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

    Certainly, and it doesn't appear that either of the shareholders were expecting the formula price to be paid.

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

    The formula price was the maximum price, lower offers could be offered and accepted. The original SISU/Higgs deal was not a formula price. 50% is not a minority shareholder, and both shareholders would hold a veto. A good place to be in to negotiate a new rent deal. The Council were going to...

    Pitch

    At half time they showed a game vs Forest at Highfield Rd, the pitch looked worse than the one we have now, and we scored a couple of great goals.

    Council selling things off to pay for a new hotel

    The director of the developing company is also a director of the City of Culture Trust, and was also involved the CV One company that managed (maybe still do) the city centre.

    JSB party question

    Hopefully they will have just pre signed a load of sheets that can be given out, and then let the players mingle around the crowd, that would be better for everyone. Booked an afternoon off for this one, will be good to have a look around the Ricoh before we get kicked out.

    Liquidation

    It sounds like there's no point in anyone asking them to drop the legals then, it's their best (maybe only) way of getting an investor return.

    Liquidation

    Wouldn't that be based on SISU assuming there would be no other credible bidders for ACL though?

    Liquidation

    It does appear to be a clever way to keep control. I think one part where SISU failed in their thinking/plan was losing track of the rules over the right to buy back the Higgs shares (either by way of a maximum calculated price, or a negotiated lower one). This allowed the possibility of other...

    Match Thread Coventry City vs. Southend United Match Thread - Saturday 29th Dec

    Thanks for confirming there was something, there was a suggestion of it being a squirrel from some around us, but it just looked too big from the quick look I got, but certainly happy to go with a lovely bit of squirrel.

    Match Thread Coventry City vs. Southend United Match Thread - Saturday 29th Dec

    I know it sounds weird, but yes, literally running down the stand over shoulders (of people sitting down). Others must have seen it. Surely. Help me out here.

    Match Thread Coventry City vs. Southend United Match Thread - Saturday 29th Dec

    Did anyone in block 20 see something run over the shoulders of people towards the end of the game, it was moving fast, but I'm sure it was a huge rat. This is not a weird joke, I'm sure there was a rat.

    12 Days of Christmas Quiz

    I was chatting to a lad from work earlier, one of those people that just wins every quiz, remembers every element from games gone by etc, between us I'm confident of 9 with a possible 1 more. I've contributed the possible 1 more. Struggling with 1 centre half, and 1 striker.

    Poll: The trust - fit for purpose?

    I think the Trust do represent the views of most fans, but the views of most fans aren't (always) necessarily what we need the Trust to represent.

    CCFC, Otium & JR2

    If Otium, sbs&l and ARVO lose the claim and costs are awarded against them, what happens if they refuse to pay? Could the SISU controllers be thinking that the Council, Wasps and Higgs wouldn't go after Otium for the money as it would risk impacting on ccfc? I'm not trying to stir this up, just...

    Appeal Dismissed

    Didn't Gilbert say before that they can still appeal after the deadline, if something new comes to light?

    Would you go?

    Arguement. Bizzare.

    Would you go?

    A couple of the spelling mistakes in the 33 posts so far are the same as Dongo used to make, could be coincidence of course. Dongo, if you are out there, just come back as yourself, you great big arse.

    Actually I thought what would Nick do, so I just went into him two footed, studs up.

    Oddly he's never been a City fan, but he did once buy a season ticket. Some people are just a bit strange.

    Match Thread Coventry City vs. Peterborough United Match Thread - Friday 23rd Nov

    I did. Outside I bumped into an old friend who now lives in Peterborough and supports them, he missed both goals as his brother, a City fan, and who was giving him a lift, had told him to leave slightly early to get back to the car so they could avoid the traffic, his brother didn't leave early...
