All of your rants in here are based about finance.
We would still be running at break even etc if we had a fan takeover tomorrow with no billionaire owners to pay for players the club couldn't afford it's self.
I thought we were talking about Coventry City?
Your examples are all about billionaire owners
Got nothing to do with 60 years ago... Southampton, Chelsea, Man City, Bournemouth, all had backing.
Westwood? So was it SISU or Boothroyd? Would he want to work for a manager who as you put it had 'disrespected' him? Baker was dumped by Pressley but you're still trying to stick that on SISU. It's desperate. Players come and go. There is no such thing as loyalty in football, look at MR and his sky blue blood. It's not the 60's. Did Murphy leave and take a pay cut? You are solely going on what the players have said, which these days means very little.
Similar for me (but you can dd Leicester to the other clubs followed... and Forest! instead of Villa, with a fair few Liverpool glory hunters at that time), but then again you could also argue that's part of the reason our gates haven't held up as well as say Sheff Utd and Norwich when we fell down.I remember growing up in the late 80's/90's being one of thr only cov fans in school, everyone else supported mainly Liverpool or the likes of Everton, Man United or Villa. We were in the premier and it was a rarity to so see cov shirts. I used to get so much crap for supporting cov. In fact of my group of best friends only 2 support city, 3 support Liverpool, 1 united and the other WBA. All born and raised with city in the top flight and on our door step.
corrected it for you.You know someone has lost the argument when they start using bold font. FACT.
We were already seriously in the shit before SISU took over. Look at how many clubs overspent in the Prem and as soon as they lost their place in it carried on going lower.And yes that's true, SISU are not to blame for everything wrong at CCFC. but please be patient with me whilst I try to think of something that they WEREN'T to blame for.

My main problem with them is the way they dealt with the Ricoh and the aftermath.

Didn't I state on the Ricoh fiasco?And you've never seen me say any different mate. Our debt was reduced from over £60m to around £25m-£30m before SISU takeover, and like stated it was serious debt, yet SISU claim to have cleared all debt and CCFC were one of [QUOTE Ray Ranson... One of only 3-4 Football Clubs totally free of debt.] Now I would say that going from "Debt free" to allegedly being £60m..£70m(Pick a number of your choice) without owning your own ground, when having ample opportunity to buy into the Ricoh was far more serious.

Externally we were debt free. And you know what I think of Fisher twisting the truth when he can. To me the internal debt is there for the balance sheet maybe because of the JR's and to be able to keep a tight grip on our club. It helped them when we went into administration.
Has there been any time when it hasn't been a fiasco?Yes you did mate, but you never stated under which ownership.
Well we were only debt free in the same way we are now.And you've never seen me say any different mate.

Well she must be better apparently ploughed millions into the club to make it what it is today.Is Rupert secretly thinking joy could be the new Derrick Robbins?
Well we're only debt free in the same way we are now.
Not really. Wonga would have been a cheaper way to borrow.It is all a bit Wonga.
