It's the PREMIER LEAGUE! Not been the Premiership for over 7 years.

It was the Premiership for all the years we were in it. We were the first team ever to go top in the Premiership. It will always be the Premiership until we return there. Could be a long time though.

When was your club last in the Premiership?

 

[Covstu]

It's really not a high quality league imo, look at what Leyton Orient/Rotherham did last year. That wasn't just a run of form like Yeovil, Tranmere did last season. They smashed it for the majority of the season.

Yeah Tranmere really smashed it into League two...

 

[Sky Blues]

That's a bit eggstreme*, mate!!! LOL!

(*For those of you who haven't spotted it, this is an eggcellent** pun, even if I do type so myself!)

(**Another eggsample*** of an egg pun!!!)

(***And another!!!)

Brian, you've come out of your shell with some great puns there. Cracking mate!

All part of Brand Scudamore. Indulge in the commercialisation.

According to the BBC this thread is a lot of fuss over nothing.

[torchomatic]

I'm so pissed off, Lars Veldwijk was our top goal scorer last season and we go and sell him.[h=1][/h]

Correct....some people just love the idea of all the shit surrounding city, getting worse!!!!

Wish we had his strike partner, Justin Credible....thank you thats all folks

I think it's expect the shit surrounding CCFC to get worse, not love. I dont think you can blame anyone for that given how backwards things have gone over the last 7 years under the current owners and all the years before.

[coventry is my faith]

Following blindly more like.

If we all did the same they wouldn't need to give us a squad or team to be happy with.

I'm not saying I wouldn't be unhappy with the selling of Wilson and I will be angry at sisu if Wilson is sold and the money isn't 're invested back into the team,but I follow my club full heartedly not blindly thank you very much !!! #PUSB !!!

how much of (say he was sold for) £3million, would you expect to be reinvested in the playing squad?

 

[I was eleven in 87]

A fiver??

 

[coventry is my faith]

At least 1 million would like to think all 3 million but it won't happen !!! #PUSB !!!

 

[ccfc92]

At least 1 million would like to think all 3 million but it won't happen !!! #PUSB !!!

would that be outright spending of 1million? as in transfer fees?

or any kind of investment (wages, compensation fees etc)?

 

[shmmeee]

We won't get the players we need in for £1m. You'd barely replace Wilson.

the books will be interesting for 13/14 season to read :thinking about:

 

[SkyBlue_Bear83]

Yeah Tranmere really smashed it into League two...

What are you on about, I never said they smashed it anywhere. I was referring to their fluky run the season before where they led the table until January/February time.

The quality of this league is poor, Rotherham and Leyton Orient proved it. It's the same every season, 85% of teams in this division are poor with 3/4 decent teams every season. You don't need to invest heavily to be successful in this league.

Which if true, begs the question is Pressley the Messiah everyone on here makes out?

Yeovil managed promotion on a much lower wage budget than ours.

This just shows, that the right manager, with the right players can achieve anything. Especially with a good board behind them.

Very true, however research does show that wage bill determines final position 90% of the time.

It's all about the right environment. Something we're a million miles from.

agree with your post aswel, I just mean occasionally the right mixture throws up good teams.

like an underdog winning the 87 cup final against world class players

About 34 miles, actually.

 

[italiahorse]

You know what? At the risk of sounding like italiahorse, if we sell him and we aren't back at the Ricoh this season I'm done.

Some people are leaders others are followers.

 

[The Gentleman]

Wilshere

Might as well try and sign Becktham while we are at it.

Sorry Hillt. It's just the way we speak up here in the posh part of Coventry. You can never have too many T's.

a very good team that finish 7th in the top division won the cup that year.

The record is broken..
