What should the local authority have done then? I have this old fashioned idea that in a democracy the local authority tries to look after all and carries out the wishes of the majority. I doubt the majority of the 300k Coventrians would be happy about the Ricoh being gifted away. Also I find...

Nice little ground sitting empty right now just over the border in Leicestershire.

And if a large retail park is near Coventry then Coventry Council can legitimately object. Nuneaton and Bedworth borough objected (unsuccessfully) about the size of Arena Tesco on the grounds it would entice shoppers away from Bedworth Town Centre.

See I read that as "We know sisu haven't really got any money, so please go to games otherwise we're going to look stupid when they go bust again".

Back then it was done for the right reasons, I.e. for the benefit of the club, not the owner. Colour change wasn't really significant, blue to sky blue, also sky blue had been the teams colour in the past anyway. Song is neither here or there really. Ours was a rebranding that was...

Don't think anyone is arguing that, well im certainly not. More just that if players are sold, then all funds need to be reinvented into the team, otherwise Tim will have told a porky.

Or that for some reason Ffp no longer applies to ccfc, just the 91 other clubs.

Two questions. Are you saying the OP "made up" that waggot stated on the radio that players will be sold? Are you saying that Fisher "made up" the statement that sisu will cover the losses?

Your right, why change a successful system eh?

They said that they will fund the losses. Therefore, taking them at their word, if a big offer come in I would expect them to take it, but every penny would have to be reinvested in the squad.

You haven't learnt anything from sisu have you? Only sisses apologise for when they've done wrong. Man up and weasel out of it by blaming someone else.

Also, if they can't afford to keep hold of a few crap players, how can they afford to build a new stadium?

That's not sisu funding, its the club disposing of fixed assets. Its no different to what I was expecting, but as the op has pointed out, the comments made by fisher will be shown to be bullshit if players are sold.

That sisu will fund the losses. Not my words.

Still a piss poor crowd. 2700 city fans at what is traditionally one of the biggest days of the sporting calendar. Its pathetic to even consider that as good.

See I don't really understand your point. What your saying is "Previous regimes mismanaged the club, so its ok for sisu to as well". Well most of us learn from the mistakes of the past. Perhaps if we acted 10-15 years go we wouldn't be in this mess now. You seem happy for sisu to do whatever...

Such as Eastwood?

Football yob mentality. I dont care about anything or anyone so long as I can watch my team.
