    You don't win anything with kids

    As we have a revolving door of players short term contracts and loans, since we were relegated there is always the risk that you get it wrong like we have done this pre-season. We don't have an established scouting network, we are a club in crisis, we are replacing a large number of players is...

    Would you go to Wembley if we make it?

    In the programme for the Man Utd v Cov 4th round tie in 1987, there is a joke / cartoon where Cov fans are singing Wembley and the Man Utd fans comment that we don't know where it is and just follow them as they are always going there and know the way. A very ironic joke that backfired on them...

    Investment on the Horizon?

    Whilst I would like to see myself as a traditionalist, we are in a desperate state we risk losing a whole generation of fans whilst we continue our slide with poor players losing games in a mostly empty stadium, the current fare on offer at CCFC was not what got me in love with the sky blues...

    Investment on the Horizon?

    As much as I hate the fact that WASPS got out stadium, the way they promoted themselves and were promoted by Coventrians often at the expense of the football club, I think they should stay, it makes business sense to utilise the stadium, it does bring profile o the city of Coventry - but we...

    Your Ideas On Moving The Club Forward

    Our last season in the championship - when we were nailed on for relegation from the start, selling out top goalscorer at Xmas too replace with an untried loanee we still got a 15,000 average gate having been in the relegation zone virtually all season. I am still bemused as to why posters...

    Your Ideas On Moving The Club Forward

    If new rational owners of CCFC s that there is no future as tenants of WASPS and that they need their own stadium CCC will be in an awkward position as they have facilitated the WASPS move and actively promoted them since they arrived. CCC will be seen to have helped engineer a situation where...

    Your Ideas On Moving The Club Forward

    But the council clearly favour WASPS, if our long term future is away from the Ricoh Butts or an alternative site, would they actively support it as it inceases the risk of WASPS failing and also confirms to the Coventry public that even after SISU have gone there was no future for CCFC at the...

    Your Ideas On Moving The Club Forward

    Even if SISU chuck in the keys, we are left with a club with virtually no infrastructure required to try to negotiate with WASPS and a potentially hostile council to try to create a future. Unfortunately there is no practical way of moving the club forward.

    Venus set to stay until January

    Hopelessly out of his depth as a manager of a team on the pitch and equally poor and as a recruiter of players. I think we are clutching at straws expecting that something spectacular is about to happen that justifies the decision to continue with MV pending this cosmic event to happen, this is...

    I feel guilty

    Back in 1993 we played Man U at home, Nan U were battling with Villa for the title (I hated Villa at the time, not bothered now) went to the game wanting Man U to win, to try to ensure Villa weren't champions, within a few minutes of KO back to wanting Cov to win, we lost 1-0 in the end. The...

    When SISU leave ....

    I read this thread thinking it was serious but although I may have had my disagreements with the moderator don't believe he is any SISU promoter but the title of the thread annoyed me most SISU aren't leaving any time soon, not unless they get a huge offer for the club, there are legal routes to...

    ADAM BRIERLEY.

    as an employee at the club does not fancy having a go up front. CCFC is a very small business and his role as FD would be a couple of days a month, not sure you can read too much into that or may be its the start of good things or really bad things, who knows but there's more movement on our...
