Ashdown i'm not a marketing tosser, been following the city since 78. Went home and away till 10 years ago. then work and kids got in the way. So been there, done it and bought the tshirt. I am just fed up of the crap on here about how bad the team is and everyone looking to blame someone else for it. Sisu tried throwing money at the club the first season and the attendances went down, so in all honesty can see where they are coming from in cutting costs. I do not like it, but then i live in the real world. just thought i would point out the obvious as we do not have a rich owner with bottomless pockets. so if you want to see us pushing for promotion then the only way is to back the team with season tickets. Perhaps AshbyJan can ask one of his contacts at the club what the outcome would be if season ticket sales were higher than normal. Would the funds be invested in the playing squad?
Steady on there Skyblues2K. you're suggesting people actually support their team. What a crazy notion. What, actually go there? This forum isn't likely to throw up many fans. A lot of them actually don't go and they quite openly say that.
Your thoughts are brilliant but will fall on deaf ears here, they're too busy making excuses. They moan forever about wanting a good team but won't do their bit in bringing that about. Their support is conditional. 'Win and I might think about it is their mentality.'
Just wish there were a few more like you about. Well done mate. Keep the faith
I dislike SISU as much as anyone, but they won't stop me supporting my team. Derby, Norwich, Southampton. They've got better teams because they've got better supporters.
Talk of Coventry being a town of people not coming from Coventry is old tosh these days. Look around England these days. We're multicultural almost everywhere, and a lot of these people like football.
The simple enthusiastic logic you suggest would make the world of difference.
The implication behind your comment NLHWC is that by taking such action a better outcome may be achieved.
When there is no alternate buyer with serious purchase intent how is this the case? Ultimately supporters are illogical anyway and support a team not to see success but because they enjoy the experience of being part of an organisation they feel an allegiance to. If you are going to be equally controversial you could argue sisu have been acceptable owners in that they have spent considerably more money than they have received back in income. They could only be judged if 20,000 were attending and they continued to assett strip. Can they be really judged until that situation occurs.
Other clubs have had ownership issues but the fanbase has continued to remain strong. Look at Portsmouth.
Otherwise, I'll play Devil's Advocate, and throw it straight back at you: fans who blindly follow, paying their money regardless of what is done to the club, are part of the problem, not the solution. Your continued support of SISU entrenches their position, and ultimately will see the club liquidated.
We will never know, will we?

I think you do know already just by what is written on this forum. Apart from yourself, Kduffy and a couple of others the vast majority will never trust these tosser again no matter what they say and I am right up there with them
Where did I say that I trusted them?
Nearly every post you make is to back shitsu up, even wanting them to get their hands on the ground as then they kiss us were it hurts and make it better

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
I've looked on the site over the last week or so, but kept my gob firmly shut....NOW I'm opening it again.
How refreshing to see skybluehugh, NLHWC, tell it as it is:claping hands::claping hands::claping hands:
Where did I say I trusted them? Just because I don
't slag the off and give them amusing names like shitsu it doesn't mean I want them to stay. I want our club to be secure. I don't want SISU, sorry shitsu gone because there is no one else.
At the moment it is like watching some one you love to bits slowly die of cancer you know it is going to happen just not when, so cannot get on with the grieving.
And yes I have been there

I have to disagree. It's nothing like watching someone you love dying of cancer. It's our team yes, but it's not a person. You need to get some perspective, I think.
You will not find a post saying I trust them so don't make things up. You will find posts saying we need to rely on them as they are the only game in town. Correct me if I am wrong. What do you want SISU out, lets liquidate the club, lets call ourselves AFC Coventry and play at the memorial park?
I don't.
As for trust did you never watch the club under Bryan Richardson. Have you trusted everything Mr Coventry said - including welcoming SISU with open arms and openly encouraging the sale of small shareholders to them?
If you want the club destroyed carry on - personally I would like it still there next season. Silly me.
As they say, "Hindsight is a wonderful thing"
From the day SISU took charge, I said they would "Kill our Club"..."Asset stripping being the nature of a Hedge fund"
I remember being "Shouted down in forums"
Now that the Boot is on the other foot.....It feels soooooo good to be proven right, though not being happy that it's happening to OUR Club!

If it were me I wouldnt be so smug about being proved right, as its our club we are talking about.
What Forums were you shouted down on? What was your username(s)?
Have you read what I've written? I stated I'm not happy about it happening to our club...NO I'm NOT HOWZER, and What the fook has it got to do with you what forum!!!....My username is Sky Blue Kid
"Hindsight is a wonderful thing " is aimed at kduffy about Richardson. Who are you anyway?...Judge?, Jury?, Hangman?
If you post on a forum you should expect some debate, and thats all it is dont take it so personally. I have no problem with you, was just asking a question.
A debate, I enjoy....being attacked, however, is a different thing!
I know exactly what you were trying to do Moff!!!
You was hoping to find something to "Have a go" at me with, weren't you! Put your cards on the table mate.
Simply by insinuating username....I don't have anything to hide. What a few people on here need to realise is......You may be eloquent in the posts that you write, but does NOT give you the right to "Put posters down" because their views differ to yours, or cannot express their thoughts in the way that others can!
