Fisher on Talksport (5 Viewers)

[6 Generations]

On any minute now with Jim White in a pre-recorded interview

 

---

[Sky Blue Pete]

Oh dear the headline question is

when are coventry returning to coventry ?

 

[6 Generations]

It is the headline question. You’re correct

 

[LastGarrison]

Sounds ecstatic.

 

[CovInEssex]

What's he say

 

[matesx]

on now......

 

[matesx]

pre recorded

 

[jordan210]

Im worried for Tims health. he sounds out of breath

 

[clint van damme]

Think most of us could have written a transcript of this interview beforehand and got it pretty much spot on.

 

[LastGarrison]

Im worried for Tims health. he sounds out of breath

Yeah didn't sound good.

 

[matesx]

nothing new blah blah blah

Ricoh return depends on a good commercial deal. Says Wasps are keen to strike this.

 

[6 Generations]

Want our own stadium in or near Coventry blah blah

 

[matesx]

Still wants our own stadium..... give me strength

 

[Skybluefaz]

Dare I say it sounds positive

 

[6 Generations]

Owners have always done the right thing for the club!!

Spat my coffee out!!

 

[Mcbean]

One thing amongst the general bla bla was the comment about drinks etc in the Ricoh - seems that’s a different negotiation with current franchise owner - it didn’t go well last time

 

[tom88]

Considering we have just been promoted, he sounds as happy as I did when I found out we were moving to Northampton.

 

[LastGarrison]

The only thing I would say is that if Wasps are pushing for us to go back he certainly made it clear that they're not just prepared to lap up any old deal just to get back to the Ricoh.

Did point to potentially a little bit of a power shift which can only be good for us.

 

[Gynnsthetonic]

There was nothing else he could say, nothing will be announced until deals are confirmed whether that be at the Ricoh or St Andrews.

 

[Magwitch]

He talks about our owners, plural, apart from Joy Sepalla who else is an owner ?

 

[6 Generations]

There was nothing else he could say, nothing will be announced until deals are confirmed whether that be at the Ricoh or St Andrews.

So why do the interview then?

 

[LastGarrison]

So why do the interview then?

Keeps us in the news, get's people talking about us as TalkSport are now etc.

Or just likes the sound of his own voice.

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

Going live now

how did it feel being championship ?

pleased as punch wish we’d done it on the pitch

robins and Vivash

fisher - great job plans put in place and they paid off

Q - twice in the last 8 years you’ve left coventry
A - we are pushing to return and we are hopeful

q - did it cost £1m?

a - not sure that’s correct. Food were close to ricoh when I’m at Andrews

q - is it not financially prudent to get match day deal

A - yes not just rent but other avenues and not just one deal with wasps but also food and beverage. We have the will to get back

q - is it you will do whatever it takes ?
A - real positives from the last few days on what wasps have said about a reasonable commercial deal then he thinks both side win

q - can you tell fans you are working tirelessly to make this deal
A - yes both sides are minded to Getting club Back and based on wasps words of reasonable commercial deal

q - desire to build stadium?
A - always been a wish but unfortunately we couldn’t strike a deal to stay there. Talked about regrettably leaving and we do want a stadium in the coventry area to call our own. Need to own it to progress

q - management done their bit now owners need to their bit. Now time for owners
A - unfair as they have supported management and they know they need stadium

q - not going to win any popularity contest
A - they have always done all they can to support the football club

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

Experts saying we were thrown out due to the owners actions

I suppose he could have answered how much it cost this season. He thinks we had crowds of 10000 lol

Martin keown is excellent mentioned deal not at any costs and this is a great opportunity

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

Fans not happy with fisher or owner on twitter

 

[matesx]

still being discussed now on Talksport

can only be good

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

Vague answers

twitter to a fan says fisher is a politician never answers questions. They’re right

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

Yep it’s still on some facts keown knows his stuff the other two don’t

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

Said crowds of 10-12000 and at ricoh next year will be 25000

mmm

 

[matesx]

Said crowds of 10-12000 and at ricoh next year will be 25000

mmm

certain games will be

more like 15,000 average i would think

 

[oldfiver]

Average gate in Brum 10>12k really?

 

[SkyBlueCharlie9]

Usual crap and mis information on Talk Sport. Martin Keown FFS everything he said was incorrect!!! Glad they are giving us air time but all the bullshit doesn't help the club position. Council and Wasps were barely mentioned. Very frustrating.

 

[oldfiver]

Said crowds of 10-12000 and at ricoh next year will be 25000

mmm

Only for the big games ?

 

[HuckerbyDublinWhelan]

I reckon 10-12k is about right. Especially in the championship, we’ll get some more fans back and the away teams will be bringing at least 2-3k

 

[Liquid Gold]

Who let him out of his box? He's divisive and only going to cause rifts between fans when we should be celebrating. Let Boddy do the media.
