What really bugs me about this whole situation is that fans and the team have to shoulder the burden of financial mismanagement. All the reports I read and hear always drag the club's name through the mud. Yet it is the owners who have set up this whole situation, starting with BR and the, frankly, obscene way Highfield Rd was sold and the loss of any form of ownership of any part of the Ricoh. Next SISU our 11th hour "saviours".
It is a sad state of affairs that this day has come, inevitable as it seemed to be. The entity that is Coventry City FC and it's fans lose out through no fault of their own. SISU? Yes, they lose a lot of cash but they still exist and trade with little negative effect.
Football clubs need to be looked after as though the 'owners' are custodians, not left unchecked to use them as play-things to run into oblivion and move on when it all goes belly up. But I don't know how such a model could be implemented across the whole league.
PLay up Sky Blues, keep the faith, we'll rise again someday.
