The main Arab who owns Man City barely shows his face at he ground and Ipswich's owner could walk among the fans in the stands and no one would know who he was, so what?
Steve Waggott isn't a SISU member. Perhaps get Joy to show her face instead-she hasn't done so once since 2007.

Neither has promised to improve relations with fans or threatened to withdraw funding for the club.
I don't care whether she goes to games but not once has she appeared in public to explain her intentions for the club or address concerns which are now widespread.
She's employed Waggott and Fisher to do that...
My point was it's her we should be asking questions of rather than a heavily overweight Geordie.
:laugh: :laugh:
I thought you were Sky Blue Taylor rather than Sky Blue Kid?
What?
I found that post funny. Which one is the Geordie?
I was joking SBT. Waggott is, quite obviously!
For me, that would be SISU's end-game, it would have to be surely? Realistically, what can they do to recoup their investment?
Try to blackmail people into handing you things to sell or threaten to destroy the club if you don't get your way.
However I think this particular end game isn't going as they expected.

Of course, accountability and transparency are a little lower down a list of supporter's concerns when you've just won the Premier League, rather than hit the lowest point in the club's modern history..
SBT I don't see that much evidence of them "gambling on reaching the Premiership", do you? We signed one player for money last season and made a huge surplus on the transfer balance sheet. Not exactly "going for it"! It looks a lot more like an attempt to cut all costs, which is standard hedge fund behaviour. If anything was uncharacteristic for a hedge fund, it was the original Ranson blueprint of "speculate to accumulate"; that simpy isn't what these companies do. In on the cheap, cut costs, sell a profitable business on in under two years (often as little as three or four months!) is the usual hedge fund plan. They are in completely unfamiliar territory here.
Which of course outlines the pure hypocrisy of the argument. The moral defendants of the council and its little quango would be less vocal if the club was experiencing success and saw their stance as a barrier to further achievements.
What about this season where we've brought in 20-odd players? And had it not been for Thorn and Shaw, we'd probably be be sat in the top 6 comfortably.
Don't be daft, people are obviously vocal because we are in such a terrible mess and set to potentially go to the wall! If we were in the Champions League we wouldn't have much to moan about. Duh.
That is not the opinion expressed by many though is it? They see it as immoral behaviour and claim they would not condone under any circumstance.
At least we both agree that such a "view" is tosh.
I can't be arsed to read through loads of pages so I'll lay some facts down. SISU got us relegated by failing to invest in an already thin playing squad. SISU then proceded to leave Ken Delieu in charge and he put himself in the dugout, that made us the laughing stock of the footballing nation. Brody then tried to introduce a 'fans decide the subs' concept to the club, again the football world laughed in our pathetic faces. Those 3 reasons alone should be enough to want SISU out of this club.
