SISU saved CCFC from admin. Now we are a division lower, the debt has doubled, the gates have halved and they want us to go cap in hand to any tinpot ground that will have us. Oh, and we are in admin. Saviours like this. The cure is worse than the disease.

I was being ironic or sarcastic. Of course the council cannot be responsible for how a company runs itself but some of our fans still fall for the smokescreen that it's the rent that is the issue.

TF, at the forum on Friday, claimed we have broken even on transfers, in other words they have got back anything they paid out. So please stop pretending they have spent any money. They haven't ... Except to pay wages and operating costs, which must be lower than income. Do the maths, it really...

SISU are the only game in town I blame the council. SISU are the only game in town. I blame the council. SISU are ...... Sorry, I just woke up from a drunken haze dream. What have I missed?

I blame ACL and CCC for our inability to play a passing game.

Our club is what the money men decide it is.

TF can we have our ball back please?

Ah, there's the rub Ambition, aspiration, dreaming of glory. What being a football fan is all about. A football fan, by definition, has to believe, have faith, otherwise it's just 22 geezers kicking a ball about a piece of grass. Old fashioned, no doubt, but without the "dream" football...

Maybe because they control the only football stadium in Coventry and most of us think doing a deal with ACL is better than not doing one. I think you agree.

The sky blue is OK but it would be class without the silly slash line across the chest.

Ah but we must be grateful that we will still have a club and gather in a non league stadium to watch a non league team or be berated for being glory hunters who deserted the club.

Can everyone stop launching these threads which ask about the future. It is much more fun to argue over tiny scraps of information over who is TO BLAME. We British much prefer that to looking forwards. Anyway, it doesn't seem to matter to CCFC, FL or the Administrator what any of us think. We...

Too many assumptions in there for me to unravel. I don't think our fans need any more excuses not to go. Fans have to see some hope and aspiration. We were in decline before SISU but they have drained the life out of what was left. There is no chance we will be in the top half whilst our...

I am getting at the fact that we could be a successful club and get higher attendances if the club is making progress, on an upward trajectory, something, by your own admission, you have no experience of. I assure you it is possible as countless other clubs have shown. To your last point..about...

I expect SISU to be named, get the club out of Admin, pressurise ACL to do a new deal and play a brinkmanship game about where we will play until the last possible moment. After that they will continue to run the club blaming everyone else for why we have to field a team of kids and crocks...

That's because you cannot remember beyond a decade. With positive owners CCFC could build slowly and if promotion was achieved the average gate would rise to 15k and beyond. It is about stability and slow progress. SISU will achieve the opposite.

I've gone for PH4 only because he has already gained the confidence of the Coventry mafia, which may of course be a bad thing, and this bid includes some fans consultation. Also I distrust big corporations by instinct. I will be happy if Byng bid succeeds as long as we are not left with SISU...

That's true but we have no influence over that. If it happens we have to hold new owners to account and make sure old mistakes are not repeated. FWIW I think new starts are important and new owners would definitely be held to account now that so many of our fans have scrutinised events and will...

Excellent point. TF throws out so many statements designed to confuse it is great when someone, like you, points out inconsistencies. So what is the rent strike about then, except to wriggle out of a debt? TF contends that ACL cannot give CCFC the revenue anyway, so why has he criticised ACL...

Looks like WBA fans who have sailed free from all this may have cause to be concerned. Chairman has just Transferred his 60% stake from Ltd to a new company Holdings. Sound familiar?
