I've gone for admin. Only because if SISU continue to cause these off field problems, irrespective of what division we're in, we're always gonna be looking at uncertainty around the club!

Players are staying as focused as possible, but surely even their patience will wear thin soon!

That said. Would be a shame to see some of their fighting spirit we've seen this season come to nothing....

Because admin guarantees a new owner, right? :-(

If it was that simple I would vote for admin. Unfortunately admin could be the first nail in the coffin to liquidation, but it will keep the hysterical masses on here at bay as they gloat in our 10 point deduction and await bill gates to purchase.

Precisely. Will we have an owner, will we have a ground we can afford to play in? Will we still have no ground ownership and will we actually be on minus 15 points and in a relegation battle?

<br />I went for play offs. Because admin still won't fix the problem of ground rent. If there was defo a serious take over bid on the table I may have gone the other way.

Can't disagree with any of this which is why I voted playoffs

I believe if we have new owners we have better chance of promotion & staying up.
Would love to see us in play-off's or automatic promotion place, but feel with sisu we will have no funding for next year & almost certainly be relegated,
So new owners for me & then fund for promotion & staying up from there

Way too ambiguous! Try doing one with cold hard facts...too much personal sentiment clouding the reality of choice there.

Bit like a referendum on Europe....what's the betting we never get a simple in or out choice? (if we ever get one)

Yes, the sentiment is there and it is ambiguous. If we had done this yesterday morning we would have saved ourselves 500 posts.

I chose chance at promotion this season as an admin could likely wipe out any hopes of a promotion next season also

I voted for admin but only under the pretence that new owners come in. Otherwise I'd rather stick with SISU as they are certainly better than nothing and what would follow.

Let me get this right... You didn't vote for admin because there's no guarantee of a new owner, yet you voted for play-offs this season?

Can we have the same poll next Sunday? Promotion could be a real possibility.

I chose admin. No prizes there. It is on the basis that SISU have had their day. The sooner we get someone else in the better.

Got be be admin at all cost. A promotion push under sisu will cost nothing this time round but if we fail then we have just prolonged the agony. I am optimistic there is a purchaser out ther and that they want to work with ACL and Higgs to bring the two businesses together. I also think that any new club will have fans as shareholders.

So you think sisu will agree to a voluntary CVA? Check other clubs who have had this kind of issue and come back to me.

Seems 50% of fans take things a bit more seriously fortunately.

This is a little like the debate in 2001 as to whether or not we should drop out the premiership, spend a year thrashing everyone and come back stronger.

That worked out well....

For me it would have to be promotion - we may never get another chance.

Never said that....It's clear that people share your view. I just dont agree with it. I think city fans will come together at some point and we will be stronger despite the current adversity. I'm done with the opposing viewpoints. It is a waste of time.

The -15 point deduction as only happened to Leeds...... I think the words could and maybe have been used and blown into a full story when as you have said, we not no what would happen if we went into admin!!!

I have not voted but here are my thoughts.
I have said time and time again the only way ccfc has a future is to be united with the stadium.
With Sisu at the helm this will never happen and happy to claim this as fact !!!!
Jan has stated that there are interested parties which i am not surprised.

Read the post above my original. Play offs at all costs? I actually think extremes in anything are not acceptable. Liquidation not for me. Hence choosing admin. SISU talk liquidation don't they.

Very very difficult decision.

I considered what would happen with us in the championship next season with SISU at the helm.

I fear relegation in record time.

New owners with a sensible financial deal in place.

A drive for promotion. Then if we get it a realistic chance of staying up.

Also the chance if united fans and hopefully owners you trust.

How many cov fans is that in total and what percentage does that relate to in season ticket holders before you start claiming 50% of fans agree with you ?

We sacked our manager after three games and lost 5 on the trot.
We started this season with the ten point deduction in my opinion

I understand them for thinking the worst if we go in to admin. It is a major step to take the club to this point. The alternative doesn't bear thinking about.
Oblivion/liquidation whatever.
