That was me. I work I Chelmsley Wood with a cousin of Ben Turner. She is sometimes a little behind the times as it was me who told her last season that he was coming back on loan. However, I kept asking her over the summer was there any sign of him coming back here and she didn't know. Eventually he signed for Burton. A couple of weeks later she told me that he had had no approach from either Blues (who he would love to have played for) or us.
However, the main point of this thread is not Turner, it is the state of our club. I think both Hoffman and Elliot get a lot of undeserved stick on here. Yes they trusted and worked with Sisu. I think most people saw them (Sisu) as saviours. I used to see both of them regularly at away games. I haven't seen Hoffman for a while. If you go to away games, pay on the gate and sit with the ordinary fans, I think that says something about your feelings for the club. Anyway, the main point of this thread is what can we do to try and get us out of the massive hole we are in, not really about individuals.

Alternatively it may say something about the need to have your ego massaged.

Where has he gone?

Does he still attend ANY games?

Like ALL of us (bar for the clowns who run the club or do their best not to) SO worried about the current situation and future of our Club

Losing games 6-1 and 7-2 against SMALLER clubs than us and it just seems to be accepted

What would Top teams do to our 1st team and youth set ups !!

We have got to get our situation more in the public eye cos I feel we are forgotten and very soon we are just gonna disolve

Allot of fans can't be bothered to
get behind the protests but we MUST do something

Sacking Mowbray is certainly not the answer

He doesn't want to be losing the players he has lost, just so surprised he hasn't walked before now

Hearing they offered Ben Turner £800 a week shows where the club is

He wanted to come BUT what a fookin insult !!

£800 a week to a player like that

To which 'smaller' clubs have we been hammered by this season?

I'm with you mate, what can we do?

I'd cut one of my ears off now if we could get a fresh start

I'd certainly go down lower to start again if they cleared off, like the chap said on the phone in last night

Where will the goal posts be moved to now? Who's the next ex player you will make something up about.

Sorry but I don't buy £800k one iota, thr league one average wage is around £1.5k PW, you say our max is £2k and then tell us that we would offer a player who looked and is well above league one standard who would be first name on the team sheet and in all probability would have come in as captain less than half our max wage and half the league one average. Sorry but that is bollocks.

Sordell's Maseratti is quite nice.

I expect it will be traded in for a G reg corsa soon.

Sorry Nick got to pull you up on that one! The Corsa wasnt introduced to the UK until 1993. So cant be a G reg.

£800 a week is true

They couldn't get any deals over the line cos of their poxy wage structure

£2k a week is their max

Wilbraham was meant to be coming on his wheelchair but when it got down to salary he chose the Aldi Checkout role

We are still deemed a pull and a big club to players out their ........ Until we talk wages

Pay peanuts get monkeys

Surely if you were a genuine fan, you would use 'we' instead of 'they' and 'our' instead of 'their'?
Basic error methinks.

We are a small club, with a small fan base (reducing every season), achieved nothing, constant relegation battles followed by actual relegations, little to no income streams, we don't own our own stadium or have a long term rental deal, academy is in the air, we have owners who don't give a shit.

Another new poster coming on to moan.

I refer back to a recent post I made. You NEVER get a new poster coming on and saying 'Hi lads, first time poster...pretty shit off the field, innit, but I'm heading down the Ricoh this Saturday to cheer on the team. Nice to meet you all...PUSB!'

He may be way off on his info about Ben Turner, but the idea that we are a club in a massive amount of trouble, which is his main point is ignored, it seems to me to make fun of him. I could go over all of Sisu's wrongs again but I won't. I read more than I post on here and it really does seem apparent that as soon as there is any perceived criticism of the owners 4 or 5 posters on here fly to their defence and will often distract from the main points of the thread. It also seems that if you criticise Sisu, you can't do it unless you criticise all of the other culprits in our mess. I agree, lots of bodies are at fault but there are lots of things that Sisu do that is. entirely down to them. The main thing at the moment (as it has been throughout their ownership) is their lack of communication with the fans, as well as, to put it charitably, their using of mis-information to give false hope (example Tim Fisher's back up site outside of Coventry in case the BPA plan failed. If it exists. tell us about the progress or difficulties you are having with the deal. The fact is everyone knows there is no site.). Why don't they tell us what thei options are for the academy in a years time and for the stadium in two? If the team had made a good start, I know the pressure would be off of them to an extent. However, being second bottom of the third division simply highlights further the disaster they have been for our club.

We all know sisu are cunts, we all know we are in a sorry state, we all know things are looking shit. Pretty much every thread on here talks about how crap things are regardless of who is blaming who.

No need to post absolute rubbish/lies, there's another crap going on.

He could afford it in 2 weeks...and I don't believe for 1 second that we would insult a player like Turner and offer £800 a week...

My point was its a fair commute on a daily basis from cov to Portsmouth and you said "no" and compared it to a further one.

I don't know any info about an offer to Turner, but I do know the max is 2k a week. And not many are on that sort of money within the squad.

I also know TM is on less than the max, what he can offer players in deals will make it hard for him to compete. Which is not really up for debate as he has already indicated this when missing out on targets since the end of last season.

Ok, I'll try and have a conversation with you and see how long it takes....

Most people who have that sort of commute (me included) tend to get all or most weekends off to return home, and occasionally stay at home during the week as well. The life of a footballer is naturally pretty busy on a sat as well, so he can't see too much of his family if he stays away or commutes every week day and then away every sat.

No idea if he still lives there or travels. If he came to cov he wouldn't have moved as he still lived here and not Kenilworth.

Quick look at his social media shows he's still living in Cov. Pompey is 2.5 hours on a good day. Given footballers don't work a 9-5 its not impossible that he's commuting or he could be renting a place down there to stay when needed.
