Really? Sell a community asset to a hedge fund? Really?
Apparently the council were not elected to run a sports complex and many wanted them to sell ..................They DID!
SISU are not elected to run this City properly
I'll ride naked on my horse through Coventry.

No but they have a fucking big responsibility to run our football club properly! Sick and fucking tired of people deflecting bullshit back towards people like CCC/ACL/Higgs etc when they have fuck all to do with the club now.
Ccc are not elected to run a football team.
So what has that to do with the way CCC operates
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.

What would all the Anti SISU brigade say IF SISU are shown to be right at the JR and CCFC builds a new stadium?
CCC are not elected to ensure the financial viability of CCFC.
Seriously. What untruth do you think they've told? Or are you just taking SISU's word for it?
Suspect you've replied to the wrong post there, or you've misread mine

I think you will find that Higgs have truly taken a back seat in the blame game it is currently Joe Elliot, Ranson and Gary Hoffman dropping to 6th place. Beaten recently by a surge of form from a previously unseeded Andy Goode! A recent change in form for the CET following change in tactics due to a change of striker, has seen them move to 4th in the table. 3rd is the Higgs Charity falling out the top two for the first time in 4 years. The Council for the first time in 4 years have been knocked off their perch as the 'Barcelona' of the blame game.
Wasps have recently spent big and its paid off, they came as a complete dark horses. Very few mentioned them last year and were laughed at. However here they are the current top cause of all things Evil.
(Please note the blame game always comes with the caveat 'I know SISU are mostly to blame but......)
Or a thread gushing over how proud people are of the council?

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.
Just me ( probably) and I know you will hate this but I still am. In my opinion they did the right thing no question. It's odd to say it as what they did shafted CCFC. However they clearly did the right thing and it was one hell of a ballsy decision
It is a lot easier to slate them because this is a CCFC supporters forum.
However I have yet to hear any argument that makes sense as to why you would turn down Wasps ( if you are not a CCFC fan)
Anne Lucas is a Cov fan as I would guess are a lot of the councillors they made a decision I am sure was not one they hoped they would have to make.
So yes sorry Nick I am still proud of them.
I have met our owners and I actually like them as people. I just completely disagree with their approach to this situation.
Why is it a ballsy decision - no one outside if CCFC would have cared less who they sold it to. Most of the city don't give a stuff.
They made the decision to save their collective skin - having a council owned company defaulting on a council funded loan would be political suicide. Still if that makes you proud, well.......
So you're saying they made the right decision?
No they didn't - they should have offered the identical deal to the club - that would have been the right decision. Or they tough it out and assist the community based club as other councils such as Nottingham when they allowed significant defaults in payments to occur when the club was in trouble.

Nopm is a cowards way out. It's like fans who try to get in without paying and then moan the club has no money. Owners come and go but I always thought my football club would always be here! The truth is that nopm could lead to them having no club to return to when they are ready
SISU are not elected to run this City properly
CCC have still a loan outstanding and have a NED on the Board of ACL

Thank you Pete for your opinion. This is the type of post I wanted to read as an argument against NOPM rather than another they did this they did that.
Did you by any chance see the news coverage about Hereford united last night where they have arrived at the scenario you've described?
The fans actually seemed relieved that it was over and they now had the oppertunity to start again without the "money men" and build a community based team.
I know that they are/were lower down the leagues than us so they can get back to where they were quicker than us but how much lower will SISU take us before we end up going out of existance like Hereford under SISU? We might not have as far to climb as we currently do to get back to where we are by then.
So it begs the question. Is NOPM a risk worth taking if it rid us of this cancer?
You can't compare us to Hereford, they had far far less to lose than us. We have seen a lot of non league clubs go busy and rise back from the league's. They will basically start where we would have to start yet will only need 2-3 promotions not 5-6 promotions to get back to where they are. They have crowds of a few hundred anyway (according to wiki their ground only holds 1k), so relatively they won't lose much revenue if they lose some fans.
No, I don't think NOPM is worth the risk, people will get out the habit of going, find other stuff to do, lose the bug - we've already heard a lot of this because of Sixfields. When we go pop, people won't come back in droves, we'll still be in the same position of no stadium, renting the Ricoh but with 800-1k fans watching 9th tier football.
How many of those NOPM went to arsenal? Or will go the next big cup away day? Or will go to a home play off semi final? Or the play off final if we got there? That's giving money to the club. And for me, if you're NOPM don't moan about lack of signings, don't moan about us selling players and don't moan about callum wilson/arsenal money.
NOPM will only harm the club. If you don't want to go fair enough, don't hide behind a slogan.

Now answer my question - if SISU win the JR and prove CCC have been lying then what?
lying about what?..............The court case has nothing to do about a lie
What would all the Anti SISU brigade say IF SISU are shown to be right at the JR and CCFC builds a new stadium?
then I would start to believe in santa again
