Exactly! No ones going to 'come-in' as it's put and sometimes, just sometimes it's better the 'devil you know'.

Be very, very careful what you wish for?

If SISU walked away after relegation to L2 there's a good chance we'd end up in administration again and start next season on -10. And then we've got to find someone who wants to take over a L2 club starting the season behind everyone else with no stadium and hugely limited revenues.

Well not really. If there were alternate interests what would possibly make them worse than the fawlty towers of hedge funds?

RFC, I think I've been one of the more tolerant posters concerning your posts. Heck, I think I even liked one once.

But for f*&k sake man...stop with all this cryptic bullshit. If there's something you think you know, f*&king say and stop all this crap you spout. It's not healthy mate.

Who do you think will pay the players and run the club if SISU walk? Is that clear enough?

No. L1 and SISU for me.

Let's say someone like Karl Oyston wanted to take over; would your stance change?

I'd take the gamble. It may well get worse, but at least it would happen quicker than SISU's slow death approach. Then we will recover, we'll have a relatively big crowd for whatever low league we'll be in and if necessary we'll have to trade our way back up the leagues.

The bigger problem is only having one guaranteed year left at the Ricoh, I wonder why SISU agreed to this when they knew Wasps were coming in.

Whoever takes over? Great, I'm reassured... After all, they must be queuing up.

What with it being such a great prospect you mean? No ground, no money, no assets, nothing. Only someone with sky blue blood and very deep pockets would even consider it, and then only for giggles, certainly not for profits.

No he lived there, well sandbanks at least, and the Bournemouth Chairman at that time Eddie Mitchell had his firm building the Russians house. Thats how he got involved.

Do we have any Russian billionaires trying to buy a house in Coventry at the moment?

If he has a house in Sandbanks he could sell it and buy the whole of Coventry

Lets re phrase it...................... given the choice of League 2 with SISU gone and new owners who can start again genuinely debt free, with an open and transparent mandate to run the club sensibly and professionally and ensure all revenue streams are funnelled towards success on the pitch for a shrewd manager who can at least get us playing some sort of competitive football...........................Err yes please, in a heartbeat !!

Hypothetically, that could be a good time for potentially the richest rugby union side in Europe to start taking an interest in football
