The Keys interview is great PR for SOC and those who want SISU out but that is all.
There's a veiled threat (to the Council) that they'll leave the RICOH......but seeing as the GH Consortium do not even own the club - that's absurd.

I saw no threat. He was quite clear he was speaking his personal opinions on what he would do if he owned the club. Just like we do every day.

Was an interesting interview. Seems KD was the major stumbling block before. I just want to go to sleep and wake up in May with us relegated and hopefully new owners. It's the waiting that kills you.

When "DELUDED" was moved on I was really hopeful that that was the sign that Sisu were prepared to do a deal.
Clearly, however, there is another stumbling block. Suspect it is the amount of compo Sisu are demanding.....?
Eventually, starved of anymore assets to sell, they have to walk away, surely?

The Telegraph understands the Sky Blues have effectively mortgaged next year’s season tickets and taken out a loan for £1million, secured against annual payments from the League, to enable them to pay the wage bill in June and see them through the next couple of months.


Its next seasons ticket sales plus a mil

Keys - 'Coventry City are a laughing stock'

Great message from Keys. Love it when he says Ken Deluded. :D

Did coleman promise the owners boring football and a bottom of the table finish.

In 2008/9 he had dann, fox, westwood, ward, tabb, gunnarsson, eastwood, turner, best.
Yet we finished 17th.

And Ward, Gunnarsson, Eastwood, Turner (at that time) and Best all picked on by the fabulous fickle fans of CCFC! Or at least sections of it. Didn't realise what we had did you!

I still have doubts that SISU are the stumbling block, if SISU do want out, then their position is weakening by the day. Though Godiva and OSB seem to think that we'll be a viable company and SISU have the right business plan, but I just don't see the figures adding up.

Any deal will take months to complete anyway, so even if KD leaving was the beginning of the end, so to speak, he's only been gone a couple of months. All the rumours point to talks being ongoing. If Hoffman is trying to co-ordinate SISU, his investors, the council and the changing state of the club, they will be quite the complex talks.

The reality is that it wasn't a brilliant team then. For many reasons. But we are gutted now as what we have now is even worse! Ward was useless for a long time for us. Eastwood never did it. Turner was hopeless playing alongside De Zeeuw and Stephen Wright but who wouldn't, Best was crap until he started wearing the zorro mask. It wasn't being fickle, we finished 17th. How good could we have been. Tabb had some quality, as did Gunnarsson in his first season, second season was shocking. No interest. We also had quality like McIndoe, Stephen Hughes and Doyle in the middle. Horrendous midfield one week, glimmer of hope the next. Not to mention Julian Gray and Davis... Jeez we have been starved of a good left sided player for years!

We want sisu out chants...

now fans views

coleman speaks - there was a lot hope when they got me in... sold all the best players... never reinvested... they said we can spend £2.5m every transfer window... never happened.

Fans want Iggy's head... we can't get in contact

BBC - went to HQ in london and SISU didn't want to speak to us.

Hoffman bid could happen

Keys - Debts are crazy... i don't know why sisu want to continue... i don't know why SISU don't want to sell. Club on lifesupport machine for 15 years... never been as bad as now.

Marcus Hall - this is just desperate. We sell our best players. Fans are frustrated. SISU isn't working and we need answers as fans. The board don't speak or give answers. Selling Juke was silly... crazy move. We let him go to boro on Sat and we can't play our loan player from Man City. Fans deserve much better than this.

Darren Moore - the club is spiraling out of control

Summed up very well, if I must say so myself :)

The woman who put together the excellent feature referred to us as a 'sleeping giant'. Which is perhaps stretching reality a touch. Beyond that, SISU were simply highlighted as the shadowy, inept chancers they are

Very in depth, fair play to the beeb by trying to get answers, but it just shows what mugs they are not even coming out to speak.
Marcus was spot on about the young players getting demoralised by losing week in week out.
Good scenes of protests.

They also mentioned, that late kick off understands there is a big bid from hoff.

Says it all that the Beeb went all the way down to London to SISU HQ, but SISU couldn't even print out a statement for them, let alone talk to them.

Good ole Marcus! - said earlier that ex - players should get involved.
Makes Sillett look very isolated and out of touch.
SHAME.

Well Done BBC, for once, they got it spot on. My mum who hates football watched it with me and dad and now has an overview why we're so frustrated every saturday evening!

The women did well and speaking to Chris Coleman showed how frustrated the past managers have been!

God i hope SISU get out!!

Save Our City could do worse than reach out to some former players. Froggy and Hucks have both spoken out on twitter so they may put their names to it. Now the campaign has been shown to be peaceful and well managed it can't hurt to have a few 'names' on board.

Can't wait to 'iPlayer' it later, sounds like the beeb really did a good job; and again, kudos to Save Our City and all the protesters -- the BBC wouldn't be looking into SISU if it wasn't for the fans kicking up a stink!
