    I just tried to login using my regular email and password but was not able to do so. I am wonder if this is because I am overseas and they haven't yet set up the platform for overseas subscribers. Have any other overseas fans experienced this problem? I have emailed Billie at the club to try and...

    Putting things into perspective

    So our current plight got me wondering whether this is in fact our worst ever season. The number of games played varies over the years so to make an apple-to-apples comparison I calculated the number of points earned per game for each season since 1919-20. So far this is statistically the worst...

    Cov fans are everywhere

    So tonight I'm watching a meaningless friendly in front of a small crowd between LA Galaxy and Portland Timbers. I met this young Cov fan complete with flag, scarf, and SISU out T shirt. After introducing myself his first question was "are you going to wembley?

    Peter Ramage

    Ramage has just signed for United Soccer League club Phoenix Rising. For those of you not familiar with the US scene, the USL is like the third division of the US leagues and the level of player quality is about the same as Coventry United (maybe even worse). What on earth were we doing when we...

    SISU's finances - the effect of CCFC?

    In 2007 SISU Capital bought CCFC. In 2007, SISU Capital reported turnover of GBP 25.4 million and an operating profit of GBP 15.9 million. Eight years later in 2015 SISU Capital reported turnover of GBP 1.1 million and an operating loss of GBP 0.3 million. I don't think it will be long before...

    When SISU leave ....

    Will this forum continue after SISU leave? SISU bought the club in Dec 2007 and this forum started up just two months later. Coincidence?

    Some financial matters

    I found a couple of interesting things at Companies House today: 1. As well as being a director of Otium, Mark Venus is also a director of Dedham Vale Homes Ltd whose business is "Development of building projects". Does this have any connection with the plans to sell off Ryton for housing? I...

    Wages

    Research has shown that the amount a club spends on players wages is the main determinant of where a team finishes in the league. So I thought it would be interesting to compare how much the clubs in this year's L1 have been spending on wages in the recent past. There are some caveats in the...

    "We'll hire the best man we believe is best for the role and can take this club forward. But we need to make it clear we are not in a financial position to be able to hire manager who wants to bring in his own coaching staff. The manager will have to come in and work with Richard Shaw, Lee...

    Bonuses - another perspective

    I have been quite surprised by the reactions of some fans to the bonus issue. So here are my thoughts. 1. The "spin" from Fisher is that the previous bonus system (1,000 for each match appearance, 1,000 for each win) rewarded failure. I disagree. The bonus for match appearance is not a bonus...

    The alternative CT story. "John Clarke admits...

    COVENTRY CITY'S vice chairman John Clarke has shouldered his share of the blame for Coventry City’s slump into League One. Last March, the millionaire who apparently has not invested any of his own money in the club sat alongside Ken Dulalley, Len “text a sub” Brody, Paul “no clout” Clouting...

    Cov Mad are claiming that Ms Weai Hunt Yap is the Hong Kong investor interested in the club. http://www.coventrycity-mad.co.uk/news/tmnw/take_over_talks_still_going_on_723177/index.shtml Having lived in Hong Kong for 8 years, I have heard of most of the rich people who live there and her...

    Len Brody talks crap - official

    So Len has told the telegraph that money has very little to do with whether a club goes down. Well, one of the brightest economists in the UK - Stefan Szymanski - would beg to differ on that point. He has used very large sample data for more than 20 years to examine the correlation between...

    Ken Dulieu's past history

    There are some shocking revelations in the article below regarding Ken's role at Vantis and Southampton. Worryingly, some of the things that went on in those companies seem to correspond with what he is doing at CCFC. For example, charging extortionate rates for 8 days work per month, shifting...

    Question for Ken Dulieu

    He was on the radio the other week patronising the fans with comments like "Would you accept a bid of one pound for your house?" Well let's consider extending the analogy that he chose. "Would you go running to The Sun newspaper with a written offer from someone who expressed an interest in...

    Two scenarios

    Scenario #1 GH and the rest of the bidders are incompetent fools who had no idea about the conflict of interest arising from Sam Allardyce's directorship. Scenario #2 GH and the rest of the bidders were intending to rectify the problem arising from Sam Allardyce's directorship in the event...
