Yes, I bet fans of Coventry City are pleased we have been relegated. Superb one-upmanship, that'll show 'em.

For fans like Valiant, nothing is more important than getting one over complete strangers on message boards.

I don't get your point valiant, no one loves sisu. Some of us just have a belief that fans cannot influence board policy so have to focus on other areas. Also there is no credible alternative that has declared their hand.

A strange OP.
However I am also concerned that SISU have declared their hand

The bid was deemed unworthy as is the owners right. Also none of us know who the investors were and how they were going to make the business work. Jo dinsah budded for the club. I could make a bid, so could you. Where was the substance behind it?
Certain people on here stuck up for sisu at every oportunity this season,they wouldn't have a bad word said against them,mocking the protests etc. At least we tried to do something,unlike you spineless sods. They ripped the team apart and sat back and done naff all to help. The 'saviours'at sisu have relegated this club to the 3rd tier.

There is nobody who wants SISU out more than me as I think they are destroying the heart and soul of a once proud club. Although I don't agree with all of the views of the posters you mention, I would say they are all very reasoned in their arguments and from what I've read none of them are card carrying SISU supporters. It could be said they are just looking at the bigger picture. Godiva and Thorn in my side on the other hand have wound me up no end with their consistent unwavering pro SISU propoganda and to the former I ask; in view of you stating that the club was in no danger of relegation this season, that you'd prefer the club to remain in SISU's hands rather than be taken over and that SISU were a safe pair of hands... has your view altered at all? Do you still think Len's texting subs brainwave was a "great idea"?

Lack of investment in players and management have led to this and it's been coming for a long time, lack of interest from the city in giving active support is the major factor.
Valiant find one post on here from any mentioned above or from me that has actively defended the owners stance.

But they are still holding talks as of a couple of weeks ago. I agree that we know very little about the investors and anyone taking over the club would surely look at the way sisu are running it and not go down the same road.Id like to think that they have a buisness plan and hopefully a more sustainable one than that of Sisu. I guess we need to bide our time now and wait for Hoffman to speak.

Sure! But then who would be brave enough to knock on the door and say: 'I want to be Coventry City Manager'?

Exactly. It's either Thorn or Carsley or the academy manager.
No one wants to now admit their sympathies for SISU...............but I'd like to bet if we had stayed up they would have been crowing about how they had turned this club round financially and we can all now look forward to a season in the Championship with our costs under control. They spent nothing, cut everything and predictably we got relegated with a very poor side and { cheap} inexperienced manager. They are now staying silent while not paying the bills and returning the accounts to the authorities. As it stands they have not agreed to continue with the club at all, I'm sure they are doing their sums with the £3.2 million of lost TV revenue and working out whether to cut and run.

The problem is valiant is you think everyone not with you is against you.
I didn't think the protest outside the ground would do much good and I said so. I was also naughty enough to say that I was going to attend the match and buy a season ticket for next year too, which is exactly what I've done.
If you're "not going again until SISU are gone" then good for you, you do it that way. Me, I feel like the team needs my support especially after relegation, and that's what I'll do. And I really don't care if you or anyone else disagrees. If that automatically makes me someone who worships at the Temple Of SISU then I'm perfectly happy for your child's brain to believe it's so.
And finally, no one is happy with relegation you fool.

I could offer £1 as well...it doesn't mean that the current incumbents have to sell to me? I could literally offer a £1....we don't know what was offered by Hoffman (other than pure conjecture) and SISU are within their rights to hold onto us if they don' think the offer is that great.
Not sticking up for them, just stating a fact...
If you want to get a season ticket then that's up to you,its the attitude of people like you towards people like me who piss me off. How dare we say anything bad about the trash who have took us to league 1 eh? You continually mock those who say anything bad against our shitty owners. Your saviours from London will get us back up though won't they!!

No, I don't. Where have I mocked? You obviously know what I written better than I do, so if I've disagreed with you then I've disagreed with you. That's what it's all about. Just because ALL fans don't want to protest and hold up banners, it doesn't mean they don't care or support the club. I handed out thousands of anti Richardson flyers at Highfield Road and a lot of people refused to take one. Some even threw it at me. That's what it's like.
"Attitude towards people like me"? I think you have issues.

Four years ago we were all happy with sisu they saved us from delegation,we were grateful to Joe Elliott for getting us a last ditch investor,however sisu did lie when they had control and started there plan to empty the contents of our club to make money,what did piss me off is this and when I say this I may piss some people off however the people who got sisu onboard soon fucked off when they realised sisu weren't being true to there promises,ranson Elliott and Hoffman all moved aside resigned whatever you want to call it,they should've done something years ago instead of leaving the in the hands of sisu and jumping ship,so i can understand by sides of the argument but i think the blame lies with those that brought them here and left us to be reduced to this mess,the worrying thing going forward is these people who abandoned us now want to get another consortium in,and if this goes wrong they will abandon us again,for me i would prefer an outsider to come in with no connection to the previous boards

You have slagged anyone who dared say anything about Thorn or the tossers who own us. You handed out anti Richardson leflets and yet say only positives to the losers who have riped the guts out of our club and sent us down due to their lack of care or passion for our club.
Well you can give them as much of your money as you want but I reserve the right to hold on to mine until I see a owner who shows that if I give them my support they will support the team.
One last note how are they going to improve the team with your season ticket money when it is already been spent?

Sorry but I have not been happy with shito sine their first full season of owning us. They have lied to us every closed season and January transfer window just to milk more money out of us fans and give it a couple of days and the same bull will come out. We will buy great players or bring in quality loan players and some are so blinded by loyalty or who just deluded they will hand over more cash.
I did say at first we were happy as we were told they wouldn't let us go through another relegation fight but it was lie after lie and this is the end product,i just hope hoff n Joe have learnt there lesson,

Show me anywhere that abyone has stated in the last couple of years that SISU have bot bullshitted to us and then I will consider any of your comments. Until then can you tell me how anyone can take you seriously?

To be fair, Valiant is correct in one aspect....on the CET forum some (i.e Torchy, Half time orange, and some cyber warrior from Southam) were very pro-SISU and were very verbally aggressive towards anyone who raised suspicions about their motives. I think the phrase three wise monkeys was used at one stage...in that they heard no evil, saw no evil or spoke no evil when it came to SISU.
Now I'm not saying that it is right to slate fellow fans for their views, but there was a vocal element who championed SISU's cause...particularly when criticising those who were reluctant to give up their shares (in some cases held for generations) to these blood-sucking wankers SISU.:thinking about:
