There should only be 2 priorities: the team and the fans. acl-sisu pr machines have the dispute into being pro/anti acl/sisu and look where that has got us - administration, 10 points deduction, and if figures on here are correct just 7.5k city supporters at yesterday's game (in which I thought we were excellent and for 90 mins it was a reminder of what being a City fan is really about).
I always agree with people who say let's just get behind the team but for football fans in the modern era we can't ignore off the field events - we can't just pretend we haven't been docked 10 points.
What we need to do is have confidence in ourselves as fans and start saying its time to put the team and supporters first, rather than arguing about whether acl/sisu or anyone else is right or wrong. Fans need to stand together and, as has happened at other clubs in the same position as we're now in, that means joining the local supporters Trust - in our case that's the Sky Blue Trust. Membership has doubled in barely a week and the Administartor has agreed to meet Trust reps - a sign that there are now enough members that the Trust's credibility has been achieved. The Sky Blue Trust's message is developing quickly into saying:
So, put the team and fans first - like hundreds more supporters did yesterday join the Trust for just a quid at www.skybluetrust.co.uk

The Sky Blue Trust's message is developing quickly into saying:
- Fans can make a difference (look at Swansea and Pompey)
- Fan-led ownership works and we need to adopt and adapt an approach to fit the circumstances of ccfc
- We need co-investors (not billionaires, but fans who could put in six figure sums - at Pompey, fans have bought individual shares prices at £1k and raised £2-3m*, 6/8 co investors have put in slightly less, and a land deal with a developer will raise several million for the club while also giving the developed a big profit)
- Every new member of the Trust makes fans' voice louder
- Why does anyone think a new millionaire owner will be different to the various wealthy individuals who have been our owners over the last 15+ years and have led us not to success but to being in a right mess?
