Out of interest, beyond the press statement quoted in the telegraph article, what more do you want them to say?
I'd like them to apologise, profusely.
I'd like to see them make a public gesture of reconciliation (it is Coventry's thing after all). Be it free scarfs all round or accepting a short term rent deal, anything is better than nothing. And it needs to be a gesture to ALL fans, publicly stated and open to everyone.
I'd like to see them offer to release all accounts and details of transfers of assets around CCFC Ltd, simply to show there is nothing to hide and that they are legitimate custodians of our club.
I'd like to know the full details of the new stadium plans, including but not limited to, full site plans, location of sites, financial arrangements, ownership arrangements.
I'd like to know clearly the funding policy for the team. This is a decision the club have made themselves because they judge it to be the best for the club. Prove it. Allay our very real fears about relegation next season. Show us that they, like us, see us as more than a lower L1 team. Don't talk down my club. You don't get to do that.
I'd like to know the plan for paying off the debt of the club and exactly how much we owe and to who.
I'd like to see the club trying innovative ways to reengage the fanbase. I'd like to see them open a supporters club in the City, family fun days, open training sessions, whatever to increase the presense of CCFC in Coventry while this is going on.
But most of all, I'd like all the words and actions to come out of the club to be congruent with my aspirations for a successful, community oriented, financially stable club. Oh, and don't treat the fans like idiots. Between us we have just as much expertise and understanding than anyone at Sisu (see OSB's financial analysis for example) and all we want is what's best for the club. We can understand tough decisions. We can understand bad luck and business decisions.
Stop employing spin doctors? What exactly are weber Shandwick doing for ACL then?

I know this might escape you sometimes, but we don't support ACL FC. The question was what should the club do to regain fan trust. It's comments like that that make people think that some are rabidly pro-Sisu. It's OK to talk about CCFC on a CCFC forum without comparing it to how ACL would've done it.
To clarify: ACL do not have a relationship to manage with us. Our only relationship with them comes through the club. The club DO have a relationship to manage, arguably it's their entire business model is managing their relationship with us. Ergo we have a right to different expectations.
