Dwindling crowds should bother any football club owner TBF. A lot of how things pan out with any boycott will come down to the performances on the pitch this season to an extent. I've seen most of the games and we're definitely far better than the results before Port Vale. It's a bit early to...

My point is that she can hold on in the hope that eventually there could be a return if the stadium / asset issue can get sorted. She would sell if someone legit came forward with a decent offer but it's her idea of decent rather than a market valuation. It's a gamble, but a safer one than most...

Pretty much, yes. As I said before, not having a CEO or Ops Director doesn't help, but the lack of communication is a major issue ATM. Kieron moving on t bigger things was a bigger loss than people thought at the time.

Well, for me, it hasn't just been SISU destroying the club. (But I am in no way defending their conduct or part in all this either.) But with a boycott, fine, the club get less money. Sell players, spend less on replacements, keep plodding away. The problem is with them going is that there are...

Exactly. That's the problem really. SISU don't have to sell if they can get things on an even keel so they can hold out for a relatively decent return rather than naff all.

Well, as I said in another reply, if you want to get rid of them, they need something to sell. Total guess but even if they only had planning and a new stadium project ready to go they *could* think about selling...but more than likely wait until it's built and the club re-established. I've...

Heh...you wonder why I haven't been here for the past couple of years?!? What I mean is, to put it in more brutal, Sun Tzu-esque terms, if you want to defeat an enemy you need to think like them. As for the party political broadcast, it's probably only for the 'Things BHSB Doesn't Want to...

Well, that depends on what you *think* the deal was & how the transfer income actually works. AFAIK, we're not quite at break even – maybe £1m loss compared to £12m+ a few seasons back which in itself, as far as the financial side of things goes, a big achievement – but trying to get there.

Well, if we've less tickets sold, there's less money to spend to it goes hand-in-hand. I think most people would expect crowds to rise if we can move up the league table and challenge for the playoffs but that's always the gamble at this level.

Er, getting dragged off to court, possible loss of job, bad publicity for Cov fans in general, possible banning order from grounds...and not getting any more chances to put your point over in the future? ;)

Haha! No. Not a job I'd be remotely interested in :) I've got to know over the last few years, initially though having a few meetings when I was helping out with the Get Cov Back to the Ricoh campaign and since, just from meeting up now & again when travelling to &/or from games via London. I'm...

Knowing TF's sense of humour, that sounds genuine. But what he meant by what the fans won't like is the business model thing – we have to live within our means & all that.

Despite having major reservations about the sanity of dipping back into the happy, happy fun land of SBT...here we go... I was one of a few fans – London Supporters Club members – who got the train back to London and yes, TF was there and came and sat with us all the way back. I think that the...

Afternoon all. In New York (the city, not the Rotherham stadium) and wish I could be in Cov for a few hours... Ah well, you lot will have to do ;)

Heh...pick a patch of grass in the Coventry 'area' ;-) Also, that I'm going down the pub so we can pick this up on Sunday lunchtime...

I get the feeling that there has been a change of heart, yes. Also, it'll be interesting to see how things pan out after the JR appeal etc.

Good Lord, you're on fire tonight :p You might consider that I have my own sources. And I'm perfectly capable of mouthing off for myself thank you...as is Les which why there's no point doing it on his behalf.

You know what's funny? Reading stuff like this and knowing what I know compared to what you think you know. :D I guess if you're over in Germany, opportunities to dig deeper are limited to Internet ferreting, but it's actually not that hard to find out what might be going on if you speak to...

And it ain't going to get any better in the new year.

A recent series of tweets from Les Reid: 1/4 For clarity, #CCFC Butts stadium plan IDed for months. Clubs did NOT want secret out but new MD let slip saying "in Cov" &"FL inspected" 2/4 Does any1 think @football_league would inspect greenfield in Warks, new MD lied, or not intelligent enough to...
