Yes someone who treated the club very badly - nearly losing their league status and having to be bailed by local clubs and you want her to say goodbye … good riddance more like

The fact that she said nothing says quite a lot about Joy. Couldn't care less about anyone but herself. It doesn't take much simply to acknowledge the staff, players and supporters, but clearly it does .

Yes an acknowledgement would have been nice after everything we went through some really dark time to wish us well in the future

Please tell me you are fucking joking.
Fallen in love with the club? What planet are you on and stop taking drugs.

We were nothing but a vehicle to make her money. The prize was the arena. It totally backfired on her and us as we lost the arena.
She was never going to say the truth but wanted us on side as she needed our money. If she had fallen in love with us she wouldn't have taken us to Northampton and Birmingham.
The wicked witch is dead to me.

I bet she hasn't looked back once and to be honest i wouldn't want her to.
As for Fisher, he should never be allowed in any door at the club. He was a toxic man, full of empty words. He really had no respect for fans, club or the city, he would wear that stupid condescending look like a badge of honor. I know he will not be wishing us well and im sure the feeling is reciprocal by many of us.

Personally I’d like to hear her side of the story.
What her initial plans were, where it went wrong, what had Ranson promised, were there other backers that backed out, the legal battles and why, why she appointed Ken, Onye, etc.??? What was the Storey story?
There’s loads of unanswered questions.
I don’t think she was out and out mean and vengeful, just misguided and out of her depth. Totally messed up the stadium opportunity.
There were some awful times but never boring.
I can’t imagine her doing a book though, she’s not the type. It’d be interesting though if anyone could ever get her to do a podcast.
I wonder if Leonard Brody ever got any of his investment back? Anyone know? Silly idea about texting subs but at least he seemed keen for a bit.

I bet she’s relieved it’s over. I think at the outset she thought Ray would be running the show. Legal battles take up huge amounts of time and those on top of running a loss making club would no doubt have taken her away from managing her hedge funds and such.
I wonder if she’ll kick herself if we sneak the Prem (but who knows what the Doug deal is).
I agree with you about Fisher. His fan engagement was woeful. Spivspeak is fine for board rooms but the way he was at fan forums just grated.

Naive if you think Joy hasn't inserted a PL payment for when we get back to the promised land. A start would be knowing what Doug payed for us. Vik, Gus, Cal, Sheaf that's 40m there alone.

You might be right with the PL thing and I’d go along with that but for the way the “final 15%” thing unravelled.
I think a lot of us thought that SISU retaining 15% was a mechanism for PL pay out and it was all very chummy between King & Joy. King saying that it was hard to work without full ownership (or some such) suggests maybe things weren’t all that.
One of Joy’s long term book balancing aims (owning the stadium and revaluing) had just disappeared down a Mike Ashley shaped toilet when King came in.
Was it forced? Had one of Joy’s main creditors insisted that King handled the fund (or whatever) from now on? Was Joy forced out in effect?
These are things the nerdy side of me (and I guess others on here) would love to know.
The silence from Joy and her team almost hints that it wasn’t all roses.
There’s loads of books and podcasts out there about players “I nearly didn’t make it / bad transfer / row with manager / funny stories from dressing room / down and out after giving up football / happy now with supportive missus by my side” (which is all good and that) with a similar theme. The Joy story, £35m row with ex Gov minister, fighting council through courts, ruining a club, relegation, huge debts, Wembley, Storey, Ashley, King, so on so on must be fascinating

Joy was an incompetent who surrounded herself by habitual liars who battered our club and city for over a decade. The darkest days in our history.
And yet a group on here actively and aggressively opposed any fan resistance and were shameful apologists for Sisu actions for years on end. They betrayed the club and city. Shame on them.

There's a strange desire to have our bellies tickled amongst our fanbase.
She was a shit owner, she's gone, good riddance.
The largely enjoyable last 6 or 7 years has been down to Robins and nothing to do with her other than bringing him back.

Agree with first bit.
The reality is it could have been worse: Bury comes to mind, if Joy had have just binned the aim of getting the club back into some kind of order and turned off the tap and ransomed the golden share or whatever.
I don’t think Tim’s idea of a statue is happening anytime soon (not least because Saddlebrains would violate it)

Sbs&l being struck off but clues as to what went with the sale and value can be found in the less than transparent 2022 financials.
Not convinced that sisu don't still have some investment. Does DK own all the shares in covcityco or is it a fund situation like Joy had.
I don't and won't miss her. Didnt she once issue a statement setting out the early years from her point of view and get interviewed on sky ? Everyone else's fault as I seem to remember and took no responsibility for any of it, except a bland statement of made mistakes but not what.
Less she says the better and the sooner we can all look forward not back. Whatever she says isn't going to change any opinions. As for her falling in love with the club..... please!! ... it was a business deal/investment nothing more.
It looks like they got their capital back (the actual cash debt not the constructed paper debt) but not a lot else, and not necessarily in cash. Like I say I do wonder if they are still in the background in some way
Best we move forward and let her become a bad memory
