Show me the evidence on that one.
Certainly no evidence on the pitch.
Fair play rules from Sixfield takings wouldn't allow it surely ?

It would i think if the owners put in money as equity or summat like that, we had Clarke, Baker and Murphy at sixfields who probably would have been among the top earners in the division

Obviously andreas has attended the same business masterclass and charm school as Tim Fisher. Loudmouths on an internet chat forum - or should I have written that all in capitals. The huge losses in 2013/14 crowds of under 2,000 were also frankly an embarrassment - all caused by the current owners, its repercussions will last for a long time but I need to do as Andreas say be quiet accept the SISU way as they clearly know what they are doing.

Oh its STILL all the owners fault isnt it. Bet Mowbray will be delighted to hear you keep bleating on about that.

IF anyone thinks knocking a few quid of a season ticket is going to undo all the recent untold damage done by sisu , they are deluded

Still advocating holding the team to ransom then until you are personally satisfied with our owners. Unbelievable hubris.

Early bird ends 30 June, surely it would make sense to extend it just by one day to include the opening of the new shop. Unveil the new kits the same day and have a couple of new signings announced the same day and modelling the new kit at the unveiling could give sales a good boost.

Yeah, that's a good call. Some people seem entrenched in their position though.

I guess it would have had to have taken Sisu to bring Jose Mourinho in as manager before some would commit.

The club have brought in a very good manager in Tony Mowbray. If you have faith in him, buy a season ticket on the back of that.

I'm guessing now if we start doing well and Mowbray is snatched from us by another club, people will be blaming Sisu for that too.

Back the team and the manager. I don't care at all for Sisu either, but this has to be about prioritising.

Number 1 - Being a Coventry City supporter foremost.

Number 2 - Backing the new manager.

Number 3 - Sisu.


We back the manager and turn up and he is the right man for the job then we are much more likely to be successful. The more successful we are the more chance of Sisu leaving.

No just SISU OUT would do for many !!...................Honest owners, transparency, no more talk of stadium la la land, no more court cases, work with our new landlords, engage with all the old fan base, decent marketing.

How would you like the "old fan base" (whoever the fuck they are) to be "engaged" other than cheapest ever season tickets? If you are going to throw back the meaningless old mantra "SISU OUT" in the faces of the clubs management every time they do something wholly positive, then you are just as culpable in the decline of the club.

Okay, Ash, fine, but the season is fast approaching us now. We need the product right on the pitch. Top priority. We now have the right manager. Trust in him to build a competitive team.

We need a good season this year. That is the number one priority. Just saying we want Sisu out isn't going to achieve anything at all. They are not going anywhere right now.

This is our team and our club and we need to back the manager, a manager I think the vast majority of us believe is the right man for the job.

We need to take the blinkers off I'm afraid. We are Coventry City fans before anything else and that is what we should be focusing on right now.

Seems to me like we should have just brought any old tinpot manager in, cause for some, whoever was in charge, fans still wouldn't turn up.

Before they ripped out the clubs PC's and dumped them in a wagon on Bayton Rd, they had a data base of nigh on 250,000 fans from single visitors to ST holders, I and many others regularly received marketing and promotions, now we don't !
TM is a step forward and his influence on certain issues has been positive but waiting { apparently } for incoming revenue before investment in the team will lead to us missing primary targets again.
Considering we are now set out to only spend what we take in income then a fans consortium could run the club with more honesty and integrity. SISU are not putting anything in anymore, the club is being funded solely by the fans ?!

Another interesting point is 25% of season tickets are to new customers, I think the price has worked on that score.

If we hit the top 6 then the supporters will start to return in their droves. Too many of us are too long in the tooth to get sucked into these pre-season false flag promises, the proof is in the pudding or in this case on the pitch.
Employing Mowbray and giving him what he needs for the job was all positive, but with SISU we're always one step away from controversy and disappointment.

Andreas quotes
How would you like the "old fan base" (whoever the fuck they are)
"bleating on"
Seem to show more anger to cov fans than SISU.

Last season home to Swindon on a Monday apparently there were 7,000 fans there (I think it was less than 6,000) - whose fault, who drove a large proportion of the fans with sixfields move, lost 3-0 we were awful, whose fault we had a poor manager with such a poor team. Leaving that game was probably when I decided that was the end of my ST, irrespective of SISU although they are totally to blame, demonstrable evidence of investment in the team improvement results on the pitch bigger crowds etc.. fans will return, blind faith isn't there anymore for me and other fans. Haven't ruled out getting a ST but sons don't want to go friends and family have stopped getting STs. Its not the cost that will encourage me to get a ST its the lack of faith / hope which is preventing me.

I think you have definitely been on a few SISU charm management courses my sob story that I was whinning on about is a reason why a lot of fans won't renew - but for you sixfield regulars 3,000 will be a huge improvement

we will end up with 5000+ season ticket holders

if we can stay in the top half we will average 10k
and for a team with not a sniff of success in a generation (the least successful team in world football in that time - probably) - we are well supported

if we get a sniff of the playoffs after xmas and are playing attractive football I think we can get in excess of 13,000. That would be some achievement from where we have fallen.

Sorry? remind me that's when people were saying that Higgs had to get their money back and what acl on its initial lease was worth £30 million plus?

That the place was a gold mine and that acl didn't need the club anyway?

Ok smartarse let's say we wake up tomorrow and Sisu say that they've decided enough is enough and walk away. You telling me someone is in the wings to take it on at its current budgeted level - who?

Almost anyone could take it on, SISU are not subsidising it now on it's current expenditure/income ratio. As long as they fucked off and took their debt interest payment expectations with them then a small time business consortium could take the reins. We wouldn't have any bigger budget but we wouldn't have any less either !
