I just don't want to be in the situation we were in just as SISU were taking over. It's just foolish to believe that throwing money at something will work. All this speculate to accumulate is risk after risk, and it rarely works. We need to have a long term vision and be patient.

we also need some investment in the club at all levels including the playing staff

SISU going bankrupt and forced to sell all its assets then ACL get it on the cheap.

Only way us tax payers the fans will own the CCFC and the Ricoh.

SWEET!!!

For me.

A few consistent seasons of the type of entertainment we have seen this year (mainly)

To see this in Coventry

To have the financial clout to keep players for longer than a season and when they do go to replace them
Properly

To be involved just once in a genuine promotion campaign

To play again at Championship level

The death of our owners in a lot of pain, then new owners would be nice

What on earth do you mean before Sisu took over? Our losses have increased since they took over!

This is like the Tories FFS! Sisu have NOT got a hold of our finances, they've been more profligate than most. They specualted as much as anyone and failed miserably. Just because they keep talking about costs doesn't actually mean they've done it.

Besides, it's not a binary situation where we either spend spend spend or cut the squad that they're so uncompetitive.

The trick to being a good club owner is being able to keep the playing side competitive whilst not breaking the bank. It's easy to spend no money and not be successful.

We will bring in more money when we get more fans. We will get more fans when we get success (or through a concerted, serious and sustained attempt to engage the community). That's the owner's job.

Just because someone points out that we are not competitive (and still losing money) doesn't mean that they're asking for a Man City style spending spree.

Just like the Government, misunderstanding of business finance leads to people simply think "We're broke, spend less" without realising that in both scenarios lack of investment also leads to falling income. Just like in a recession, we need to run a defecit briefly to get us going again. When we're doing well we can look to pay down the debt. Cutting at our lowest point will just result in us spiralling downwards into obvilion.
