You are SISU what would you do? (1 Viewer)

I think you have to separate what CCFC might do from what SISU might do. The two do not have the same aims and objectives. Just my opinion but CCFC is a tool to be used for the SISU objectives. Keep in mind that SISU's (Seppala's) objective is a return for the investors, that doesn't mean a couple hundred thousand pa for the next 20 years by the way. They have adopted a high risk plan and that demands large returns. No where is there a mention of a "return" in any real tangible sense for the fans

You can not look at it from a football club perspective to answer the question. They really are not interested in the PR being positive or interested in the fans I feel. Only thing they perhaps rely on from a fans perspective is that they will never lose all the fans. Of course they would like the PR and fans to be on side with them but it is not a problem to their objectives if they are not. Every time the PR goes against they go quiet for a week or so, let it die down and try to release some positive news, then move on...... (partly sheltered by the team doing so well...... so bad PR they let the team do the talking for a while and have been lucky with that this season)

So having got to the place SISU are, spent all that money and effort, what would I do? Exactly what they are doing, play real hard ball, give no ground in terms of position, press on with trying to maximise investors returns, keep battering away at the legal cases where ever a "threat" might appear or to simply drain funds of opponents, sit tight and try force a settlement on SISU terms, wear down the oppositions ability and desire to fight on. Has nothing to do with football to be honest. It is going to be about the JR and the legal cases that follow it so why change direction now?

The march did not change anything. The Arsenal protest as good as it was (and it was good from the fans point of view) will not have changed anything for SISU (indeed they could spin it as a reason why the Council should give in and sell). Neither actually changed the SISU objectives or the means by which they plan to achieve those objectives

Just my opinion............. the reality could of course be different............ I just do not think it is

If I was Sisu, meaning what do I want Sisu to do, I would either FUCK OFF or SORT IT OUT.

If I was Sisu, meaning what do I think Sisu will do, I would get as much money for my investors by any means possible.

I think that is a great summation by OSB and one that I fully agree with.

We tend to see the issue through sky blue glasses, SISU do not, they are using the club as a means to gain significant ROI. The Football League should have stood firm and helped the fans by opposing the SISU plans but they are ineffective.

I did propose on another thread what I thought was there strategy and Jack Griffin has suggested a very viable piece of land which fits with SISU aspirations.

If I were SISU, nothing has changed and keep on course with the current strategy.

In order I would:

- Sack Tim Fisher and Labovitich, bring in a local, knowledgable, passionate man/woman of the City of Coventry who understands the Club needs.
- Re-open negotaions with the Higgs Trust regarding a sale of their 50% share of the Ricoh.

Oldskyblue sums it up perfectly for me.
But I feel the fans have to build on the Arsenal protest. It may not change things with SISU, but it brings a much needed feel good factor and feeling of unity. It also keeps the true spirit of the club alive, something SISU seem tent on destroying.

Stick together, sing loud, KCIC.
