    Match Thread Derby match thread

    Both teams need to win this. We are certainly capable of doing so Derby are nothing special. Got to start taking chances and to stop making stupid needless mistakes. If it is Biamou and Walker up front with the ball sent long more regularly then Biamou has to stay more central and Walker needs...

    It is unrealistic but... Own the Ricoh (at least half of it at least) or Build a new stadium at Warwick Uni?

    Not really. Certainly not in the next five years or so. I can only guess at their plan based on what I might do to achieve an investment in their shoes and past behaviour so might be miles out. Pure speculation I reckon the idea was that we would build for another year or so in L1, get the...

    It is unrealistic but... Own the Ricoh (at least half of it at least) or Build a new stadium at Warwick Uni?

    I think ccfc fans have got to take in and understand that wasps are not even considering a disposal of part of their interest in the stadium. They are certainly not going to do it on the basis of a 10 year deal with a 7 year break clause. Would sisu even pay sufficient to achieve it , I think we...

    Heres a toughie

    As I understand as to what wasps wanted was a ten year deal

    Heres a toughie

    No Financially we are still on the edge. All sisu have done financially is to roll up all the losses from then and since call them something else then add more loans at high interest. We rely on player sales to survive which is fine if those sales happen, because to remain competitive in this...

    Big sky blue news tomorrow

    Looks good so far but would rather news had broken as a done deal. Hopefully the announcement will be tomorrow. Primacy is a red herring. Yes the EFL have a regulation stating the club should have primacy but they also include in their regulations sections saying that they can use their...

    It is unrealistic but... Own the Ricoh (at least half of it at least) or Build a new stadium at Warwick Uni?

    Yes the club needs a long term solution I agree ............... but do the parties involved? that is far less clear. The considerations between the two choices in the thread are no different. It all comes back to the choice that gives the club the most net income and least debt long term

    It is unrealistic but... Own the Ricoh (at least half of it at least) or Build a new stadium at Warwick Uni?

    Let me say from the start i would love to see CCFC with its own stadium, not because of the financial sense it makes (have seen little to convince me it does) but above that because of the sense of identity and belonging it brings BUT to address this thread - to return to Coventry we need to...

    Match Thread Brentford

    Much much better. Played as a team, put the tackles and blocks in, competed all over the pitch, scored two. We pressed from start to finish, doing it at the right times and places and the decision making was much better. Played less pretty passing football in our half and were more direct. When...

    Match Thread Norwich game night

    I thought the first half last night was poor from ccfc. Norwich were full of confidence, moved the ball well with the odd mistake that they cleared up quickly. They looked a top of the table team. What they lacked was a goal scorer from their own play. Turns out they didn't have to worry because...

    Match Thread Norwich game night

    Head says we lose by two or three, heart hopes head is wrong. This is after all CCFC with a history of doing the unexpected Need to be a bit cleverer, manage the defensive part of the game better (that's all players not just back 4) to have a bit of steel and to cut out the mistakes. Fingers...

    Match Thread Cardiff

    Not really an unexpected result but what worries me is the manner of the defeat. You don't have to be a good team to fight from first to last. It is no good playing well for the last 20 minutes when the game is lost. Simply not good enough from all involved including on the touchline. Need to...

    Match Thread Cardiff

    not alluding to a total lack of confidence, they played good football up to the penalty area and yes played confidently to a degree. It is the final 5% of confidence that was missing it seemed to me. The bit that leaves you no doubt that as a player you will score and that as a team they will...

    Match Thread Cardiff

    Any pace we have seems to get expended in front of opponents defence. We dont make enough runs at the defence, breaking their lines. But to be honest there isnt great pace in the players available at the moment and the squad is lacking that extra confidence that makes them believe they can win

    Match Thread Coventry v Watford

    Been busy recently Thought we played well but Watford were poor. We really need to punish teams whoever they are if they are having a bad day at the office. Played some nice football but our ball retention errors are not improving greatly. There isnt anyone in the squad who you would say yes...

    Bryan Richardson

    I find it hard not to doubt what Richardson says. I may be wrong but thats my opinion of what he says He became a director in 1991 and resigned January 2002 When he came in CCFC Accumulated losses £3m (since 1907) Borrowings £2.2m other creditors £3.8m Fixed Assets £5.3m Net Assets £1.5m When...

    We are not going to be able to get a better idea of the rent deal at St Andrews until we get to see the 2020 accounts. These may not be seen until late May 2021 however as Companies House have extended filing requirements from 9 months to 12 Even then there is going to be some element of...
