Or sing Tony Mowbrays Sky Blue Army to be positive towards him and the players on the pitch helping them get over the line.

Be positive.
Sometimes good things need a little help.
If Sisu continue to take the piss then you can always go back to protesting.

Fair play to you Italia, but you are seriously all over the place. "I'm off" "I'm back" and now this. You must be a nightmare to live with.

Like a 3 month contract for the manager to go alongside the same contract for the majority of the squad?

Sisu are continuing to take the piss, everytime we hear from them it's the same nonsense.

Like the 4 year contract for Pressley or long term deals for junk like David Bell. You do understand there are 2 parties to a contract? With Pressley's track record in the transfer market is it not a good thing that most of the dross we've got are on short term deals?

Thats not a good argument, thats just more evidence the club is run by idiots, Just because very long contracts can be stupid doesn't mean that very short contracts aren't stupid. I don't think you go too far wrong with 2 year contracts alongside a proper recruiting and scouting policy that doesn't overpay. At the moment we are signing people that haven't played much and are a big gamble on very short contracts, it can't pay off, the ones that succeed will go elsewhere for no benefit.

all CCFC fans will follow the team, they might not attend, but that's their choice,
they long for better days,
they would return in droves with a complete change of ownership,

the owners have pursued a disastrous form of control,
they have insulted & alienated fans, by a series of poor decisions,
& will find it nigh on impossible to win fans back to their side,
mainly because they continue to employ people who have been unsuccessful at previous football clubs,
& have very little football acumen,
they then submit accounts on the last day to avoid the likelihood of a points deduction,
& employ a manager on a part time basis,
quite frankly the sisu team have 'cried wolf' once too often

Of course they would, SISU are the main reason fans have fucked off and found other hobbies to do, a new change of ownership would re-ignite the passion in many.

our hardcore support is only around 11,000-12,000

success on the pitch would boost that significantly, not a change in owners

You would be suprised, the day sisu leave would be like a fucking huge party held at the first home game, that's for sure.

Success would boost attendances but our owners are not interested in success on the football field are they now.

agreed mate, and i'd be one of them partying. Sadly though it would be a mirror of the first game back at the Ricoh - back to the hardcore after the initial bounce.

Utter bollocks. If we by some miracle got a playoff spot no one would give a flying fuck who our owners are. Its all about the product on the pitch. If people are entertained they'll come back regardless of owners. Look at the JPT game as an example. A sniff of Wembley and everyone came flooding back, no one gave a shit about the owners then.

I honestly don't believe that, you may see an initial spike at most. There may be a few (couple of hundred?) who that may be the case for and would come back. The other 1000s just use it as an excuse when the truth is that they aren't going because they don't want to watch the standard of football at the current level in the league pyramid which is being served up. If we were in Portsmouth scenario, fan owned in league 2 we'd probably be getting 5-6k where as they get 16k.

And to answer your own question who's fault is it they do not want to watch this standard of football? who employed a joke of a manager and took us down from the championship and refused to offer the significant backing when Ranson requested it to take us to the next level?

So if we had a run to the playoffs our attendance wouldn't improve because of our owners?

People will only come back if the product on the pitch is producing results.
All I'm saying is assume that will happen, get behind the team by going to the Ricoh and give it your best. If it's the same then you did your bit at the right time, you can then stop going and continue your protest.

Can't agree Mark, many I know see the owners as the reason for the 'Groundhog Day' effect of taking one step forwards and then 3 steps backwards. Usually those steps backwards have had such a profound effect on the whole morale and product on offer on the pitch that they won't be swayed easy. Only a sustained and entertaining run of results would have a positive effect, certainly not a quick flash in the pan !

Their wont be any running to the play offs this season ffs, forget that pipe dream! Like I said attendances would improve if we was producing on the pitch slightly, but the damage has been done for many many fans by our (wonderful in your eyes) owners. Dick.

The only way we will get a play off push is with REAL funding, will SISU do that? Mowbray or whoever is in the role next season will need significant resource to overhaul the squad, hes not a magician, he needs to the tools provided by SISU ( your lovers)

Totally agree with this mate. Doesn't matter who the owners are though.
