".....it can be a constant drip". Is he talking about our Timmy?
If they're not looking to takeover isn't this essentially asking the fans to give SISU £3m? It's all well and good saying they'll give you a season ticket but isn't that then shooting ourselves in the foot. If everyone paid £100 for a season ticket we're going to have big crowds and no money!
Wait, he actually is involved in crowdfunding?
I actually read it as essentially asking the fans to give ACL £3m.
The idea is to pay rent at the Ricoh.
Well I guess you could look at it that way but SISU own the club and should be paying rent for wherever we play. If this chap pays ACL direct or SISU it doesn't make much difference it will be £3m that SISU no longer need to provide.
Simon Gilbert must be the bloke who actually replies to those Nigerian scam emails with his bank details ready.
Doesn't really matter, it's a (non) Kickstarter.
He added: “People will always jump up and say ‘I don’t believe it’, but if the people are with me and we can create the momentum then Sisu will have to listen.”
This is the one boys. We are about to hit the big time. I'm shaking with excitement. Truly a wonderful moment to be a Coventry City fan.
Some hope is better than no hope.
It is more believable than so called bids in the past. Has said not interested in buying club as not interested in the debt. Something like this is needed to stop the stalemate. SISU would be able to bring our club home and save face. Maybe the sort of thing that they have been hoping for. But nothing will happen until after the JR. They will still have hopes of the freehold on their terms. But if it don't happen as most of us expect they will need to do something. And how could they turn down a cheap offer from CCC whilst trying to keep us on their side? They have started to try and get us on their side for the first time since taking our club over.
Everyone knows that building a small cheap stadium outside Coventry will be a disaster. Can they even raise the funds for such a thing?
Thats the million dollar question isnt it, but we are not going to find out until a few weeks after the JR. I think the fact that we have had so many failed, ficticious bids is why everyone of them is taken like this.
I actually read it as essentially this bloke has no idea about the situation whatsoever & just wants to promote his business, which apparently, a bloke down the pub recently told him was worth £10m....
...The only way this could be any more of a farcical non-starter is if Richard Keys starts tweeting about him as the new messiah...
Ooh yes I'd forgotten about him- what's he up to these days?
I'm trying to work out how this stacks up. He gets £3m, but he doesn't want to buy the club?
So, you use some of that £3m to pay rent at the Ricoh, let's say £200k per season for a couple of years, what happens to the remaining £2.5m. If you're not buying SISU out, then are you asking for a stake in Otium? Or are you just giving the rest of the money to the club? Hmmm.
In all honesty, if the JR doesn't go SISU's way then I think you might well be able to buy out what's left of the club for a few million in cash, possibly much less.
In fact, even if the JR does go SISU's way it's still hard to see how they get their hands on ACL or the Ricoh, so either way something will have to give in the next year or so I'd guess. I doubt this particular plan has legs though, unless I'm missing something.
Shaving the back of hands I think, somewhere in the Middle East.

Why haven't ACL met him then? He's "tried". What does that mean? Where's PWKH when you need him?
Maybe something to do with it sounding like a dodgy offer.
Well, that's ACL for you.
Do you honestly think that SISU will walk away from the money they have put into our club though? ATM they will count it as an investment....a very poor one at that.....but walking away cements it as a loss. Can't see it happening myself.
