I'm fairly sure for those getting fatigued by this thread, that when / if some actual fact based news comes out, there will be 7 new threads made on it.

10,000 odd posts in 44 days is pretty impressive.

Maybe we should incorporate your avatar into the club's badge.

When a mummy and a daddy love each other they do a special hug and that makes a baby go into the mummy's tummy.

"He’s been our best manager in my lifetime because I don’t think Robins is a yes man, I don’t think he’s the sort that would toe the company line as it were that Ashley would want him to do.”

I'm not sure why he has this strong opinion.

I'm not saying MR is a "yes man" but he has tolerated the owners and been very pragmatic about their support or lack of it.

I'm not sure you can trust a man that gave Alan Pardew a 7 year contract but if he does step in his ambition must be the premier league...

After that I'm out of opinion.

It was more the fact that they could have just interviewed one of SBT. They could do it every week, there's enough! Nobody is a "fan pundit" as they labelled this latest icon-you are just a fan like the rest of us mate!

‘while Ashley is also in talks with Coventry City Council about adding another hotel and car park.’

How on earth has he managed that when Reeves was adamant that he didn’t know who the preferential bidder was

Can you not see how his acquisition of the Arena will considerably change the direction of any negotiations for all concerned parties, not least SISU.
If he gets the Arena, they are finished here IMHO.

I know we're Coventry City and we expect everything to go wrong, but.....

I know I'm not far away from being alone on here that Ashley is after both ground and club. But we need to look at the facts.

ACL in administration. Full price wanted won't be paid. Bondholders will take a haircut. Most if not all present Bondholders will come out of this shitstorm making a profit overall if say 25m is offered.

Player value 15m +? 35m to SISU plus a bit more when we reach the Prem? So for an initial investment of approximately 60m he would purchase a lot of real estate that would be a single promotion away from being paid for and a massive profit on top. Free Sports Direct advertising all over the ground. And when the current deal with CBS is over it then becomes the Sports Direct Arena?

SISU? Their long term plan of getting the arena on the cheap would be gone. Time to cash out any profit they can? If we took another relegation they would never get another decent offer. And they don't seem willing to put any more money in. As Fisher said being in the Championship isn't financially viable. And for once they have gone very quiet. We haven't even heard of us building our own new stadium like we normally do when stadium ownership comes into the spotlight.

CCC? They would be delighted to bring in someone who could take over the arena and dispose of SISU. Plus make other investments worth countless millions to the local economy.

Yes those we have that are ITK only know what they hear. They don't hear everything.

All I would ask would be for Robins to be given a few quid to see what he could do. 9 points off 6th with 3 games in hand. 13 points off a very ordinary side in 2nd place we just beat with the same 3 games in hand. W4 D1 L1 in last 6 games.

And you say every other man before him trying to buy us. Has there ever been a serious bid for a decent amount previously? Someone who could afford to bring club and arena together and take the money out of the petty cash allowance? Someone who has experience on running a football club?
