    A bar named Sisu

    Can't imagine them opening a bar by this name in Coventry. Worth a symbolic visit? New rooftop bar Sisu is coming to Oxford Street – and it’s got a negroni machine!

    A day without

    For once, a day without company accounts, golden shares, sale of grounds, the Alan Higgs Trust, the Wasps, the Council, ground shares thirty miles from home, Arvo, Otium, a chairman taking training, administration, points deductions, text a sub, judicial reviews, battering people in court...

    An urgent plea to Mark Robins

    Mark, whatever you do next season, I implore you to find a new, experienced goalkeeper who is capable of playing 90 minutes without routinely conceding at least 2 goals (usually more) every game. And please release the two clowns who have stood in our goal this season and let them find their...

    How many of the current squad

    How many of the current squad would you like to see at the club next season? I would say at Stevenson, Willis and that's it. Don't expect many long lists of names!

    The return of the manager

    If Robins is announced as the new manager (with SISU I won't believe it until they finish the press conference) is this the first time in our history that a manager has returned for a second spell?

    I don't like Ricketts, oh no

    There seems to be a prevailing view that Ricketts is likely to be our next manager. Presumably for the sole reason that he would be a cheap option. In my view, Ricketts is definitely not what we need in League 2. I want to see a manager with experience of League 2 or the National League who has...

    Reassuringly consistent

    Nice to see that in these uncertain times, one thing remains reassuringly constant - our truly appalling form after Christmas. Unfortunately this season we didn't get the points on the board to offset the traditional slump.

    What's more likely

    SISU win a court case or we win another league match this season?

    Lack of quality on the pitch

    Aside from our off pitch woes, how many of our players would even grace the National League? I'd say only Stevenson, Willis, Clarke, Stokes and Beavon are worthy of being league footballers and the first two of those are likely to be off at the end of this month and two of the others have only...

    We might as well...

    ...get rid of the entire squad in January and bring in 22 new players be they loans, free transfers whatsoever. What harm could it do as with this squad we'll do well to win another three games this season and will go down with our lowest points total ever. Might as well roll the dice completely...

    Jordan Turnbull

    Don't go to games these days as I live 150 miles from Coventry and I'm not a sadomasochist (I did have a season ticket for nearly 25 years) but from following games from TV highlights and reading reports, this guy appears to be responsible for the majority of goals we concede. He appears to be...

    How does this end?

    Following the confirmation yesterday by Fisher that (a) SISU will not invest in the club and (b) they have no intention of selling as they will simply cut their cloth to break even whatever level we end up at, we need to think of some scenarios to change this seemingly inevitable drift of a once...

    Some good news at last

    It's a Saturday and we are guaranteed not to lose!

    The bottom line

    Listening to Fisher interviewed twice today amid all the fluff of the stadium, court cases, financial mismanagement, on the field issues etc, one thing stands out. Namely, SISU are (a) now breaking even and even generating a slight annual profit due to the costs being cut to the absolute bare...

    Venus over the Moon

    A predictable headline in the light of today's events!

    Acting out of pure malice

    As Sherlock Holmes once said when you eliminate the impossible, the only thing left , however improbable, is the solution. Over the last nine years fans have baffled over the illogical and irrational decisions taken by our beloved owners. We've had team after team systematically dismantled, a...

    We will almost certainly be ground-sharing

    I can't understand why so many people on here are thinking SISU are going to get round the table to negotiate with ACL and getting us playing at the RICOH next season. I just don't see it happening. The current state of play appears to be: SISU will no longer consider playing at the RICOH ACL...

    Taxi for Fisher

    Very frustratingly for all of us it increasingly looks as if SISU are going nowhere. In fact the more unpopular they become, the more it appears they are determined to remain in charge. Sadly, I think they could be here for another 5-10 years potentially. Make no mistake, I want SISU out as much...

    A club with no fans

    That's exactly what we will be reduced to if SISU get their way and we move to Walsall. What players are going to want to play for this shell of a club? I would suspect even most of the remaining Academy players will be considering their prospects. With the lowest home crowds in the league...
