    Match Thread Coventry City vs. Walsall Match Thread - Saturday 16th Feb

    Thoroughly enjoyed today. I thought bakayoko, Kelly and Willis were the stand out players but the team as a whole did well. Still think they can be a little more incisive and better decision making but that will really only come with increased confidence. Onwards and upwards but not ready for...

    Ricoh sit in

    I think there is a lot of things being claimed as fans power that masks the real reasons for ownership change. Fans played their part in each case but the major factor has always been other.

    Albany Meeting ?

    There needs to be dialogue. If not directly between the three parties via some intermediary. But above all between Sisu and wasps. However this knock back should not be a surprise. Previously when legals have been going dialogue ceased. From CCC point of view they would have been advised by...

    Myth busting discussion

    All fair points above I think if you skim read then you wont actually focus on minor bits...... the key points in each section are highlighted and that's the things that you pick up on. To go in to detailed descriptions or calculations is going to add to the length of the piece, which is...

    Grab a beer or a cup of tea, it’s CCFC!!

    No. Its an opinion. As is your analysis of what is going on. We all get told stuff and form an opinion from there. Including you and including me. Doesnt mean we have to have the same opinion. People are entitled to an opinion even if it is wrong or in your opinion it is wrong Has David...

    Grab a beer or a cup of tea, it’s CCFC!!

    Just looks like too ordinary fans using limited knowledge to put 2 and 2 together and coming up with the wrong answer on that twitter account. Cant see anywhere that has David Johnson putting a like on any of the posts. Offering up opinions, even if demonstrably wrong, is not rewriting history...

    Grab a beer or a cup of tea, it’s CCFC!!

    Not sure it helps anyone. It's just an opinion of history. It will have no effect on wasps or Sisu or efl Probably winds a few fans up for a time but it won't last. It doesn't provide any solution other than stop the legals. We would all like to see that wouldn't we irrespective of rights to...

    Grab a beer or a cup of tea, it’s CCFC!!

    Trouble is many posters here and various articles live in the past, constantly dragging up the past ad infinitum that provides no clarity or solution going forward. Perhaps people need to get angry to put pressure on not just the owners but the other parties. We are running out of time and on...

    Grab a beer or a cup of tea, it’s CCFC!!

    The article is an opinion piece written by someone who is staunchly anti Sisu. It makes clear from the start that it sets out to place the blame squarely on Sisu and that it is the writers opinion. It does not set out to provide a detailed analysis of the history of all parties involved nor does...

    Is this whole thing a Haskell Mk2?

    The "laws" that govern the game are not written in statute. The FA has "rules of the game & FA Regulations", the EFL simply "EFL regulations". They are basically rules of the competition. They are not like the Companies Act 2006 for example covered by an act of parliament. Many of the rules...

    Is this whole thing a Haskell Mk2?

    Wouldn't be much of an example in terms of fit & proper persons or governance though. It would be simply enforcing a rule that says you have to have a home ground to play in. But the concept of EFL working against one of its own members could have huge ramifications certainly

    Is this whole thing a Haskell Mk2?

    I would think it would be very difficult for the EFL to prove CCFC has been run badly by the directors & owners of Otium. Was Seppala even required to take the fit and proper test? Being in dispute with various parties (all and sundry) and going to court is not proof of running the company/club...

    From my understanding they have worked with AEG for a number of years on various things However why would they be looking to franchise the whole running of the stadium out to AEG having just signed a 20 year agreement with Delaware North to do exactly that?

    Is this whole thing a Haskell Mk2?

    That is the general sort of comment from people i have talked to also. It could get very messy and the actions less specific to one event. Things like reputational damage etc could be looked at. In terms of the case if CCFC is liquidated there are a couple of points that may not help SISU's...

    Is this whole thing a Haskell Mk2?

    I could just as easily be posting about a hard nosed hedge fund who planned and took the losses on their football club investment to benefit their investors and everyone was powerless to stop them. I think there are plans to all this , in that I agree with Nick. I tend to think one side has...

    Is this whole thing a Haskell Mk2?

    But the point is it doesn't matter what ACL were saying or showing around. It doesn't matter what they thought or encouraged. The one party that mattered knew there was no possibility of it happening and had been working on their plan for well over a year. Typical sisu don't look here look...

    Is this whole thing a Haskell Mk2?

    You have to stand back and look at it. Should be and is easier in hindsight. It also helped sisu to portray as under threat but my memory of it is that regime change first came in comments from Fisher. It was never going to happen and sisu had already ensured that by planning the insolvency to...

    Is this whole thing a Haskell Mk2?

    I know what was said by the CT... never a reliable source..... but the facts are the only entity that could control administration was sisu. So the bottom line is there might have been a desire to achieve it, there might have been plenty of empty talk.... but it wasn't going to happen unless...

    Is this whole thing a Haskell Mk2?

    Question. What exactly was the mechanism by which Haskell and co were going to force regime change? Ccfc has always been on the basis of a private limited company which means all the owner has to say and has said is no. They couldn't force insolvency and the last administration served a...

    Is this whole thing a Haskell Mk2?

    What could be just as worrying is that the tax relief on the losses of "loans" say 45m in the two companies and the preference shares of 63m which could be worth more to them than selling on. All depends on what's available and how things are set up of course.
