    American property tycoon will move to buy Coventry if club slides into administration

    Exactly what I put in previous post - maybe all these pre court leaks are just to give SISU the option to bow out gracefully, with more cash than a forced admin sale would bring, give us new (hopefully better) owners and ACL a partner they can work with. Win-win-win

    American property tycoon will move to buy Coventry if club slides into administration

    Of course we are not supporting any points deduction - ideally any takeover would be done amicably, professionally and without having to be forced through in this fashion. Maybe if SISU see the writing on the wall and conclude that this outcome looks probable then maybe they will decide that the...

    American property tycoon will move to buy Coventry if club slides into administration

    Rob - I don't think its as simple as trying to get it on the cheap - SISU have consistently refused to sell (heavens knows why) but by being in administration they are no longer in full control, the administrator is. He/she will decide if a bid is acceptable and will then put together a CVA...

    American property tycoon will move to buy Coventry if club slides into administration

    Don't worry your Lordship we are trying to find out all the intentions of prospective owners - the blind acceptance of anyone with a couple of quid has lead us to the mess we are in today. Our abiding mission is to make sure that any new owners a: have the club at heart and are not just...

    So the SB trust want administration

    Just to reiterate it the SKY BLUE TRUST DOES NOT WANT OR ADVOCATE ADMINISTRATION - as has been said previously we were answering a question "as we were heading for admin what was the fans current mood" and what people were saying to us on Saturday was that large numbers whilst not wanting it...

    Fridays outcome?

    Italia - SISU may well have put in £45 million over the past few years, no published recent accounts to prove this one way or another so lets accept it at face value, but remember this is not their money but their investors money. We have it on good authority that those investors have said no...

    So the SB trust want administration

    Could be wrong but doesn't that indicate that a majority would accept it?

    So the SB trust want administration

    The title of this thread is completely wrong and misleading - the Trust does not want admin not advocates it. What we were asked last night was ' with the club heading for administration what is the mood of the fans?" Well we spoke to literally hundreds of fans on Saturday and the overwhelming...

    would you rather?

    1. No have not met them 2. There are more than one interested parties 3. One were at game on Tuesday w Elliott 4. One I am told has been to Ricoh on 3 separate occasions 5. There can have been no discussions re fan ownership or anything like that as we haven't met them and there is no football...

    Worms and Scum

    Sorry to be boringly controversial here but no one actually supports SISU or ACL or the Council or Fisher or Mutton (if they did the scarves would be on sale in the club shop!!) - we can agree with theIR individual stances or points of view but the only organisation that deserves out true...

    would you rather?

    Sorry WM but potential investors are much more real than a figment of the imagination

    would you rather?

    Key phrase is potentially - for the vast majority of football clubs they come out of administration as new healthier businesses - when was the last major football club liquidated in this country? Portsmouth, who are much bigger basket case than Cov, appear to be coming out of admin with new...

    would you rather?

    And in the short term neither is likely - in my view (not Trusts) court case will drag on and on for several weeks with the lawyers getting rich and the fans being messed around even more and without Clarke I fear we lack the fire power to reach playoffs let alone win them.

    I joined the Trust yesterday...

    I will personally track down that application and have it framed ;) Welcome on board Grendel - like I have said to a few people don't ask why should I join the Trust by why shouldn't I join - worst case I lose a quid best case I join something that may just positively influence the future of...

    I joined the Trust yesterday...

    Its a totally valid question but until we see what, if anything, really emerges from the rubble of the dispute we have no idea what sort of model would be applicable. If it was liquidation then we would be looking at maybe a 100% fan owned club in Evostick Div 5 where we all stick in a £100 or...

    Best bet is to email Michael at [email protected] and tell him what the problem is.

    Your beloved SISU: Why?

    The club has massively moved goal posts - on top of wanting 100% of all match day revenues for nothing - it almost seems that as ACL get close to giving them everything they ask for they shift tack. Their current demands revolve around simply claiming the unlawfulness of the original agreement...

    I joined the Trust yesterday...

    Should point out that Natalie was indeed a driving force in the original trust but whilst I believe she is a member of the "new" Trust she is not on the board or indeed active in any other way within the Trust these days.

    Your beloved SISU: Why?

    I can confirm it: F & B turnover in 2011/12 was £1,010,992, with Nett Profit of £119,903 but due to drop in attendances this year has lead to a drop in revenue which is expected to be around £650-700k with profit of around £95k ACL have indeed said that they were willing to give their share of...
