I hope it's good news! Not sure what it could be that would be fed to the CT, who the club don't seem to favour, and days before its actually announced.

 

[Captain Dart]

Bit too much of a tease for me. I'm steeling myself to be bitterly disappointed.

 

[Senior Vick from Alicante]

8pm seems a little strange. Sick of all the cloak and dagger crap around the club. Fans keep being treated like shit so they ramp it up again just to get us all going then let us down again. Fishers now probably got a one tenth scale of the model of the stadium he will never build.

He's turning into a woman

He'll have bought a job lot of CCFC antifreeze at bargain prices, ready for the winter.

 

[italiahorse]

Is it the fixtures ?

 

[Captain Dart]

Is it the fixtures ?

No

 

[chiefdave]

Is it the fixtures ?

22nd for those, normally first thing in the morning as well.

 

[Captain Dart]

Maybe it is to do with Speedway or JLR or some other Company that plans to move into Coventry, not Football?

 

[Johnnythespider]

He will be opening a new box of After Eight

[Lord_Nampil]

is he replacing Kieran??

 

[Ian1779]

To be honest I care about as much as the CET care about CCFC.

 

[Ian1779]

is he replacing Kieran??

Like a Wasps sleeper agent?

 

[eastwoodsdustman]

I'm sure he'll post it on here first if he can remember his password. Reckon he's lost it and that why he's not been on here for a while. Nothing to do with being called out on his statements and stories.

 

[Mr T - Sukka!]

He has a new book coming out:

Amazon product ASIN 1785312103
Spotted this earlier, it advises its being released on October 3rd 2016.

 

[Nick]

Is that the announcement?

Will be an interesting read to see what's in there, what isn't etc.

 

[SkyBlue_Bear83]

Can't be important if its being held back to Wednesday

 

[skyblue025]

So will it be fact or a load of old shit, 1/2 truths and rumours to make him a few quid?

 

[BigadamL]

SISU are putting us on the stock exchange and they are waiting till the close of play on Wednesday in New York to announce it?!?!?


I think not

 

[covcity4life]

If it's the book I will burn every copy

 

[asiaskyblues]

This is why people don't take him seriously. He is like a 14 year old girl who attention seeks. He called himself the chief writer the other day but I notice he doesn't deal with football related stuff now, only the legal stuff. I have heard a sponsor may have been found for the academy so maybe to do with that.

 

[AFCCOVENTRY]

£12.99???? Wtf

Making money off our perils...

That's all we have from all sides involved so it's never going to be anything else.

See? You're learning

I'm sure that we can all guess....who's publishing it? Coventry City Council?

I'm sure he will be donating at least 50% to the club or the Trust.

 

[hill83]

Fair play to him writing a book. But I'm halfway through Jurassic Park at the moment so I'll probably leave it.

 

[OffenhamSkyBlue]

Maybe he's leaving the Telegraph to go back to college and learn how to conduct investigative journalism, rather than scouring the internet and social media for half-truths and groundless rumours?

 

[RegTheDonk]

Can't be positive news otherwise Les and the Observer would have first dibs?

Coventry City fans had plenty to be happy about in the late 1990s. They had been a top-flight side for more than three decades, and they were graced with a team of glittering international stars such as Robbie Keane, Gary McAllister and Mustapha Hadji. The future appeared bright with the promise of a huge new multi-purpose stadium - including a retractable roof and removable pitch - that would make the club self-sustainable. Fast-forward another 15 years and the club found itself with no stadium to call its own, playing in front of tiny crowds some 35 miles away from the club's home city. Coventry City: A Club Without a Home is a journey through one of the most turbulent times in the history of the Sky Blues, told by those caught in the eye of the storm.
