I suppose it depends on the interpretation of the reader.

I think you're right. The club statement about TM stepping down says: "Technical Director, Mark Venus will take responsibility of first team duties with immediate effect" The wording makes it sound like a permanent appointment.

As we're in the world of fantasy managerial appointments and our support has some kind of fixation with ex-players, how about John Aloisi? He has a great 50% win percentage with his current club and had a reassuringly dismal 20% with his previous one. As we're used to such inconsistency he'll...

I think you'll find national papers are always looking for material to fill their pages. The CT journalists could have 'phoned or emailed their London colleagues at any time over the past 9 years and got a piece in the Daily Mirror or Sunday Mirror.

Isn't the CT owned by a national media company, couldn't they have got the story in the Daily Mirror and/or Sunday Mirror pretty much any time they liked over the past 9 years?

But nowadays could any local newspaper hope to get the sort of mass support needed to demonstrate to SISU that they're not wanted? The population of the city is about 340,000, so 17,000 is about 5%. If you look at the supposed 'catchment area' for the club the figures look even worse. I think...

That's a very good question. I don't have the answer.

A petition was never going to persuade SISU to sell and leave, the CT must have known that.

Gilbert, I hope.

CCFC has given tickets to Coventry University Students' Union before, what is different this time is the number of tickets. Personally, I don't see anything wrong in the club trying to attract interest from people who are likely to be in the city for the next 3 or 4 years. If some come back...

Hereford United was liquidated and Hereford FC is a different business organisation, so that's quite like our situation might be. It seems that Hereford FC was allowed to play in the 9th tier through negotiation with the football authorities rather than any automatic right. Of course, the...

But wouldn't 'Liquidation', by definition, see see the breaking up of the club and the disposal of it's assets? If 'Liquidation' happens someone might purchase the name CCFC, someone else a left back, someone else the first team kit. Unless someone bought the 'rump' of the business I think...

Doesn't Jesus play for Manchester City?

Difficult to say, Gibson and Regis didn't really gell as a partnership. I'm not sure Regis was particularly settled at Coventry initially and that probably reflected in how he played. I seem to recall the rumour at the time Regis signed was that Coventry wanted to re-sign Garry Thompson...

I was thinking more along the lines of the family have a history of owning part of a sports club that doesn't own it's own stadium. Anyway, for the paranoid surely 'Jaguar' is more of a coincidental link.

Daddy was a minority shareholder in the Jacksonville Jaguars (NFL). The Jaguars play at a stadium that's owned by the City of Jacksonville.

Of course Cyrille scored 5 for us in one match at HR (against Chester). The tragic thing about him leaving was, as you say, he didn't want to go.

He could control and run with the ball, but as he was probably at his best at HR running on to through balls. He had a good shot. On the downside he used to get caught offside a lot and could be selfish (he'd try to score instead of passing to someone in a better position). Someone else...

First, I wasn't screaming about anything. Second, you're wrong as I actually don't think the club should have moved from HR. Third, what financial black hole. The national stadium bid came up and had gone before the council financially committed to the stadium. Fourth, I disagree that the...

I didn't like the way the council pushed us to one side when the chance of a national football stadium came along.
