    The best way to get rid of SISU

    For that to happen though you would have to assume that the driving force was the well being/success of the team on the pitch and not ££££s and break even wouldn't you.......

    Match Thread Coventry v Gillingham Match Thread - Saturday 18th Feb

    Isn't the target to win our home games or at very least win nearly all but not lose any at home. 8 of those left I believe. Something most fans can feel part of too. That would give us some chance of picking a few points away from home because of the confidence boost. Small steps that build...

    The best way to get rid of SISU

    It's a chicken or egg situation isn't it. Which comes first the fans turning up or the team actually showing consistent levels of success. (Winning more than they are losing or unbeaten at home would be good starts) I do not think it is a realistic proposition to expect people in their...

    Simon Jordan on talksport

    He says he was interested, well you could take it that he is very unlikely to be able to take it any further after the comments he has made. Kind of safe to say and hint what he likes after that then really. Just because he says he was interested doesn't actually mean it was ever for sale

    Should SISU be summoned to parliament?

    I think people are assuming that this would be a lengthy detailed examination of decisions that SISU have made. Most unlikely and also unlikely that the consideration of CCFC would last more than an hour. These parliamentary committees are not open ended in terms of time available Mr Ashley was...

    Should SISU be summoned to parliament?

    Wasn't ashley summoned because his company had allegedly broken employment law by not paying minimum wage to his employees ? Or was it other reasons? What law have our woeful owners breached? That's the get out isn't it ? Sisu might be despised football club owners but what laws have they...

    Alan Curbishley on the Danny Baker Show

    The caveat on that of course is how the owners of the Ricoh affect the potential fan base, city fans might not like it but that effect can not be ignored. Yes football is the bigger wealthier game but rugby is not as small as it used to be. There is now serious & organised competition in the...

    Alan Curbishley on the Danny Baker Show

    Are we a potentially massive club? It would be nice to think we were . We could be potentially small club just as likely, but I would say on balance we have a greater potential for the foreseeable future to be a club that stagnated and simply struggles to achieve a low level existence. I simply...

    Alan Curbishley on the Danny Baker Show

    Just to be contrary if the argument to get to premiership holds then so too the reverse in achieving league 2. Doesn't matter if we are a big club in league 2 we will have lost fans, got smaller, damaged potential and increased the cost of recovery to fulfilling this big club potential, making...

    Alan Curbishley on the Danny Baker Show

    Awful lot of our "fan base" are saying they are walking away from regular attendance next season so what exactly is the size of our "fan base". The fan base fluctuates with the fortunes of the team it is not a fixed thing. Currently it is, and has been for some time, in steep decline. There is...

    Should SISU be summoned to parliament?

    not sure what it would achieve. SISU run the club yes, made some decisions that fans do not like but as far as I can see nothing illegal, then said we are not wasting any more money on it. A group of largely superficially informed MP's are not going to get any in depth answers. In any case we...

    Alan Curbishley on the Danny Baker Show

    we were a large club.............. never massive............. and by what definition are we even a medium sized club now? Seems the only definition is "potential" to attract a significant number of fans sometimes

    Welcome to the shadowplay

    Understand what you are saying Grendel, do not see why Oggy should get special mention though its not like he hasn't been closely involved in what has gone on with the team over more than a decade Would I prefer staying in L1 well yes, but it is increasingly unlikely so why not just enjoy a day...

    Fisher

    And what is it you know that some of us haven't already figured out? There is a way out of this that could work that doesn't involve administration/liquidation etc or the club being involved in JR2

    I would think it was all about the success in the semi final. Had we lost then they would have shrugged their shoulders and said it was "more bad news for CCFC what did you expect"

    An olive branch...

    I think that the best olive branch they will get (if you are going to call it that) is that the protests will die down for a while because of a little bit of success. Of course it will be put forward that well the fans did it in the cup why not do it in the League, and many will buy in to that...
