ewwww very messy:laugh:
I think's what he means.....
Hedge funds don't find their investors in your local ladbrokes. These guys are serious players.
Lets say 15 to 20 investors came in to buy city. With an initial investment of 100,000 each. That's small fry to these people.
Well their incentive is not the club its the property. The ricoh. Nothing wrong with that at all.
The ricoh is the key to the deal. We we can all remember the council and acl stating they would sell to the new owners.
So the 20 investors continue to foot the bill for the debts interest payments. The players wages and new players. As well as extortionately high rent. .
Well on that basis its not a great investment is it.
So the investors. Who are very smart poeole say no thanks. .. no more. . We are getting nothing for our money. . So we sell our best players. After all the investors are our priority agree or not.
Then the next thing the investors hear is the owners of the ricoh are backtracking and say they will not sell to sisu full stop.
Incentive to invest completely out of the window. .. hence the reason for removal of high paid executives. Players. Non payment of rent. And a f--k you attitude from sisu and the investors. Personally I don't blame them.
When thorn stated "poeole going in directions" he meant sisu. The council and acl.
I can tell you this complete and utter mess is down to coventry city council. If they hadn't crapped all over sisu investors I'm convinced we would have continued buying players in the realms of king. Kept the likes of turner and co. .. added in the summer .. but instead sisu were forced into a corner by the council and acl.
Nonsense to be blaming the council-absolute nonsense.
I can't understand this bile and hatred aimed at Richard Keys by some clowns on here, is it jealousy at local lad makes good. Keys is a city fan through and through and has been on sisu's case for 12 months or more, it was he who introduced these investors to Hoffman. It is obvious he knows a lot more and i think he is keeping the pot boiling even tempting a reaction from our owners. I think sisu liquidating our club is a real prospect, they are hard headed business people, no scruples and will do whatever they want. Going back to Richard Keys he knows he is high profile, well known nationally as a journalist, TV presenter, in football circles and has a lot to lose to add to his Sky problem. Those on here ridiculing him on his tweets offer jack shit to our situation other than to play the tough guys on their keyboard...cowards.
Don't you think it might just be that Richard Keys, who mixes with the Hoffmans of this world knows a lot more than what he is saying and what he knows might be a bit scarey.The frustration is simply that a lot of things hes said never appear to happen, so people view it as scaremongering and posting.genuinely worrying stuff by someone who doesn't appear to know too much.
Yes I agree, but it's the not knowing that's winding everyone up. He could be forewarning, he could be bullshitting - we have nothing but his word and, therefore, people are questioning him as they desperately hope that it's wrong.Don't you think it might just be that Richard Keys, who mixes with the Hoffmans of this world knows a lot more than what he is saying and what he knows might be a bit scarey.
I thought the council retained a veto over not selling the ground? When they saw SISU sacking managers, selling players, their own men walking away from them etc. the council probably decided to call on that veto. As a tax payer I wouldn't be happy about them selling the ground to the wrong people. Just as I wouldn't be happy if they'd sold the ground to Hoffman if his £1 bid for the club was successful. Proof of being a competent owner is needed before they sell up.
Nonsence. .. how is it nonsence. Do you not understand the investors came along for the arena. .. not the team. That's just simply part of the deal. .
The council have refused to sell the ricoh back to the club after agreeing with the council to do so.
It is down to the council the investors have stuck 2 fingers up and are walking away from the club. Its nonsence to not to understand that.
How are the council right. The council owning the ground was supposed to be temporary. I believe the council want to continue owning because the rent is a decent money maker... not just from the club. .. but the other 85 percent of income/profit may have a hell of a lot to do with it.
I think acl have put the final nail in the coffin. Shame because sisu have investors whom could collectively put multiple millions into our club. But were they going to do that with no stadium ... no assets. . . No.

sad. Very sad day for cov. Now i hear sisu want to put the club into liquidation to rip out any last assets. That's the hold up.
response to richard keys - go away you sad little man. You are reveling in our misery.
Response to Thorn In My Side - he is doing what every single one of us would do. Posting on twitter or on a forum when we have information about the club we love.
How on earth can you say he is revelling in our misery...?

What does he know..... I tell you about as much as me about heart operations. What idiots follow him?
So you know him personally then?
That's another one.
An awful lot of people on here seem to know an awful lot about Richard Keys.
Fact is, we have no idea what he knows. No idea at all.
I know a bit about him, and the "Sleazy Keys'ie" name is well earned.
Thing is Lord, I take everything he says with a pinch of salt and have never really taken anything he has said particularly seriously, but I don't know why his tweets or observations cause such a stir.
I'm just happy he is keeping our plight in the spotlight.

Not saying who it is, but a few years ago when i used to work for a local Aviation company,we used to do charter flights for a TV company taking their presenters around the country to do live broadcasts.
At one airport, the lead passenger tried chatting up the girls at the handling agent, and persuaded one to fly up on the aircraft to the live broadcast, their charter, their call.
Unfortunately the people paying for the charter, and or, his wife, found about this and demanded an explanation from him why this happened.
He then called the company i worked for, claiming that the pilots had wanted the girl to travel, and was all down to them and that they should be sacked.
He was told to fuck off.
Not going to say who the lying scumbag is, though never believed a word he's said ever since.
