    Coventry City fans to discuss possibility of supporter-led takeover

    Just a side thought..... At the moment apparently we need a good relationship with the council (we don't have one) We have to sell players to stay at breakeven We have an owner who can't put money in We have to run at breakeven. The current financial model as admitted by the person running the...

    Coventry City fans to discuss possibility of supporter-led takeover

    I thought Ryton was worth 2 million and there is 8 million debenture on it?

    Return to the good old days

    When they played us and just highlights on telly. I assume the same amount of time as yourself? They are strong powerful and direct but they are more direct in terms of diagonal ball. Not aimlessly hoofing it. They also have the right players for that style. Which is different to what we are...

    Return to the good old days

    Burton were solid defensively and didn't score a lot but they didn't just aimlessly hoof it. It might just get us out of relegation if we have two big signings still to come. However If we play it for all of next season. We will have our usual collapse after Xmas once we are worked out

    Return to the good old days

    Slade has looked at this and decided the only way out is to play dirty ugly football. Kick hassle harass then good it once you have it. If he thinks that's the only way to avoid relegation then back him. However he can't do that with this current team. Do if the owners don't want relegation then...

    Fans need to look in the mirror

    Cov fans have been fantastic all the way through this. Despite continuously feeling like the club is not been ran correctly. Having no connection with the owners. Going from 30 plus years in the top flight to 10 years of absolute failure. With possibly one or two seasons of hope that still ended...

    The old "budget" argument

    It's also important not to piss off and alienate your fan base and do lots of other things that lead to diminishing attendances. That then shrinks the budget

    The old "budget" argument

    No it is in the lower portion of the league. We are under performing for our budget we should be in the bottom half of the league but not in relegation However last season we did just as our budget allowed us. We were underperforming due to having one of the best budgets as many made out

    Match Thread Coventry v Fleetwood Match Thread - Saturday 21st Jan

    Yep agree a decent striker needed to be high priority. I never really felt that Sordell would be that player. Goalkeeper, dominant centre halve, McCann and a Leon Clarke type. That was what was needed and still is. Slade has come in and sorted one of those positions. As I say I don't like...

    The old "budget" argument

    Most now actually do accept that the budget is a lot lower than they thought it was.

    Match Thread Coventry v Fleetwood Match Thread - Saturday 21st Jan

    Do you think this squad suits the Long ball game? I don't have any issue with Slade doing it temporarily if it prevents relegation. However that won't happen unless he can sign a couple of warriors One up front and one in Centre Mid. That style of football will only do us for a few months...

    Match Thread Coventry v Fleetwood Match Thread - Saturday 21st Jan

    Slade told us he was going to play horrible football. He is just delivering what he promised. Unfortunately he needed to look at the squad and see if they can play that way. Most the squad are real footballers used to playing it on the deck. If he is going to stick with this he needs a warrior...

    The Butts

    They are very good at positive PR and community fan base building it seems.

    The Butts

    I would never go to a Wasps game because it just doesn't interest me. Me going or not going due to my status as a Cov fan is completely irrelevant.

    Wouldn't have Rose as a RWB? Burge Reily (RB) Clarke (CB) Rowson (CB) Haynes (LB) Stephenson (DMC) Rose (ACM) Jones (RM) Reid (LM) Beavon (ST) Thomas (ST) We really do need a creative central midfielder and a proper striker! It's defence over load at the moment

    What's the minimum acreage for a new stadium?

    24 hectacre Which is 60 acres So we need 60 acres and 40 million For 20k capacity, with ability to expand if we get owners who can actually afford to properly compete in the championship

    What's the minimum acreage for a new stadium?

    Pretty sure the fire station may be open to offers aswell. Haven't read the rest of the thread yet so excuse me if it's a no no. Regeneration in that part of the city is also rife

    Phone in

    I would hate it if I had a promising career. Then I trusted someone and thought it would really better my career. Turns out they were using me and it really hampered my career instead. Then because I couldn't accept that I had been used by someone else, plus the fact I did actually get...
