You need to get a grip sweetheart - and some balls.
It might be in your nature to bend over and take it from faceless men in suits - but it isn't in mine.
He remarked, whilst lacking the 'balls' to stick with a team and being seduced by the suits behind a new one.
Oh I ssseeee. So in your eyes the ones with the most balls are probably the ones with Sixfields season tickets - sticking by the team no matter what (whilst lining SISU's pockets and funding the Northampton nightmare).
Wonderful.

Not for me.
A proper pheonix side incorporating as much of CCFCs heritage as possible (club colours, badge, songs) - absolutely.
A team playing in red called United - I couldn't be less interested.
Don't you think they missed a bit of a trick here perhaps. Had they formed the club with the intent that City may not return for many years and they were there to be the alternative and played in City colours and had a name much more in alignment with the common City man's thinking and wishes, they'd be maybe getting a fair bit more support form Sky Blue fans right now.
Coventry United will always be no go for so many people on a number of levels.
Nope.
Italways smacks on trying to piggy back on others' misery, and that ain't for me.
Not for everyone NW and probably not for me, but I don't really get their point. Not sure exactlhy what they are trying to be. It's like they are set up as the alternative but then at the same time they're not.
Personally happy to give them support....as I support every club representing my city....
It's kind of baffling how it almost seems like a minority of posters are willing the club to die in order to support a new Phoenix club.
I find it very odd and unsettling.
I hate the "smooshiness" of what I'm about to say but you support your club through thick and thin and don't jump ship at the first sign of a better offer.
Owners, managers, players, kits, tea ladies etc, they all come and go but fans stay throughout their entire lifetime.
If Coventry City (and it won't happen, those who think otherwise love the drama and the division it creates on here) did cease to exist, then that's football support done for me, I'd merely take a passing interest as a football enthusiast.
They play in Red.
I will shoot my testicles off before I am supporting someone in Red.
If I were to support a team based in Coventry it would be sphinx. Or an AFC Coventry. (IF CCFC ceased to exist or moved permanently)
I don't think they're willing the club to die. It's more like they believe it's already as good as dead.
I'll support ccfc till the end. What I do when/if it does die? I won't know for sure until this happens.
Oi! - I have nothing to do with Coventry United. Everyone knows I've been posting here for years.
I'm heavily anti SISU - and yes, I would like nothing more than to kick them in the nuts and see reforming a supporter owned CCFC where nobody can do this to us again as a solution.
The best way would be for SISU to piss off and the supporters to acquire a share of the club thereafter.
One thing is obvious - without supporters SISU have no leverage. Especially if we'd moved on.

Hard to take from one if the biggest Sisu supporters before his reinvention.
Can we not do this? It's silly in politics and it's even sillier here. We want people to change their mind upon receiving new information. That's a good thing, not a stick to beat people with.
The thing is, he's one of those, and there were quite a few of them, who were so evangelical about Sisu that if you didn't support SISU you must be a Leicester fan, now it's if you support the club you must support Sisu, so always pimping going to support somebody else.
Everything being 100% good one minute, then 100% bad for Sisu the next isn't "changing their mind upon receiving new information".
It's still being closed to receiving any information, or even considering it if it opposes the view they now hold.
It's the mentality of the evangelical ex-smoker.
Changing your mind or having near enough any view is fine, it's the whole 'if you don't agree with me you're the problem and it's your fault' kind of thing infesting this place that drags it down.

On topic: I'll chip in as I guess I'm one of those who people think want to see the club "die".
If you mean the liquidation of the company holding the GS, then that happened last summer. The "club" is not a legal construct, it's a collection of people with a shared interest. Personally I want a club around for a long time, I want to be taking my grandkids to see the team I grew up with. Sisu selling up and leaving the ridiculous debt intact will only stave off the "death" of the legal construct for a few years. Maybe we'll get promoted, but with the debt to service we'll never be competitive and eventually will die a slow death as we drop down the leagues.
I'd much rather the club is liquidated, we make the case to the FA/FL that it's their poor management of the situation that lead to it's demise by allowing the GS transfer, take a fairly large hit (say a relegation and -20 points) and move on as a fan owned club (ideally) or with new owners starting from scratch (more likely).
To be clear, I don't support AFC/Sphinx/United or any phoenix club while the move is still temporary and I hold out hope that we will return to Cov. But at some point, if we're not back in Coventry then they club has indeed "died" and to be honest I'd probably just give up football altogether.

That's utter bullshit - back it up with quotes.
As the vast majority did, I welcomed being rescued when half an hour from liquidation - and was willing to give SISU my support as our new owners (of whom we knew nothing about).
That's normal. What you did (and do with absolutely everything) is to give nobody your support for fear of one day being wrong.
There is no shame in changing opinion as new information becomes available.
