I'm not taking the piss by the way, just genuinely think I've got early-onset Alzheimer's or something. Atrocious memory.

Can we have another one of those amusing "worst haircut" articles? Always well researched.

Nothing has been "found" though has it? It's all speculation. At the moment. Not that it couldn't be true of course.

Speculation about a deal we revealed I might add. But apparently that doesn't count as having "found" something?

We're simply not in the business of parroting people. If we can't stand it up, we don't print it. At least without making absolutely clear it's speculation.

We don't claim to know everything, or always know it first. We simply don't have the resources or time to be able to. But we do try our best. And I do try my hardest to bring you as much information as I can as quickly and clearly as I can.

And hey, sometimes I might even make the odd mistake. But if I do, it's an honest one.

But I appreciate the fact many of you read my stories, and I hope I can encourage you to keep doing so by performing my job to the best of my ability.

Speak to our digital content guys. I don't write them. I can put a word in though!

Snappy editing.

 

[sky blue john]

Yep, they really are.

Wasn't the only worry about closing it the PR side?

Did the academy actually get closed ?

This bunch of chancers were the first scam artists at it.

No, can onlu assume that Sisu overruled them, or they forgot to do it whilst stilla rguing where the best seats for them to eat their meals were at The Ricoh.

 

[Nonleagueherewecome]

Snap, exactly my point of view.

Is that why you're a constant critic of whoever is opposed to them in virtually any given situation? Sorry, I don't believe you and refer you to the reply I gave to CCFC. You shouldn't be ashamed to be honest about your opinions

 

[Frisky blue]

Like him or not, he's covered more of this story and in more depth than anyone else out there. And I don't see anyone else breaking news about who the hell is behind this bid.

reid is a c@@t mate. A c@@t with his own agenda, and that agenda is not the well being of Coventry City.

What, and your agenda is? Correct me if I'm wrong, but you seem somewhat indifferent to the prospect that the city council may vote through a deal that closes the door on the prospect of CCFC ever owning the stadium that was built for it. How is that for the 'well being' of CCFC?

What is your agenda? has the pr budget dried up so it is back to diy

At least the pros didn't make it obvious.

Are you saying the council's agenda is the well being of ccfc?

The stadium isn't being sold. A change of management company doesn't mean that the club can never buy shares in that management company in the future, but the will of the clubs owners needs to change. At the moment the clubs owners are saying they are not interested in buying.

 

[Sick Boy]

Hahaha at least it's becoming more and more obvious that a number of posters on here aren't actually real.

 

[Frisky blue]

Is that the same Hoffman and Elliott that wanted to close the Academy?

All has slippery as each other

And sisu are our saviours are they?
All hail fucking sisu!
Coventry City are going to the promised land with sisu.
Why not say what you mean?
:jerkit:

Why not stop talking absolute shit and making things up?

Not that bright are you?
How does this close any doors, what difference does it make?
So if sisu own the stadium that will be ok will it?
It would be a disaster for us. Get sisu out first, that has to be the priority.

Good advice, you should try it.

The stadium is being sold to all intents and purposes. A long leasehold is 'ownership' whatever way you look at it. Unless you think people who buy flats and apartments don't own them?

Of course Wasps could sell on a stake in the future, but they doesn't mean they will. Why, after having spent years looking for a home of their own, and having weathered the massive storm that will come their way, would they then go an offload it? Wishful thinking, but I admire your optimism!

There's one idiot in every village.

It's simple - a bit like you. While the council retain ownership the door to ownership remains open, hopefully to new owners at some point in the near future.

The moment you hand control to a group of businessmen that have no emotional ties to the city, you lose that control (and nobody knows that their plans are or what their agenda is). You also make the club far less attractive to potential buyers - you do see that?

They don't own the flats, they own the lease. That's why people should be careful when buying one.

I didn't suggest they would sell it, I was making the point that it wouldn't be a case of being over for the club which you were suggesting.

From CCFC point of view it's our owners view that needs to change, the best thing for CCFC would be to own a part of ACL.

Look its fairly obvious you are doing the councils bidding on here as are a fair few others.

Anne no doubt will forgive you and you can start again next week with yet another username.

Someone should let Tim and Joy know this, they don't seem able to grasp that you don't need to own the freehold.

And sisu have "emotional ties to the city" do they?

We do not know the full details of any intentions that these bidders might have for Coventry City, but they sure as hell can't be worse than sisu.
These are potential buyers though, are they not?

And you have been doing sisu's bidding along with a minority of other misguided souls, who actually believe that sisu can do no wrong, and ACL, CCC, The Higgs charity etc. are to blame for the mess CCFC are in.

If they're involved with investment companies and the moving of sports teams then yes, they certainly can.
