I think we are all quietly confident that SISU are going. However now it is a matter of time. We need to ensure somehow that they go before the summer or before they get to lift that transfer embargo.

They have clearly shown that getting a penny for any player they can is more important than keeping the club up. next season it will more important than coming back up.

I think if they get their way some people will be shocked at some of the deals they will do. I think they will release players that would be good league one players on free transfers and sell players for as little as £25,000. Players that potentially the receiving clubs will sell on for 200-300k in a year.

How can we assist in speeding up the removal of SISU process.

What was the reason for them moving premises in London was it due to unwanted attention?

Could we somehow press CWR and the Evening Telegraph to start really probing their business deals. Really highlight what they have done at Coventry. Expose the bad business decisions surely most of this information is available under the FOI Act?

If they are getting repeated bad publicity for stupid business deals then surely people will lose face in them as investors. They will want to cut there loses and ditch Coventry if it does any damage to the parent company.

Can the Telegraph find quotes where SISU stated that they were going to buy the stadium in their original business plan. Then get quotes from the council showing how this was never an option due to their secretive, sinister and shoddy business manner for example. Then get business experts to express an opinion on how this rates as a business decision to take on Coventry before you knew the councils view on parting with their share of the stadium.

Get another business expert to look at the saving made by the release and sale of certain players and how this weighs up against the cost of relegation. Again ask the expert for their opinion on SISU's business model

Wish I knew the best way to put pressure on them

Any sensible ideas, other then attacking them and pitch invasions etc....

I will probably get shot down in flames on this one, but how about that Olympic qualifier at the Ricoh. It is only a pound to get in. (I think). 10,000 Cov fans could turn up and chant we want SISU out for 105 minutes.

We get to watch a bit of decent football.

I expect the game will get plenty of attention as it is an Olympic event. Hopefully it will get a lot more attention if it hijacked by thousands of Coventry fans

Maybe with those Ken masks on like Otis mentioned in another post just to get a bit more attention.

Imagine 10,000 Ken deluded faces chanting we want SISU OUT for 105 minutes the press would have to ask what the bloody hell is that all about?

I like the "buy Olympics tickets and chant for the full game" idea. Definitely something to mull over people.

Just had another idea. To get the telegraph to start doing some investigative journalism. Why don't we boycott the telegraph. We can read it online for free anyway. I know they seem scared of sisu. However they represent about 50000 cov supporters. Most of whome would like some questions asked. If they are ignored or lied to challenge it. Print it. On a quite day the big boys will run a story on it.

Yeah. I think security would come down on protesters like a tonne of bricks. You'd end up classed along side the looters from the summers riots. Most of the other spectators probably even know what a SISU is!

Exactly you are right most of them wont know what SISU is.

That is the whole point. We need to get the word out there what SISU is.

When the world's media look at the RICOH and what a fabulous stadium it is. They need to hear the term SISU so they understand why such a fabulous stadium will be hosting 3rd division football for the first time in 48 years!

Even if for some reason we get bad publicity in the media it will still be publicity that SISU's owners will not want and they will want shot of the club ASAP so they dont get repeats

What can the stewards do if you are stood peacefully chanting SISU Out.

You have paid your money you are not threatening or abusing anyone

They would be on a hiding to nothing media wise if they over react.

As Saturday is likely to be relegation day we're bound to get a decent sized write up in the Sunday papers. If we can make or feelings known in front of the journos on Saturday it should be guaranteed a mentioned in the papers.

Wouldn't surprise me if we're the feature game on the FL show and get second by second coverage on Sky. Both can't wait to chuck salt in the wounds.

I believe the manager and players said they found it distracting and it was doing more harm than good.

However I am not too concerned about the impact it will have on Oman or Senegals players
