CWR - Mark Labovitch this morning. (1 Viewer)

italiahorse · Sep 27, 2013

Says he is independant and the starts talking SISU propaganda.
Asked how they will get over the fair play rules and answers with it was ACL that got us the points deducted???
Interviewer never pushed him and let him off.
3 sites for new stadium, talks it up, but can't talk on it because he's not involved.
Best management ever at the club??
SISU have always financed the club and will continue to do so, but no mention of financing it but leaving the debt.

thaiskyblue · Sep 27, 2013

This kind of posts is a real puzzle to me. What is the purpose?
It's a genuine question and I am not having a go at Valiant or Thaiskyblue - there are many others posting short texts with essential the same content.
What is the purpose? And as I have never posted like that I also want to know - does it work? Should I try?

skybluelee · Sep 27, 2013

It will be interesting to see whether all this recent PR has any impact on Sunday's crowd. If it remains stable (or ideally goes down) the noose around Sepalla and Fisher's neck will tighten that bit more.

Rot in hell for what you are doing to our club. NOPM.

Yeah, give it a go. You might like it.

NOPM. SISU out.

Astute · Sep 27, 2013

So this Labotomy bloke says he is independant. More untruths. He says there are three sites being considered. Thought Joy said there were four?

Yet another SISU person that don't seem to have a clue about football. Maybe Joy only employs people that have had a labotomy that has gone wrong.

Must say I did find strange the distinction he was making between himself and the other director & owners.

Directors share joint and several liability for the actions undertaken by the company. Mr labovitch is listed as a director at Company house, there is no distinction made as to independent or non executive.

Cant hardly describe himself as non executive when he has sat in on creditors meetings, CVA meetings etc and puts himself forward to speak on behalf of the company on CWR

I dont know why but repeatedly the message put out by the directors etc vary between each within hours of each other. That is and always has been a weakness in the SISU strategy

SISU are or have been a highly successful organisation run by talented and astute business people who like many others of their ilk appear to leave their brains on a hatstand when they enter the room marked "Football Club Ownership"!

It is interesting that the man who was hitherto the public face of SISU, TF, appears to have been pushed back into the shadows as the "big guns" come forward. He has been the master of the grand but ultimately wildly inaccurate statement (new ground location within 8 weeks, shirt sponsor within 2 etc etc) and it may be that as SISU embark upon what appears to be a charm offensive they have realised that he has none of the former - at least as far as the fans are concerned

There must be some reason for this sudden emergence from the background of JS and ML. Personally I hope that it is something to do with NOPM / KCIC though I doubt it - although JS's apparent misunderstanding of FFP would suggest that it might. Have they possibly received negative advice about their prospects form the JR appeal?

The optimist in me (which wants SISU out asap) thinks that if they really have "...moved on..." and their "...ship has sailed..." - what is the point of all of this publicity? Why not just get on and build the new f*****g stadium? Why enter the debate? According to them we will all come back eventually anyway so why the need to perpetuate the arguments?

It is odd though, to go back to my first paragraph, how they all have difficulty singing from the same hymn sheet...

good post ...........

Chipfat · Sep 27, 2013

The worst situation in the clubs history and these people keep preaching its the best management we have ever had.... I'm afraid even the strongest Sisu supporter has to admit hearing that before and seeing the club fall down to lower depth's....8 years of stumbling and fighting over mistakes made from day 1 has been very evident in Sisu's pattern of ownership.. Blame, misdirection and multiple companies with multiple owners have ruined a lot of peoples passion about this club.. We like them have no identity just different names and faces that keep appearing and disappearing with past names being blamed for the present....

Remember onge sitting in the stand for 6 months before anyone knew who he was and super KD with his clip board and LB text the sub all a few years ago now long gone!!!. oh sorry, they are back best management we have ever had,, the pattern and pr spin is frightening that some still believe we are in safe hands....

Like the majority of previous owners of my football club, these owners will only go when they're good and ready and make a profit on their investment.
'It's not rocket science and IMHO, SISU aren't going anywhere!!!!!!!!!!

Thoroughly agree RFC the only way CCFC will play back at the Ricoh is if SISU own it, they are not going anywhere. It seems to me that although well fought the battle is lost. The only way we will have a stable club back is if SISU own it lock stock and barrel. Forget Hoffman, Byng and the Chinese,and Haskill they haven't got a hope in hell of buying our club so its SISU or nothing. Its time to move on.

Time will tell. I personally don't think they can continue to cover these losses (despite the public bluster). Crowds, Sponsorship and (presumably) merchandise are far below their worst-case forecasts. They desperately need ACL to crack soon IMO. ACL will obviously know this as well. Its a game of cat and mouse. And its is us as fans caught in the middle.

walked past the 'shop' at Tescos yesterday and seen two ladies sitting there doing absolutely nothing! Clearly not shipping merchendise and normally it would ramp up with christmas approaching!

Spionkop · Sep 27, 2013

Stay away from Sixfields City fans. Go to away games if you can, to keep your support alive. Wolves coming up.
Sisu understand one language, money. The fewer at Sixfields the sooner this awful situation will come to a head.
They must be seeing dire accounts sheets. No real ticket income, no advertising, no sponsorship, no merchandise sales.

Just like the last ones that left when they couldn't afford it any more?

So Joy says that they will build a new stadium. This will cost at least 25m. On top of this will be losses for the next 5 years approx. They also said we are 70m in debt recently IIRC. ......which isn't bad as they also said we were debt free a few years ago. If this is the case we will be in debt by at least 100m if she goes ahead with the new ground. Will we ever be worth 100m? Will our fans ever go back considering the ground would be built outside of Coventry?

To me something will have to happen soon. Maybe after the JR. If ACL don't wobble after all the threats she will either have to build a new stadium, finally start talks with CCC or bail out. She seems to be running out of options. It will take more than talking for the first time in 6 years but only saying what we already knew to get us back watching our club.

The ball is in your court Joy. Bring us back to Coventry and most of us will return. Anything else will be another massive gamble.

I'm afraid we could play like Barca and i wouldn't make a difference to the 90% that stay away,, they are not doing this because of style of football they are doing this because they do not agree with playing outside Coventry. And you like Sisu do not understand care or see this, just put your head in the sand hoping for better times... Plan B, stands for Plan BULLSHIT and now Sisu are the first to blink in this game of poker,, don't like ACL don't like CCC but they are not crawling or spinning pr at mom just watching and waiting for accounts and FFP to start to kick in...

torchomatic · Sep 27, 2013

True Chipfat. It's a killer at the moment not seeing the team playing like their are. I'm a simple boycotter though like the thousands of others. No campaign needed.

Leicester aren't doing bad either, might give them a watch!

In all seriousness, if its not in Coventry it means nothing to me.

Regardless of who you blame, ccfc have stabbed thousands of fans in the heart, and it doesn't matter what the football is like, it will take a long time to forgive.

Eh, not really, there are truckloads of teams in the world other than "Coventry" City who also play fantastic football.

That figure changes every time SISU speak to the media, 3 sites, 4 sites…

But are they really ?
These "little" teams should be well beaten.
The true test is when we start playing the better teams.
Hopefully it will continue. Certainly not getting the results away when I go.

SkyBlueSid · Sep 27, 2013

Best management ever at CCFC? What utter shyte.

I seem to recall we had quite a few years of Derrick Robins as chairman and Jimmy Hill as manager. Does that not count? More like these current chancers know nothing about that era.

Yes RFC we know. I am not going to have a pop about you going (although you seem to love winding up the majority who are not going) but if you and the other sixfields 1500 odd hadn't gone and they had no one turn up,we would probably be now talking about the imminent comeback of CCFC to the Ricoh.

..... And all it would have taken was a few matches. But that's all gone now but hey, those going are seeing some incredible football. You guys fiddle while Rome burns.
