Have the fans who have stated NOPM until SISU have gone got it right?

I've always said no but following todays announcement I'm finding myself questioning that. Are we making it to easy for them by bank rolling the club for them, meaning it cost them nothing to have a vehicle to persue risky legal action?

I must admit, you have me questioning myself. I won't buy a ST but will attend on a match by match basis. But I have got to the point where the sheer despair that SISU bring is getting to be overwhelming and is now damaging the way I view my team.

That about sums it up for me. I have a ticket for tomorrow already so I'm going to go regardless. If I'd planned to pay on the gate I'm not so sure I would be going now. I aint going to make any rash decisions and say NOPM until they've gone but it has pissed me off. I'm going to get Xmas out the way and then think about it again in the new year.

By the time they've finished I wonder how many times they could have paid for the W's deal. Must be getting close too at least once you'd think.

I got lulled into a false mood of optimism and took out a 1/2 season ticket earlier in the week. Following this latest news I'm now regretting it .... and the ticket hasn't arrived in the post yet!

One way or another we have to drive these parasites out of our club, whatever the consequences. They consistently besmirch the reputation of CCFC and of the City of Coventry. Enough is enough.

There is absolutely no way that the small amount of fans we have generates anywhere near enough money to 'bank roll' the club.

Your probably right but we are apparently cash flow positive which can only make things easier for SISU.

There is no way in a million years that we are cash flow positive. Any investment in new players will mean FFP rules are broken.
They cannot even get the merchandising right. The week before Xmas and no stock.

Which surely is a good thing for the football club? I.e Not being reliant on whether sisu decide they want to lend the club money or not.

Overheads. £5,650,000

Money in from transfers (including bonus from Burnley for L.J.) + FA Cup bonanza last season gave the coffers a boost. But you're probably right in that it's not based on day-to-day trading so won't last.

We wouldn't have got much if anything for L.J. Burnley paid less up front than middlesborough paid us. The rest is based on performances including burnley avoiding relegation.

What would all the Anti SISU brigade say IF SISU are shown to be right at the JR and CCFC builds a new stadium?

The City of Coventry is a laughing stock because of the Council that controls it - forget the football - a well known Labour Peer has described it as being like Stalingrad

are you serious sisu have proven themselves to be Liars and shown contempt for the club the actual team on the park and most of all the FANS

They can build a stadium but it will be almost empty except for the last remaining deluded

Say people won't give SISU money. If we had Arsenal away in January it would be different.

Its a snide remark about those that attended the Emirates but wouldn't Sixfields. Apparently they are hypocrites.

However if you are against franchise Rugby, but attended a game at Sixfields and Woolwich Arsenal (sorry just Arsenal these days) then your fine.

Attending a game at Sixfields was find as that is not franchising. I think your other comparison is absurd.

The comment was 'They can build a stadium but it will be almost empty except for the last remaining deluded'

Because by the time they fantaslisingly build THEIR stadium we will be so low on fans, below sixfields numbers

Of course you think that.

You think attending a franchised team is wrong and people shouldn't do it?

I'm asking for a refund.
This will affect the squad further as the costs will come out the CCFC pot. Any efforts will be targeted off the field.
They have sold me a product that doesn't exist
