Thank SISU For That....

Well, if Coventry City's alarming slump down the table was all SISU's fault, I presume the recent run of decent results, which has ended fears of dropping into League One, is down to SISU too? Thanks SISU....

Apart from the dismal display versus Preston, the quality of football under caretaker boss (SISU's 'cheap option') Andy Thorn has been far, far better than under the previous manager, and so have the results. This despite the fact the players SISU have left us with are supposedly not good enough.... 

It is worth noting - with everything being SISU's fault - that one player was fined for comments made to Aidy Boothroyd, after said player scored earlier this season, while, after recent goals, the players have run to the touchline to celebrate with the current caretaker manager. Expletive free too. 

The fact SISU have put around £38 million into the club since taking over is not enough for some people (With the supposed villains of the piece recently putting upto eight million pounds into the club to stave off administration), despite the fact it's probably more than the money Coventry City have actually made themselves over said time. 

They have also been accused of 'asset stripping', because they have sold any player worth money (Two - and sent one out on loan that might be worth something one day), because the club is running at a loss. How very dare they. They really should keep bailing the club out till the missing thousands return.... 

New chariman (For now) Ken Dulieu has revealed 'players will have to go', though it is more likely that 'certain players will not be kept' would be more accurate - as if there was ever a chance of keeping hold of King and Westwood anyway? With the squad already wafer thin in the eyes of most supporters, low paid bargains are going to have to be found over the summer break, which is what Andy Thorn used to be paid to do - scout players. 

The full extent of the depth of the brown stuff Coventry City were in was revealed a few weeks ago, with one of the most telling stories being that the HRMC turned up at The Ricoh, with a view to seizing assets, only to find out/realise that the club does not have any (Short of taking Marlon King and making him work in their offices till some of the money they were after was paid back), and that said assets (Mainly furniture) actually belonged to ACL. 

While there are those that are concerned that SISU have stated they intend to stick around, without them we would be more sunk than we already are (If that's actually possible). Until Hoffman and Ranson return (As many are predicting), with Ranson going from 'chairman', to 'football consultant', to 'gone', all in the space of a few days (Though there are a fair few that believe this is so he can go away and front a rival bid to take over at the club) SISU are as good as we're going to get....

Fancy Investing nearly £40m in a 2-bob club like City....

Although obviously had we kept Calum Thomas....we'd be in the play-offs by now....carried there by his massive big-game experience(Sm3)

Fairly sure they've invested more than our turnover over the same period, which in my eyes means they're defintely not the bad guys!

Yes, they put money in but we need huge amounts of cash 100-200 million, 40 million just stemmed the tide.

Time they approached a Russian or Arab billlionaire.
