Think we'd see a lot more "Sisu out" if we'd lost all our opening games this season, and tolerance of the owners overall seems to align with the teams performance.
I'd definitely attribute our recent success down to the management team rather than Sisu and I still want them gone for us to progress further.

As others have also said, anyone I know who could be considered NOPM didn't really attend anyway, and quite a few who had a floating interest are attending the odd game again this season.

Which demonstrates perfectly how shallow the "sisu out" protests are. Having a bad run? Sing "SISU Out!". Having a good run? Not a word against the owners.

As if we haven’t got enough shite to polarize people.

Why can’t we just enjoy being 4th with a real chance to go top of the Championship on Friday ffs ?

The stadium issue is worrying. You do wonder if it ends up with another attempt at applying pressure on Wasps Holdings - "give us the ground or we are off"

Ok this makes sense, and must be why JS still believes there is a route to ownership of the stadium.
Either this is true or she really intends to build a new stadium, which I have never believed for a second.

They did when Sunderland came calling. Negotiated a new contract for Robins and Ade.

Been here before with Sepalla just over two years ago she appeared on the scene smiling & praising the teams fortunes while all the time knowing she had put in an appeal to the Euro courts regarding Wasps acquisition of the Ricoh which led to us having to play at St.Andrews, now she is back on the scene attending games and functions talking a new stadium.

Well I believe we’ve had 2 points deductions due to administration, I think 4 separate transfer embargo’s and I guess if Sisu ran Derby they’d have been playing in Mansfield and Nottingham for a while and if we were Sunderland probably Darlington and Whitby Town

You have to work with all parties it’s way more complex than whopping in a speculative planning application. Lots has to go our way for it to become reality

Yeah, can understand that if they announced it last year. They’ve been saying they’re building a new ground since 2013, how long can it possibly take?

do I need to provide one? Mark Robins is the man at the helm and takes the glory and rightly so. But as he has often pointed out, it’s the structure/hierarchy and day to day management that makes a club succeed. Our owners head it. It’s simple.

If Robins was having no support at all from the owners, we wouldn’t be where we are now.

For the record, I dislike Sisu and would ultimately like them to go but to suggest they haven’t done good things or support the club or Robins is utter tripe

Unless you were referring to the stadium situation then I agree. But generally speaking, I don’t.

You are kidding aren’t you? Please say you are. It’s fine to think it’s highly unlikely but to suggest no progress is bizarre
