T 190 Posted October 9, 2008 It is often difficult when you get strong sucessful personalities in the same room. Lack of money also increases the pressures and tensions. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Syteanric 1 Posted October 9, 2008 Bob cooper resigned because he was a prat!I seem to remember him saying at the time that the Belluz sale was made up of appearences and goals for Coventry, he never played the games and never scored the goals so we never got the money!I''d of demoted him to bog cleaner at the club if he was the person who agreed to that!jas :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AndyJR 0 Posted October 9, 2008 I think they simply came in to see if they could make a Football Club into a profit-making business - when they found out that was not possible, they left. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The only mistake we made with that one was the sell on clause which was a percentage of profit. Because he only scored 7 goals for Coventry in a season, of which all but one was a penalty, they only wanted there £6m back from Newcastle - meaning that we didnt get a sell on payment.

ca 1 Posted October 9, 2008 Turners and Delia didn''t agree on the way forward plus the Turners would have liked Cullum to be involved??? Just my theory! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Smudger 0 Posted October 9, 2008 I reckon they wanted Cullum involved... When Delia shown Mr Cullum the door for the second time in the space of 9 months they realised that Delia was never going to let go and they didn''t want to be on her sinking ship.

. 0 Posted October 9, 2008 [quote user="1st Wizard"]Anyone know?[/quote]I would suggest that the Turners were duped into becoming cynical PR lap dogs for Smith...and a public buffer for any likely approach by Peter Cullum. Smith felt that the gullible City fans would be fooled by a small "loan" from a millionaire...and to some extent it worked....until Cullum showed his hand.They finally worked that only one person is allowed to play with the train set....but that others were allowed to watch...at a price.
