    Coventry City ground share with Coventry RFC at Butts Park Arena could be back on

    ok potentially tenants in a much smaller ground. Mmmm Also someone has to pay for it. Let's say it cost the £31 million as suggested above that money will have to be raised. In order to do that CCFC would have to commit to stay for a very long time. Let's assume the money men are still...

    Spot on SISU use CCFC like a hostage Deal with us or the club gets it!. I think the talk of the club folding is way wide of the mark, Its a threat nothing more, they will want to retain the golden share. Admin on the other hand could be a possibility with SISU again picking up the pieces being...

    Just a slight aside, isn't there supposed to be meetings with WASPS and CSF this week? If Andersen is now gone who will be heading these up? or is this yet another diversionary tactic so that we simply forget by being distracted by this convenient loss?

    Joy S full of BS

    FFS. Build a new stadium!! for the 365 Revenue that it will attract. Lets say that the new stadium costs £30million that would mean if we were to pay it off over 25 Years at say a interest rate of 2% (V optimistic due to CCFC risk) CCFC would have to pay £127,000 per month just to fund the...

    Cov utd to play at Butts next season

    Will the usual suspects now add Cov United to the long list that have it in for the club and are forcing them out of town? They have now sunk any possibility of a CCFC ground share at the Butts. SISU/CCFC could not get a deal, Cov United can.. says a lot about our owners. But I suppose talking...

    letter in todays cov telegraph

    Torch, your sons view point is spot on and that is how it should be. I have been following CCFC all my life and for 40+ of those years I did not care about the owners as it was the club that mattered. I would not care if SISU made millions from running the club properly and delivering on the...

    Questions over Coventry City's future met with wall of silence

    There would be some formal notice of that intention, much wringing of hands by our owners and probably a 11th hour deal to extend the Ricoh deal. All again the big bad world forcing a deal on SISU deal that is they would claim , at least to the world, that is not favourable. they would still...

    Questions over Coventry City's future met with wall of silence

    Why would SISU want to negotiate anything about the Ricoh at this time? It is not in their interest. They are busy constructing a narrative of bring forced out of the Higgs centre and painting a picture of massive losses all brought about by the actions of CCC from whom they will look to...

    Mowbray and the Acadamy

    I think i will have to lie down and take stock as for the first time I am on the same side as Grendel and not Tony in this argument Not sure it will last though . Think the club want the money for the first team. . The academy could be considered as a Jam tomorrow project. Have posted...

    Tims latest missif

    It is unlikely likely that negotiations will start until both the Government and Sports England have made a ruling. The Govt have already made their stance known. Tim's private / public email is just an attempt to shake the tree as it is clear that they are currently outside any discussion...

    Tims latest missif

    I dont think this is a constructive path, if anything it is obstructive. Dialogue is constructive, SISU have been extremely delinquent on that from for many years. Only now are they making conciliatory noises. Too little too late. The letter only seems to focus on the self interest of CCFC...

    Tims latest missif

    This is not about the actions of WASPS or CCC or CSF or ACL any more than you or I should be judged by the actions of others. My posts have been very critical of SISU but I have consistently said that they should be judged by their action with regards to them being the custodians of CCFC. I...

    Worrying Comments from Mowbray

    Yep and the signings this year can be just as good if not better... but.... where did it get us? TM had had to get rid of the majority of the team and we have lost our higher performers (not just last year) so despite TM knowing what he wants , what needs to be done he has to start all over

    Worrying Comments from Mowbray

    Are you serious? It's not just about yesterday its about the whole closed season. Running a club and relying on the last day of the window in order to sign two unproven kids does not suggest TM has any room for manoeuvre. I hope the are both like AA but they tend to be the exception rather than...

    Worrying Comments from Mowbray

    I am not outraged, just accepting. I dont see what the payment of the players has to do with anything. Its much more about how much ambition the club has and how much you are willing to pay. We are now a team of youngsters who want to make a name and journeymen. We have signed two Kids until...

    Worrying Comments from Mowbray

    Cyrille Regis Summed up the situation in a half time interview the other week. With the current state of the club experienced players in their prime will not come, any promising players will be sold, all we will get are inexperienced kids and players towards the end of their careers. I really...
