Mumford and Daughter · Sep 2, 2011

Do you support or Dispise SISU after the past of couple days actions and statements?

Basically leave support or Dispise below.

DISPISE.

DH - Sky Blue · Sep 2, 2011

I will choose neither, but instead go with

DESPISE

kg82 · Sep 2, 2011

You can't despise a faceless organisation. I don't like what's happened to our club in the last year or so and it's been hard being a Coventry supporter. Our owners have to work even harder to get us back on their side and for that reason I'll go in the middle and say:

Not Support!

Coventry La La La · Sep 2, 2011

I'm with KG on this one

Not support!

Sky Blue Sheepy · Sep 2, 2011

A 3rd option is needed. I don't exactly support them, but I don't see that we'd be better off without them either.

A difficult word to spell for some too.

Otis · Sep 2, 2011

Why is there no middle ground option? I certainly don't despise them.

Am I happy with them? No!

jaws wilson · Sep 2, 2011

I clicked support but I don't trust them. A lot of tv apperances and letter could b due to feared big protest in front of sky cameras. But at present they r our owners and we didn't sell clingan or jukebox

SkyBlueScottie · Sep 2, 2011

Bit of an infantile survey if you ask me, we have no option but to support Sisu / club at the minute. However I certainly think they are reacting to the fans protest at the last home game. they have since responded to those protests so its time to back the team again.

Once they eff up ( if they indeed do) then its time to start protesting again.

Mumford and Daughter · Sep 2, 2011

Baically i regard SISU as two groups.

You either loathe or support them. I personally despise them for the fact we've been given that many broken promises and 4 years on still dont own the ground.

I just dont see how people can support them

Covstu · Sep 2, 2011

yes sadly not as balck and white as this, dont really care who is at the helm as long as they are doing all they can for the club. If its not SISU then someone else please but lets see if they are going to live up to their next promise, of they do then they have my full backing.

skybluesteve76 · Sep 2, 2011

I support sisu because they are keeping my club alive. But would prefer a more transparent and slightly richer owner! But until then, what else have we got?

brinner · Sep 2, 2011

got to despise them!

if they gave a shit we would have signed 2 or 3 players in july and august to help andy and the kids, afterall if you believe what sisu say the money was there to do this......................so why hasnt it been done??

but sisu think everything is rosy as we signed 1 striker, our 1st outfield player for 12 months, on deadline day after selling our best player for a quarter of his value on the same day they also pocketed well over half a million from the scott dann deal, oh and they wrote an open letter to the fans spouting pretty much what they spouted in january.

the sooner they are out of this football club the better.

keeping our club alive by funding it with loans secured on next seasons income? so what happens in may when this money runs out and all the season ticket money is going to the people that loaned us the money this summer??

Trond Egil Soltvedt · Sep 2, 2011

im also among the group who dont eiether support or not support sisu. there should be a middle option to make the poll more accurate.

Spot on Brinner. Its seems SISU ploy of coming public yesterday has done the trick. We have too many fickle supporters. Under SISU we are worse off.

Why is it so black or white?
Another silly post.

How.... explain?

Only the other day 90% of this board wanted SISU out.

Wanted to see if people still despise them or actually support them now?

Trond Egil Soltvedt · Sep 2, 2011

the only way we would be better off without sisu is when someone else comes in and takesover, at the end of the day just get up the Ricoh and support our boys, ive had enough of the sisu out stuff, want to enjoy the football again and hopefully we can start scoring goals and picking up points.

kg82 · Sep 2, 2011

I also have to say, if you don't like the post then why comment on it? The forum's up for these sorts of purposes and a thread like this will instigate a debate which is what people want. So I'd say it's far from silly.

Paxman II · Sep 2, 2011

Now I don't believe 90% wanted SISU out on this board. That's an insult to many who post here.

It can not be so black or white because running a football club like any other business is not so easily defined that way.

I would rather the term 'dislike' be a more reasonable one where SISU are concerned.
Despise is something very different. Semantics maybe but very important.

Support them we must. There is no other alternative at present. If there were and they were credible I would take my support there. On recent developments no one else has shown why they would deserve such support - Hoffman included.

Just so you understand this does not make me a SISU lover. Far from it. For me they have a lot of work to do...

coundonskyblue · Sep 2, 2011

Despise is a strong word. I want them out because I don't think their fit to run our football club. They don't have the cash or the know how to turn us around, basically their in over their heads.

I'm one of the ones on here ready for a gamble with administration, just my opinion as I no not all agree.

valiant15 · Sep 2, 2011

Why should we support them? They don't give two f**ks about the fans. If people start believing the pr shit that's just come out then your mugs. If they take us to league one(which is a very realistic)are you guys still gonna be bleating about giving these parasites another chance? For christs sake,you've got to draw the line somewhere.

I would say that's being picky for pickys sake. You understand what he means and for some people things like this are black and white. Obviously, for you and me they're not, but that's why I put something different and you have (eventually) too!!

Not believing in any 'pr shit' as you say. You obviously think it's likely we will go to league one. OK that's fine - it's your opinion and I respect that. But it's realistic in your eyes not mine.
Parasites that's another word being used out of context - in my opinion.

I just can't help think what you will be saying if we are holding our own in the league?

If you take such a strong stance then you must be prepared to stick to your principals for the duration. You have like many others on here nailed your flag to the mast Valiant15 and left no room for any change in your opinion.

I'm much more on the fence as they say. We don't have the ideal owners as far as I'm concerned but we also should not get so negative about the club and be a little bit more optimistic.

valiant15 · Sep 2, 2011

If they would have brought in two strikers and two midfielders in the summer then yes I probably would have been a bit more optimistic. But not sisu,they let go as many as possible and bring Naff all in. We were on the backfoot from the start. I can't change my opinion of sisu,they've been tight as f**k from the start. The remortgage of ryton and the loan on next seasons season tickets was the last straw for me,not to mention the constant lies etc. I'm. hoping that this new lad will bang a few in fire us up the league,it seems everyone is pinning their hopes on an unproven player in the championship. Sad we've had to sink this low. I'm never going to change my opinion of sisu,I hate them with a passion. Negative again I know but,if we lose the next couple we could already be adrift down the bottom. League one is a real possibility. I hope it doesn't happen.

Covstu · Sep 2, 2011

yes but if they do not have the money then they canot bring in 2 strikers and 2 midfielders!! Believe it or not, like it or not the only consistent thing they have been communicating to us is the fact we are losing money at an alarming rate so where people think this magical money to buy players is going to come from i just dont know!

I dont really like them and yes they may not have the fans best interests at heart but unfortunately we have no option at this stage, hoffman deal never materialised and pulled out for some dubious reason in my opinion and there was no option when we nearly went to admin 4 years ago. No they are not the answer to our prayers but they are keeping the club afloat (just) at this stage. Will we be in league one next year? probably.....

valiant15 · Sep 2, 2011

Blimey,i wasnt expecting wayne rooney! Even some frees would of been better than nothing.What happened to the same budget as last close season? Clouting said himself at the forum that it was there.More LIES!! What happened to the wages they had offered in the deals to westy and king??? Infact wheres all the money gone from the wages theyve saved by getting rid of about eight players??? The probable reason why they didnt sign anyone is cos they wanted to save on wages from the end of the season to the end of the transfer window.Pathtetic.

Is not pretty much the norm for most clubs now ?

skybluelee · Sep 2, 2011

I neither support or despise them. But at the moment they are all we've got.

valiant15 · Sep 2, 2011

Not to that extent.

I don't know the answer to that dude. But hopefully someone might come in and invest. What's the alternative?you seem pretty sure admin would be a good thing. I don't.

georgehudson · Sep 3, 2011

How thick is their skin, how can they deny the level of total distrust from the fans, when will they get the message, sisu you have proved to be incapable of being owners of a football club, albeit painful, just GO !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
