Many were to blame not least the support shown by most supporters to the manager who clearly was never ever up to the job.

Really? Losing our own ground wasn't a more devastating point in our history? As Churchill said "I will be sober in the morning, but you madam will still be ugly". We can get promoted again but we can never get HR back again.
As for SISU, well, at least they admitted it. Richardson never did.

So you actually think the previous regime which refused to pay money to other clubs for debts owed, had an overdue inland revenue bill for £5 million and had not paid local xeeditors for months were better?
Couldn't agree more. Regardless of who owns the club, owning the stadium makes us a more viable proposition. Be that Sisu staying or someone else taking over.
The pure anti Sisu is clouding people minds about the bigger picture, which to be blunt, is the safety and progression of Coventry City.
exactly I agree, by hook or by crook, so lets not dress it up as anything else.
SISU are doing the wrong thing to achieve the safety and progression of CCFC, thats fine
Apart from the manager, all loan, Bailey already back at Derby McG has one game left (due to suspension)and lets see who we BUY in Jan to help us push for the play offs or even automatic promotion
Just like last season apart from the a different manager saying it (don't mention the T word)
But that is why I get so annoyed by some of your posts. I support CCFC just like you but the people you constantly defend have played a massive roll (not all) in trying to destroy OUR club. They are putting OUR club at risk by trying to play their hardball games with ACL who just want them to pay what they agreed when they took over the club. Yes re-negotiate the rent, but pay what we owe with that condition added on.
That will be Hollands pies.....and yes, they are the best. Can't buy them here in Scunny either.
The original rent arrangement was always going to prevent this club moving forward.
Out of interest did you think the same of Elliot and co when they couldn't be bothered to pay fees owed to other clubs as well as the inland revenue?
Yes I did because they represent CCFC and just like our current owners gave us a bad rep because of the way they run our club.
How odd. Your previous post puts all the blame at sisu yet now you say the last regime was no better.
So the current owners are not all to blame then?
All of us on here want nothing but the best for our club. Problem is.....some of us can't agree that the behaviour of our "saviours", is either correct or moral. They are acting like bully boys towards a charity and the local council. That is not the way to do business if; after all negotiations are concluded; you want to retain a good working relationship. Sisu have made massive mistakes so far in their ownership of our club and I have yet to read an apology from them. To read such would at least be a starting point.
You said we have no intention of keeping McG, no offence, but you've made yourself look like an idiot, with such a stupid claim!
We'll try to keep McG, by offering our best deal, if that's not enough, fair enough, you did well for us. We did try to keep King, we almost did, but Thorn had to feck it up. Sigh.
Can't wait till they issue a winding up order and I hope the club goes into administration also, good on you ACL for standing up to the club. 3 cheers for ACL I say
Got the party food, hats and music ready to go

If you want to slag someone off at least do your homework, or like your backers is it easier to twist things to fit around what you want it to read.
Well we all know the club won't get wound up - but by issuing a winding up order we know that SISU will have to sit up and take note... if they do I will say "well done ACL" for not allowing SISU to walk all over them.
Oh wait, sorry, all that matters in the world is CCFC so naturally all other parties should roll over and are obliged to give us services for free. Stupid of me to forget that.
Yes...but you're not a very good supporter though are you.
I wouldn't say we are obliged to get services for free, but if they offered it for free I certainly wouldn't turn it down. You would probably turn it down though, in fact you are so generous and charitable you would probably offer to pay 10 times the asking price
I'm not slagging you off.
I thought the opening post was pretty dumb. Why compare a ground that was until recently non league as a barometer for our rent.
Ok go to hull and Ipswich and say "they pay about £15,000 a year for this should we be paying £1.2 million"?
Who are my backers by the way?
Make no mistake Macca......we are doing well in spite of Sisu NOT because of them. MR was not their first choice (which is well documented). What evidence is there that they have changed and now have the club's interest at heart?
Not a very good supporter - because I don't support the club in its hard-headed attempts to trample over everyone else? If that's your criteria of being a supporter, probably not.
If you were a German citizen in the 1930s, would you support Hitler? Yes his tactics were a bit dubious, but creating a master race and bringing the Sudetenland back into the Reich made it all worth it, right?
It's well documented in the minds of people who have no idea whatsoever
Some say Ince was first choice but he turned it down due to the "low salary" ... I've never seen any concrete evidence of this though.
Keys on a radio show, I mean its not as if he would have any other agenda to say that is it?
Hitlers tactics were a bit dubious.
Yesterday it was saddam Hussein.
Pol Pot tomorrow?
