SISU´s thinking (1 Viewer)

I was thinking, why was sisu and fisher talking about liquidation a week before acl threatened administration, yet there were never any talks about relocation? the relocation idea seems to have come as admin became a reality, why?
.. lets try to bone this out...

So sisu is "forced" to put ltd in admin by acl about a week after they threaten to liquidate the club...which means the football league withholds the golden share for the time being until the company comes out of admin.

ACL and sisu states no deal is possible between the two which means sisu are forced to come up with an alternative plan for a homeground as no golden share will be allocated to them without such plan.....and the administrator cannot by law sell ltd to sisu if they don´t have a homeground and a way forward for the club.

Although ACL has opened the door for discussion, SISU cannot put their faith in acl´s hands as a renegging by acl on an eventual deal just days before a football league decision regarding the allocation of the GS or days before a decision by the admin to sell ltd would put sisu in a bad place and without a solid thought out plan of where to play. They simply don´t trust acl or the council and rightly so, as they want sisu out just as much as we do.I guess that´s why they have to seem strong and convincing regarding the relocation plan. They have no other choice and, as we will see, puts them in a strong position.

The return of ACL at the table to discuss a deal tells me they understand they will hold NO cards if/when SISU takes ltd out of admin-sisu can say "we´re moving and you will crumble like a house of cards without us..so sell us the higgs share with the "compass reveneu" or you will go bankrupt". (oddly that´s what sisu were telling acl before admin but instaed of relocation it was liquidation )
If acl knew ltd would change owners there would be no reason for them to approach sisu at this current point or maybe they´re just hedging their bets? But it´s not looking good.

Imagine if in august at the eleventh hour SISU are allowed to buy the higgs share with acceptable matchday revenue and we continue at the ricoh ....with a solid income to the club and owning half of our stadium....dont you think most fans would breathe a sigh of relief?

Would be a masterplan by SISU that could only have been made in hell.

However why would there be so many bidders for ltd if they thought sisu would retain it so easily?
That doesn´t make any sense

Worrying thoughts.

More so that you put them in print! Like many of us, postulating and trying to interpret the events.........we may have inadvertently given them food for thought?

Suspect there's more than a touch of truth in your analysis. Personally, I believe that the FL and FA will take the path of least resistance, so Sisu are on a path to 'demonstrate' their ability to provide a ground within acceptable timescales. It does not matter that they may not actually go ahead with it, for example if a deal is struck with ACL or a ground share in order to full fill the fixtures- which are uncomfortably close for the FL.

It's all smoke and mirrors from Timmie and SISU.

Money will talk and they will be bought out shortly. All Timmie and crew are doing is trying to push the price up.

The basis of this theory is inaccurate ................If you believe what TF has said himself...................That they have retained Stadium advisors since somewhere around December.

Could the advisors be Fletcher, Brannigan and Sharp? The same as used by Byng Bong!

SISU will need to convince FL that they are fit and proper owners. Not sure that is as easy as it sounds in this case.

They have already passed the fit and proper test. What they might have to prove though is Coventry will be able to fulfil fixtures in 2013/14 under their stewardship and also that their plans for the club are viable.

Also going back to the start of this thread, I have said before all Sisu statements are reactive. They could have announced these plans 12 months ago if their account is correct. Also if it were true wouldn't they have had the ground share sorted months ago. But don't mistake this as incompetence, they know exactly what they are doing. I suspect the football league will hope the administrator will make decisions so they don't have to.
