A boycott is an official stance not based on natural declining factors. Relegation naturally reduces attendances but sales will still be around the 3,000 mark and attendances at around 5-6,000 minimum.

ITS bull---- just to sell season tickets, they are getting worried that know one will buy one, so he gives you hope and you lot believe him every year.
I completely agree with you.The guy is full of shit, heard it all before and if this is the case then why now, FFS why has nobody asked him why has it took him 6 years or the owners 8 year to work out a plan. All bullshit, all said before and all about trying to pull fans pants down again by selling us a dream that now they are engaged with the club.
He is obviously trying to sell fans to invest in the club through ST's. He has got more cheek than Nicki Minaj, But then again, i would if i was him, i mean the man has point blank lied since he has been here and got away with it. So i suppose his train of thought is why not play the same hand since turning up, its never failed him yet.
CCFC's current malaise is not down to "natural declining factors" i think many are taking a stance
What do you use now?I spent most of my youth in Lonsdale socks. Mainly as it was my wanking sock of choice.

Same old shit spouted out from the Sisu prayer book. Roll on October when Robins fooks off.The Sky Blues boss believes several of his signings have come up short because not enough background checks had been done on them – a situation he feels is already being resolved with a strategic scouting network now in place to improve the quality of recruitment.
“Reflecting on this season, one of the areas we must improve on as a football club is recruitment,” he said, “and as manager I take responsibility for that.
“It’s an area I saw as needing significant improvement when I first came in because we didn’t have a real scouting network in place, and it has taken us time.

Coventry City are in the process of setting up a new scouting network for manager Tony Mowbray and beyond.
The Sky Blues boss had expressed his concern that there was no player database or a single scout on the books when he was appointed last month.
But chief executive Steve Waggott has revealed: “I have been assembling a new scouting network to serve Tony and the club into the future.
“For a club such as ours scouts play a vital role on two levels. They are the trusted eyes and ears of the manager at games around the country.

“It will be a recruitment system which includes a refreshed scouting network, a clear set of talent identification criteria and transparent communication to the board on progress – from identification of the talent through to securing the talent.

I wouldn't be giving up or academy for our new scouting network just yet.

I still think something different is happening, and TF's comments reinforce that in my mind. I can't remember such positive comments being made when we were relegated last time.
COVENTRY City’s chief executive Tim Fisher meets owners Sisu this week to ask for the cash to fund an immediate return to the Championship.
He says that manager Andy Thorn is “front and centre” in the restructuring proposals he will present to the owners and that he is determined to do everything possible to hold on to star asset Richard Keogh – who has just one season left on his contract – and the Academy graduates who have broken into the first team this season.
Speaking barely an hour after Coventry’s relegation had been confirmed on Saturday, the man who was thrust into the hot seat in December stressed: “It would be really easy to have the knee-jerk reaction – fire the manager, get rid of a load of players – but that’s not what this is about.
"The one thing we have lacked over a number of years is a little bit of stability.
“We’re going to review what has happened this season when there have been a number of mistakes on and off the pitch and we all know what they are. We’re going to learn from those and, following the post-mortem, we’re going to restructure.
“Sisu have asked me for a plan – ‘if we go down into League One, how do we get back?’
“We are working on that plan and we will crack on with re-assessing where we are and then rebuilding.
“It’s a negotiation between the board and the owner; we will ask for a budget, and it will be a bounce-back budget.
We want to have a robust bid to get out of League One; there’s no ‘let’s go down and consolidate for a couple of years and see where we get to’ – we are going to make a bid to get out.”
The Sky Blues need Sisu to confirm that they will bankroll the club for the next 12 months before their outstanding accounts can be signed off and their transfer embargo lifted.
“They have to look at the plan, look at the numbers,” said Fisher. “They may say that it isn’t acceptable, but I think they like the idea of bouncing back.
“Sisu haven’t signed off that budget because in effect they were waiting to see what would happen, was it Championship of League One. Talking to Joy Seppala, she’s clear in her mind – ‘if we’re going to go down, we’ve got to come back up, right?’
The Sky Blues have worked their way through ten managers since they slipped out of the top flight 11 years ago but Fisher stressed: “This is where we need to draw a line in the sand and say enough – enough of firing managers. We need to get out of that habit and, to draw a football analogy, put our foot on the ball, give Andy a chance to reorganise the resources.
“Andy is front and centre stage at the moment and we are going to work with him to make sure that he’s got all the resources lined up.
“We’re sitting down with him to decide which players he wants to keep. We need a spine, we need the key players and, as reflected in all the awards he has won, Richard has been the heartbeat of that team.
“He’s a good player and there will be intense pressure from outside to extract him, without a doubt, but this week he gave us a provisional commitment that he wants to stay and we’ll do our best to keep him.
“There is always a figure X but it would have to be a big figure; I think the value of Richard staying would far outweigh a little bit of cash with money on appearances and so on and so forth.
“Certain things we’d like to do but may be out of our hands. Some players who are out of contract, I suspect, may leave; we respect that and we’ll have to bring in some additional resources.
“It is a highlight of the year for me that those Academy boys have grown into men and it would be a shame if we were to get rid of them now.
“We’d like Ollie Norwood to stay and I think there is a chance he will.
"I suspect a Championship club will come in for Alex Nimely on loan but he has indicated that he would be delighted to stay.”
The supporters’ disenchantment has deepened after Thorn was denied any opportunity to replace stars like Marlon King and Aron Gunnarsson while Ben Turner and Lukas Jutkiewicz were sold to cut the debts.
“There is a general acceptance that mistakes were made,” said Fisher, “and one of those mistakes was letting players in key positions leave and not replacing them with talent. That is recognised by the owner.
“I’ll do my best to ensure that Sisu remain motivated to keep going; that’s one of my principal roles here – showing them the positivity.
"When we were eight points adrift and pulled it back, that was motivational for them; unfortunately we had that recent slump in form that has killed us.
“It’s difficult for Sisu to reconcile investing £40m and the antipathy that we’ve all seen.
“What happens on the pitch is the key to all of this; if you get that right what happens off the pitch becomes secondary, even tertiary. That is why we’ve got to get that bit right.
