    In theory, we should cost less, but then there is SAT (Sisu Added Tax).

    Sisu's for allowing Wasps in.

    Fifty Years Ago Today- Something Amazing Happened!

    With JH anything was possible. It was also a time when any team in the top flight could win the league, Ipswich and Derby for example.

    If we finish below second next season it will be our lowest ever finish since joining the league nearly 100 years ago.

    Better the devil you know?

    You also need to look at what was happening that season. We were losing, the football was terrible. It was only Mowbray coming in at the end of the season that saved us. Look at the figures Wolves were getting when they were in the third and forth division. I remember Blues scraping 4K for a...

    Fifty Years Ago Today- Something Amazing Happened!

    Fifty years ago today "The Midlands match of the century" as Jimmy Hill called it , took place at Highfield Road. What a day and what a game! The official attendance was 51400 but no one knows how many were really there as some of the gates, closed half a hour before kick of, were broken down...

    I've just had a look on the above statistics site. Since 1967 we have had 5 single figure final positions (top 9). This includes the 16 years since we left the top division when we have finished 8th twice. City fans have had nothing to get excited about apart from the two cup victories. To...

    Point out the times we have been successful ,as in winning games and you will see decent attendances. Why do some people have such a downer on the people of their City and county?

    Your point is that with or without Sisu our attendances wouldn't go up by much. I disagree. We have had big attendances in the past on a consistent basis( not just one off games) and it will happen again. Sisu going in itself would be a boost. Sisu going and some success on the field would see...

    Have a look at average attendances for the first few Ricoh seasons. This is fans turning up to watch a team going nowhere and with no success since 1987.

    Wouldn't he be hammered then for being presumptuous that his bid was being accepted? I am sure Tim and friends would have something to say about holding meetings before a deal is agreed. He has already mentioned that they would try and arrange a longer term deal at the Ricoh and that the academy...

    Twenty odd thousand regulars when Sisu took over. Why wouldn't they at least come back? All we need is some success.

    Rumour: Hoffman and Elliot takeover negotiations

    That was the impression I got from last week, no discussion. You would think that the way it would work is the buying party makes an offer, the selling party say no, we want this figure and then the negotiations take place over the middle ground. As far as I can tell Sisu have not made it clear...

    Rumour: Hoffman and Elliot takeover negotiations

    The object of the exercise is to get rid of Sisu. If that means we are paying them off for a few years I don't care. At least we can look forward to the future. I just want our club back and for Fisher and co to be receding bad memories. If someone else comes in and pays Sisu off, so long as...

    It's a shame that someone from CRFC doesn't just come out and say this as it would put an end to all of the nonsense and mean that Sisu really have no where to hide when questioned on where the club will play. They will have to really have a plan or admit that there really isn't one.

    Rumour: Hoffman and Elliot takeover negotiations

    What I mean is that if Hoffman and co said the assets were worth 3 million or whatever a proper valuation sets that figure at, I don't think that Sisu would accept it. I think that they would want more than that. If they knew that one or more of the investors were high wealth individuals, I...
