    Match Thread Hull City - Coventry City Match Thread - Monday 14th Apr

    I think that Hull had a lot to do with that - they really didn't take the impetus which must have been frustrating for their fans to see. Frustrating game, but the performance was pretty good albeit against a poor and very accommodating opposition. A bit more conviction and luck from Simms and...

    Ellis simms

    I think Simms is a player who can develop both in terms of his application / confidence and also perhaps some of his tactics. I also think as a team we need to develop more patterns that involve playing him in centrally with the ball at his feet. It's not all on him. Like many players, he had a...

    Match Thread Coventry City - Stoke City Match Thread - Saturday 8th Mar

    I don't really understand it because if you total up all of those categories of ticket I listed its 33,784. I think what inflates that number is "corporates" - which are different tickets but occupy tickets in the stadium, so there's overlap there that increases the overall total. I'd like to...

    Podcast Ep 32 - Cov's accounts discussed with football finance expert Kieran Maguire

    We know it was loss making in the year the Frasers Group took it over and we also know they spent a bunch in that first year of acquisition. The details though are now all wrapped up and hidden in the group accounts, so we don't really know...

    Podcast Ep 32 - Cov's accounts discussed with football finance expert Kieran Maguire

    You would think Doug would immediately pay off the loan, look to acquire the stadium and invest enough in the squad to give a shot at survival and if not, an immediate bounceback. With ~30M (was it?) in debt to doug and whatever the price of the CBS would be... might not leave a great deal in...

    Podcast Ep 32 - Cov's accounts discussed with football finance expert Kieran Maguire

    Never once did I call it credible - I'm stating that having someone repeating what a lot of the fanbase think to someone who is more than capable of sticking to the facts of the accounts as he interprets them is actually a good thing. Maguire has "often been known to spin things to suit" -...

    Podcast Ep 32 - Cov's accounts discussed with football finance expert Kieran Maguire

    My point is more - it's better to have someone represent these views (Dawkins) with someone very qualified to confirm or deny them (Maguire). Your point is...

    Some? Let us not forget chemtrails whatshisname and plenty of others. But still, you only have to read here, twitter, facebook or listen to a phone in to understand that there are large parts of the fanbase that will question anyone's motive. My point is - having that view represented is...

    You think our fanbase doesn't contain a lot of shit stirring and misinformation? Have you read this forum!?

    Podcast Ep 32 - Cov's accounts discussed with football finance expert Kieran Maguire

    Clearly Dawkins divides opinion but at least you can say his cynicism towards Doug King reflects a lot of the fanbase - so in that respect, having someone firing those questions is probably a good thing. I don't think he's hidden his bias at any point but has definitely softened as DK has shown...

    Frank or Mark?

    I think an established well run Premiership club would be very tempting for him but he's some way off getting that kind of offer. We've put together a great run under difficult circumstances but that's all it is at this point - a run. He'd need to get us promoted and have a solid start next...

    Spotting fellow Cov fans in the wild

    Weirdest one I can recall is running around Central Park in NYC one morning with a Cov training top on and someone shouting "SKY BLUE ARMY" at me... totally knocked me off my pace :LOL: .

    Clive Eakin

    I like Rob & he holds a special place in the heart of a lot of us because of all he's been through with Coventry back in the good/bad old days. I also enjoy much of the debates, arguments and teasing between him, Clive & Oggy. I get annoyed at Clive a lot for getting names wrong (almost any...

    Viktor Moving on

    I don't think so, to be honest. Their progress in the CL is vitally important to them - they'd have played him if he was fit.
