Total waste of time and moneyWe need people who will act on the rules of the game, not wasting time talking about it for endless years
The club’s Sisu-appointed chief executive, Tim Fisher, famously told supporters in 2013 that “Sisu is a distressed debt fund and therefore batters people in court”that paragraph "sounds" "along the lines"of a "vulture fund" and i'm not taking the pi$$think the Coventry fans want to get using this" phrase" ASAP as it's got a lot of "mileage" and "discredit" to the "alleged owners" of such a "fund."https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vulture_funda good question to ask the owners is "are you a vulture fund" "Coventry Vultures"

Wow, that's two busy days!! I assume they bought the debt from other creditors, right?
I get what everybody's saying and yes that's something that happens all the time sadly with CVA'S in every form of failing business.However that doesn't get away from the fact that debt whatever it was sold for was accrued in the first place.Whilst I accept it needs investigating it wont bring Bury back as a league club..For me what really needs looking at from owners of football league clubs and the EFL is a belt and braces review and new leglisation to stop that happening in the first place.Then that safeguards the other 91...That should be priority no1

That document is in this link here;http://fsf.org.uk/assets/Downloads/Misc/2019/FSA-Proposals-to-improve-football-regulation.pdfWhat's intriguing from our point of view, is that the Bury and Bolton issues would never have happened if our tightened up governance policy had been in place.
FSF I would imagine.
it stinks to high heaven! The club - or more accurately its dedicated supporters and the local community have been shafted (as we were all those years ago) by a Dick Turpin figure masquerading as Robin Hood. Anyone involved in the fiasco - and I include those with professional responsibility and who are in authority of our game and who may have turned a blind eye or acted with complete incompetence should be brought to task, financially penalised and, if proven, sent to prison. Its a disgrace.I think the actions outlined by SM to investigare the matter are wholly appropriate and should be applauded.Just out of curiosity SM - when you talk about 'we' being involved - who exactly do you mean?
SM, according to talksport the owner confirmed that he was in for £7 .1 million debt that he bought for roughly £70 k and as a creditor would claim the full amount at 25p in the pound, a nice little earner for him.
