"New study claims that the Sky Blues are the biggest underachievers in the Football League over the past 50 years"
the most successful at underachieving ...... Feking Great
yeah cheers for selling HR, getting us relegated from the Prem and leaving us £60m in debt.
Back around the time of the World Cup in Germany 2006 the englandfans club (formerly the England Members Club) had 25,000 members and a waiting list. When you applied you had to state the club side you followed. They produced a league table of teams followed, We were 18th most poplar amongst England members. I know it's not scientific, but it was a pretty decent guide to the size of clubs (or at least their followings) in the list. United were top Liverpool second.
Bastards for letting us drop out of the Premier League
Possibly the most flawed "biggest club" study I've ever seen. We rarely finished as high as 15th when we were in the PL. If we're looking at the last 50 years how are we above Derby who won 2 division one titles and have been promoted to the PL a few times in the last 10 or so years and have a bigger fanbase than us? Odd.

15th isn't our average position, its our rank based on an average position of 22.2. Basically this list will just tell you who spent the most time in the premier league/top flight over the last 50 yearsPossibly the most flawed "biggest club" study I've ever seen. We rarely finished as high as 15th when we were in the PL.

Shows where we should be.
Just need to work out how to get back.
What would it have been without SISU?
Did we ever achieve 15th in the top league anyway!!
thanks to SISU we have a club

ah, the only show in town concept....now that really has been our undoing!
As they say you can make stats say all sorts of things. Especially when you restrict data on an arbitrary basis. It isn't really the proof of size
All largely irrelevant isn't it though. Where we are now and where we take from here is the important thing isn't it? Outwardly we are an under achieving club with potential but with few assets on the pitch and none of note off it, massive debts and loss making, and a disconnected fan base are we really 15th biggest club in the country?
Wonder what a measure of say turnover would place us, or losses, or wages or crowds etc :thinking about:
Afraid we just have the memories now, other clubs have been moving forward for the last 20 years whereas we have been going backwards. The gap is too wide to bridge.

SISU weren't the only show in town. I know of at least 2 other interested parties at the time KPMG were running through the administration process (it was administration in all but name). Unfortunately both of them identified that ownership of the Ricoh was crucial and walked away when it became clear CCC were not prepared to sell. We ended up with SISU as CCC effectively blocked the other interested parties.

I love the argument about without SISU we wouldn't have a club...
In the time they have been here we could have reformed and be close to where we are now. Instead of being on the way down, we would be looking up... Look at AFC Wimbledon. It only took them 10 years to get back to the football league.
but are now the biggest underachievers among the top 20, sitting 17th in League One, 46 places below their Ultimate League ranking.
