No fuckin way.

If you think SISU will have a meeting with genuine fans, let alone suddenly decide that life isn't just about money then you are quite honestly deluded. Sisu are here for their own reasons, not football. How can you not see this?

Completely pointless options. The situation is far more complicated than that. SISU are here for the Ricoh Arena, nothing else. Coventry City and the team (which is the only thing we are all really interested in) will not benefit from them acquiring it. The only way the club can move forward is...

http://www.skybluestalk.co.uk/threads/17266-Thorn-is-a-MAJOR-problem! This bloke clearly has an issue with Thorn. Also, the idea of a forum is to have constructive chat and arguments. Not to make snide remarks to someone who is making a logical point. Evidently there are people who dislike...

Fantastic post, and exactly the message I tried to get accross with this post. I don't love Thorn, but am merely saying that we have no evidence to hate him.

who are you referring to?

And you would quit a well paid job on principle? Thorn is like the rest of us. A scout is hardly the best paid job in football, he has to support a family. Not all people involved in football live on another planet.

Exactly, he is almost certainly not the next fergy, but you never know until he's given the right tools. To criticise him is simply unfair. That's the other thing, if we got rid of Thorn like some people do, who would we get that is more qualified? Like you say, no self respecting/ reputable...

Imagine you are a builder, employed to build a house. However, your superiors take away the bricks to build the house, leaving you with an impossible task. The people paying for you to build the house are whine, complain and blame you, but it is completely out of your hands that you cannot...

I remember when the ''Kean out'' thing was at its peak... it appeared everywhere. I was watching the darts and a Kean out banner was in the crowd, seen every time the cameras panned to the crowd. I would suggest something similar. It would be a fairly big operation, but i'm talking in the back...

Completely agree with this as I was not saying that money and a more valuable squad = a better squad. What I am saying is that Thorn has done something more valuable in keeping the squad united. Look at Swansea in the Premier League. On paper they have no stand out performers but they work...

Some people on here are very short sighted. Was chatting to some non-cov fans the other day and they think it's a miracle we are even in with a shout at this point. Seriously, we have to stand back and look at what we have - barely anything. If Thorn keeps us up this season then he's done an...

As we come into the last 10 games, I find myself whether to follow my head or heart. My head says that we can give an escape from relegation a decent shot, but will ultimately fall short due to the atrocious away record. Even if we win the 4 home games (unlikely due to the pressure the away...

This is quite frankly a ridiculous statement. You may be in a position where you can afford to go to the football regardless of the price, others are not so fortunate. What you are saying here is that you wouldn't want to be associated with people that are in a poorer financial situation than...

Realistically, we are looking at an average attendance of 10,000, meaning we need probably want 12,000 available seats to make these areas look full. I would suggest opening ONLY: Blocks 28-31 (front 35 rows, leaving approximately 15 or so empty) Blocks 18+22 (front 35 rows) Blocks 19-21...
