    Let's speculate, who's going?

    Bournemouth have extended the loan of Artur Boruc until the end of the season so that would seem to be a fair indication that Allsop will stay at City for the season too.

    New stadium site is known

    I have long feared that will be their exit strategy. Their options are becoming limited now that they have been outsmarted on the Ricoh sale. The club's lack of assets and diminishing income makes the future look very bleak. I would say that your scenario is considerably more likely than any...

    Coventry Council WILL support a new stadium...

    The ones leaving at half time won't even bother at all soon. By the time we open the doors at the mythical new ground the club will be in tatters and crowds at Sixfields levels. Imagine the atmosphere at a draughty, almost empty ground, 12000 capacity and made of Meccano, as we manage a 0-0...

    New stadium site is known

    I agree that Garlick is being used as some sort of gullible patsy. Can she really be so stupid as to fall for these tales. My suspicion is that Sisu are putting out these rumours to try and raise some interest in the club from the lapsed fans. I believe that with all the off-field capers...

    Waggott: Our Stadium Planning is Vital

    "Announcement in the new year" :facepalm: Which year? Their complaints about the sale of the Ricoh show that it is all a charade. Nobody believes them other than a few deluded fools now. They have no money and nowhere to build. Even if they did, the planning process and build time could...

    you might be surprised

    I agree with that. Pressley's setting up of the team is a joke and we often look totally clueless. Much of that has to be down to him being incapable of distinguishing between a good and a rubbish player so we have ended up with some of the worst dross I've ever seen. Pressley is responsible...

    Gary Madine. Yes or No?

    I think he would be a decent signing. When I've seen him he seems to be the only one putting in a decent shift, he worked his backside off in the Fleetwood game despite being isolated up front in an obvious lost cause. I have serious doubts that he would actually sign for us though. He may...

    here we go...

    They are clearly after money. The Ricoh is gone, Wasps own it now and that will not change. All SISU want is a fat slice of compensation from someone to get some of their losses back. If they did, they might just decide to clear off. But as the club would be worthless in terms of a sale, it...

    here we go...

    What the club's owners seem to fail to grasp is that by the time all this nonsense is concluded -even in the unlikely event that they win the case - is that there will be hardly any fans left to watch them. There may be a couple of dozen people debating it on this forum, but most City fans are...

    here we go...

    Wasps are clearly run by smarter people than CCFC. If they have any sense they will react to this latest crap by trying to get the football club out of the Ricoh for good. Frankly, you couldn't blame them if they did.

    here we go...

    Sick and tired of this. Why can't they just concentrate on trying to get the football club out of its downward spiral and forget about all this litigation nonsense? This confirms our decision not to renew next season. But I feel inclined to contact the club and ask for a pro rata refund on...

    Reda (again) out for 3 weeks

    His record shows that we will do well to get him to play in half the games. Johnson is hardly the first crock we have signed over the years. Our history is littered with them. At least he isn't as dodgy as Keith O'Neill.

    Next Seasons season ticket...or not.

    I feel like that about the game in general. Add on the state of the club I've supported since 1963 and there isn't much going for football at the moment. I had a ST for 46 years before Sixfields. When we returned to the Ricoh I (and wife) rashly renewed but, like some others, are regretting...

    Dressing rooms not a drama

    What you are really saying is that 75% of the electorate don't vote in the council elections at all. They get a majority of those that do vote, of course. The ones who vote against them can be said to have no confidence in them. I would argue that the 75% who can't be arsed are quite content...

    Callum Wilson

    Wilson has done well and his move to a relatively small Championship club has served him well as he is still a big fish in a small pond. He proved the could play in a poorish team here and now he has shown he is a decent striker at AFCB's level. He is clearly being well managed and using this...

    SCG minutes for December 4th

    Sounds like a typical committee to me. Plenty of hot air and waffle but nothing gets decided. My experience is that committees simply attract people who are committee-type wafflers. I can see why the filthy toilets and appalling catering are brought up. But I doubt anything will happen...

    The right choice

    Yesterday we had a choice of watching City or travelling 100 miles to a music gig. Even a couple of years ago there would not have been a choice to make, home games took priority over anything. Not any more, even though we have season tickets. Sounds like we made the right choice too.

    Dimi....

    Not just goalkeepers but players in general. There are plenty of players who were thought not good enough for City but are doing perfectly well at a higher level. You have to put it into perspective and realise that they may not be that much better than when they were here. It's just that we...
