Could happen! Scary prospect for both clubs.

Not gonna happen, just more scaremongering.

After , arguably the best performance of the seaso. we're subjected to the Irambling of a mentally unstable super fan that can see the future

Wish you could have posted something when sisu tool over , or when the old guard sold out to acl , perhaps we would have been better prepared

Although I said earlier never discount anything I'd lay pretty short odds on the 'not'

We won't have to sell players to satisfy FPP rules - dumb thread.

Hmmm! I'm neither mentally unstable or a super fan for that matter. I was merely painting a doomsday scenario.

Nether you or me can predict the way this is going to end.

Dumb reader, it's FFP not FPP (ie Financial Fail Play)

Yeah but how does this get Joy her £60 million back?

Still even dumber to think we'd have to sell our best players.

I'd like to see our wage bill. I'd be VERY surprised if a bunch of kids + Murphy, Clarke, Baker, Webster are costing us that much. Maybe Joe Murphy and Clarke would have to go for wages, but I can't see any of the others making much of a dent.

I also doubt that FFP applies to us while we're in Northampton like it does to other clubs, but that's just a hunch.

You will probably be hit by a bus before then do need not worry. Do people sit inside making things up in their head that might possibly on the off chance happen? I am just polishing my boots for when Hodgson sees me having a kickabout and calls me up for the World Cup.

I don't know about you, but at 32, overweight, asthmatic and not having played the game for 10 years, I still harbour hopes of playing for Cov

It only takes being in the right place at the right time for a tap in

Just going out to feed my unicorn!

Yes they certainly do, just like the 'Cov Back to Ricoh' campaign, I can see it now,

Council worker - "oh look Anne, there's 30 people outside shouting - sell the Ricoh to SISU".

Anne - "ring ring....Hi Joy, the Ricoh's yours for a packet of crisps and a black jack"

It is just the same as people outside sisus office. I think scmeees post about finding out what we actually want rather than don't want should be posted on a lot before protesting.

It is all well and good saying get sisu out or give them the ricoh for free but we need to know what's happening afterwards.

Mayfair London, Summer 2013

"Oh look Joy, there are six blokes outside with a banner with muppets on it shouting 'Not one penny more. Keep Cov in Cov"
Joy: "Don't worry, they'll be in the pub in a minute. Do me a favour go and get me a cup of coffee from Starbucks. Don't forget to run..."

HEADLINE: We see a woman running from SISUs office. Who else could it be?

Exactly, neither will achieve anything I don't think as the action isn't right.

Who knows about even the short term future never mind the long term?

Certainly not me (and judging from what I read, very few on here!), all I'm interested in is the NOW!

I'm enjoying watching the Sky Blues more than at anytime in the last 15 or 20 years, if you choose not to support the team then it's you that's missing out IMHO!

Haven't missed a game so far at Sixfields (no doubt I'll have to at some stage) and been incredibly lucky enough to travel to both Port Vale & Wolves.

Snubbing the Sky Blues is a pointless exercize, I'm sick to death with all the 'political' off field stuff and just want talk and enjoy my football PUSB!

I assume you mean not supporting the team by actually going into Sixfields? Lots of fans are still supporting the team but don't approve of the move to Northampton, so aren't going to home games but are travelling to the away matches.
