    Interesting Piece On The BBC

    very different perspectives. The impartial BBC say about our owners Sisu took over the club in 2007, before being rebranded as Otium when the club went into administration in 2013. They have so far presided over one relegation, two separate 10-point penalties for going into administration, the...

    What good have sisu actually done for the club?

    On your points they are still in a much worse place than they should be. Balanced the cash flow we don't know that yet... lost 60m went into admin .... not balanced.... the next accounts are due the end of this month I believe that will tell us. With regards to the rent. Did they save anything...

    Hockaday

    I think he is here till at least the end of the season. I think SISU had this in mind all the time. Why do they now need to add another wage when they are trying to curb spending .... plus they have just employed Hockaday and a new manager might not want him around so they would have to get...

    Anybody else still going to defend Pressley?

    Very worrying in that he cites losing a two goal lead to inexperience. Where is the experience then for a serious relegation fight. Oh and By the way RFC he chose the players, coached them and picked them , so whilst he is not on the pitch the playing side is his responsibility and now by...

    Wasps question that could affect CCFC

    The game is changing and unfortunately the haves will get richer and the have nots will really struggle. Does it really matter if you only deal with one club or many ? the effect is the same. Giving another teams players time on the pitch and developing them. If you are lucky enough to get a...

    That is how to look after fans

    All of that you can pin directly at our owners door. CCFC are the biggest potential crowd puller in the area. No one but the club and its owners are responsible for their well being. Give them something to see and they will come Give them something to see and they will write about it...

    Waggott Forum

    Ask him about the five point plan and specifically what are the targets, time frames and how are they measuring progress. Ask him what success looks like at the end of this season, the next one and the one after that and if they don't meet them will they have been adjudged to have failed. ask...

    Who owns Coventry City?

    Just some rambling thoughts after reading this thread. Are we all being distracted by CCFC in all of this. We are totally focused on possibly one corner of SISU's business dealings. What are their other dealings and do they need to have a loss making company in order to offset tax from other...

    If they can't get land for 10,000 jobs then they won't get it for a stadium.

    I agree with you 100% and I suppose the debate got into the developers etc... If they cannot make money then it won't happen. It just seems to pour even more cold water over the idea of a new stadium, no site big enough in the city boundary, if its outside the city is it likely to be proposed on...
