Like the rest of us, if you watch a team for long enough you get the bug and you can't shake it. As much as I dislike SISU, suspect they are fans
Like the rest of us, if you watch a team for long enough you get the bug and you can't shake it. As much as I dislike SISU, suspect they are fansOk, SISU Joy & Tim no longer have any involvement with Coventry City FCso give me a feasible scenario that would see them watching us at Wembley yesterday.
Terrible decision.he also sacked Sillett and couldn’t be bothered to tell him first
Well if he’s had little input into getting the team to Wembley, I would say that they have had considerably less.King invited them because he has said he has had little input in getting the team to Wembley
Seems fair enough
Yes he did and replaced him with Terry Butcher.he also sacked Sillett and couldn’t be bothered to tell him first

Paid good money for Butcher if I remember right.
Not a great decision that in hindsight.
Still, he has got to be one of the better chairmen we have had surely.
They wouldn’t and they don’tWhy would they support a club where 95% of the fan base consider them more repulsive than dog sh1t that’s turned white?
So who did?Well if he’s had little input into getting the team to Wembley, I would say that they have had considerably less.
Robins takes all the credit for meSo who did?
It’s like an ex turning Upto your wedding. She was part of your life but not anymoreSo who did?
Who approached him and convinced him to come back?Robins takes all the credit for me
Timmy and I mean the run over the last 3-4 monthsWho approached him and convinced him to come back?
They were invited and accepted it - end ofIt’s like an ex turning Upto your wedding. She was part of your life but not anymore

Agree but they weren't sitting with you!doesn’t sit right with me. all about opinions I suppose
Tricky wank to say the least
If they were there, they’re involved 100%.
No other feasible scenario.
He was tall at the supporters forums just before he took us to NorthamptonDread the thought - no they were just walking together to the match and surprised how tall Tim is as never seen him close up
The fact they felt they could walk through hundreds of fans without a care suggests they feel the sameI know i will get a hammering for this but i won't reply so who cares.
Before i start i am NOT saying Joy/SISU were good owners but it could have been worse.
When she moved us to Northampton the rent was 1mill a year for 23 home games, we were allowed in (officialy)
for 2 hours before and after a game with no food and beverage, no car parking etc income... was this sustainable NO, so was she so wrong in doing this?
The second time to Brum, Wasps then took the piss so she would not agree and off we went again, we came back to a much better deal that meant the club could survive long term.
Apart from Hyam (who only had to be sold after she said admitted the SISU Cov fund was broke, to replace grass due to Wasps fooking us over) when was the last time they forced the sale of a player? (they only done that after admitting they were broke, so what choice did they have and soon sold to Doug King).
Yes, they had the choice to buy the arena, they tried to get it on the cheap, tell me who would pay more if they thought they could get something cheaper? (read ahead)
(this was the only MAIN mistake, they should have just paid Higgs and brought it up (did they have the money, probably not. We have since found out they are not as big as they thought they were, ie selling to Doug Kings hedge fund as they are bigger and can just absorb them).
When we were about to go bust where was Doug King then? as much as i don't like SISU we would have gone bust and in to liquidation.
The problem was the council brought in London Wasps and sold it to them and called us the City of Rugy whilst ignoring Coventry Rugby Club) (we now know that it led to them not only going bust but struggling to start next season at the lowest level of Rugby (so buying it done them well and all the suppliers and investors).
SISU fucked it up loads at the start, once Joy realised what was going on she took a more head on role, this is when things started to improve.
Like i said until Hyam, before this date (once she took control), she never sold 1 player under Robins nose. He has thanked her many times and said she did everything she can and was a good owner.
After the 2 Wembley games i do think she fell in love with the club but it was a bit too late and most of the damage was already done.
Could she have done things differently, YES 100% and i (and i bet she) wishes she had.
I just think that once she knew what was going on it was to late, Ray RasoM had wasted all the money, i don't know why he does not get more blame.
Anyway the reason for this post is her getting abused for going to the play-off Final, she/her company has lost millions investing on us (most will say great and she deserves it, that is their opinion, she has now sold up and yet STILL gave £2,000 to the season ticket fund (why would she if she never had a feeling for us)? Yet the new owner puts nothing in and nothing is said, not like he don't know about it, his brother put £100 in.
I caught the interview but not sure exactly what was said.Did anyone else pick up in that pre-Wembley interview with Robins that he had the chance to return a few months before he did in our relegation year? I assumed that JS approached him prior to appointing Slade.
Interesting, but you haven’t mentioned toxic Tim once.I know i will get a hammering for this but i won't reply so who cares.

There is a reason it is not confirmed !There is an unconfirmed rumour that any player sales SISU get a clause as well as any prize money this past season ….
How much more did Frasers finally pay above SISU's offerYes, they had the choice to buy the arena, they tried to get it on the cheap, tell me who would pay more if they thought they could get something cheaper? (read ahead)
