What was the one McGinnity threatened to sue?

That genius McGinnity who allegedly made his money when tipped off about all-seater stadiums by Robinson. McGinnity threatened to sue Nev Haddesley who ran GMK at the time and was a local sports reporter working in Birmingham. I think it was Adam Dent who castigated Nev when he phoned CWR. Nev has written books about the Sky Blues with someone whose name escapes me.

[DazzleTommyDazzle]

Me.

Think I was too (also GMK and LAST)

 

[Travs]

I think i was on GMK til the death.

The old GMK which was on the Rivals network was the funniest football forum i've been on. Lost hours on that place, as you could freely post on other club's forums as part of the network.

This site is a credit to our club though.

Weren’t you on skyblueuntrust?

I honestly can't remember, I think it might have been the one on the official page. 13 years and many beers, have clouded my mind

Licking windows probably

 

[JimmyHillsbeard]

I think it was GMK - I’m sure it was Knowle. McGinnity was an utter wanker

It was GMK in the days when it was run by Smiler. Before Knowle took it on. Iirc the poster who he threatened to sue (for calling him a ‘rogue’) was Steve Carpenter who went on to work for the Cov Observer

LAST - A nuthouse
Rivals - An utter nuthouse
GMK - A complete nuthouse
SBT - Bedwetters & Kenny Jackett

Take, I thought better of your memory

City chairman's war of words

Sky Blues chairman Mike McGinnity is threatening to sue the editor of a Coventry City fans' website for libel after a posting on it accused him of being dishonest.

www.coventrytelegraph.net

The 'lovable rogue' defence was also a good one.

Meanwhile McGinnity's letter says most of the board had a public standing and unimpeachable integrity. Begs the question who didn't...

*Really* old then, as I even said it earlier in this thread!

Is there a secret sub-forum for dick pics?

For that I think you need a WAN-G connection.

 

[ceetee]

I stuck with GMK until the very end despite it going off air a couple of times, partly because I couldn't get SBT to format at first.

The board raids were brillaint.

I don't think it was Carpo (I know him well and he's never mentioned it), I am pretty sure he only started working at the Observer well into the SISU era anyway.

 

[Nick]

I feel so old.

 

[ccfctommy]

Well, i joined in 2008 but never posted til GMK finally went. I tried to register here but totally forgot I signed up some years before.

Fun fact that i never shared on here. I used to work for the Council. Sometimes, I worked the reception desk at the Civic Centre. Tim Fisher and Mark Labovich (sp?) came in for meetings. Also, Preston Haskell the third came in for a meeting. Without thinking, I posted on here that Preston Haskell was in my building. The next day, my manager asked if I was CCFCTommy and I had a disciplinary about that!

This was probably around the Northampton season. Just goes to show that the bigwigs were looking at this website at the time!

Guessing if Tom is your real name then it kind of gives it away.....

2012 me.

2011

 

[ovduk78]

I've been on here since April 2011. I was on GMK and posted a few times but until its' demise I was just a watcher on here. I used to think on here was more Council supporting & SISU hating than GMK but it changed, maybe the transfer of ex GMKers levelled it out. Had some great laughs on here with what's been posted but nothing to compare with stuff that killerrumble used to post on GMK.

 

[Sick Boy]

I joined here in 2008 but didn’t post properly until it became busier - used to mostly post on skyblueuntrust and troll on GMK.

2008 but I've only posted a few times over the last couple years in protest at the change of colours and font

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Joined at the start of 2012 and within days got messages from certain Sky Blue Trust figures asking me to 'infiltrate' the London Supporters' Club meeting with Fisher. Not had any further espionage enquiries since

 

[Deleted member 5849]

Only had the one PM on here offering to fight me, which is slightly disappointing.
