Is this a bad time to say that I agree with Mr. Linnell?

Stuart. Any chance you could play Cliff Richard, Wired For Sound. ?

You got it wrong Stuart
There is clearly a Majority of fans Who want the slippery sisu out of town, how anyone in your position can pretend they are not culpable is amazing, let me assure you that you are doing yourself no favors by promoting a clear Sisu Bias, I like you, think that the current owners won't go without a fight, even if it means the total destruction of our club, the truth is, they came to our club seriously underfunded, have never made it clear what their Business plan was, and have always thought a Dialogue with the fans was beneath them, they have destroyed the dreams of the supporters.and have turned a once admired Broadcaster into a Sisu apologist

I always thought the BBC was supposed to be unbiased! This nimrod takes every possible chance to attack ACL, yet NOT ONCE having a go at sisu! He is a total disgrace - and should be sacked. he should NOT be allow to peddle his crap on the BBC

Mr Linnell should give more air time to both sides. He says he is unbiased but in my opinion there are occasions when he defends the actions of SISU and it worries me that he cannot see any further than them being in charge. He repeats this mantra when he is met with any people who dare to say that SISU have been bad for the club. The closest he seems to get to any recognition is making an acknowledgement that SISU say that they have made major errors in the past and they want to put it right.......

Sad really, I for one want to give a different organisation the chance to run out club. And have a press that is open to the prospect. I would also like him to take a leaf out of Kevin Phillips book and act like a true professional on the radio.

I wonder if he has actually paid for a ticket to see City play? That does not make him any less qualified than the next man but he should at least listen to their points of view.

If it's a free country why's he screaming about Linnell saying things he doesn't like? Shown up massively.

Granted, this site is full of SISU out coffin whittlers... but GMK is more reasoned on the subject.

Because he has been called out on radio and to be fair they wouldnt let him on to put his side across even if he managed to get through me and you say things about each other can disagree thats the way it goes if we all start getting lawyers involved then these sites will close because we will all become fearfull of what we say.
Oh by the way I am not being slanderous about anyone:facepalm:

He's been rightly called out on radio specifically for making allegations he's now trying to backtrack from, not simple things that people can disagree on.

The guy is mostly ok... How do you know everyone on sbt is a city fan? Maybe he is proSisu, but that's ok, yes he shouldn't air his personal views on the radio, but these are tense times for all city fans and we all have our views on the situation.

Maybe your point would be more valid if your didn't call people names and go in for character assassination just because someone dose not agree with your point of view.

It's sisu for crippling the club(with the help of previous regimes) ... ACL for robbing us of the chance of getting into the playoffs...

Is the guy taking the flack because he is the only person you can attack, I mean you can't get at Joyce seppala and even if you could she wouldn't give a damn.
Maybe you should organise a survey for the next home game to find out if the majority of fans who attend games really want sisu out ... Then you could deliver it to him

He sticks to his opinion, which is blatantly pro-SISU. The only time he's ever criticised them was when Thorn was the manager and he was using them as an excuse for Thorn's failure. Since then, he's quietly re-alligned himself. He's not in their pay, but he is incredibly biased, and hence unfit to host debate on the subject of ACL versus SISU.

I have never disagreed more with a post. Other than those by Grendel.

Lets be careful - as it appears Mr Linnell is in a litigious mood.

TODAY I attempted to contact your radio show @ 17:51 29/03/13 - NO one picked up the phone!

I GENUINELY believed that you were paid by SISU for the after match experience in corporate section. I believed thism because I saw on your webpage (before you re-vamped) that what you said you did (as part of your self promotion). If I was wrong - I am wrong and have no probs retrtacting errors!

But Will YOU retract what you said when you called ANYONE who thought Andy Thorn should be sacked an idiot? The BBC staff noted at the time you did say that, it was unusual. Do you still believe they are idiots?

Also what do you mean by real sky blue fans? Because some don't follow the club in PRECISELY the same way as you does that make them false fans? Are people in the armed forces not real fans if they don't go to every game?

Will you retract that statement?

To be honest I have wasted far more effort on this guy than it is worth. I certainly don't hev to justify myself to this guy!

Okay I'm in a generous mood so I looked up his previous site and so can you, the pages are available here http://web.archive.org/web/20111007064657/http://www.stuartlinnell.co.uk/testimonials.htm and it does say
Stuart Linnell MBE is the resident match-day corporate hospitality host for Coventry City Football Club at the Ricoh Arena.
Click to expand...
and then goes on to sing his praises in relation to the work he has done for the club.

However that quote is also there in April 2008 http://web.archive.org/web/20081202140013/http://www.stuartlinnell.co.uk/testimonials.htm and so could be from the previous owners commercial director.

So to sum this up we can say from this evidence that he worked for CCFC* not specifically SISU and it is important to make that distinction clear.

*which subsidiary company is largely irrelevant in this case, not in the case of Admin/FL/FA

Surely he couldn't physically host 2 things at the same game / time?
