Wow a minute your post shouldn't have been included I was answering the other post. Also where have I supported Wasps?
If you were not talking to me... I was not talking to you
Can we talk again?
Are you pretending to not understand my point ,or do you not see itLol Dann and Fox going. So we never sold anyone before that??
Same here Italia , I thought they would bring long term security and consistency going forward . Christ , that went out of the window with Dann and Fox going .Shame could have been so different
It was the tipping point really. It's where Ranson's plan fell apart. I suspect SISU gave Ranson X amount. He budgeted on a larger crowd. When the money ran out SISU wouldn't hand over more so he had to start selling.
Wasn't it at that point he initially tried to leave? Knew his plan was screwed. Once he started selling there was no way we were getting into the PL to be sold off at a huge profit for SISU.
How could you have expected a hedge fund to provide long term security. They never hid their original plan which was to try and gain promotion before selling the club on; they had also been turned down by numerous other clubs.
Sisu were also the council's favoured bid I believe?
Indeed. Imagine seeing property costs of £1.2m + additional matchday costs and a built in escalator to increase it on promotion. In return they got none of the income generated from their presence.Of course they were... they weren't at that time prepared to challenge the deal in place, which effectively saw the council robbing the club blind.
On reflection, is it any wonder that no one ever got close to taking over the club before SISU when they saw how shitty the stadium situation was?

The point I was trying to make was yes the crowds were lower when Robbins was manager than they are now not would be even higher if we had not been to Sixfields.On a serious note... I thought you were suggesting I had missed the point... but you weren't talking directly to me, so apologies as my post wasn't therefore aimed at you.
In reference to my point - I don't think that Wasps and SISU are measured using the same standards. If they were then it might be more apparent how similar they in fact are.
I just wish we could turn the clock back to have gone into admin before Sisu arrived took the hit and be out of this nightmare.

On your other point yes they are similar the difference is that Wasps saw an opportunity and took it. I've been against this deal from the start both as a fan and a council tax payer. The people who will ultimately lose will be the citizens of Coventry if Sisu win however in the medium term the fans could benefit because I feel Sisu will take the money and sell to Wasps. If they do then the question will be was this planned?
Whatever happens there will be people who will be delighted Sisu win/lose CCC win/lose etc etc. I just wish we could turn the clock back to have gone into admin before Sisu arrived took the hit and be out of this nightmare.
Have a like for this bit.
Alas, that didn't suit the players at the time...
Don't include me in that 'us'.Admin sounded horrendous especially with points deduction.
Sisu were sold as our saviours and most of us bought into it.
Knowing what we know now, after the CCFC financial course, admin and no Sisu would be not scary anymore.

That said Ransons backing of coleman was a mistake

Given Ranson's dealings with Cardiff (and Leeds to a lesser extent) he'd shown himself cut from the same cloth as SISU.
A match made in hell.

No it's not most people did at the timeThat's just bollocks...
That's just bollocks...
I can't remember back exactly but it was on CWR minute by minute countdown and when it was announced that Sisu had saved us it was as if the world had been saved.
Can't remember many dissenters but I don't think I was on Sky-blue talk at the time so I had yet to meet the people who knew everything.
Here we go, just a little reminder. :claping hands:

Well the backing as preferred bidder by CCC and such luminaries as Lucas and Mutton, may have helped promote the ownership of SISU.
Just shows they can continually make the wrong choice
Well I am not.Well I am trying to distance myself from my neo anarchist past

Sorry dongonzalos but your posts are becoming longer and more deranged by the day. Earlier you said I was "taken in" by the liquidation talks. Actually I am not but you are mentioning this all the time.
So now they are building lots of hotels. Well no the council will always hold a golden share and this will never happen. Sisu will also I doubt buy the half share off Higgs trust but will get a much better deal on the rent. They should as this is overblown and needs coming down. Also wake up old chum theres no other game in town. It's far from ideal but it is what it is.
Here is a good one..
Well I am not.
I am proud of the things I have done.
To be honest I would be gutted if I was on the other side
Shut up you twat Im trying to get some likes ffs
Oh forget it:blue:
Feel much better now

He meant wet dreamYeah, it’s a dangerous place. Any poorly-considered remark can be retrieved by some terrifying process years later and thrown back in your face.
And there are teams of people who see it as their spare-time duty to keep a count of which threads you read. The exact assessment criteria haven’t been published, but to prove you like football it’s important to log in on a Saturday to chuck a quick “Yessssss” onto the site when we score. “Get in” is even better if you can overcome your inhibitions.
Don’t waste chances by looking at a thread as a guest, and being a “hypocrite” is a definite own goal.
I’m pretty sure that in about 2012 Torch described Ann Lucas as “every man’s dream”. I’ll find that quote if it kills me …
