Name me a pawn shop that would do that! Then prove it with your own prized posession. To them it's just money. They have no emotional attachment.

It would at the time have bought in relatively great riches - additional match revenue for sell out crowd for a start...cemented some of the now missing thousands perhaps. In the grand scheme we may not be in the perilous position we now are. On the other hand the additional revenue has to be...

Are we to imagine you selling your car...& someone offers you what you think is a reasonable offer. You say - "well...before I accept your bid, I'll talk to this other bloke who might want to make the same offer as I'd rather sell it to him"

The team nor the club were/are the issue - I think it is more likely the team/club's owners attitude & approach to gaining the deal that is acceptable to them (& bugger anyone else) that is the issue.

In an effort to be fair (ish) to Liverpool fans - had that been a one off incident we would likely have still been in Europe. We have the Vile, Liverpool, Leeds & others to thank. That specific incident was just the final straw.

I must admit one of the best comments I read on a fanzine was regards the Black/Reid thing. Something about given the way we had been playing it's a bit like sacking Van Gogh & getting Rolf Harris is to finish the ceiling! A dreadful decision.

I don't know & nor do you. None of it matters now anyway. The deal has been done. We have no stadium & no great revenue stream - but we do have what appear greedy manipulative owners that seem intent on reducing us to & consolidating us as a reasonably well supported mid - low table L1 side.

As soon as it became clear that it was available for the right bid

On point 1...They had the opportunity to match it but they asked for (in the former of some additional unacceptable conditions) MORE - never entirely satisfied unless they get the better side of the deal!

So it appears that SISU are more than happy to spend millions on taking us into administration (they put up a front, made demands - & their bluff was called) & continuing legal fees...They could've just stumped up the money & bought the stadium almost 2 yrs ago. But no...They had to press &...

Unless an occasional romp into L1 play-offs is the limit of your ambition.

What is it with SISU? Why are they so concerned about Coventry taxpayers instead of the decisions they have made that have been bad for the things they own & those that have emotional investment in them?

What cheerleading is that? I thought I was pretty much lone voice with my "good luck to them" stance. I mean I don't feel for wasps at all. I believe that those who support Coventry RFC & people from all over can choose freely to go watch them if they so wish...you know like most of us chose to...

Maybe another MAJOR statement by us the fans is needed.

Trouble is CCC represent the interests of the people of Coventry...the majority of whom care more about Man U to, Liverpool, Chelsea & Arsenal than they do CCFC

Well I wish them every success. Look at Coventry RFC's run recently. Inspired to do better...& compete with Wasps. I wish THEM even better success! Ultimately it all raises the profile & highlights the potential for support in the city. Maybe it'll inspire a good owner to come forward that will...

I fear you're right. Maybe I differ from many in that I doubt SP is really the problem. My suspicion is that he is very closely policed in the transfer market & might usually end up with a third choice (but right price) player after others meddle. If he were replaced it would only be with...

No worries...I was sorta in a hurry when replying. Didn't mean to come over as narked ☺

Yes most boxers get in the ring risking a battering but go in to do battle with pride (Audley Harrison's latter career?) Many highest level boxers these days are all too easily convinced by promoters/managers that avoiding certain perceived dangerous opponents is the best thing to do. Froch had...

For me - Jo Pavey always the nearly athlete for many years...never given up trying to better herself - & a bit like Kelly Holmes of old this year she came good with the Euro Gold. Inspirational stuff. Otherwise Carl Froch - anyone prepared to go through hell to train in order to get a potential...
