This "we should be getting massive gates" argument is nonsense.

Seriously? What, outside of the Premiership? I could name many clubs that have catchment areas much bigger than ours that do not get close to gates of 32,500 - ever. The Bournemouth conurbation is bigger than Coventry, should they get 32,500 too? Birkenhead is about the same size, should Tranmere get those sort of gates? Huddersfield (Kirklees) is over 400,000, what about them? Yet again people grossly overstate the size of our catchment area.

there are no plans, there will be no "new ground", they have no interest in the football team, they are using the football club as a corporate debt dump.
Sisu may have had the ricoh and the surrounds in their sights initially but they can pile far more debt onto ccfc than they could ever have made, either by owning and / or eventually cashing in on selling the ricoh.
Work it out, you don't have to be a financial whizz to see that there is no financial gain in owning a third rate football club, they will never get their hands on the ricoh (the council have just as much stated that), so for what reason would they be sticking around?
Fund the club for the next five years...my arse!
What they really mean is lend it more money from their own companies to the ever increasing debt mountain.
I really feel for the young football fans living in coventry, they will not have the chance to "belong" as most of us on here do(which ever way you feel about the current fiasco-we are all city fans).
There will be no great memories for them like some of us have had the good fortune to have, like beating the arsenals, man uniteds and cheseas, or seeing some of the "greats" best,charlton,moore,banks,gascoigne,shearer and the influx of foreign stars like henry,bergkamp,cantona,zola all of which were put to the sword by the mighty sky blues!!
The move back to the ricoh is imperative if any of us ever garner a hope of some day that the club may once again return to the top tier, certainly not the premise of building something that only exists in the spin of a hedge fund puppet to pacify the football league.
I have always thought in the past how difficult it must be for the "stay away" supporters to not want to come back into the fold as such, and i could never have imagined myself losing that skyblueness (!) but the old saying of "absence makes the heart grow stronger" is being severely tested for me i guess.

So kcic v sisu out.. Just f**k off seppalla, i need my football club back.
