    We would have been better off with Robins

    Robins the man manager, Adi the tactical genius and top motivator I was told some time ago before all the sackings. I took it with a pinch of salt at the time, but it is increasingly looking if that may have been the case. Weird King praised Adi as a top-level coach then virtually said would not...

    Waddle and Kevin Keegan (too small) rejected by the City..

    Ex Player Watch

    Great in League 1, good in the Championship but time caught up with him in his last season. That said, we are missing his experience.

    We would have been better off with Robins

    We had something unbelievably special at our club with the set up of Boddy, Adi and Mark that has only previously happened twice in my lifetime. The Jimmy Hill era and during George and John's tenure. Some fun with Milne and Gould on occasions but the rest pretty meh. Mediocre is our default...

    We would have been better off with Robins

    Absolutely, but in the immortal words of Mandy Rice-Davies they would say that wouldn't they. It is about nuance not the full facts. Amazing how everything bad at the club was Robins fault. Do you honestly believe that, or does it sound more reasonable that there should be collective...

    Our 'Deck'

    If an assessment had been made after the Wolves and Man U matches last season, there would have been completely different observations. The players added have all been bought for development. King's input to make money I suspect. A great coach will develop these players and knit them into a very...

    We would have been better off with Robins

    In elite systems, Managers or Head Coaches no longer have the final say on signings. In fact, they are often overruled regarding their choices. They have input, not ultimate control. It is well documented how the whole system changed when Brendan Rodgers screwed up at Liverpool insisting on the...

    Video Executive Boxes at Coventry City!

    Been twice for free a couple of seasons ago. Food was not great. Service was dreadful. It was as if every time you asked for something they immediately forgot the request. You have forgotten my knife and fork. Don't worry I'll take care of it.

    Same ref as Middlesborough. Brave to correctly send their player off.

    Think they have a pretty good view and the benefit of replays. They don't always agree with refs.

    Match Thread West Bromwich Albion - Coventry City Match Thread - Wednesday 11th Dec

    Never turned up last year. Bogey ground. So many bad results in the past. Real test even though they have lost a lot of good players and seem to draw a lot of games. Corberan is a great manager and there is a strong rumour he will go to Wolves..

    The EFL show said it was a foul. They are unbiased.

    We are Coventry City. Lose when you expect a win and win when you expect to lose.

    Rub of the green perhaps?

    Get ready for a contrary set of observations. I don't believe in the myth that luck evens out over a season or that ref decisions even out either. As much as I am a Robins fan, I thought the stars had aligned for him at the start of this season when we played Stoke away with half their team out...

    The goalkeepers

    Shit performance but had no chance with the back pass. The second was a total fluke. If that had not gone in, Robins may still be here.

    Match Thread Millwall FC - Coventry City Match Thread - Saturday 7th Dec

    Though the quoted price to Burnley was £7 million. His major injury would have knocked quite a bit off that, as he was never quite the same player, to date. Don't think he would have moved if we had offered him a contract when he first came back from injury. Robins wanted him to stay. A free...

    Transfer Rumour Kai Wagner

    Any Recruitment Officer worth their position should listen to fan recommendations on the basis that most would be immediately discounted, a few they already know about and the odd gem that has gone under the radar. Some fans know sweet FA but others are incredibly knowledgeable particularly if...

    Non-Disclosure of Injuries

    We are a transparent club. Doug King said so. Loved that Andy Turner said King hadn't spoken to him in 2 years and today wrote King snapped at him when he asked about a Director of Football. No love lost there then. Also hilarious was that King claimed credit for 22k season tickets and a cup...
