No usually get a decent price for players under 24 if was sold next year they will take into account a 300k bid been rejected and he has improved since then etc

The rules have changed, you now get a fixed price based on how many years he has been at the club and how many appearances he has made.

And the following week we'd have about 10,000.

Rarely had a full house at Highfield Road in the Premiership with a 23,500 capacity, a 32,000 seater was never needed.

With the correct pricing structure in the Premier League and with a successful team it is about right.
Comparisons being Leicester, Southampton, Derby to name a few,

Expenditure exceeding income?

You seriously still believe the sisu claim that they were losing £500k/mth ? There is not a chance those figures are the actual figures. they stripped the cflub of its top earners yet this mythical £500k never altered!

Either they were lying or they were spending elsewhere than on the team! You cannot sell the top earning players, replace them with lower earners and not change the losses each month!

If players leave you cant blame sisu after starving the club of income

Do you not think, that it is Sisu/Otium, that is starving the club of money, by choosing to play at a ridiculous venue, which is of their own choice in front of a couple of thousand "At best," instead of accepting a very generous offer to play at the Ricoh in front of a potential crowd of 12,000 plus and all in the cause of defiance and vengence against ACL and CC Council, who Only want back what they are legally owed by agreement with Otium leasure/CCFCLTD/CCFC HOLDINGS/ARVO/ or whatever Alias they choose to morph into at the minute, in order to dodge their Depts.
Its high time, that some members of the Forum and the general public, stopped regarding Sisu as some sort of Anti establishment cult figures, like Bonnie and Clyde, Al Capone, or Robin Hood, and viewed them in the actual context of Financial swindlers, and ethicless crooks, who are, at this very minute, achieving their Goal of destroying a well respected football club, that has given pleasure to countless number of Coventry fans over the years

Players under a certain age (cant remember maybe 21 or 23) do not come in to play for FFP.

We did sack a lot of manager, plus every time we sold players our attendance/income went down. Not saying that I believe the £500k pm figure but i do believe that in line with the rest of football our expenditure exceeded income.

They have not had any generous offer to play at the ricoh,the council and acl only offered this to the admin.The council and acl have been using the ricoh as a cash cow and bleeding the club dry.Why wont the ccc/acl offer the same deal now?
The sooner ccfc are back in coventry the better but both parties have to come together.

Were they starved of income in the last 5 years as they sold every one that had any value (including mark robins) for millions into SISU bank accounts.

Mark Robins wanted to leave..

Of course with Sisu not readily filing accounts, and having a web of companies moving assets and debts around it's hard to know the 'full truth'. Although most would view this set up is for their benefit rather than the club's.

Big picture, obviously revenue has dropped like a stone over the 5 Sisu years in charge with gates halving and following relegation and this Northants nonsense. No doubt they have tried to balance the books by selling pretty much every asset we have...

But let's be clear balancing the books in Div 3 or 4 or non league or whatever, isnt business success (as some on GMK seem to believe). A key part of any successful business is Growth. Balance the books in the Championship fair enough, but reduce the club's value by a half or a third, with little infrastructure to support future growth is failure. Sisu's failure.

Can you blame him for wanting to get out of this mess?

Oh yeah just outside the Play-Offs and the JPT Area Final (Albeit when he left) was a right mess...

Sisu have starved themselves of income by the utterly stupid decisions they have made. And that extends to the
fateful day they took over the club.They have consistently sold our best players and have not spent money on replacements.As owners of a football club they are an utter disgrace. NOPM KCIC.

i think he knew what was coming

But when he left at that specific point we were golden.

We are where we are, we have to accept it and do what we can do to get out the relegation zone and give the lads our full backing.

Sorry. Didn't know we were a well run club where the manager knew what was going on.

Ash, I have a look once in a while, but it is pretty terrible. Quite funny how its gone from a disinterested, anarchic shitfest full of trolls to thinking its a pro-Sisu superior intellectual broadsheet. ('thinking' being he word-- 'clueless minority' being the reality)

All the shit behind the scenes didn't just appear when Robins took over, neither did it appear at the end of last season, it's brewing to so many levels over the last few years, Mark Robins new what job he took on and did very well however when Robins left on the pitch we looked good, off the pitch normal service was in order.

Just to keep everyone in the loop with transfers that could spark activity regarding CCFC:

#htafc can now confirm that the paperwork has been completed on Jack Hunt's (@hunty32) transfer to Crystal Palace

So what do you know?

So ACL were using the Ricoh as a cash cow? IIRC CCC refinanced the mortgage on the Ricoh. When the morgage was taken out interest rates were much higher. So with a lower amount to pay they were able to offer a much lower amount. We were in admin so they had to by law go through the administrator. Looks like SISU told him not to accept. Instead they tried for a judicial review. Remember even the judge said they were trying to send ACL to the wall to get the Ricoh for peanuts? Why didn't they enter talks to try and sort something out if they wanted to?

There are two sides involved in this. One side wants to talk. One side wants the Ricoh for peanuts. Yet you blame who?
