No real point arguing with you all but most fans have seen the light and maybe one day you will too. Until then keep believing in Santa and the tooth fairy

I'd support CCFC whether SISU, Wasps, the council, Katie Hopkins, Piers Morgan or anybody else owned them. There is no hypocrisy here, I'd still go as much as I physically could.

Can you point out where I have been "deluded" and spoken about a great return to the premier league or anything even remotely close to that?

Seems that you haven't really got a clue and it it's more aimless ranting.

You keep going on about "most fans" and "majorities".

Did you see how many fans went to Wembley or do you ignore that or say it doesn't count?

I just believe in supporting the team I support and have since I was born.

Nah, you love them. You won't admit it here of course, but deep down you know it's true. Fact. Sheeple. Majority.

Must be something going on, strangely they get more and more ranty and even more aimless as time goes on.

You can always tell you're going to get gold when you see some usernames. When THEYVE KILLED MY CLUB or TOPFAN4EVA stop lurking and start posting, watch out for a whirlwind of reason and sense.

Normally a sign that we're about to get shafted by the council or Wasps when these posts start appearing.

And do you really think starving them of money until the club has folded and is no more is better?

Well around 45 thousand other people did. I suspect the majority of them want this club alive and well. If you want to kill it you can fuck off and support Truro City.

You mean somebody ranting about people being hypocrites is actually being hypocritical? Banging on about people believing in Santa and the Tooth fairy yet preaching stuff he has no idea if it would work as fact.

Why not? For once SISU brought us success- yes I know tin pot trophy and all that. But, if ever there was a reason to show support for City, then that was it. SISU have mismanaged the Club, but 43000 fans proved that there was a point to Coventry City and should any mug think about buying us - SISU then leaving - then that showed that there is despite everything, still a valid reason to invest in CCFC. If we had all stayed away, 1 we wouldn't have a budget to get these new signings which may lead to promotion, or at least some excitement, and 2 there would be even less chance of anyone offering SISU money for the club.

As I said it's your choice but when you see the "crowds" this year maybe then you'll realise you are a minority in your thinking and many, many others have seen the light. SISU have already killed the club sadly

I'll look at the crowd 5 or 6 times next season and think of you not being there. Only the 5 or 6 times you're not there though.

I'm not sure that scenario is possible. At best, with current owners, L1 is our new Premiership. I think that's as good as we will get. Realistically, not just pipe dreams of how good we were. Those days are gone unless we get new owners with 100 million to invest, then we might return to top flight. We r drifting.

Funny. Born and bred. Dad took me up. So in my blood. But watching this level of football is dire. Even more dire, is the realisation that it never gonna get any better. Cup runs only left.

So what then? Give up? Let you be the end of the line for something that's run in your family for generations?

Either that which I genuinely think is fair enough. Or whinge about it and at people who do decide to still go on a forum.

No not give up. My kids r City fans, but only to listen to my moans. They rarely go up. They have lives away from football, it's not that important in the scale of things. I still go to games cause I love my club, but I've lowered my expectations. Very hard to accept for some. I don't begrudge any fan going to support City. Just don't moan when we lose talented players that are too good for this club. It's the new reality. So no, don't give up. But if we stay in this league I will.

We have lost talented players too good for us for as long as I can remember. It isn't a new thing and it isn't only a CCFC thing.

It was not them that won it though was it. Don't forget the budget was cut again last year and it was our worst ever team, we fluked it.

Yes, we are a lower league club. It's how they survive?

Again, it's not specific to CCFC.

Go on I'll bite, we've sold one player (Harries), lost 1, (Bigi) and possibly lose another (Thomas) regardless of season ticket sales - Harries has gone to a premier league club, possibly not suited to LG2 - would take 2/3 years to develop so we've cashed in, Bigi was mediocre - maybe MR didn't see any value in matching Motherwell's offer? - Thomas could go to the prem - for a fee of 500k, win/win on that one for all parties especially for a player who scored 4 league goals all season....

But I've asked before, why would the club losing money drive SISU away? Surely they'll just sell more and cut the budget to suit? No reason to go
