Phase one elites getting them special privileges again…
Starts at the start of the video for me. What’s the time stamp?
Why? Is Coventry unlovable? Does the city’s story not attract a response. I am no longer buying her investors come first second and third. I think it’s a crock of shit. They come first absolutelyI can't buy Phil Upton's tweets about her falling in love with the club-She's successful precisely *because* she has no sentiment business-wise.
If that works for us then great but the current success on the pitch is 100% down to MR and the playing/coaching staff
Doing better than Fisher. Didn't he get a pint and / or chair chucked at him when he tried going for a drink with supporters?
But I can entertain a world where she’s invested personally in the clubWhy? Is Coventry unlovable? Does the city’s story not attract a response. I am no longer buying her investors come first second and third. I think it’s a crock of shit. They come first absolutely
Haven’t seen or heard a lot from Fisher recently. Don’t think I have seen him at the last couple of games (he might just be on holiday) and he hasn’t made any sort of public statement for ages.
Poor old Boddy last night had that hangdog expression like a man who had spent the last week ferrying her ladyship around.

Depends how invested you’re talking, if you’re talking as invested the same as us I’d disagree. If she sells up tomorrow, I doubt she’ll the sitting in her house next year asking her husband to Stick sky sports news on to see how the city got on.But I can entertain a world where she’s invested personally in the club
She’s a fabulous actress if that’s the case. Don’t get me wrong she’s not invested like you and me but she absolutely cares about the success of ccfc.Depends how invested you’re talking, if you’re talking as invested the same as us I’d disagree.

she’s invested in the fact that currently CCFC success = investor success
We’ll see, I’ve always been willing to give them the benefit of the doubt, but I stop short of believing she genuinely cares about the club.She’s a fabulous actress if that’s the case
I think that’s fair, my only counter is that was then and this is now and as I say it’s not our kind of investment but genuinely to say she doesn’t give a shit or it comes fourth behind investors three times or shes only interested as it increases the money she can get out isn’t the caseWe’ll see, I’ve always been willing to give them the benefit of the doubt, but I stop short of believing she genuinely cares about the club.
from a business POV I understand a lot of what they say, re: St. Andrews, and to an extent Northampton. But if she cared about the club - we would never have been put in a situation where the club and fanbase have been in an internal war with themselves.

Like most football fans that have followed a team for 5-6 years I would sayPete, I assume you’ve met the woman or had conversations with her, how far do you think her emotional investment in CCFC goes?

Course I understandIt's not unloveable to me mate!
I hope you're right that she has formed some attachment and this translates to a continued/settled situation off the pitch
I just struggle, like most, to forget the pain of those points deductions/administration/being dragged out the city
To be fair given that there were no fans it made no difference to coming back last season, if anything it probably strengthened our causeI can't see how someone who loved the club would have stopped us coming back to Coventry last season.
Now it may have been part of a longer term strategy, ormaybe she knew the way things were going to pan out regarding the pandemic but I find it a strange decision.
Jodi Jones could do Fifa with no risk of an ACLWe, as a club need to get involved in ESports. Big money in it.
Do you know what happened last season? Or who pulled the plug and as huckerby says no fans anywayI can't see how someone who loved the club would have stopped us coming back to Coventry last season.

Never say never… didn’t Andy Whing do his hamstring eating pasta?Jodi Jones could do Fifa with no risk of an ACL
Did she know there'd before fans all season?To be fair given that there were no fans it made no difference to coming back last season, if anything it probably strengthened our cause
if there were no fans this season I’d hazard a guess we’d still be St. Andrews

InterestingA tender has appeared for Warwick Council for the following:
"A substantial development opportunity is available in Warwick District, for which Warwick District Council is seeking to appoint a developer; both in regard to the provision of a new community stadium and other commercial opportunities. The site holds a central location close to key local employers and a number of local schools, which will include two new schools (one primary and one alternative provision) being delivered by Warwickshire County Council and the Department for Education, at the north side of the site.
The scope of the contract is to appoint a development partner to deliver the construction of the community stadium, and additional appropriate development on the stadium site and associated development land and buildings"
Fallen for I don’t know but as I say I don’t accept investors first second and third priorities any more. They do come first but she absolutely buys into coventry as a club more than just success makes more money. But what do I know of the mind of a hedge fund managerI don't know for sure just what I've heard.
But she's in charge of a hedge fund and a hard nosed business woman, that's her primary function and I've no problem with that, I just don't buy that she's fallen for the club and has its best interest at heart.
It makes for a good story line in Ted Lasso but this is the real world
Can't see that being anything to do with us. Unless they've somehow persuaded Warwick council to pay for it!A tender has appeared for Warwick Council for the following:

So the question to her needs to be are you prepared to increase our budget currently the fourth lowest in the division to allowing more Mark Robins scope in the transfer market.Fallen for I don’t know but as I say I don’t accept investors first second and third priorities any more.

Would assume so. The description seems to match with what they're planning. Looks a decent stadium for them.Isn’t this the Leamington FC stadium they’ve been talking about by Europa Way? The resi development they’re building there has schools as well.
