Not forgiven them for attacking the bit between the north stand and the Maine stand.
Fuck em.

Let’s have it right. If this happened to the scum or the dippers we’d all be over the moon.

They didn't own the ground, like us, the council owned it (along with some private company I think) - they sold the ground to WASPS.
So they rent the ground from WASPS but in some disagreement with WASPS, Cov's owners are suing WASPS. The contract for renting the ground is up at the end of the season and WASPS have told Cov they will not engage in conversation with them unless they drop the court case.

Would we really want the scum to disappear in entirety? No rivalry anymore and the chances of being sat next to one of the twunts increasing by the 658m or whatever mark when they jump ship to gods own, a few relegations absolutely but I am not sure I ld want them not to exist.

Self harm that mate. Get help.
Of course we wouldn't want that. It would be terrible. What we want is me to own them and earnestly express deep regret and frustration about their shocking plunge to division four.

No, no, no, no. No plunge, slow and steady decline. Maybe even a couple of short lived promotions back to the PL or Championship thrown in to get their hopes up. If it takes less than 20 years to get them from the PL to league 2, you're doing it wrong.
You've overlooked my promise to get them back where they belong and sign a couple of City youth players to assist with that.

Debt, they couldn't afford to run it and the club, so they sold the ground, and f*cked the club.

They didn't own the ground - the council and another company owned it - they in turn flogged it on the cheap to WASPS to avoid being saddled with a white elephant. That is why it pissed SISU off, they were running the club into the ground in the hope that SISU would get the ground on the cheap but the council flogged it to WASPS instead.

Apologies I thought they initially owned it, they sold something off (training ground ?), either way its been very badly run as a club.

It's a load of bollocks because 30,000 coventrian's haven't given a shit on a regular basis since around the 60's. They turn up for the Checkatrade trophy final and that's it.

Moving to the new stadium should have been the start of them establishing themselves at the top, instead it started an ever worsening decline. Weren't they solely in charge of the running costs of the stadium at the start, which they couldn't afford to do ?
