Fans are slowly winning.. (22 Viewers)

SISU do not have an endless supply of money. They are just stubborn.

If they aren't back before Feb / March we should form a Phoenix club and take control back.

SISU have been extremely lucky that this team is performing like they are - it has kept people from being even angrier.

Another silly comment, SISU have been 'lucky' that the team is playing well - how the hell is that? They appointed another good, young manager who has brought a real good work ethic into the team. This is not luck this was well calculated.

Of course they would like more fans to attend but lets face it they don't give a shit about the 50 or so people on the hill that is not going to make much of a difference to the bottom line.

What would be the difference is the fans were 'angrier'??

If we do move back to the Ricoh is it going to be because of the people on the hill? I hope we do move back

Well its not going to be because of the fans who go to Sixfields, they're making it more difficult to shake of SISU.

I thought admin.would shake sisu? That was the last thing people said would make them go...

We have a team of kids and no depth - just like we did when we got relegated from the Championship.

"Of course they would like more fans to attend"

What a massive understatement. Some of you seem confused about SISU's finances. Their investors will be furious. This isn't Joy Sepalla's money to do with as she pleases. This belongs to investors.

And the 'angrier' comment; well look at what fans of other clubs do when things go wrong. Some terrible things happen. I'm not advocating such behaviour, just saying that they are fortunate that City fans are so apathetic.

I hoped for that, but never really believed it.

SISU have engineered a situation to try & acquire assets they never paid for, but I'm afraid there will be 3 to 5 more years of this shit to put up with before the FL calls their bluff.

My resolve is as firm as ever, I'm very patient. I'm not sure about the politicians on the council though.

Anyway I'm off to Nuneaton now, that's my solution in the interim.

What on earth? What other fans? Why are we apathetic? What are you even on about?

 

[Deleted member 5849]

Traitors is what I'd call the Sixfields few.

It's attitudes like this that make me question whether I really want to be involved in any protests after all.

Is your knowledge of football really that poor?

I'm not going to spell it out for you as I don't want to give any crazy people any ideas, but look at Anders Frisk, Neil Lennon etc. Football fans can get very nasty, and for a lot less than what has happened to City.

Now, to reiterate, I'm glad City fans are above that - I just think SISU have picked the perfect club to pick on.

I tend to disagree. They've picked the wrong club. Riots do nothing but bring negativity. I am truly shocked at the in fighting, but the fact is, City fans are approaching things in at least a practical manner. At the end of the day, though, we have little power.

To call City fans apathetic for not kicking off is just wrong.

 

[SIR ERNIE]

I feel it is now more important than ever that the boycott of Sixfields is stepped up...plus nearly 3 times as many going to Port Vale than those going to Sixfields shows SISU the support is there... Support NOPM and KCIC now more than ever !

Couldn't agree more VOR.

Starving any business of income is a potent weapon.

Of course its hurting SISU.

They're all about income. They're no wealthy benefactor, they don't have vast financial resources.

I read their silence on this as a scream of pain.

There are many on here with a laissez-faire attitude, that say we shouldn't even stand on the hill, so that's why I think we're apathetic.

Sometimes if asking nicely isn't working then more needs to be done. The big protest on the hill v Sheff Utd is a great idea and I applaud it. Imagine if there were 10,000 on that hill - but there won't be because many would rather do nothing (which is the definition of apathetic).

If we all want City back then we all stick together and get on that hill, drowning out the Sky commentators with drums, horns and singing. Maximum exposure.

'Do nothing' is not a strategy.

The standard of league one is much lower than the championship and our kids are more than good enough for this league.

Thankfully that seems to be true.

None of us were predicting that to be the case over the summer though were we? Many feared relegation. We have Jordan Clarke (who was told to find another club) playing at centre half for God sake.

As I said, SISU are lucky that Pressley is working wonders.

Pressley put Clarke in the bomb squad because of poor attitude not poor ability. There's not that much inexperience in the side. Murphy, Webster, baker and L Clarke are all seasoned professionals, Thomas, Christie, Clarke have all been around the first teams for 3 seasons, including championship experience, fleck has played in the champions league, moussa's got a lot of experience, Adams proved his worth last season, so really it's only wilson who's the inexperienced one in the starting line up.

but we are playing well and winning, so doesn't this qualify because we have a team of kids??

Most fans and the press were predicting relegation. Let's not pretend that anyone saw this form coming.

We are SISU owned so all of that doesn't qualify with some people don't forget!

I'm saying that SISU are lucky it's panning out like this.

Where have I said it doesn't count?

I'm saying that it's lucky for SISU that Pressley has formed such a good team out of the low earners left after the bomb squad.

 

[stupot07]

And last season most fans and the press were predicting promotion, which even without the 10 deduction a top 6 finish was unlikely.

The press and bookies had Bristol city and Sheffield united as 2 of the top 4 favourites for promotion favourites.

So if promotion was unlikely last season as you say, then our mid-table finish was about right. Then it follows that after losing most of the squad, leaving us with the cheaper players that everyone expected us to struggle. That's not even mentioning the 10 point deduction.

You're making my argument for me.

Pressley gelling such a young cheap side like this is fantastic. Lucky for SISU as usually such cost cutting ends in failure.

You don't have to spend much in this league, even in its current state I imagine our wage bill is more than double Yeovils promotion winning wage bill of £700k.

Perhaps we should have kept the likes of bell and sheff just to bump up our wage bill to make you feel better.

I very much doubt our wage bill is anywhere near what you believe it to be. I'm not sure what your point is. I'm delighted that we're doing so well with this threadbare squad, and hope it continues when the pitches deteriorate over Xmas, and injuries kick in.

My point was that this form is keeping fans from being even more angry with SISU. That's all.

Sounds like your blind hatred for SISU is doing this job already??

Of course I hate SISU, don't you?

I've got no time for anyone who doesn't. They've removed our football club from the City it represents after nearly 130 years of being in Coventry.

If you want to stick up for them and play the problems down then I've for no time for your opinions.

I dislike them but I try not to go over the top like some...

Oh dear.

Supporting Andy Thorn is very different to supporting SISU.

 

[Grendel]

Oh dear.

Oh and editing hardly is helping you.

Just one little thing I would like to pick up on about the numerous pieces of drivel you have written today and this is regarding the SISU investors. When you say they will not be happy you are aware what portfolio investment is surely?

Extremely aware. Do you think it means that losses on one portion of their portfolio are irrelevant?
