Stuart Linnell here, if anyone wants to talk (2 Viewers)

[Godiva]

On here for about half an hour if anyone wants to talk. No problem if you don't.

Question 1: Could you please come here the day before you know you will be interviewing a stakeholder. You could then collect questions we like asked and answered from that person.

Question 2: Would it be possible for you to arrange a live debate between sisu(Fisher), ACL and the council?

Question 3: Would it be possible for you to have an independant accountant/auditor go through the clubs accounts and explain in layman terms what has happened financially since sisu took over?

[Flying Fokker]

FYI I'm not going to any ground outside Cov.. Tell that to the Fisher King

 

[DaleM]

Disgraceful and very, very sad.

Thanks for the reply.

 

[Macca]

Because it was an England autographed football which I won then gave it you back to auction on goldrush day on mercia
all I want to know what colour it was.

White with ink on it

Tim Fisher has said twice in interviews with me (& may have said as much others) that Sisu made horrendous errors in the early years of their ownership. As I understand it, that is why the person then leading for them at CCFC is no longer involved.

Only in the EARLY years !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[ccfc92]

I hope it isn't but I believe it is and anyone who does not take it seriously is being foolish.

but would you not agree that the politics are hard to follow, so the average fan deserve to know exactly what happens in black and white terms? rather than political/financial terms

 

[Grendel]

Westies. Still have two.

Ok I believe it's you

 

[lifelongcityfan]

do you believe tim fisher to be sincere?

 

[Flying Fokker]

Ok Stuart, thanks for coming on here. If you were a betting man. What do you think the outcome will be?

 

[jas365]

How many fans do you honestly think will attend home games next season if they are played outside Coventry (let's assume Walsall for now)?

 

[Flying Fokker]

Would you travel?

That's true he has, look at the club website and his answers to questions about the rent etc. Will try and find it but on my tablet at the moment and not working well with the club site.

 

[SLOnAir]

what errors exactly? its all to bland..like a politician saying sorry...why didnt you ask him to be more specific? and what lessons have they learnt?

As I understand it, there were errors in their due diligence before taking over the club and many errors in the running of the club thereafter, but - again - at this stage there are legal reasons that maki it difficult to report without someone going on the record about it. Believe me, attempts are made most days to get those issue - and others - aired, but people can not be forced to talk.

 

[quinn1971]

Are you not in a position then to maybe get involved to make sure this doesn't happen.The telegraph have got involved.

Could you answer this one..

 

[bigfatronssba]

Would it not have been possible to have had Tim Fisher and Peter Knatchbull-Hugessen on at the same time yesterday?

Does Tim Fisher realise the implications of taking CCFC out of the city and that it will kill any remote chance Sisu have of ever getting their money back?

Why does CWR treat CCFC Holdings as though it is still in control of the club?

Is there a date that CCFC must inform the Football League of its ground for next season?

 

[Noggin]

I was more impressed with your interview of fisher the other day but you need to follow up and challenge the answer to questions when they are obviously false, or just spin.

 

[SLOnAir]

Ok I believe it's you

Most kind. I thought you were going to ask for my inside leg measurement!

 

[Bassman]

Well Mr Linell, if it is you, in most people's opinion you've nailed your colours to SISUs post quite clearly.

Whether this is due to a genuine belief that you think they know what's best for the club (which I find odd given 5 years+ of their repeated mismanagement), or whether it has more to do with vested interest due to your match day work for the club I don't know. But quite honestly how any genuine fan can sit and support the shocking behaviour of SISU since they became involved its the club I can't fathom.

And I would be expecting any true Sky Blue fan to be supporting keeping Coventry City in Coventry, a position put forward by ACL and seemingly opposed the posturing Mr Fisher.

As it is, you seem to be acting as a SISU mouthpeice / apologist and as such, putting yourself in direct opposition to the large majority of City fans. Perhaps if you can enlighten us as to the reasons for your ongoing support for Mr Fisher your position might be more credible.

 

[Flying Fokker]

Now SIsu are not the only game in town........are you more optimistic about a positive outcome. Does SIsu still cut the mustard?

 

[Consett-Stu]

You could post on your twitter account you're on here taking Qs. Just a thought

 

[Colin1883]

Do you think Mr Appleton is doing a good job?

Thanks for previous reply...

No. Peter K-H declined to come on at all at first. I would love to chair a debate with all parties together. Not likely at the moment, I fear, but we will keep trying.

Until definitely stated otherwise, CCFC Ltd is in administrations, not Holdings, and the latter still claims ownership of the club. No one has yet shown that can be contradicted.

I believe the date for next seasons arrangement is imminent, but off the top of my head here and now I don't honestly know what it is.

 

[SLOnAir]

do you believe tim fisher to be sincere?

I have no reason not to.

 

[Flying Fokker]

Is this forum as bad as you thought a few weeks ago? : )

 

[SLOnAir]

White with ink on it

Your memory of that event is obviously fresher than mine, but thank you for your charity donation.

 

[diggerdaley]

If CCFC Ltd is'nt the football club why did we lose 10 points ?

 

[Flying Fokker]

Moving from the Ricoh makes no sense to me... Economically it is a no hopes because fewer fans will follow. 3000? What is your view on how many will follow?

 

[SLOnAir]

Ok Stuart, thanks for coming on here. If you were a betting man. What do you think the outcome will be?

I fear that the Sisu plan to build elsewhere is most likely as we sit here tonight, but the way this story moves, who knows? The problem (well, one of them) is no one can be sure what the administrator has to sell, so anyone pinning their hopes on a new owner may be disappointed.

 

[SLOnAir]

Thanks for the advice.

 

[SLOnAir]

Maybe 4,000, if that.

Would you travel?

I will, to do my job.

 

[lifelongcityfan]

do you think fiher knows that the number at home games is more likely to be 2000 and that season ticket sales will drop to c1000? are sisu prepared tp find this and also invest in a side capable of getting out of the 3rd divusion?
