How much damage can we do to SISU... (5 Viewers)

Otis · Aug 27, 2011

Am I missing something here?

If the Hoffman bid isn't credible, and that of course is an 'if' based on what has been revealed today, then surely we need a viable alternative before all this trying to get Sisu out don't we? While we don't have an alternative aren't we a bit daft trying to force Sisu out? Thought all this momentum the last couple of weeks or so was because we felt there was an alternative!

"then surely we need a viable alternative before all this trying to get Sisu out don't we? While we don't have an alternative aren't we a bit daft trying to force Sisu out?"

Exactly. Like it or not, SISU remain our only lifeline

Agree it is against fan priciples, but SISU need to realise that if they are to continue with their charge they need to get the fan base onside.

"SISU need to realise that if they are to continue with their charge they need to get the fan base onside."

But the fans only want SISU to spend money that isn't available

No need to worry - Ken said he was talking to "20 or 30 other potential investors".

If the failiure of the Hoff bid was all Hoff's fault, then surely one of these other many options will come good................

Ken Delieu is a twat

Depends on whether Ken won the Euromillions last night or not.

Think the other income stream revenues are the Daybreak weekly quiz question, winning Pointless and David Dickinson's Real Deal daily 2 grand competition.

TalkSkyBlue · Aug 27, 2011

Agreed, but too many owners are taking the piss out of ordinary fans. All I'm saying is that by protesting through a "no show" is a shot in the right direction. To stand out smoething different needs to be done and a "no show" has not been done before.

CCFC123 · Aug 27, 2011

there no other options.... were down and out heading with admin....then liquidation.

Let's hope we can re-form....

TommyAtkins · Aug 27, 2011

"Let's hope we can re-form...."

It won't be Coventry City any more then. And that is the tragedy

procdoc · Aug 27, 2011

the absolute worst case scenario now is sisu selling clingan, juke, cranie and keogh between now and wednesday, I can see it happening

Bennets Afro · Aug 27, 2011

A no show will do nothing.
They will be getting money from the tv and all the money already paid by season tickets and purchased matchday tickets

It won't bother them at all, plus they won't even have the balls to come the game so will watch it on tv and let's be honest, on the tv the stadium looks empty anyway

I've got an audition to be on The Chase next Saturday, don't know what the money is like on that though, as only seen it once.

Should be able to trump Hoffman's bid,and seeing as Ginetta is in my consortium the bid should be approved for the opposite reason to Hoffman's.

He has absolutely no football knowledge whatsover.

wouldnt be too sure of that

"if you are not happy with the signings over the summer, you can have your money back"

thats the emial I got, time to use it !!!

Forget this "it will effect the team", no it wont , we dont have a team

To be fair, you can't be that unhappy with the signings we've made over the summer, we haven't really had any signings over the summer to get unhappy about.

TommyAtkins · Aug 27, 2011

At least they bothered to sign goalkeepers. One has to be happy that Brody and Delieu understood the importance of a soccer team having a 'keeper

Sorry, but I think you missed the point. A "no show" will not look good. And the media will ask questions.

TommyAtkins · Aug 27, 2011

"And the media will ask questions."

They already have - and Hoffman was found out.

The media might look at the empty stadium and conclude that SISU are doing the right thing. Cutting costs to meet income.

you need a mass for mass protest though.

wtf???????????

ashbyjan · Aug 27, 2011

You're right Tommy - Murphy being the franchise player we were promised ny our footballing geniuses. Roll on the black stuff being in tap at the Ricoh, well once we own it, well err um ok so that's never then. Roll on the local derby with nuneaton borough (never be town) and Leamington.

Thats the spirit - stiff upper lip and all that

We have a sparsely filled stadium for virtually every game anyway.

So it's fine for him to mock those who do attend week in week out???

ashbyjan · Aug 27, 2011

So were those who said Hitler shouldn't be trusted when we were told peace in our time. Didn't make the outcome any more palatable though even for the know it alls.

The fortunate ones fled. Oh the irony....

Hibbert · Aug 27, 2011

A protest will change NOTHING, you're wasting your time, if anything it will make them more stubborn. With Hoffman now pulling out there is no one left to come and save us. What would be your objectives for a protest now?

Well, there aren't that many of us left to mock are there?

A team that was pulling in 30,000 fans a week to 32,000 stadium that had the fans failing to turn up might have some impact, but not when it would be likely to be only around the 10,000 mark for the televised game against Derby.

Besides, every televised game we have, it looks empty anyway because of the camera positions, and Coventry v Derby is hardly going to have people packing out pubs to watch it worldwide is it?
