Why are we talking about how much westwood cost, i remember Grendel said we made a HUGE loss on westwood and quoted a newspaper headline of £750,000(undisclosed fee). Well as city must be loseing at least £120,000 per game at northampton, 6 games = £720,000 min Grendel has said that is a huge loss.
I haven't had much time to post on here lately however this 30 page thread shows little has changed. Your OP isn't far off though, Grendo-we have hindered our own prospects of returning to the dizzy heights of the Championship by landing ourselves with points deductions to drive a council owned business into bankruptcy. The owner has admitted a personal agenda against those at the council and is prepared to incur huge losses to maintain this stance. It leaves us with a manager doing a pretty good (scratch that, excellent) job with a handful of senior players and youth players in front of a man and his dog at a shed in Northampton.
We are fortunate to have a manager with his head screwed on and a half decent academy set-up otherwise Seppalla's hatred of Ann Lucas would have guaranteed much more humiliation than the present state of affairs. She must be telling some whoppers to get investors to participate in it.
Since relegation from the Premiership supporting the club has been fairly miserable. The whole championship experience was dire. Last season, from a home game perspective was dire.
Now, however, we have a real team. The best youth development since Dave Sexton and yet......
People gloat over a poll that for 70% of fans returning to Coventry is not the number one priority.
People declare they want ACL and the council to have a fair deal.
People are not angry ACL and the council are denying the club a play off place. There is almost rejoicing we are 10 points worse off and disappointment we are not relegation fodder.
Surely only one thing matters. Watching what seems a geniunely exciting team playing in Coventry. Whatever people want - wanting the team in Coventry is all that matters - surely.
No one is gloating about this. It's just a sure sign that people realise that SISU just can't be trusted. Giving them the stadium does not guarantee success for the football team, in fact they are so incompetent I could see both they stadium and the team becoming a disaster.
