When the first instinct is to discredit rather than disagree, there's something wrong there. If there is something suspicious about the timing or circumstance, that's all it is; suspicion. Similarly if I'm quiestioning Richard Key's motives as self-promotion, at the same time I'm also well...

People disagreeing with him isn't the issue, it's the insinuation that it's not even his opinion and he's just been thrust into the limelight as a mindless mouthpiece that I don't like. That's what I'd consider disrespecting the man and his character with little basis (yet).

I'm not trying to be controversial at all, I'm just flabbergasted that even John Sillett isn't beyond character assassination in the name of 'SISU puppet' Anyone disagreeing with Sillett about his views is fine, but to assert that there's a sinister agenda as if it's some kind of fact or that...

Whoever was on would be asked about the boycott. What else would come up on a show about Coventry City that lasts more than 30 seconds? How likely is it that people who were set on boycotting would now think 'well Sillett's not keen, all of a sudden I'm content with SISU'?

Saying he's not keen on a radio show listened to by a relative handful of fans isn't really involvement, and barely counts as a public statement. If he's fronting ticket drives and giving multiple interviews against the boycott that'll be different, but for now it's a fairly innocuous comment...

How can you possibly know what he's trying to do? You're doing little more than making assumptions to undermine him purely because he's saying things you don't want to hear.

Do you not see the irony in saying this while criticising John Sillett for saying something you don't happen to like?

We all know the rules - if their HQ isn't in a hollowed-out mountain, in space or on an airship, they're no Bond villains.

Speaking of which, Isaias owes me at least a couple more games after I got his name printed on my shirt that season.

So John Sillett is all of a sudden a puppet for their bidding with no free will of his own and no strength of conviction, is that what we're saying?

I haven't answered your question, I'm questioning your harsh assumption. Believe it or not, SISU aren't an evil network fronted by a Bond villain assimilating formerly good people to do their bidding. If Sillett felt strongly in favour of the boycott, I don't believe that he could be coerced...

Why? Because the insinuation that an obvious football man responsible for the club's best day to date is now little more than a plant for SISU, based on him saying something you don't like. Maybe as a former footballer and manager, he knows what he's talking about with regards fans affecting...

I think you might be slightly paranoid on this one.

Depends. I'm not listening, but was it 'here's snoz with an important announcement' or was he just there as a guest and happened to be asked about a current event?

I don't see how he's sold out or being told what to say, maybe he just doesn't personally agree with the boycott and that's all there is to it?

I reckon Yaya Toure's saved up for six weeks and it's him.

You'll never end the bickering! It'd be nice to see people fall out over whether we should bother signing Kaka or not, mind you. I vote an early 'yes'

He can exclude teams contravening the rulings from playing in continental competition.

Can I get a pre-emptive request in for the people fond of making hilarious nicknames for everyone related to the board - avoid the obvious here please.

Both Oggy and Les Sealey were born a few weeks apart, but both a few months before the Munich disaster.
