It was just part of a thread starting roll

Bit reactive to what was happening during the day/days........
Petition.
Motions made for our long term training base to be put up for sale.
Local news paper blocked from talking with the manger.

All worthy news.

I'm no financial wizard, so what would Shitsu make if they liquidated the club? They would lose the reported £35 million invested in the club. Can they get this back as a tax write off or is it just lost? Realistically what assets are there left?

Ryton. We already know there is planning permission submitted on it but Sport England have said it must be replaced with other sporting pitches before it can go ahead. Can they stop houses being built? If so what is Ryton actually worth to them?

Player sales, of the current squad who is a saleable asset and what are they worth? Surely these can only be sold in a transfer window and other clubs aren't stupid. They will see what's going on and realise that in a few weeks they will be able to sign these players on a free as they will be unemployed. So they wouldn't be sold anywhere near market value. We have no world beaters, at best we have average league 1 players.

There are probably a few other sundries like office furniture, IT etc but nothing major.

This leaves the Golden share. What is it worth? Would the football league play hard hardball over it and stop an MK Dons type takeover meaning any new club would have to remain Coventry area based.

At present I can't see the club being worth any more than 3-4 million at best. Would Shitsu accept an offer like that or would they out of spite liquidate the club and get the same money?

It has got to the stage where I can see someone being so irate with Shitsu that they will go and find them and cause them physical harm. Fisher had to leave a pub after an away game already having been jostled.

What can we do as fans? Blackpool fans made an offer of 16 million to the Oystons to buy the club. Oystons rejected the offer but it was taken seriously. Could we as fans come up with 3-4 million to be able to make the offer?

Honestly still can't believe that this even a fooking discussion.

Supporters behaving like a hedge fund!

Let's starve our club of money till they run out of business.

Isn't that EXACTLY the same tactic that dodgy funds do to put businesses in distress and buy on the cheap.

Yet the very same people who are proposing this course of action are those that hate the Hedge Fund SISU and all that they stand for.

I wish they could understand the word irony.

I really don't understand NOPM-why would any supporter want to damage our club so much that it would lead to its possible extinction?

Because they think by taking City to the brink of collapse that a knight in shining armour will come along and solve all our woes?

What we need is a Fairy Fooking Godmother-to wave a twatting magic wand and turn a pumpkin into a new stadium and a few rats in the council into people who actually have the best interests of the club at heart!

Honestly have a fookin word with yourselves.


It went in off Ferguson's beard....

Probably because it's happening anyway but by a drip drip method determined by the actions of others.
As opposed to a coordinated action that under the control of the fans. (Like Northampton was)
Fans could do NOMP and turn up outside the Ricoh until they see some substantial commitment to a new stadium/training base/academy or a long term rental signed regarding all these areas whoever it be within the Coventry area.

No point 6 pages worth suggests everyone has been capable of working it out.
You are doing a lot of posting on something that you were "treating with the respect it deserves.

I think Blackpool are probably the only club who can claim to have a worse owner than ours. There are 2 or 3 parties who are willing to give oyston the asking price but he won't sell to those particular parties purely out of spite.
At least we know if some one was stupid enough, I mean benevolent enough to offer sisu what they want they would go.

 

[dongonzalos]

Blackpool is unbelievable absolutely shocking.

Maybe our owners are planing to turn the town of rugby into a town of football. Whilst our city is turned into the city of Rugby?

 

[Great_Expectations]

I go to watch Coventry play because I support them. Surely that's the point being missed here. Regardless of owners, politics and all off field issues - they are my team and therefore I choose to watch them play.

Do I want SISU gone? In an ideal world yes. Am I going to let them stop me watching my team; no.

Previous NOPM campaigns have been pointless and hypocritical.

Isn't one of the key 'SISU out' issues around the fact they don't care about the fans? So why would they care that fans aren't turning up? It might hurt them financially? They'll just sell another asset, further damaging us long term.

I'm all for raising the profile of our situation, but not at the expense of damaging the team.

 

[skyblue025]

Are they any worse? They have rebuilt the ground completely, which the club owns. They aren't asset stripping the club they just haven't funded the first team for 4 years.

that's how I see it, but I wouldn't call the NOPM people hypocrites, (unless they go and watch wasps), everyone has to do what they feel is best.

I think, (and I sometimes have work dealing with a season ticket holder which is where I get my info from), that one of the interested parties used to be involved with oyston, I think he may be Lithuanian.
All the good times they had a few years ago were when this guy was involved but fell out with oyston.
He's one of th ones tryin to buy the club and another is a local businessman who oyston has fallen out with.

Those that follow it this time may not be, but I recall a number (both on here and people I know/see at games), who soon dropped the stance when big games came around.

Well you'd have to say you're right, that's hypocritical.
