As the name suggests I am a Dunfermline Athletic fan and, in a rare few moments that I've not been worrying about my own club, I've kept a wee eye on the ongoing saga with Coventry. Other than having fond memories of Keith Houchens diving header and Dunfermline signing Craig Falconbridge years ago I've no connection with Coventry.. Our clubs are fairly similar in that we have a proud history of being in our top league for most of our days however due to financial mismanagement we have slipped down the leagues a bit and murmurings of imminent collapse have gone on for years now.
We have now been served a writ, rightly so, by HMRC, and unless a fans group succeed in their negotiations with our greedy owner, we won't exist in a couple of weeks. I know the Coventry situation is different from ours and that the foremost thing you have to sort is with the stadium owners (whatever happened to clubs owning their own grounds?) but as fans we will undoubtedly share the same sleepless nights worrying what's going to happen next.
Hope you guys pull through it and get back eventually to the dizzy heights you enjoyed in the 80's and 90's. All the best.
Thanks for the support. It is a whole can of worms here? A bit more complex than some mismanagement in football. The stadium owners seem to have the supporters interests at heart. It is our owners who have let the fans down. They have milked the club dry. Posting losses all over the place but not having any transparency.

Ha, the usual people on the rant again.
Grendel, it is about opinions, I hear what you say but don't agree with you.
skyblue Taylor..... ..You paying board yet...You will find out what it is like to honour your debts.
SISU set this business up to bleed it dry. They wanted the stadium and ACL even agreed to it last year. But it never happened because SISU stalled. They spotted a weakness in ACL in that they were not able to meet their mortgage debt, stopped paying rent so that they would go bust. Starved ACL of funds. Hence the need for ACL to take the loan from Coventry Council.
SISU are sharks. ACL and their backers have taken them on and are in the stronger position at the moment. SISU will play another hand before long.
See what happens then.....It could mean liquidation.
We have gone through this argument time and again. I do not like the position the club is in. It is a mess.
Not my view im sad to say. SISU have put us where we are today. SISU purchased the club and had a business plan. It stalled because they bullied ACL, spotted weaknesses and tried to turn the knife.
Your just a troll and a disgrace.
Well said flying people need to respect other views rather use bullying words ...
That's how I see it. Looking at the way some feel sorry for SISU is ridiculous. They are bullies and usually get there way, this time someone stood up to them!
i didn't think sisu could liquidate the club now that acl have announced there intention of putting ccfc into admin? not sure how this works!. either way instead of calling someone a troll isn't it about time that all fans' of all clubs started shouting with one voice. how many clubs have been stitched up in the past? and how many others are struggling to survive because of money men with no brains are running them.
On a lighter note I found your appointment of Pressley a strange one but if he's given time he'll do well bringing through young guys but the board and fans will need patience. He comes across pretty thick when he speaks but he has really good ideas and generally talks sense.
He does have a pretty bad sense in fashion though as is nicknamed "Pishy Broon Shoes" by fans up here. You'll soon see why.
