1 nil at the weekend would be a great result. Strikers often improve, if the back line can hold it together for a while then the goals will start to flow

We never really acknowledged what Cedric achieved with us. He was brilliant alongside Robbie Keane, they were the perfect partnership. Very sad to see this, 45 is no age at all and I’m the same age!

I remember the Liverpool faithful making the hairs on my neck stand up when they sang their team to victory in ta Champions league final. The great thing about football is that you can at times just enjoy being in the moment, even when it’s not your team

The King deal has always seemed a little bit fishy to me. Why now? Why not 6 months ago? I still think Sisu are trying to push the price up and hoping Ashley bites. But like everything they touch it’s all falling apart. I could be wrong but something doesn’t stack up

Seppalla and King can’t win this battle. They either sell the club to Ashley or spend a fortune on a new ground which could take years. Ashley meanwhile doesn’t strike me as the type who’s really in this for real estate. He’s all about retail and running football clubs. I suspect he’s totally...

If King or SISU want to hard ball then they need to come up with an alternative venue for the club to play in. Silence speaks volumes

What’s the betting Doug King will pull out unless this is resolved? If he does I betcha Ashley offers to buy the club. These are games and Ashley is much smarter than his opponents. Wait and see

Sisu/ King options - spend tens of millions building a new stadium. Or reduce the cost of CCFC by several million and sell to Ashley. Simple maths here. Ashley isn’t a mug and has more lawyers than SISU

Ashley is hard balling SISU. He’s driving down the value of the club by serving an eviction notice.

Ashley still hasn’t said he’s not interested in buying Coventry. I wonder why or if any journalists have asked him the question. For legal reasons he’d struggle to buy Cov in the next 12 months if he ruled it out. So his silence is important

Ashley was wrong for the Toon but would be right for us. He’s very rich (worth 2-3 billion) but in a Premier League dominated by even richer people his pockets aren’t deep enough for a very big club. He is rich enough however to gradually turn Cov into a really well run club with a clever...

I think Ashley wants the club. That’s the real end game I suspect

Feels like a bud to try and for MA’s hand

I was always against SISU taking CCFC over. I thought it was good for Richardson but awful for the club. If a Mike Ashley had taken over then and written off some debt we’d have recovered much faster. I really blame Richardson for this mess

If Ashley was to buy the club I think it could only be a good thing. He’s from the Midlands, is worth Billions and would be a very steady owner. I think we could only move forwards. Big if

Remember one thing here. Interest rates are climbing. If Sisu has debt their interest payments are climbing in a tough economy. Now could be a good time to cut and run. Ashley will know that. He’ll hard ball them

Ashley will get ACL. He loves football and he’s from up the road in Walsall. He may just fancy another crack at football and he may just see an opportunity to develop a new Midland football powerhouse. He’s also from Walsall, so watch out the Saddlers will be moving in soon :-(

There is no way Ashley would be daft enough to say he wants either Cov or Wasps at this stage. More likely he’ll wait for Joy Sepalla to call and tell her she needs to pay more to use the ground or she can F off to Walsall or Northampton. Or of course he’ll give her 50p and a packet of Crisps...

I suspect Ashley would buy CCFC but not at the price SISU will demand. Ultimately it’s clear that to move forward we either build our own stadium or SISU cut their losses and get what they can. Some realism from SISU is needed.

As I’ve said before we are dependent on events and are not masters of our own destiny. However buys ACL doesn’t have to buy CCFC. Sisu really has a weak hand.
