Please help CCFC exist

[Chris Cov 87]

Please as football fans sign this petition to try and force the parasite that is SISU sell CCFC. 9 years in charge they have relocated us to Northampton, at risk now of losing our academy; don't even now own our training ground. Only 16 months left on Ricoh lease. We are being stripped and if SISU stay in charge we won't exist in 12 months.

Please help by signing to save a fellow football club

Yes after years of hating Villa and Leicester I would do the same to help them stay afloat (got good mates at both). Not even Midlands I would hate for any football team to go under as is a focal point in any community, town, city, village the football club is and each should be given a fair chance to exist and prosper

Of course, but it feels a bit more real when closer to home, y'know? I'd help any club out personally, at the end of the day as you said, these clubs are part of our communities.

Signed. As a Port Vale fan I know just too well what its like to have complete twats run your football club.

 

[Marked Ox]

Signed. I can sympathise considering we are still getting screwed over by Kassam even though he doesn't own us anymore and self appointed himself the "Guardian of the club".

 

[BetterCallSaul]

My first ever football match was a Coventry one at high field.

Signed.

Signed. Don't want this to sound churlish but it's a pity you didn't start the petition instead of your local scribe. Your wording is far better and gets across the point of an asset stripper whose speciality is distressed debt. Good luck - SISU are hateful scumbags.

 

[WhiteRussian]

What happens after the Ricoh lease expires? Are Wasps willing to do a deal?

 

[WhiteRussian]

Oh and signed

 

[Meadow]

Signed. Despite the fact that we haven't got a pot to piss in, I'm glad that we're supporter owned so that we can hold the management committee to account.

 

[Camborne Gills]

Signed, as I would do for all except Franchise (yes even you Swine)

I see the club have banned the Coventry Telegraph from attending today's press conference.

 

[THE LAST WALTZ]

Signed, as I would do for all except Franchise (yes even you Swine)

Even the spotters, who tried to put us out of business?
I would have a lot of soul searching to do before signing that one!!
Oh, and signed.

 

[Chris Cov 87]

Coventry Telegraph banned from all CCFC press conferences now - what a joke!

 

[King Kev]

Signed

What happens if you reach the target? And what are SISU actually gaining from owning CCFC?

 

[Sheffsteel]

Apologies but isn't your request what ALL footballl fans want?
ie: Investment in their club, take a gamble and if it doesn't work then they clear off and more new owners throw money at their club with more new investment.

Just because SISU put CCFC up for sale wouldn't necessarily change much. Sheff Utd have been up for sale for about 10 years, our Chairman welcomes offers but we've still had no serious interest.

Wouldn't the variables making business difficult restraining SISU remain in place for the new owners? So it would need a massive investment from new owners just to reduce some of the overheads with relatively little chance of a return.

Also if SISU are currently selling off assets, signing free transfers and giving out low wages. Isn't that to balance the books to ensure the club remains in business or woukd you prefer SISU to overspend and risk going into administration.

I remember when SWFC had the dead weight of DEBT around their neck and they struggled to compete financially in league 1. Some of their own fans were wanting their club to overspend, run up debts, then go into admin to clear their debt so they could start again. They never officially went into admin but new investor Milan Mandaric did a deal with the Co-op bank to wipe out over 20 million pounds of debt so they could start again.

Sorry for the long post but it seems some clubs play by the rules and can figuratively die a slow death whilst others spend more they can afford, then if the gamble fails then go to admin and start again. Most investors are business men only interested in gaining a return. The problem is that football is a difficult business to achieve a return.

SISU are a hedge fund who specialise in asset striping. Just today to add insult to injury they've got planning permission to turn our training ground into 75 houses. Looks like he training in a car park soon

Fair point LW, but what goes around comes around. Where are they now, and where are their busloads of supporters from the Medway towns now?

The Olympic Stadium would be my guess...
