    Rumour: Hoffman and Elliot takeover negotiations

    Exactly. What if Wasps maybe 'encouraged' by CCC don't agree a new deal,where will we play? Can't see Birmingham,Walsall or even Northampton agreeing to a ground share,when they will surely realise the open fan hostility to such a move. The Butts is surely a non starter, is a Nuneaton ground...

    Rumour: Hoffman and Elliot takeover negotiations

    But if there was a takeover by Hoffman then he would still require a training ground/facility, for the club to continue. Hoffman could hardly buy the club, if SISU kept Ryton and the club had no where to train. So that is hardly a viable solution. In the same way it would seem inconceivable that...

    Rumour: Hoffman and Elliot takeover negotiations

    And you think SISU will pay for something like that, but plus of course there would be the small matter, they would need some land to build it on. Fisher has apparently spent the last 4 years looking for land for our mystical new stadium, so I wouldn't put too much faith in us getting any new...

    Rumour: Hoffman and Elliot takeover negotiations

    But if they sell Ryton, the club would have no where to train, no changing facilities, no gym facilities, and probably no medical facilities, it would be hard to imagine how the club could even pretend to be a professional football club anymore. Not sure we would get much for Willis, and there...

    CCFC worth - by lecturer in football finance Liverpool

    When you say 'our' strategy isn't working, we don't know that. What we do know is that it hasn't worked yet. Admittedly it may never work, but whose to say it may work over time. It maybe be a poor analogy, but Argentina didn't surrender when we bombed Port Stanley airfield, or when we sunk the...

    Letters from Mark Robins

    That would be a fair argument if SISU held all the cards,but clearly that is no longer the case. Yes the old adage that possession is 90% of the law still holds, but SISU face 2 factors they have no control over. One they have no control over their short term revenue streams, and indeed if seems...

    Rumour: Hoffman and Elliot takeover negotiations

    A lot continues to be made of this idea that 'we' didn't ask enough questions when SISU first arrived. Firstly i doubt any normal fan will get to ask any questions or have any meaningful influence on any takeover back then or now. Secondly asking questions back then would have made a single jot...

    Timothy Fishers Apology

    Well at least that would be more honest.

    third bid

    Well some of his general football decisions, were to agree to Venus becoming manager, to then compound that decision by appointing Slade. Those were 2 of his major footballing decisions he has made in the last few months,I doubt if many fans would call them enlightened appointments. Plus of...

    How is the club worth more

    A slashed budget will invariably weaken the side,which will drive even more fans away. I'm not sure there will be a queue of clubs clamouring to sign players ,who helped get us relegated weeks before the season's end. But the biggest weakness for SISU, is we still don't have a ground to play...

    Gilbert V Reid

    The trouble with Reid is that he has allowed his bitter dispute with the Coventry Telegraph to become so personal that it has clouded his judgement. At times he comes across as hysterical in his reaction,and it just seems too personal for him. As others have said he just keeps repeating the...

    How do we rid ourselves of SISU?

    I'm not sure its true to say no protests have worked, It could be argued that the mass boycott by the majority of fans in not going to Northampton, did eventually help force them to return. Fisher originally said we would be at Northampton for a minimum of 3 years,and that we had left the Ricoh...

    Fisher on ST Pricing

    As evidenced on here dally, you will never get fan unity. Whether its Burge v RCC v another goalie, retaining or letting go Haynes, Stevenson, Lameiras Reid et al,all fans will have differing opinions. The same is true of all clubs. Again with what to do over buying a season ticket, a full...

    Message to seppala and fisher

    The elephant in the room, people keep ignoring when doing comparable attendances with other clubs, in the previous 20/30/40 years, is the fact we haven't had a top 6 finish for nearly 50 years. Football is all about glory for most fans, as witnessed by our huge following last Sunday. The bread...

    Gael MOM

    Difficult to pick anyone out, but agree with a lot that Bigi had probably his best game I can ever remember,and perhaps he edged it. Thomas's goal was absolutely brilliant so can't argue with his selection. Haynes seems to have improved his defensive capabilities under Robins. Stokes brings a...

    Trafalgar Square/Covent Garden Saturday

    Even better Coventry's proper Rugby team beat Rosslyn Park in a great game at our supposed new home. Saw a few Cov fans there too,and there were loads of Sky Blue fans at Coventry Railway station this morning. They even had a guy trying to sell 'half and half' scarfs, was tempted for about half...

    In your opinion will we eventually move to the Butts

    Hard to believe people believe any of this nonsense. Over 4 years ago now,Fisher talked of a new stadium, he was always closing in on a land deal,at all these various secretive locations,yet magically they all always fell through,just before he could announce their location. Now suddenly the...

    Twice a week on Sky,before mid-week matches,and weekend matches Premiership managers pre-match interviews are shown on Sky. virtually every question you've heard a million times before, so have the managers,and most of the answers have been heard countless times before. Last season when we were...
