in response to recent questions about Keep Cov In Cov’s position:
KCIC has spent a lot of time listening to fans and we are confident that
- Saying Arena Coventry Limited have questions to answer but SISU are primarily responsible for moving us to Northampton is the mainstream, majority view
- Saying we would be better off owning the Ricoh but SISU cannot be trusted, is the mainstream, majority view
- Saying SISU are not good for our club, is the mainstream, majority view
- The people at the extremes are those who are only interested in being pro acl/sisu (is anyone really going to try to argue that kcic's petition calling to account all parties and selling t-shirts which say 'Keep Cov in Cov' is militant and extremist?)
Also,
- Some people don’t agree with the KCIC approach but the onus is on them to explain why they believe SISU are good for our Club or why they are pro acl and what is their suggestion for a better, realistic, feasible way of building a positive future that puts the team and fans first
- People claiming to be in talks with all parties when they’re not, and saying there’s a deal to be done when the parties are involved in legal battles not negotiations, is just sitting on the fence watching our club slowly die and fanbase drift away
- Repeating the same points endlessly, arguing over and over about who’s to blame and pursuing a hundred and one red herrings has got us absolutely nowhere and it’s time to stop
- The Spurs fan standing as a candidate in the local elections is nothing to do with KCIC - it is at best an unhelpful distraction
- Portsmouth is now run with a fan-led ownership model so the kcic approach is feasible
- The KCIC approach can’t be dismissed by people who say SISU will do what they want – campaigning is all about persuading people to change their mind and we’ve got to make clear to sisu what the reality is and they have no right to a return on their bad investment. Giving us our Club back might even repair some of SISU’s reputational loss!
