Please please leave before you completely destroy the club. That's if it's not already too late

won't leave as have too much invested keep us hovering around in the non-league lower leagues with minimal investment hoping to sell us for a lot more than we are worth (not likely) or get the Ricoh on their terms (even more unlikely).

It all rests on the JR imho - that's what SISU are waiting for - why do you think we've made all these loan signings? Bank the Arsenal and Leon C revenue, but don't invest in the team, and certainly don't return to the Ricoh - continue playing hardball on the offchance of a return on their 'investment' by getting the Ricoh on the cheap. I said after the Notts C match that we're more likely to be relegated than make the play-offs. I've virtually lost all interest now until SISU fuck off. OP's 'Slow Death' is the right term.

Things are bad. They'll probably get worse, but we are Coventry city fans. We're used to being dealt a shit hand.
Things can't keep going down forever, we are due some luck, hope and happiness at some point.
Keep the faith.

I admire your optimism, I can only see 2 relegations or liquidation before the end of the 3-5 year deal agreed between sisu and fl

it can get worse. Ask Luton !

We are a team who play 34 miles from home and just over 1.5k watch them. That is simply no basis for a long term league club

seppala, fisher, labovich, waggott, or anyone else connected,
EXPLAIN YOURSELVES,
you are closer to a very angry scenario than you perhaps realise

Haha good luck trying to point that out on here, it seems most of them need a little time to catch up. Some of them probably still believe the council love the club and would bend over backwards to get us back in Coventry.

The melodramatic posts are entertaining though. I did think the OP was talking to the NOPM (unless we play Arsenal) mob for a while.

Face it, the people of Coventry couldnt give a fuck about the club. A city of 300k+ and about 14k can be arsed to spend 2 mins signing the petition..

I don't agree with this. I understand your frustration however we all fell the same but at the end of the day we all want best for the club and frustration comes through.

Are you serious in asking this question? Didn't you read the interview with Joy Seppala?

Seppala stated that she want a return for her investors - which isn't unreasonable. If they put £30m in and continue to cover losses of £1m plus for the next three years then SISUs investment goes up.

They then need to cover that and make more. Any return on investment is moving further away at present.

I disagree with this. The people of Coventry do care about Coventry City. There is a growing realisation that the club's owners don't care about the club's and its supporters / customers.

First thing is for the owners to demonstrate they care for the club and the fans. After alienating 90% of home support that's a big ask - probably beyond them.

That reasoning doesn't make sense. Surely the fact that sisu haven't demonstrated this would be more reason than ever for people to sign it.

Great point skybluelee but the supporters know that the owners aren't listening... The large protests in the City centre showed that. Why take the time to sign when you know no-one's listening?
