I think you will find that was ray ranson that the comment was aimed at. He is not a sisu employee. It was to do with a loan arrangement. McCarthy had the last laugh as ranson still signed the useless twat with McCarthy desperate not to let him go on loan first. We wasted at least £4 million on Eastwood - blame ranson.

At least it's a voice with more weight than individuals. I'd like the Trust to be a lot more aggressive towards SISU now, because the club is close to dead to me in its current state.

Pretty damn sure he did not name Ranson. Nice try though.

Aggressive how? Punching and kicking? What will that achieve?

Why would you pretend that's what I meant?

Yes, kicking people is the solution...

I don't understand people who accept this situation.

The thing is, as soon as they are they'll be sent packing. There is nothing they can really do other than try to engage fans, which they are doing.

That's why I keep pushing the breakaway club. It's the only way to be rid of SISU.

There are arguments for and against it - but I'm at a point now where I don't have a club to support really; and want to finally get rid of the people who have put me in that position.

For me, and this is totally my opinion. If a breakaway club is formed and we end up with 2 professional clubs in Coventry, AFC Coventry and their fans will be more of an enemy to me than Leicester, Wolves or Villa. Obviously in a friendly rivalry sort of way and not actual enemies.

How do you know what other people are and are not doing?

Also, what is your brilliant idea for sorting this mess out? That's all it is - an idea to be discussed. Putting forward an idea doesn't really warrant people being complete tools in response now does it?

I imagine your 'brilliant idea' is do nothing and watch the club die.

I can assure you that even after the recent letter it's our intention to continue dialogue with TIm Fisher, Mark Labovitch and with Joy Seppala if we are ever given the opportunity.
Some of us have met with TF and ML as part of the SCG group and I am confident they know our views and principles. At the same time we are also keen to carry on meeting with ACL, CCC and the FL as any sort of open negotiations might help our supporters see an end to our plight.

I totally support NOPM - how does a breakaway club get in it's way? The two ideas complement each other perfectly.

Do you struggle with multi-tasking?

You say that Ron but lets be honest Ranson was the main man who made the decision's and he wasn't an Employee of Sisu, he was given the money to spend (in this case on Eastwood) and it's one of the worst Transfer decisions we have ever made.

At no point did I say I have a brilliant idea. I have not changed my avatar to Che and I am not doing anything about the mess that the club is in as quite frankly the owners of a business can do as they please without the need to consult me.

I am not happy about it but hey, I'm not happy that I'm not a Prince but that's life Bub.

By all means come at me when YOU have achieved something and wave it in my face. I'll be as passive about that as I am the club being taken to northampton.

Your posts are lame Nick. You shoot down anyone who wants to fix this mess - and unbelievably you're trusted to moderate a fans forum.

If you want Nick out you need to do nothing - that's the way forward.

If there's something worth fighting for - don't.

You're correct but thats my point one member of the Scg met her and two others who are not on the Scg what about other representatives of the Scg including representatives of the largest supporters group on the Scg were they invited:thinking about:No they weren't. So we'll have a cosy meeting with people wh represent just a few people especially if they attend Sixfields but we wont talk to the Trust:claping hands::facepalm:

So in other words you are moaning the trust didn't meet her? Probably something to do with drawing pictures of her as a pig etc etc.

Can't have it both ways surely?

Are you surprised though that Joy Seppala won't talk to the Trust? After the Trust questioned the Golden Share being awarded to Otium and hyping up the Haskell bid to purchase the Club and the Ricoh?

Yet to top it all off they make a mockery statue of Joy Seppala outside the Ricoh!! If I was Joy I wouldn't want to talk to the Trust either, at ther least the SCG who maybe not be big in numbers have been professional in this situation and it's paid off, unless your stating Kingharvest is a liar?

I would have thought as it's Coventry City and you support that team then it's very much your business.

Oh well - I don't want to argue about it. We've all got our opinions. I just don't want this situation to continue.

I do act on the things I suggest. Whether this comes to anything is another matter - but I'm discussing it in the background with others.

No I'm a supporter, a follower. I do not tell Ford how to design their cars or where to sell them, but I still own one. I did not tell Taylor Wimpey how to build my house but I still bought it and I will not tell SISU how to run my club, but I will still support it!

Didn't seem to bother her when she wanted the Trust to help with the Sixfields fiasco which was after that.
Can't have it both ways surely? Yes of course she can. Isn't she supposed to be this hard nosed business woman with bigger balls than the men? Or is this hard nose bing cut off to spite her face? Well I think we'll soon find out one way or another.

More than one.

Why did the trust meet with haskell for tea and not invite me as a member?

Maybe she finds people hiding in bushes at ryton or standing outside her office drawing pictures of her scary?

The trust burnt bridges a long time ago and hopefully Steve can rebuild them along the club.

It's a bit shit ain't it but I think what's going on at Cardiff is an outrage. That guy is trying to discredit the clubs History. At least our owners aren't doing that eh.
