I was lucky enough to go over to the states 18 months ago and visit a number of professional US sports clubs, including the CEO of Detroit City. Brilliant football club, stick to their values (not being taken over by the big bucks), a real F**k You attitude but do great things for the city. A...

My take as someone who was fairly close to it all when they arrived They have provided jobs They have - but they have also cost them. They’ve made a number of redundancies since they came as things haven’t worked out as they’d planned and there is also little doubt the impact of not having...

See comment above ref. Waggott. One thing Robins said when he came back was about no scouting structure. Who do people think were unearthing gems like Denzel Slager - the manager? I am sure it was Waggott driving player recruitment

I think Waggott had more of an influence in transfers than people think and had a habit of playing ‘football manager’. Lots on here called him a Football Man (whatever that means), but actually his background was as a teacher and in further education. Think he got a little carried away with his...

Football (and in particular English football) community work is held up internationally as best practice in sport and CSR. Rugby community work copies what football does but generally 5-10 years after football has already done it. Google Kickz and Hitz for a case in point.

Wasps community work compared to SBitC is absolute crap. I keep a close eye on it and wasps idea of community work is turning up to schools with that stupid fucking wasp mascot doing shit dances. They bury time capsules with their mates at the council, they are at the opening of an envelope...

They are absolutely ridiculous. Makes me laugh how they call Coventry a shithole. Obviously none of them can actually live in Sunderland - what a dump that place is. I wasn’t at the game today, so can’t comment, but it appears that they have forgotten there were two teams there not really trying...

Bit late to the party, but what an absolute joy. Hopefully those council tw@s and all others who have jumped blindly in to bed with these tossers feel a little sheepish now. Just a shame none of them are held to account in any way. The wasps comment from Dai Young was about as wooley as you can...

Mowbray - yes, although his good period lasted from March to December 2015. Don’t get me wrong, that was a great period, but in football terms it lasted 6 months if a season. Downhill after that and ended up getting sacked. Return to the Ricoh? The club had no choice - let’s not put that all...

Much of what Pressley talked about in the Telegraph about transfers was down to SW. He was basically playing Football Manager with the club overseeing the transfers of crap players. I remember lots of people on here bigging him up as ‘a football man’. He wasn’t, his background was teaching. He...

I have a friend who works in a school in Brum & they are handing out freebies over there. Don’t seem to have much of a long-term approach to fan engagement and retention other than just get people through the door.

Absolute non-story. Not sure why there are a couple of negative comments about Mark Hornby. He’s been caught up in this chancers games through no fault of his own. He is Coventry through and through and works his nuts off -unappreciated for the most part. Some people assume that because he...

It also goes to show you how far we’ve already dropped when I’m talking about beating bloody gillingham when not that long ago it would have been Chelsea, Liverpool etc. Heartbreaking shame

Unfortunately this just goes to show that the club is rotten to the core. Morale amongst staff, coaches and players must be as low as it’s ever been. Around two years ago we had 17k when we beat Gillingham I think who were top of league one at the time and we hammered them. We are now down to...

Absolute joke of a newspaper and joke journalists like that pecker Gilbert

Forest in March 1986. 0-0 was a sign of things to come... Should have known better than to come back.

IMHO fan involvement is a nightmare. I know someone involved with Portsmouth and that is an absolute shambles and mess at the moment with a wealthy local man wanting to buy a load of shares but some fans involved not wanting to sell because they'll lose their ego trip-position. There is all...

He went quiet for a bit after he was made to look a tw@t, then a couple of weeks later comes back all guns blazing. Prize c0ck but to be fair, we all fan the flames by talking about him

Feel a little for her - put in a very difficult position through her tenure by the clubs lack of communication. She didn't deserve personal abuse, but then again regularly commented about the club on her personal twitter, so did expose herself to it in a way. Seems the younger generation of...

It just seems to me Simon that you just can't help yourself. You say that you engage sensibly when other do the same, but can you not see how your social media antics and basically saying there are a load of c**ts on here makes people think you're a dick? I'd love to see some examples of where...
