it's quite simple.
I separate CCFC and sisu, and as a consequence I love CCFC but hate sisu.
You say they are the same, therefore what you feel about one you must feel about the other.
I've always separated the team from the owners, as you clearly don't could you tell me who the favourite owner was you supported?

Russel Slade says that if people think they would come here and pinch our players they are mistaken (which I would say is positive).

Article is "Coventry City fans question Russell Slade's authority over the sale of Sky Blues players"

Still trying I think.

Just seen a public exchange with gilbert which is telling about how their articles come about.

"what do you think of the situation"
"you have to look at past owners"
"yes but what about sisu"
"the stadium deal was such a shit one"
"yes but what about fisher"

Derrick Robins is the man you are thinking of. Best chairman ever. Car dealer in city if I remember, think his son took over from him.

Somehow he's also managed to get into arguments with Gary Linekar and that chap who used to own Palace!

Yes it was Derrick Robbins. He owned a business called Banbury Buildings making prefabricated garages and other structures. They installed the Sky Blue Stand I think it was called at HR.

I thought Robins owned a building firm, Banbury Buildings? I think my Dad bought a precast concrete garage from him. He may have owned more than one business.
Sky Blues 'father' Robins dies

Yep see my post above. I think Warks lad is thinking about Sam Robins (no relation) who was a car dealer as he said.

Yes I believe his son Peter later became our Chairman. His father famously gave JImmy Hill a £30000 gift which he used to buy a new forward line, in the early days of the Sky Blue revolution. He lived on the main road into Leamington, the house backed onto Leamington cricket ground, the house later converted to a hotel,it was that big. I believe he later emigrated to South Africa,where he had previously taken cricket teams to play in the 1960'/70s.

Didn't DR own Banbury Buildings? As I recall, they did a nice line in prefabricated garages.
