I should be meeting him for coffee as he suggested a week on saturday. do not know where though yet but said he will answer all my questions and he wants to apologise

Fair play, meet him.
Make the most of it and come prepared with a few questions written down so you don't waste the chance.
Make sure he buys the coffee and don't tell us where the meeting is beforehand
If he says he'll pay for coffee, ask him what the terms are.
I heard he used his hand
But someone else said he used his head and that it was a gaping goal mouth scramble
You could ask:
- Please explain in detail what in your opinion the owners, past boards and the current board have done wrong the past 5½ years.
- Did you, the board or sisu plan - either alone or jointly with members of the council - to distress ACL?
- Did the club ask ACL for a rent reduction prior to going on rent strike?
- Why don't you sign up on SBT forum and have an ongoing direct dialog with the fans ... like PWKH from ACL?
- Was relegation to League 1 intentional?
- Is Joy Seppala acting hands on as a director at the club?
- You said last summer that a large part of all debts to the sisu funds had been written off - can you confirm it has actually happened?
- Will it be possible to ask questions at the upcoming forum - and if so, will they have to be revealed to you in advance so you can cherry pick between them?
No different from the Hoff getting in touch with Lord, is it?
No point in asking any questions to be honest Danny, you can't believe a word the bloke saysl
Suspect if you want questions asked PM them as any old person can see them on here and give a nudge to TF.
true, but I suspect he knows what's coming anyway!
Stand him up. If he calls you back complaining that you had an agreement to meet up, enjoy the moment.
Questions about moving ground are not relevant, the fan base does not want to move.. ask him why he is going against the wishes of the ticket buyers who they need to finance the club weekly.. sheer stupidity..
That wouldn't solve any problems would it? If a load of fans turned up to a private meeting then no questions are going to be answered. Truthfully or notArrange a time and place and let us all know. I'm sure he'd welcome us all turning up for a little chatimp:
Can you ask Timmy what he meant when he stated that the club has 'no debt'?
http://www.coventrycity-mad.co.uk/news/tmnw/we_have_no_debts__fisher_757433/index.shtml
My interpretation of 'no debt' was that with regards 'debt', we had 'none'.
Whereas it appears in a parallel universe it means 'a lot of it'
He graduated from the same accounting school as Ray Ranson, with other famous alumni such as Fred Goodwin and Kerry Katona.
I didn't read the full Telegraph article this afternoon after the news broke about no news, but sure I saw something about Appleton having 6 months to look into the dealings of past and present directors, including Messrs Ranson, Hofman and Elliott.
Should make interesting reading that one. I was (mistakenly) a fan of Ranson so it'll be interesting to see how wrong I was. Not only that, it'll be interesting to see the findings into GH and JE and how that might affect fans perceptions of a Haskell takeover bid....
