No way will SISU liquidate us - won't happen.
We'll see how this goes down...
Anyway, the owners before SISU bear a very great responsibility for SISU being here. The asset stripping and leaving a club with no assets bar a training ground meant we were vulnerable only to the type of entity that values high risk for high return. With that having failed, and the infrastructure of the club even further depressed, then it's hard to argue that we're any more appealing now.
Also, with no assets we're stuck in a bind of ever decreasing circles. To my mind, oblivion is inevitable... be it next year or after false dawns, after a decade.
Also, the club now is Otium Entertainment Group, trading as Coventry City FC. It is not the Coventry City that existed for many years prior to that, it's a sleight of hand that calls it that.
With that in mind, and if bankruptcy is inevitable... shouldn't we welcome that when it comes, in order to get it over with quicker, and then begin the rebuilding from scratch? This is not to welcome bankruptcy btw, for the over-emotional. It's to accept that this is the path we're heading, and have been inevitably heading since McGinnity and Robinson began to sell off the family silver with no consideration of how to regain it. Chinese water torture, or lethal injection, as it were, are the choices I see. I'd head to Dignitas every time myself.
If there is a way out of bankruptcy, can somebody reassure me we have something more valuable than a league share, that overcomes the structure of the club? To my mind, the league share can be regained in time... although that's not to trivialise it, and not to accept that it might take the decade to regain.
However, better to start the recovery process now, than after more fading into oblivion, and more decline? At least now *some* care?
Or... am I being too negative about the inevitability of oblivion? Tell me why... give me a reason to suggest this can be turned around at some stage.
To be honest, I wouldn't have the patience to start again. I'd be done with it if that happened.
I have a different take on that, it would become an annual promotion party till the club was back in the EFL.To be honest, I wouldn't have the patience to start again. I'd be done with it if that happened.
Do you have the patience now though? No season ticket this year, can't be arsed to go... even the GIFs are going.
Aren't you currently the personification of an inevitable decline, where neither current nor future owners, nor us as fans... are equipped with the tools to reverse it?
it wouldn't 'strictly' be CCFC which I understand is a big no no for many fans.
I understand that too.
Thing is, after admin 'CCFC' was (or is being!) wound up, and we became Otium Entertainment Group. The only difference there is it was prepacked and ready to go, but to my mind us being OEG is no more of a continuation of the past than us becoming, I dunno, Johnny Vegas Man Boobs Ltd, trading as Coventry City FC.
Excellent point. Although even now I'd sneak to a few games if we start winning a few and I'd definitely be back if new owners rolled in. That's still relatively short term thinking.
I 100%, well maybe 99% guarantee I wouldn't be about for a 'maybe scrape our way into the national conference in 13 years' caper.
Yeah, but what about the decline in gifs?
Only need 1 Gif for that.Yeah, but what about the decline in gifs?

It seems that maybe Sisu are on the way out.
I liked the comment Stuart Pearce made on Talksport, "fans are the lifeblood" of the club.. correct, as opposed to that guy Les Reid that says the Academy is the lifeblood, someone missed the point there.
Thing is, even if they were (and I see nothing to suggest they are just atm), then what do we have top make us viable for a new owner?
We might get an initial bounce, a wave of goodwill but... what would a new owner *actually* be buying, to enable them to do their job as custodian of the club to the best of their ability?
Yes, because fans haven't over and over again said the academy is the lifeblood either have they?
If the club starts up as AFC Coventry than I'd be done with football, everybody will be saying "Yeah I will be 100% behind it" until they realise they are playing Chasetown Away on a Tuesday night.
I also don't see the logic in when people are saying they want to kill the club off rather than rot away in leagues 1 or 2 that has been said, the ambition of a new team would be to reach the football league.

That's not my argument.
My argument is death is inevitable, just when it comes is unclear.
Isn't that like saying my dog is 4 and the life span is 7 so I should just take him to the vets to be put down and get a new one though?
Not really.
It's like saying its riddled with cancer, has lost its teeth, soils itself regularly... so I put it down for its own sake, rather than squeeking out a few more months before I have to deal with its loss anyway.
Would save a fortune in vet bills too
Fan ownership is not an option
Such is life.That's not my argument.

With you totally Nick, I'd be finished too.
Bloody Hell!!! Is it coincidence? I say to Nick give RFC a wave from me and Lo and behold, he turns up on here after months of nothing from him.. Hmmmmm!
Not really, because if you look rfc has posted in September and looks to log-in a fair bit.Bloody Hell!!! Is it coincidence? I say to Nick give RFC a wave from me and Lo and behold, he turns up on here after months of nothing from him.. Hmmmmm!

I'd say it's more made up than co incidence, as everything you are basing it on is wrong.
