15 years ago today Sisu took over CCFC. Would be quite apt if the takeover approval comes through today to draw a line under this period.

skybluereeve · Dec 14, 2022

Any idea how close we are? Thought robins said Monday Tuesday?

rexo87 · Dec 14, 2022

Saw someone mention it would be approved same time as EFL approved the ground license so if that’s the case should be today

And to think I celebrated by opening a bottle of Champagne that not.

Not the last time I was a bit premature.

2 wins at Wembley and a league title too, the Glory Years. Thanks for the memories Joy, i'll never forget watching likes of Barrett, Maguire-Drew and Darius Henderson gracing the array of pitches we happened to grace over these golden years.

Dont need them mate. We've made progress, no-one can argue that.

hill83 · Dec 14, 2022

It’s been shite overall, and we can joke. But the last few years have been great. (On the pitch)

Which pitch, of course, has always been the question.

Since the JPT Win, it's been an enjoyable time on the pitch and following the City around the country. It could've been a hell of a lot worse.

mark82 · Dec 14, 2022

Yeah, it's been up & down. Some of the worst times I've had as a City fan but some of the best times too.

Was in Birmingham Airport waiting to fly to Dublin and remember being delighted at the news when it came up pn the TV, daft prick.

Terry Gibson's perm · Dec 14, 2022

As it was announced on the radio I was driving through Galley Common and cheered and had a tear in my eye. I have cheered occasionally but probably wanted to cry more under their ownership.

You cheered because you were nearly out of Galley common, then cried when you realised you were still in Nuneaton.

How quickly we forget City under McGinty…

My thoughts go back to the Robbins era.Two r's that has got to be the best time at our club.It was great on and of the pitch and not once did the club leave their stadium. Anyone who seriously thinks it been good now should have lived then.

slowpoke · Dec 14, 2022

Awful owners, still are, awful chairman still is.

I prefer the two b's

CDK · Dec 15, 2022

Took us back to where the club started, difference being won a couple of trophy's ,thanks to a quality manager not sisu.

slowpoke · Dec 15, 2022

We were a hairs breath from terminal disaster, the EFL final and the play-off final a year later which we crept into if we are honest and then the manager ability none of the above sisu can take any credit for apart from appointing Mark Robins the one bit of luck we had and sisu had in all those 15 years.

So good, they appointed him twice!!!

shmmeee · Dec 15, 2022

Four places lower in the league, 35 years less tenancy, as much debt as ever.

Resounding success.

Tenancy could be argued as it was well over a million a year with absolutely no income from matchday spending.

Let’s see what it is next season. But yeah point taken. I honestly don’t know the ins and outs of our finances to know if we’re better off than 2007. We obviously run a lot tighter on wages, does feel like we still lose money hand over fist though.
