Nick mentioned earlier about Jim getting on at Fisher to pay fans travel costs to Wembley. He just didn't seem to get the point of why fans are so frustrated with sisu when I listened to the interview. That was my take on it anyway.

I heard that interview. Jim White explained after it why had to adapt a more softly softly approach towards Tim Fisher in order that he may persuade him to come back on the show on future occasions.

Jim is a very well connected journalist.

I usually get my wife to hide my IPad when I go out on the piss, to prevent me
Venting my pickled spleen on here when I get home.
She sometimes forgets, and the next day I have to look at it at arms length with
Frowning face and squinting eyes.

keeps ccfc in limelight as we are NEVER mentioned outside local media much

Fisher?

He took us all away on holiday to Northampton. Well not all. Most of us couldn't make it or could think of better places to go. Like Coventry.

And in our darkest hour he has been a comedian and made us laugh. OK he wasn't funny most of the time. But he has been a joke of a chairman. And he has done it all for free.

Keeping CCFC in the limelight doesn't help fans does it? Again, it's that obsession with exposure and "plight".

Media exposure to our situation certainly doesn't do any harm at all.
It may do some good so I for one say the more the merrier and it's nice that someone on national radio gives a rats ass about our situation but doesn't just focus on the top teams.
It's just as shame he is not as informed as he should be when he does the interviews

The whole "he does nothing but good" for fans is shite.

An example of people who do nothing but good for fans I'd say are volunteers who give up their days for matchdays etc. Not a presenter who gives 5 minutes airtime every so often for his talkshow.

Uninformed airtime doesn't really help does it?

again its you being a twat and arguing for arguing sake.

keeping it in public limelight can still keep the tiniest amount of pressure on efl to act if things get worse etc. it does no harm whatsoever regardless so give the guy a break.

Yes, as confirmed by where I put "I want us to roll over".

There's a difference between pointing out when Jim White (or even Micky Quinn) start ranting on the radio and showing they are misinformed about the situation. Fisher hasn't been grilled by him and as always the moment they slip or say something uninformed he focuses on it. Exactly what he did when White seriously suggested SISU to pay for all the fans to go to Wembley.

Why do people get happy when it gets talked about? Why do people get happy when they see a protest?

I don't understand it. I can understand why people get angry about it, but happy?

I don't understand how after our club and us supporters have been treated by SISU that anyone could get angry with a protest that doesn't affect a game.

are you for real?

hope brings happiness. a piece on national media or a protest(which is done to get attention) are all done in the hope it helps matters. be it an aussie consortium listening to talkspot decding to join or efl thinking humm lets check in with sisu regarding rent deal expiring etc. hope its alla bout hope

what would you prefer? everyone roll over and let sisu continue to kill club? i mean you couldnt even stay silent about the takeover bid, you wanted every little detail in public. then when it happened you complained.

strange

So now you have just read Astute give it the "roll over" line and piled that one in

Why should I stay silent about the takeover bid? Have you? Have other city fans?

If people want to keep getting happy over hope on the off chance we get a take over every time it's on the radio or every time Hoffman speaks then it's down to them. I'd love a takeover and I will be happy the minute it happens, not every time there is a discussion or interview about it just to be let down every other day.

What would you call it then?

You say you want each bid to be kept quiet. But Joy won't talk. Someone else comes out into the open. You blame him for trying to get us not to buy season tickets even though he says his kids already have one.

I could go on. But it is the usual groundhog day.

oh here we go, nick gets pulled up on his wumming and hesays everyone is throwing out a line on him

your rep on here is nosediving

how can you say why should i or other fans be silent about a takeover but when media wants to talk about it for their listeners its wrong? you have just admitted its something interesting to ccfc fans. you cannot sit there and make out like a national radio interview is something tht should not appeal to anyone interested in the takeover.

The aim should be a takeover / success for CCFC. I can fully understand that obsession.
