You've campaigned for the hedge fund for months now. Can't you see that retaining them will hugely diminish our support which in turn will diminish our spending power which will result in a team of academy kids and relegation !!

Would you leave a tenant in one of your properties if the tenant had renaged on deals and witheld rent?
Sisu are a known bad bunch which is why ACL and CCC will no longer deal with them.
It was reported in 2012 an agreement had been reached between ACL,CCC and Hoffman group for the Ricoh.
Sisu deserve nothing but being shown the Exit door.
They got their knickers in a twist and forced this situation a long long time ago.........Sisu out! NOPM:jerkit:
With 'ambition' like that then we really are doomed. FFS, what a stupid fucking thing to wish for.
Look! What's the difference between liquidation and being under the control of SISU ... Nothing!!
All we have been doing is going backwards under there regime and it will carry on and on till sooner or later it is going to happen with losses we are occurring and all this being adding on to the £60m debt. We are at present flat lining and SISU cannot get us out of this. You have to be realistic about this, moving out and building a new stadium is just prolonging our demise.
We as a club at the moment are haemorrhaging and we need a transfusion urgently. The only best option we have is a new takeover with an initial reasonable deal and nothing more. Surely you can see that.
Fucking rent and tenant analogies again.
Everybody can play at those, pointless though.
If you rented somewhere that was much bigger than you needed and more than you could afford would you stay there or move somewhere smaller and cheaper?
Works both ways my friend I think after seeing this I wouldn't trust ACL/CCC either. SISU are obviously at the biggest fault, but ACL/CCC are accountable for as much blame IMO.
I don't campaign for SISU - I want the best for City. I try to see things from their perspective and don't think all their criticism is fully justified, along with Carl Baker...
7/6/13 Coventry City captain Carl Baker has said that he does not have a problem with SISU but hopes that the fans will stick with the club.
Writing on Facebook, Baker said: "Just to let people know I don't care who our owners are. I don't have a problem with Sisu and respect them they have always kept their word with me.
"I just said I don't wanna leave the Ricoh I don't wanna play outside the city and I'm sure nobody does even Sisu but if that's how it's gonna be then that's how it's gonna be we'll deal with it and move on and ill get on with my job an give my all for the club I love.
"No matter what happens Ricoh or not, Cov is a massive club with unbelievable fans who I think and hope will support the club they have all their life even through the bad times cos that's what it's all about.
"When you decide what team your gonna support its like taking marriage vows, ha through sickness and health and till death do us part.
"Hopefully things will get sorted sooner rather than later so we can talk about football stuff rather than off field on goings.
PUSB."

How utterly pathetic, Carl Baker professional footballer.......................... paid a Kings Ransom from the North West says 'Just get on with it and support the club wherever and at whatever cost' You want what's best for City as long as that includes retaining your favourite hedge fund, oh Jesus help us !!
The best option IS a takeover, of course. But would I rather the club folded than have SISU in charge. Nope, not in a million years. SISU will be gone one day, so wanting your club liquidated is inexcusable for me. Up to you, of course, but I'd rather have a club to support than not, even if that club were in L2.
I wondered how long it'd be before you turned on him too.

I'll turn on anyone who actively supports the cretins who have utterly shamed and destroyed our football club !
Of course Fisher is right about the club owning the ground and accessing all the revenues.
Thing is, that can happen here at the Ricoh.
Just not with Sisu though unfortunately because the council and ACL find the way Sisu operate as abhorrent and do not trust them.
The only way out of this sorry mess I can see is Sisu to go and new owners come in.
If not, all I can see is at least one more relegation and the new stadium being a lot further away than 3 years.
Fisher did himself no favours at all last night, as he came across as smarmy and totally disrespectful of the fans feelings. He truly didn't seem to care how fans felt.
Fan after fan was saying how many years they had been going up and that they will not move and will stop watching and he didn't appear to care one jot.
I'd rather support a 'Pheonix' club than SISU FC !!

Since SISU have been in control of CCFC in 2008, all I have seen are owners with serious lack of ambitions for the club and some of our sky blue supporters we have in our midst keep backing them having the same lack of ambition.
I rather see CCFC liquidate than it sitting in league1 or 2 without any ambitions and sitting in a tin pot stadium. This is not the sky blue way.
I just can't support the club while SISU have hijacked it. I am not good at heartbreaks I will constantly experience this under SISU.
Every owner need a chance to prove themselfs but SISU have been with us for 5 years and all they have achieved is nothing but failure... at least under Bryan Richardson we saw some great football and memories, whilst under SISU , all my memories have been bad. The low came for me when we lost decent manager in Robins to Huddersfield after just three months. In my living memory as a sky blue fan, I have never seen that happen. This is what broke the camels back for me regarding my total loss in confidence in SISU.
This is why I feel that if the club is suffering that badly then sadly put it down or find someone who can cure it. I would prefer the second option but it may not happen whilst SISU spread there cancer in the club.
Absolutely my opinion
If any incoming owner still winds up under the council ownership tree of the Ricoh, we still won't be any better off

So the Richardson era is ok, because we have footballing memories even though that era is the main fault for the problems we're in now? I.e spending money we didnt have on having a punt tha putting us in debt we hav never recovered from, and selling the ground, etc?
You would rather liquidate?
What would your ambitions be? Spend even more £££££ of money we haven't got in the hope of fluking it to the PL?
Oh FFS, grow up! "Heartbreak", "cancer"? Don't support the club then, but let other people support it if they want to.

Agree .... but any new owner coming in will get full support from the fans and the fans will expect full support from the council too.
Believe me the council will be stepping on egg shells not to Fcuk this up as if they did there would be cross party rebellion within the council for sure and I can't see the media, the fans and people of Coventry backing them.
That is why I feel confident that the council will now have to do the right thing with the new owners. Unfortunately too much water under bridge between the council and SISU so club will not be able to move forward under there regime.
I will support them but will not follow them until the present owners are gone.

You may have forgotten that is unfortunately what football is all about ... Why else did SISU come aboard.
But you said you wouldn't support them and rather they were liquidated. So which is it?
Swansea didnt do it that way and neither did Blackpool.
A freak of nature ... good on them
Oh ... They also knew how to hold onto there good managers. Which costs money.
