I'm sorry for the injuries you and your child sustained during my violent attack.

What I do see is the attack of fans who don't attend the Ricoh for whatever reason, perhaps karma comes round that way?

The points I see on here are mainly aimed at people with "strong morals" who go against them. Nobody says much when somebody says "football is shite, it does my head in".

Didn't you bring kids into it when you made a point of saying how you made a point of how you raised them to know right and wrong which is why they couldn't go to games / have a city shirt? (or something like that).

Is it an "attack" to just point out how people with self proclaimed strong morals they like to try and "flex" quite easily go against them?

Pretty sure I mentioned my own children but no-one elses. And it still stands, i don't take them anymore, it's too negative.

I think Torch is still strung on the part where I said going to Sixfields was morally wrong IMO, but If you can't take peoples opinion on the chin and have to mention it repeatably over and over again, I guess it hit a nerve.

Life goes on does it not?

No worries. Obviously comes easy to you. Look forward to more abuse next season when you find your morals again down the back of the sofa.

Not sure what you expect when you tell people what's morally right or wrong and then go against your own?

Really not sure why you think it hit a nerve rather than you just making yourself look a bit silly throwing "morals" about to just go against them?

I'll look forward to the blaming of the fans for our continued demise and lack of talent on the pitch.

Now we both have something to look forward to in August

Not just Sixfields. You said attending the Ricoh was morally wrong. You said i was being a bad example to my lad who also attends. That's why i take issue with hypocrites like yourself.

How have I possibly gone against my own morals? Because of Wembley? explain how someone who's been to over 30 games this season is going against his morals? Also show me my last post where i've screamed for people to be NOPM??

Why do you think my first home game back was against Sheff Utd? To see Slade and his magic? Did I not PM you and pre warn you about what was going to happen that game?

My morals are correct, I still want SISU out, and will contiune to fight the fight to make it happen, I won't just throw money at CCFC for a football fix. It isn't fixing the problem is it????

So because you went to a game because there was a protest on it means things about morals etc is dropped? So you don't (didn't) refuse to go to the Ricoh because of morals or principles? Surely whether you said NOPM last week or in 2007 it's going against your morals? To be fair, I think maybe only Sky Blue Kid has backed it up.

Slade wasn't here against sheff utd, so I would hope it wasn't him.

There is nothing against your morals saying you want SISU out, just when your morals mean mentioning fans who do go to games

Oh and as for the negativity and kids if you keep them away from the negativity it isn't as bad! They can still go to football with their dad and it not be a negative time even if we lose! Granted not as good as a win but they don't have to be in the middle of the negativity.

Definitely will get a season ticket. We would see the numbers come flooding back if we started positively in league 2. The accounts show that we run as a break even business so my opinion is that if everyone stops going, there will be less money to invest in playing staff. I still believe NOPM only harms Coventry City and not SISU.

So many post seem to get dragged away from the original question its hard to even bother trolling through the pages!

Back on point: No. They will need to earn my support now for letting me down so badly this last decade or so.

He's nailed on to stay if he can prove he's fit and wants to, as he hasn't played for an entire season.

Anyone out there who was undecided or unlikely to renew now having a rethink?
Must admit I wasn't going to renew next season, but this gives food for thought . We are relegated, Robins or not, but if the club are showing the slightest signs of ambition then that's welcome.
Click to expand...

No, had enough of Fisher and SISU. Just because we take on a new manger who walked out on us and has been out of work for 12 months we are not changing our minds.
Till we get serious new owners and a CEO who we can trust and has some infinity with the fans/ customers we are not having STs again.
Wish him well but still out.

I was getting one for next season regardless of who was in charge, i think there will be a few that change their mind after Robins appointment.
A good run of games showing decent levels of passion and commitment from now to the end of the season may also sway a few tho.

The one thing his appointment does do, for me anyway, is to hopefully make the last few games of the season a little more palatable, i will be going up on Saturday hoping to see the same team playing like a different team, anticipation and hope, MK away after he`s had a couple of weeks with the squad could be a good day out.
Probably expecting too much, but it can never be as bad as the last 3 months, heres hoping.

Would also like to keep Beavon and Stevenson and Harries and Reilly and maybe Clarke too.

Pretty sure Harries and Stevenson will be gone.

In my opinion, most of the squad will be gone before next season starts.
But I guess it depends on their ambition and what they are earning.
I'm just hoping Burge and RCC are gone as well.

Burge is out of contract. I'd expect RCC to be here as at least backup, hope to God we get some experience in there though.

Not for me but I have not bought a ST since the Sixfields time.

As for Robins -who incidentally saw his star burn itself out very quickly at Huddersfield and is now working for the people he could not wait to get away from in 2013- it does not matter how good the manager, if the owners do not back the bloke then he will end up like the rest. When will the penny drop ?

Hope you're right, but I think if he plays some games now until the end of the season he will be in demand in the summer.

Slade said he was almost ready to come back last week.

It's still a no from me as far as a season ticket. As long as SISU remain there are too many obstacles to recovery. Will go on Saturdays as things stand. Looking for many more positive signs before I commit as we have had these false dawns numerous times before.

No mate, you can give him though a 9mm bullet directly to the temple, i'd be more than willing to pay in excess of £10 for that...

We would then need two keepers though.

Burge's contract is up, so I would be inclined to bring a new keeper in and have RCC as back up.

They do go football, every saturday morning with Bedworth Eagles.

We're going to League Two because of SISU, you realise that don't you?

Can you really not fathom why people refuse to continue the funding of such venture?

You've watched Dragons Den before surely? Imagine you was one of them and I came to you with a proposal of funding my venture (ccfc) without a return, what would you say?

Then we should look for two keepers, Yakubu's wages could cover at least one of them.
