[Senior Vick from Alicante]

Speaking to Malcolm Boyden on BBC Coventry & Warwickshire, Clarke pleaded with City supporters to keep supporting the team and said: "We've got to get this club on course for break even but most importantly we've got to stay in this division."
He also reiterated that SISU are looking for investment to share the burden rather than selling the club.

This is NOT what we want to here from the local man on the board. If SISU are still looking for investors rather than buyers then we are going to get no where fast. The boycott of the game is even more important now as the only way we will get the parrasites that are killing our club is by starving them of what they crave most, our hard earned cash. If you read any of these posts Mr Hoffman then do not enter into negotiations with these so called business men if they are only after your investors, they have destroyed our club through miss management whilst certain board members have got 6 figure salarys on the back of it. If you can read this post Mr Clarke and you have respect for us fans and the club you so proudly profess to be a life long supporter of, resign now whilst you still have a small amount of decency and do right by us rather than SISU and KD.

I think they have there priorities mixed up. They say they want us to stay in the division most importantly, yet they're putting the finances first by not buying players and letting players go

 

[Otis]

No-one in their right mind will invest with them. Why would anyone invest with them when the council point blankly refuse to offer up even half the stadium to purchase for Sisu?

Takeover or bust. They need to get that into their thick skulls.

Looks like Brinner's Boycott might be touching a few raw nerves in SisuLand.

First we get Tim Fisher in the CT and on CWR, then 'token local businessman' Clarke is wheeled out to spout more drivel.

I'll be cheering on the team during the game, but I'm hoping for a big anti-Sisu protest this Saturday before and after the match, and at half-time too.

Investment - there's that bloomin' word again. So the 'door being open' to the Hoff is basically political gesturing.

John Clarke, was it not revealed that he also had links with Sisu?

"We've got to get this club on course for break even but most importantly we've got to stay in this division."

I am of the opinion that those 2 aims are not mutually exclusive.

They could be, but I am sure we are all convinced that if we sold Juke for 3 million that 2 million wouldn't go to the club with the other 1 million towards 2 or 3 decent players, but that the whole 3 million would be swallowed up.

If we don't strengthen then we will go down.

 

[WillieStanley]

They've just got to do their sums. What would cost more? Strengthening the squad or relegation? My guess is relegation. Whatever happens will cost us a lot of money.

Too late for any of this conjecture .they are finished here with the majority of fans ,however apethetic we may be,its unbridgeable ,why don't they get that ,they're detramentle to this football club.

I think the better interview came from Tim Fisher.

The owners of CCFC should not find it a burden. Obviously SISU do though.

 

[Jack Griffin]

I think the better interview came from Tim Fisher.

Just read the Coventry Telegraph interview with Fisher, he is far better at the PR game than the rest of them.

My prediction that KD was "bad cop & hatchet man" & the new MD will be "good cop & turnaround man" seems more likely than ever to me. (on another recent thread)

Well, whatever we have to wait & see.. I still feel sure we are going down.

 

[CCFC123]

The more I listen to Clarke and SISU the more it becomes clear the fuckin well have lost the plot. Clarke can fuck off when the new investors/board come in next season. He's anothjer one that I'm going to kick up the arse before Sat's game just to jolt his brain into life. He should be ashamed of himself as a Cov kid and he should left with his dignity intact.

Thanks to actions from SISU and Clarke 'supporting' the toads were on the verge of losing everything as a club and were going down...all we have at the moment is a trading name which will possibly go by May. We need to start again and Hoffman is the only hope and SISU wont do the decent thing and fuck off. £30m isn't going to chop there legs off as a business and they should accept it failed and they need to cut there loses. I dont believe anything SISU have said at all and the £500k loss we were told had reduced by half a few months ago so what happened?

I'm ranting now so SISU please fuck OFF as nobody in my family is spending a penny in the club till you go. NOW!

'jc' is merely being used as a puppet, as are the other 2 new boys, 'tf' & 'ml',
we have never had an explanation of 'tf' & 'ml's', previous exploits in the world of football,
i wonder if they surpass the illustrious exploits of 'kd',
and further,
we keep getting fed with this 30m guff, with never having received a detailed breakdown,
and then 'kd' gives the 7-10m 'loss line for this year, when, despite huge cost cutting in players wages,
previous years losses were always given @ 5m p.a.,
and they then ask city fans to pull together for the club,
what a 'piece of work' they really are,

PUSB

& SISU, - TRUTH, HONESTY, & MAGNANIMOUSITY, CAN BE QUITE CATHARTIC

That's because they never did put £30m in to the club. The player sales got them a good % of initial outlay when they arrived. (dann fox etc). They cant even do the sums right when it comes to net loses each month.

FUCK OFF SISU YOU BASTARDS!

Off course it is, the half season tickets have gone on sale. How will they sell any without the usual crap they spout when they are trying to sell something
