I completely agree but I'd also suggest that crowds at CRFC have been helped by Wasps. Those not happy at a London rugby club moving in are more likely to go and watch CRFC to support the genuine local team.
I do feel for Dave Boddy. He seems to have been a positive influence in a lot of ways since he came in but he's stuck in the middle on this one and is essentially powerless. Sisu have their own agenda, and whether the "club" are involved in the action or not it's Sisu's leadership team who are...
The notion that players wouldn't want to sign for us because of Sisu is ridiculous. They couldn't care less. Coventry City is still a big club for this level and is still a pretty big draw, but players will generally go where they can get most money and best prospects. We are still quite high up...
Not 100% true, he definitely played on the wing at times last season.
Also worth noting he's averaged a goal every 124 minutes for us. A goal every 1.3 games. That's pretty reasonable.
I'd love a player like Stockley from Exeter. Think he'd be productive in this team with someone like Chaplin. We clearly lack a bit of presence up front.
First half ok, second not. Blah, blah, excuses about experience, we didn't defend properly. Fleetwood have top strikers (Madden and Evans).
Taking wrong option even in first half.
