Very worrying times ahead (1 Viewer)

[AFCCOVENTRY]

With another one of ATs targets who wanted to join us not able to wait any longer and sign for Swindon it shows to me that we are no where near getting that transfer embargo lifted.

With the CCFC statement a few weeks ago stating they will extend the early bird season ticket prices till the end of this month to give people a chance to decide... looks like it's about to backfire.

Clearly if the transfer ban was being lifted soon then the likes of Collins would have waited as pre-season training starts in 3 weeks.

Once Keogh returns from his honeymoon I doubt very much he will be signing a new contract. His last view would have been to come back from honeymoon and see if the ban was lifted and new players signed. That won't happen.

Keogh and Cranie will be off within weeks and we have no new players in again for a 2nd pre-season in a row.

Thorn said he would walk if there was no backing from SISU. The guy is being taken for a ride and he is deluded himself not to see this.

All in all i fear our first home game of the season with Sheff U will be a hostile environment towards SISU and yet again we go into a season with our minds not focused on football.

All I want is to talk about football again but it seems we have our own Greek tragedy on the cards.

Football seems to have died a long time ago and never in my years of supporting Cov has it been so much about debts, cost cutting etc.

A painful drop from the glory of the premiership years.

There seems to be no end in sight for the misery us fans are enduring right now.

Thats if we have enough players left to field a team.

 

[ccfcway]

pretty sure someone wil blame Thorn for that

 

[wingy]

at least ther'll be a match report in Thursdays CT instead of some cock +bull atrticle !!!!

Also, we won't suffer from international qualifier breaks.As we're league 1 i'm sure they play wether there's a world cup qualifiers or not, so i have found the one big plus for the forthcoming season.
I told you if you look deep enough we would find something.

nice one rev ,just my changing a day of the week we've got two new positives

 

[ccfcway]

yer, england and cov on the same night, 2 reasons to be chearful

 

[SkyBlue_Bear83]

More games and less breaks for a small squad and more pain for us fans. Only a Cov fan could find a positive in that.

I used to enjoy the international break as we couldn't lose.

Shame they wont do the big deal that was on the table

£1 pound handover, a 10 million towards their loans and further money with promotion.

If it carries on there will be no stadium, then no club...........

What they are going to take the stadium with them? The scoundrels!

 

[dongonzalos]

How do you know that was on the table?

We have had a proposal letter from Gary Hoffman and his associates looking to discuss the future of the football club. “We have agreed to meet in the near future to talk through both their intentions and plans and to share our own plans for the future of Coventry City.
“We will devote appropriate time and effort to these discussions - but it will not distract us from our ongoing efforts to improve things on and off the field.”
Hoffman’s first approach earlier in the season was understood to be worth upwards of £30million with £10m set aside for investment in players, £10m to fund on-going losses and £10m towards the purchase of half of the stadium

So it was in a Trinity newspaper. Must be fact then.

SISU should be able to clear things up and tell us the truth................oh maybe not hey

 

[ccfcway]

er, that was jan !

 

[bishbosh]

This post is just an expression of frustration - I am sure that everyone else is thinking this, but I have no one to vent spleen at here!
Why is the club even looking at signing new players considering that we have a transfer embago? It is nonsensical - someone needs to explain to the club powers that be what embargo means. We can't smuggle players in on the black market - I think someone will notice. Who in their right mind will sit around waiting for the embargo to be lifted?

This whole situation of approaching targets is utterly stupid and pointless.

Yet again it is us fans that are suffering...

 

[torchomatic]

The Hoffman Circle. Sounds like a 70s Cold War spy thriller. Rather than the 21st century fantasy that it is.

Not what i heard last night.....SISU are Fcuked,will not do any deals.....Quote from someone in Hoffman circle..:jerkit:s

 

[ccfcway]

we seem to be going round and round the hofman circle

 

[davebart]

Now we are in league 1 £10m would be quite a lot to invest in players, £10m would cover the losses for a year but £10m towards half the stadium?? Hardly.

I would hope any bidder would have a better grasp of finance than that. or bullsh*t.

 

[Ashdown]

What losses? You still think with our current set of employees we are losing money??

 

[aloisiwouldhavescored]

On a trivial note it looks like we've switched to playing our midweek games on wednesdays again .

Have there been some changes to the fixtures already then? On my fixtures list it shows all midweek games home and away on Tuesdays.

Hoping against hope that we will be having some fixtures to fulfil, regardless of what day, that is............

 

[Chipfat]

Never in the clubs history has the club been run so badly or fans been treated with so much disrespect in regards to what is happening. You have AT carrying on as though all is going fine sorting out scotland pre season when players are being touted about and transfer targets are signing elsewhere. You have Fisher who had a bonce back budget last game of the season and since we have to been told to be realistic but yet nothing else or mention to the fans who have brought ST. You have Waggot,, who the fook is he spouting bollocks of the highest order about targets!!!and the long list they have!!!!!!! We have a board that changes monthly we have a holding company set up to rape the club...

The list is endless and this is stuff we know about through digging not SISU coming out and being honest ..... This club has lost the ability to tell or to be believed in anything it says or does and every club and agent knows this throughout the country,, bad times and very worrying times ahead.

Appologies my mistake ,saw it flashed up on a screen somewhere the day they came out ,obviously incorrect ,like many things you read on the web its best to check the source,have to say i always preffered wednesdays but never mind ,it was Adams who switched to Tuesdays i believe.

 

[AFCCOVENTRY]

How things can change overnight after my original post! :claping hands::claping hands:

 

[ccfcway]

not convinced things have changed too much

We have filed accounts, thats all

I was going to miserable and negative.... no point now following all that.

 

[CovLis86]

As others have said, the embargo being lifted doesnt mean we are going to invest in quality replacements. We could still be shipping a few out more than likely. Theres a chance that they already know they are losing cranie/keogh so knew that they had to get it lifted else there would be real problems.

I am quoting the previous poster in the Hoffman circle.
