I did say no proof but history so far has shown no club our size has gone to the wall, therefore not quite the contradiction you make out. If you are right what we are left with then is death a few years down the line with Sisu or death because Sisu have given up or liquidated and there is no one to take over. In your scenario either way our club is dead.With Sisu gone at least there is hope. I don't expect owners to come in and "invest" millions in our club. Football clubs generally don't make money for their investors. What I do expect is owners who genuinely have the interests of our club and us it's supporters at heart. I don't think Sisu care about CCFC other than the fact it is costing them money. As regards to the way they treat us their "customers", well I think that speaks for itself. They have lied to us continually and treated us and continue to treat us, with utter contempt. I want owners who value their supporters and who tell them the truth. I think you underestimate most fans by saying they only want owners who put in millions.
I am only a second generation Coventrian, as you would guess from my name on here. However I am sick of the way our fans and the potential fans in Coventry and Warwickshire are run down by comments like yours on here. I think that to get 9000 for Saturday's game was magnificent. Others will come on and say look at the gates Leeds, Leicester, Southampton got when they were in this division. They had hope, they had a stadium an acadamy, a training ground not under threat, a board that supported the club, not onte that consists of a part time member who has a loyalty to a hedge fund not our club and our current interim manager. The fact that any body of people in their thousands turns up to watch the joke club we have become is amazing. One glimmer of success in 40 years, continually struggling in what ever league we are in. No other set of fans in the country has had to put up with such lack of success purely in winning games. Yet still people turn up in hpoe to watch, or listen, read or talk about the club and wait for a reason to return.
As has been shown by any glimmer of success people are out there in their thousands waiting to return if given the incentive. You are wrong. Potentially we are a big club, and can certainly rival any of our neighbours such as Leicester et al in terms of gates.
I am sick of Sisu and the way they continue to use our club as a pawn in their pathetic game. I turn up to Trust open meetings, I go on the marches, I throw pigs on pitches. I am continually told on here I am wasting my time. My club is dying. If I think like you or others on here I am to sit idley by and watch us die.
Excellent post !
although I'm sure some will.
