I started in exactly the same position as you - if anything, I was maybe more positive - I expected SISU to bring a serious degree of professionalism to the running of the club. At first, I thought they were doing well - I could see what the plan was, but then for whatever reason Plan A was...

I think that in an obscure way, I was trying to say that considered arguments from both sides are fine. There is an increasing (or so it appears to me) tendancy on the site to dismiss people's comments using exagerated comments taken out of context (e.g. someone once said that AT could have...

Don't you think that it's reasonable for people to form (and dare I even say change) their opinion, based on the actions of the object of that opinion? (I appreciate that you haven't explicitly criticised people for moving from a supportive to a critical opinion of SISU, but I don't think I'm...

Goes some way towards offsetting the £4m lost through relegation.... :D

This has to be nonsense. ACL have offered a reduction to £400k. TF has been posturing for circa £200k. It would appear then that the maximum gap is £200k. The attendance at the last match was circa 11k. Nene Park holds 6.5k. Given that 2k of these are standing, their pricing will have to...

I think that if you asked any Cov fan if they'd prefer the club to pay a higher or lower rent, they'd go for a lower one. I think that many fans are unhappy with the way that TF/SISU have handled the negotiations, but would still want a lower rent. I think that the real issue is that many...

I suggest you re-read his comment. Perhaps you could apologise then.

Just as a matter of interest who do you want to stop making up lies and which lies were you referring to?

But that's about as scary as it gets.........

Quite correct. ACL should view the club as a community asset in exactly the way that SISU do. :facepalm:

Yes - that's SISU's job!!!

They might "tell ACL to get stuffed" but they'll still have to pay what's due under their contract - or face the consequences.

Tommy Hutch naturally - although in those days most of us weren't sitting to start with!!

Have to disagree there Otis. The owners in the States are even more financially focused than those over here - I don't believe they'd agree to the "regulation" of their squads if there was any risk that they could be relegated and so could lose out on the very lucrative revenue streams...

But it works because they have a closed league (no promotion and relegation) so the clubs can live with it as they can't be relegated.

My Dad came from Coventry. I can't remember a time before I supported them - it's always been so! First game I can remember was losing 2-1 at home to Leeds in (I think) 1969.

I'm not sure which article you're referring to but I'd guess that any £30m quoted would have been based on the sum of the three £10 millions noted above.

Promised to pay off all our debts and give £30 m for new players - think that's a figment of your imagination. As I recall, the proposal that was talked about was £10m to buy out SISU (including all their loans), £10m to cover running costs and £10m for players.

As we agreed though, principles are principles :)

But that's the point Lord. My principle is that if you've served your time you should be rehabilitated into society and as you say, principles are principles.
