Certainly helped Mowbray, Pressley, Thorn and Bothroyd's reputations...
I'm not sure people realise how much of a win win the city job is, they can't fail.
Not sure there were many giving Mowbray a free ride.Certainly helped Mowbray, Pressley, Thorn and Bothroyd's reputations...

what's allowed them to do what?Unfortunately,
and I think it's one of the main reasons SISU have been able to do what
They have too our club for as long as they have.
I think he speaks for quite a few.

I found TF about cutting the budget if income drops a strange one. I mean what is the lowest the income can be for the club to be able to run week in week out, year in, year out. At what point does the club become unattainable for the owners to hold it?.
If they fail to pay players or staff under contract or fail to fund enough players to play fixtures surely the FL have to step in.
So at the current model TF runs must have a sliding scale which he can move within, but at some point the wriggle room and minimum he has to have kicks in.
For those wanting a change of ownership sadly this base has to be hit before Sisu go, I would of thought the gap to failure on running the football club on the pitch is way closers than the gap to success. It's a viable business as of now, going off what Tim said, TM and staff wages have saved the club a few quid. But now with Slade's in, results and gates have to improve as TF no matter how blasé doesn't want relegation, as that tipping point becomes very much a reality of Sisu throwing in the towel or having to invest.
What McGinnity had us do for half a season.Maybe they'll stick the youth team out.
Accrington one season had about 200 season ticket holders, and were still able to compete in the division below.Let's be honest here, there's clubs that play on a park in front of one man and a dog, it can always get worse.
I'd wager that with no fans at all, they could still put out a team and break even. Probably a team of academy kids and nobodies, but a team nonetheless. Weren't Pompey down to that sort of side at one point and the FA didn't step in?
All it would take is a move to BPA on a dirt cheap rent. Sack everyone, have Tim Fisher pick the team, play a bunch of kids on no more than £500/week, shut the academy, train at the Memorial. I reckon you'd break even on TV money alone.
He made some poor choices but none of us were at the coalface.I liked TM. If he hadn't've messed up the recruitment he would still be here.
Yes they did confirmed by Andersondid they?

Maybe he thought we'd sell 10K St's instead of five.
The recruitment looked like it was stalled on waiting for budget/income to come in.
that's not apportioning blame or deflecting it. Just trying to be open minded about how it got there.
Confirmed by the ribboners roads in Cheylesmore were ribboned if his road was ribboned it was one of a number. Who were they "targeting" when they ribboned Radford,Wyken,Stoke,Longford,Foleshill,Whitley or the numerous other areas of Coventry?Same as going where he lives, also a bit close to the bone isn't it?
Hmm I dunno. Right in many ways, but some of us (to borrow an Astute phraseIt was doubly annoying as he got it so right last season. For the most part anyway.
Hmm I dunno. Right in many ways, but some of us (to borrow an Astute phrase) ended up being proved right that relying on kids, no matter how good they are, would lead to dips in form. And we certainly got that second half of the season.
God, I'd kill for a bit of balance, a mix of kids, journeymen league 1'ers and a couple of grizzled old hags, to lead us to midtable a couple of seasons in a row.
I'm easily pleased(!)
They moved back to the Ricoh because it had been sold to Wasps. We only went to Northampton to devalue the arena.
But he got something right. I don't think anyone this season has been particularly good, although I think Turnbull will get there. I agree there were dips in form but at least we had some good form to cheer.
Like I said, he speaks for quite a few!!what's allowed them to do what?
It's always January that seems to f**k us over maybe this one will work in reverse.No, I agree. tbh both Pressley and Mowbray I've felt sorry for. They've had their faults, sure, but I'm as sure as I can be it's the working conditions that meant those faults showed up far more than they would if all was hunky dorey.
Still, we've got a new messiah now

My surname is Ward rb so what's your point?Oh and I thought his surname was Ward not chambers.
In two minds on this.yep, but despite all that, despite the fact that crowds have gone from 20,000 plus down to 7 or 8,000, they're still here and are now achieving their main aim, to make the club at worse break even or perhaps even turn a profit.
That suggests to me that falling revenue matters not one jot to them as long as they can keep cutting and keep out of the red.
I suspect that if it comes to the point where they have to fund the club or let it die, they will realise that the game is up, there is no value to be extracted, and they will let it die anyway.Not true, NOPM will not damage the club while 8K-9K still go, but once you go down to say 4K-5K, the none movable outgoings will be too great to sustain. There will come a point when SISU will have to start funding it and they won't like that.
Yep, we've had quite a few messiahs over the last few years.No, I agree. tbh both Pressley and Mowbray I've felt sorry for. They've had their faults, sure, but I'm as sure as I can be it's the working conditions that meant those faults showed up far more than they would if all was hunky dorey.

Not true as CCC were talking about potential CCFC ownership in the press after "building bridges".
By playing a bunch of kids what division do you think we'll be in to obtain said TV money?Let's be honest here, there's clubs that play on a park in front of one man and a dog, it can always get worse.

I think the move to BPA with 2000 is TF fantasy safety net, but that will bring even more bad press SISU'S way and Tim fisher will have to keep putting his face on the national platform defending Sisu and the direction they have taken the club. Notice when the man is on he only ever says SISU when he is asked about being paid by them, never does he highlight them other than call them the owners of the club. The guy is a better spinner than Shane Warne, he can tell me over and over again he is cutting the budget to suit but sooner or later the FL will step in before its too late...
Accrington one season had about 200 season ticket holders, and were still able to compete in the division below.
It ain't great for us, but it's pretty obvious our owners are prepared to go that way if needs be.
We moved back to chance our arm and we definitely failed miserablyThe reason we moved back, was because there would have been a mass resignation (5 persons), of senior personnel @ the club if the Northampton tosh were/was to be continued.
The blackest mark goes against 'you know who' for his part in the catastrophe.

Anyone with half a braincell that works on reasoning knows why.Oh is this in line with the Oggy is going to walk out? The same Oggy that despite SISU still owning the football club and being useless at it, is still here?
Also, 5 senior personnel? We don't have 5 senior personnel? Unless you're suggesting TF was going to walk? Let's think senior personnel. Waggot, Labovitch, Fisher. Were there any others? Would the manager or coaches be considered senior personnel?
Nobody knows the exact reason but don't think it has anything to with mass resignations. We had been there a year and was starting a new season there, nobody resigned then, why would they midway through the season?
I expect the usual retort from you and others.
You didn't hear him yet you stick up for him.Regardless of what his views are being confronted by three or four people is hardly fair, is it?
Similar comments are here; everyone one is entitled to their views but not him as he's an idiot. And no, I don't know him and I didn't hear him last night.
