But we were discussing Richardson. If you want to talk about SISU, let's go!

Solidarity brother.
I'm not interested in historical mistakes, I'm interested in current solutions and quite frankly a debate on Richardson is a side show ML would be proud of creating to deflect criticism of what's happening now.

Are you being sarcastic?

And as usual you just take the piss to try and make a point. Well done.
So you were one of those complaining about the players we were signing that WERE good players and not the shite we get these days?
City were always in debt. I can remember them having to sell Willi Carr having got into a mess buying Larry Lloyd. The point being no-one (fans) really cared as we were first division/ Premier League. We were still a valuable asset and could be sold in an emergency to pay off a large part of the debt. Now we own the GS and a few League 1 players registrations. SISU Arvo cannot get their money back as it stands. We don't even own a leasehold stadium or F&B rights. We're fucked. SISU have had 7 years to do something about it. They realised the predicament about 2 years ago and are now trying to do something - far too late and having made matters far worse than anyone could have imagined.

What exactly is confusing you here? kingofkings made a remark about the £60m of debt being of no consequence, Torch made a sarcastic reference to that comment but without quotes. Astute took it at face value because he hadn't read the original comment. Clear?

Oooh don't mention the past on here, it means you love SISU apparently.

I understand where you're coming from on Richardson. Next time someone post something like that try doing some breathing exercises and put it to the back of your mind ;-)

Richardson has gone, Hitlers gone and Thatchers gone. It's history.
Can we change things by discussing their actions.
SISU have taken us to new depths and we are not yet at the bottom.
Richardson tried to make us a big premiership team and messed up.
Ps nothing wrong with Thatcher.

Perhaps not but they can take responsibility for them and put them right.

That's great, when are they starting?
Difference being that I put it in perspective. I am still more concerned about the present and the future.
SISU are in charge. They have had 7 years to do something. They realised the predicament about 2 years ago and are trying to do something about it - far too late and having made matters far worse than anyone could have imagined. Worse too, in that it seems Joy has made it personal - not business. In reality if you own a club with Coventry in the name, then you have to deal with City fans ( now started in small groups ) and with CCC ( Joy will have to Talk to them at some time - like it or not ).

Did quite well to get to post number 118 before Goodwins Law kicked in...
You should tell that to Gove, perhaps he will see your point and drop History from the National Curriculum...

But her good work lives on.
The only thing we know is that SISU actions are making matters worse and they appear to have different goals to Coventry City fans.

Yes she created the wonderful 'every man for himself, fuck over your own granny' society we have today. She'd have loved SISU and hedge funds in general. Do you think she'd have cared about the goals of Coventry City fans?

Torch, I was most certainly not defending Richardson do I'm sorry you think that. I was merely trying to make a point that my opinion is that little to do with how we were run is an affect now.
Yes Richardson screwed us sure I agree for the 3rd time but new owners had to come in and do things the right way and that definitely hasn't happened.
35 miles away and a club more known for it's court cases than football makes me angry dad sad and all of the above. Sisu had 7 years to change what was wrong with the club and they haven't and not only have they haven't but also taken it much further down than I thought possible.
I am in anger at sisu not Richardson. If he was that bad etc then we have had 15 years to rectify it not 15 years later use it as an excuse to blame when things have severely fucked up. The time is not and change can only happen now and the future not 15 years ago. I find talking about 15 years ago and blaming it not appropriate and it's not relevant as this is 2014 not 2000.
Piss easy division and let's get Cov to Ricoh and some good players with momentum and no points deduction we can rise again.

You disagree? She would not have been a fan of hedge funds? She would have cared about the fans?

No politician is bothered about our situation or SISU actions.

Seppella treatment of the club is a typical example of Thatcherism in action.

These days we have League One players because we are in League One. In Richardson's time we were in the Premiership. And yes, I moaned about all the Hondurans and spending £20K a week on one player.
We are in League One because of SISU. But we were homeless, had to move to an expensive stadium and in the Championship because of Richardson.

Ha! Priceless. Thatcher was the mother of "every man for himself" and the money, money, money culture we live in today. She would have loved Joy and her Hedge Funds.

It is a culture that is strongest in the South East and diminishes the further you get away from it.

Granted. There's no no doubt who encouraged and nurtured it though. Thatcher and her cronies.
