If we're talking worsts then false hope, to me, is worse than a slow death.
I'm saying nothing, you just carry on patting yourself on the back and acting like a hero

Like the the majority I did not go.............but I'm sure you think that had no effect
The majority still aren't going.

That is what you asked isn't it?
If only AL hadn't lied, we'd sell out every game. Curse you AL and your cronies, you've killed our club while poor SISU are trying to rebuild it (shakes fist in anger).
You are right about the first bit. Glad you finally admit it.

You seriously believe we'd sell out if AL hadn't lied. You're living in a dream world.

The question 'Can anyone offer even the tiniest sign that things will improve under sisu?' has had 75 replies covering 8 pages with 4.7k views - but not a single post with anything that provides a positive answer. I guess that could be read as an answer in itself..
Ah. So it was a rhetorical question then. Or no, to be more precise, a Socratic one.
How many owners I wonder, do in fact improve the fortunes of the Clubs in their custody? It's an interesting question. I think only the minority deliver improvement to their lot, and in almost every case it comes at a heavy cost. In the case of Sisu, they can always state (and I don't really know why they don't remind us of this more often) that when they took us on we were minutes from being wound up. They've spend a lot of money (foolishly) on maintaining our position for years not that far from where we were when they picked us up. They're not investing much now but hey, neither are the people of Coventry and certainly neither are the Council. Why should they do any more other than minimise their losses? And whether they do or not do we really care any more?

Yes thankyou SISU for saving us from administration, we really dodged a bullet there not to mention a possible 20point deduction because of administration followed by liquidation. Thew, high fives all round
Just to add. I bet Southampton are still kicking themselves that we nicked their knights on white horses. At least we're not in their position the poor b'stards.

Lighten up Michael. Count your blessings you don't have more important things to spend your time worrying about than a game and pastime. Some people endure real suffering with more grace and character than many moaning or perversely feeding their misery by "seeking answers" on here. Hope sometimes has to come from within. Dig deep, and I'm sure you will find some within yourself I'm sure.
Sort of proves the point. They've not improved is but neither have they worsened us all that much, just kept us in some zombified paralysed state of shiteness, with the very rare shining moments inbetween, and those more through fluke.
You, me, all of us. We only have so much energy in life, we have to discern what we should expend it upon. Getting worked up about what shoulda coulda woulda been is a waste. Use the effort to look forward to our new build ground and the adventure of roaring up the Leagues again, friends side by side, in the Coventry/Warwickshire/East Birmingham area cheering on our Sky Blues being led out by our England Captain James Maddison. There. That cheered you up didn't it?
Yeah, glory days in the Championship....booed off at half and full time in virtually every game.

Yes. Much better to be in an empty ground where no one makes a sound. Thankyou again SISU, please don't invest any money in the team to take us out of the heavenly place we are currently in.

Really ?
I went to every game and can't remember that.
Selective thoughts I think?
I can remember every game at HR was quiet and everybody turned up in Reliant 3 wheelers
If it snows tonight you will blame SISU.
You're either a troll, delusional, a SISU apologist or a SISU employee. I can't even imagine the likes of grendull and his minions coming out with crap like that.
No Tony, I'm none of those things. (Mmm... Maybe a little bit delusional perhaps). I might have a wider range of experience that most that enables me to realise that some things need to be evaluated with a greater sense of proportion than many might be able to intellectually manage or afford, but I promise I do try and see all things for what they truly are. I might have sounded flippant in my remarks but that was in part a weak and apparently misfiring attempt at black humour. Within that I do hold onto the belief that being a financially busted Championship Club bobbing around with no credible hope of being able to break into the Premier League isn't that much different to where we are now. The real disparity in English Football is the ticking timebomb of the monstrous financial disparity between Premiership Club revenues and anyone else in any league. I'll grant you that The Property ownership situation at the Ricoh is different now, our chances of becoming owners of the ground have moved from Slim to None. (Unless of course in the long term Wasp's investment becomes an accursed financial millstone that brings them down like all others who have come across it). But, for a while at least, you can still go to games, support the team, face more disappointment than celebration, so pretty much no change there.
I hope that's enough of a reply for you to get a better understanding of my thoughts and opinions. Taking some time to properly understand a little more what people are about is always worthwhile I find, rather than making hasty assumptions and drawing incorrect conclusions.
Yeah, fuck off Tony

You put it better to be fair (mainly because I dozed off during theoldfives ramblings, he started sounding too much like grendull when he started bigging himself up) but his OP is still a crock of shit and I stand by my analysis off it.
