If 6 clubs every year 'take a punt' it doesn't mean there are suddenly more promotion places. I think people forget that for every success story about a club taking a chance financially and getting it right, there is often 2 others that do the same, don't quite make it and are financially crippled for years after.

I think that if Sisu had taken a punt last year at Xmas we would have been promoted.
This years punt was a little early

I just picked up this snippet:

The fitness coach, it transpires, had to find a lawnmower and cut the grass after the team arrived for one match at the Ricoh to discover nobody else had bothered.

When was this?

Melodramatic bollocks like this gives the writer zero credibility:

On the other hand, there is a desperate, grieving club where the supporters old enough to remember the crumbling terraces of tatty, homely Highfield Road must pine for more innocent times

This bit is funny as well, considering the council, CT and some supporters' support of Preston Haskell IV a few years ago:

unfortunately for Coventry, they have suffered more than most when it comes to the list of those passing through with big ideas, little expertise and the general sense that they think running a football club must be a doddle.

Sisu are crap - our club is fooked!
It's a short article granted, but I put a lot of time and effort into thorough research.
