ditto.
Wow. There is nothing as tragic as a man who, despite all the evidence and a sharp pain in his arse, does not realize he has been fucked.
No it wouldn't change your stance that it won't be built?
ditto.
Agree with every word. Am no fan of Coventry Council but the way they have played the hand they have been dealt makes me proud too.
SISU have tried every trick in the book and the council have seen them coming.
The priority is to invest in the team. Without a team that the fans can relate to, without loanees who are just passing through, with no atmosphere or passion then a new stadium is irrelevant.
We need to see a promotion pushing team ( in whatever division, probably League 2 next year) before any talk of new stadium.
I understand that SISU have fucked us all, you don't seem to get that CCC had sloppy seconds.
Can you clarify what investment you'd like to see? Would you like to see the owners invest?
I would like to see the owners state that it is their intention to invest in a team with a view to promotion to the Championship. This will be achieved in two ways. Firstly, keep the home grown players with decent competitive contracts and not cash in at every available opportunity ( Wilson, Christie etc) Secondly, start with a goalkeeper on our books, not a loanee, followed by a young hungry squad on two/ three year contracts that reflect the ambition of promotion.
This policy will be close to self financing due to increased gate revenues and merchandising ( if they get in right)
Sadly, I have my doubts if SP is the correct manager.
The state of the club at the moment is unsustainable. I am a relatively successful guy who has followed CCFC for nearly 50 years home and away For 25 years at Highfield Road and 6 years at the Ricoh I was a season ticket holder as passionate as anybody. If I cannot be bothered to go anymore, things must be bad.

Warning: Have had a few scotches. SISU is completely taking the piss out of this club. They don't empathise in any way with the club, the history or the fans. I work in a similar business, I know that money and profit is everything and the people in this business will say and do anything to get the money. I'm not proud of this but I understand the SISU mentality. I don't believe a single word they say and I hate that they have chosen CCFC to degrade. CCFC is personal for me. CCFC is personal for thousands of people.
So, no, I would not believe any of it. And I am proud of CCC for seeing through the BS and trying their best to make something out of the sow's ear they got.
No, I am not one the posters with duplicate profiles of with a vested interest. But until I have had a few drams I have also moved on. But in my cups, I say fuck off SISU and let us start to rebuild this club with whatever debt and in whichever league you decide to dump us into. And fuck off Lord Haw Haw too. You know who you are.
Wow. There is nothing as tragic as a man who, despite all the evidence and a sharp pain in his arse, does not realize he has been fucked.
I also agree and agree with your words. Yes the council have screwed ccfc as we all know but they had to. It's due to our owners why they had to screw us over as they hate sisu after sisu tried as you say every trick in the book.
Brilliant. I think that could be my favourite EVER post on SBT in seven wonderful years.
Ripe for a Shmmeee "battered wife" analogy.
The council didn't have to screw anyone over.
I undersrtand why they did what they did, but that doesn't make it right or mean that they had to do it.
I do find it very hard to accept the notion that the council are blameless in all this mess.
Providing it's within a reasonable distance from the City centre no difference whatsoever.
Good transport links very important buses, trains & road links vital. Better access than the Ricoh and no egg shaped balls please!
And it was an acceptable location to us everyone on paper, to what degree would that alter your thinking and stance, if any at all?
Just wondering what affect an announcement would make in terms of people's belief.
For me it wouldn't change a thing. Unfortunately I am so filled with disbelief that it will happen, that a location announcement wouldn't have me batting an eyelid and I would still not believe it until the first brick was set in the foundations and even then I still wouldn't hold out that much hope of completion and would have expect a half built abandonment of the project.
I would guess Sisu would be expecting that an announcement will have us City fans all jumping up and down for joy, but I am not so sure. I think a few would buy it, a fair few would greet it with suspicion and the rest of us wouldn't believe a single word of it.
Would it change your view at all? Would you be more believing in the concept? Interested to know.
* By page 5 of course this will have turned into either a ACL/CCC/Sisu argument or a debate on the rights and wrongs of franchising.

Proud of the council? Fucking hell. We have enough problems as it is without these moronic comments.
