I love ripping you a new arse. It's not for your opinion though, it's when you are factually incorrect or balls something up.
Saying that though are entitled to your opinion as much as I am entitled to question you on it.
You and a few others tried to rip me a new arse when I said that a couple of years ago... Or do you refuse to acknowledge that?... Remember the "Pack mentality?"

Surely the telegraph would campaign for Wasps to stop messing about and let us play there for the sake of the football team (not the owners)?
Well who is to say that won't happen nearer the time.
As it stands the game is over for sisu. They have been left snookered and there is no where to run.
Do you mean rondog? The bloke who just comes on to have digs at me? Or tim07 who I said has an agenda?
Plenty of people come on here and disagree with me. It is to be expected.

*Edit* Welcome to the darkside mate.. NOPMAhh! but I've learned how to counteract you now mate
GMK used to be a great forum, but entered a downhill spiral to result in a handful of anti-council, anti-CET zealots who'd round on anyone with a contrary view. This forum's default position is now exactly the same.
I'm sure the CET's piece is in response to yet another board member leaving the club in a worse position than he found it. Yet the usual suspects decide its motivated more by a book launch or a desperate bid to increase circulation.
Yes, the CET - like any paper - is looking for readers. Yes, there's a book coming out. But his stance is - I'm sure - in response to the merry-go-round in our board continuing at a point when we're bottom on the league with zero tangible assets. Enough, really, is enough.
(I do understand I haven't posted on here a few weeks, and that makes my view inferior to that of some...)
It's a shift in the Telegraphs stance, so from that point of view they are now aligned with 99% of the fans, surely that has to be good news unless of course you are one of the 1%.
Are you one of the 1% Nick, do you think this club is going places under SISU? Do you want SISU to remain at the club for a further decade?
CET are entitled to voice their opinion - don't really think anyone is questioning that.
It's more disappointing though that they didn't feel the need to voice their opinion on the Wasps purchase of Ricoh or the impending displacement of our academy.
Both of these decisions will have detrimental consequences long after SISU have disappeared.
*Edit* Welcome to the darkside mate.. NOPM
Wasps interested in buying us and rebranding us Coventry city stingers???
Micheal Byng is back???
Joe Dhinsa??
The thing is though, SISU aren't in trouble. CCFC are.
Is it only me who can see that?
While everybody gets excited over SISU being "snookered" or "being outdone", Seppalla will be sat in her multi million pound house. It isn't them is it?
What was said is an accurate opinion of the vast vast majority of CCFC fans if not all and rather than agreeing with it a number of posters on here want to make it somehow about Wasps distracting from the actual feelings of the fan base. I can't fathom why you would do that considering the content of the article myself.
I get excited because I want sisu gone because I honestly see better times ahead and even if I'm wrong at least we have a chance with new owners as now we have no chance.
No you're right it doesn't hurt sisu and Joy but it's then we need to rid. Nothing we can do to hurt them and I don't want to hurt them personally I just want them out of my club and give someone else a chance.
My point about them being snookered is the game is up. They were always going to go one day but that day may be finally a lot closer than we thought and that's due to the pressure from all other parties. Make no mistake I don't like wasps or ccc but unfortunately we need these parties to help us atm and ideally I want to be in a position where we don't rely on wasps for a good rent deal but at the moment that's what we are stuck with.
Maybe some people dislike SISU, and also dislike Wasps, and feel the Telegraph should have been on at SISU to fuck off, and for Wasps not to get the Ricoh, so CCFC got new owners and the stadium.
Just a suggestion, don't shoot the messenger.
I don't think there are many NOPM there are a lot more like yourself wh just don't want to go for various reasons. The worrying thing is the number who are and have been season ticket holders.For the record I'm not NOPM, I just don't want to go.
That's the thing, if the front page was "price naseem of kuwait" with billions is buying us or "we have mr jones who is going to do x and y and really bring the football club on" then I would be excited.
Does all of this "hurt the owners" make somebody want to buy us or help with it? I agree that I would much prefer they went and let somebody better take over. Is it as easy as just jumping up and down though and actually hurting CCFC?
Well yes I see your point but it's obvious to me that wasps and ccc see ccfc and sisu as the same so by hurting ccfc they are hurting sisu in their eyes. Until a point where they have to go. Is it as simple as that as you say? Well we will know within 18 months.
I agree with the article. It is time for them to go. Yes, there are doubts over who covers the club's running costs but anything has got to be better than it merely being a vehicle to get SISU to the courts.
That said, I don't believe in boycotting, if anything, the fans need to show a prospective new owner that the club is something worth buying. At the minute, with gates of sub 9k any investor wouldn't look twice.

Interesting that when people were asking the CT to get involved in a Save The Academy campaign the response was that was not for the paper to do it was down to fans, what makes this different?
The timing here is relevant. We are bottom of the league and the MD has jumped.
This article just ties in with everything else going on. Wasps refusing to talk to us about the Ricoh and us losing the academy.
My point is in the next year or so things are going to have to give. If wasps and other teams won't lend us their ground what the hell do sisu do? They are snookered. It's over.
That's the thing, all it would do is put a new owner off in case they put millions in and people do the same to them.
They would need to be shown it is just about CCFC.
You do realise I was being sarcastic, hence I put rounding in speech marks.
It was just more than 1 person disagreeing with me.
I think it's pretty certain that when the new owners come in there will be a surge of interest (I'll start going again for one).
I'm sure anyone wishing to buy the club will not be put off by current gates, they'll hopefully understand the back story and see the potential.
For the record I'm not NOPM, I just don't want to go.
But why bring Wasps up on a thread about an article in a local paper that accurately sums up the feelings of CCFC fans on the way the current owners have run the club? It's a separate subject surely? All it does is distract from the actual point of the article. Was that the point of mentioning wasps in the first place? It's hard to see what other effect it would have isn't it?
As I said, I don't mind multiple people disagreeing with me. Don't you think I'm used to it?I think we all realised the sarcasm, but you definately disliked being "Rounded on" Welcome to the club.
Just for the record... If you're not going to games...You're not paying any money to the Club.
