theprince, never heard that story. That's something to ponder. He was certainly that ambitious looking at him from the outside at least. Derrick Robbins must have cursed himself for not giving Hill that long term contract. Allison always seemed erratic to me. And Clough, reading between the...

Disorganised, just courtesy isn't it. Burbage has a point. We can all recall the Villa sliding down to the Third Division. (Does a little jig!) Perhaps because I'm older relegation isn't the disaster it is for younger people. Don't get me wrong I don't like it one bit. But it isn't the end of...

Jack, the point of the discussion, as I see it, is the thinking around the club. The mentality of the owners, the fans, the players. As the original poster said - we were a very big club once and somehow we've been talked into believing we're not by the media , it has played a part in our...

It is old history but Hill wanted a ten year contract and despite his big success over the previous seasons Robbins wouldn't do it. Hill had big visions and he had the Coventry public with him - and Prince & Disorganised you are both right, he would've done brilliantly and the history of the...

JimmyHill'sChin, know exactly what you're on about. And your alias gives the clue that you maybe recall when we behaved like a big club with ambition under a certain brilliant manager. I started noting that our local media, after say Neville Foulger, began calling us things like 'unfashionable.'...

Lord_Nampil. think you're right about Bigi being held back. To me he was playing very much to instructions and his natural attacking game was being stifled. Certainly lots more to come from him. Whether that's in Sky Blue none of us know. But it will send out all the wrong signs, to the rest of...

There have been suggestions that Akinfenwa may be coming here. Just speculation mind.

Trying to get my head around being able to support the team whilst not being in the ground. Can someone explain that to me? Season ticket holder of 50+ years. (Paying monthly these days)

"didnt expect it to get any attention i was just in the mood to remind him his useless and unpopular he responded by telling me to shut up you egg ...... honestly i think its great you can banter with some of the players / abuse them if you like. " The above from Andi Robbo says so much about...

Steady on there Skyblues2K. you're suggesting people actually support their team. What a crazy notion. What, actually go there? This forum isn't likely to throw up many fans. A lot of them actually don't go and they quite openly say that. Your thoughts are brilliant but will fall on deaf ears...

You guys love taking the P. He's a traditional winger and I remember he had a good game up here for Scunthorpe. Very direct. Seems old at 31. But it does look like he's out of contract. Here's his stats at Soccerbase. http://www.soccerbase.com/players/player.sd?player_id=18011

What happened to Hyldgaard?

Like the comments from Italia Horse. Just get your ticket (DD possibly) and be there. If you're a supporter - you support. Anything else is nowhere. With ten thousand more fans turning up there wouldn't be any problems.

East Ender, you're a gent. Good luck.

Jack, we got a free for Gunna. As he was under 23. But we don't know exactly how much. I would hazard a guess of £300,000. Don't want to turn this into a thread about the merits of players, but Plattini won't score more than 5 goals a season. I know he does flicks ons etc, but he's a woefully...

West End Agro - "Bought mine today, I will always go, no matter what. Their is nothing I would rather do than watch the "City" West End Agro - spoken like a real true fan - not like a lot of the lukewarms on here. Constantly letting their team down and jumping ship. Wish there were another few...

Can't these morons be tracked down and punished? Few weeks inside.

The Muppett Movie.

Sub, you're nearly there, all those 'fans' who don't turn up.

Interesting side conversation going on here, Bobby Gould's players and situation and a bit of the Dave Sexton era. It was so bad under Sexton, playing resources wise, that the club brought in a few players from GEC on a regular basis to fulfill reserve team fixtures (and they weren't bad...
