The impossible sell (1 Viewer)

[Deity]

a number of us are critical of our lack of transfer success in recent windows.

However which Agent, Manager, Parent, Club, or Player looks at Coventry City and thinks "now that's a good club to join"...

Free falling through the leagues, no stadium,supporter unrest, low wages, huge player and manager turnover ....

We end up with what you expect unwanted journey men and young players desperate for a shot at league football before returning to their parent club.

That's all it will be for the next 5+ years. The only way out in my opinion (like it or hate it) is

A) Wasps take us over. - As a business point of view not a bad move for them. Double income, 24/7 income with merchandise, tickets etc. Financial reward in football greater than Rugby for success.
B) A silly businessman comes in and gives SISU what ever they are asking for.

Agreed. In reality there are not many examples of shared Rugby and Football ownership.

it is a well tested model on the continent where football teams have spin off sports eg basketball/ handball etc
