    No Ambition

    not sure this is about ambition........ more about the realities of short term finance. In my opinion we are running on a shoestring and there is no more funding coming from the owners to do it. In that case cash out cannot equate to more than cash in. Only player in squad likely to draw in...

    madders gone

    Got to have the facilities for the Academy though it isn't just about the players. For instance Category 2 requires indoor training facilities. As I understood it the indoor facilities at the Higgs were worn out and needed replacing. Has that been settled, have we the finances to settle it if...

    madders gone

    You could argue that but the season isn't over yet NW Agree with you ..... we seem to be developing a lot of other teams players in L1 or easing down older careers. I know a lot of teams do it but somehow I would like to see more of our own. Question how secure is the Academy set up at CCFC...

    madders gone

    will be interesting to see if at the end of the season if Maddison not playing well and we are out of contention how the fans react to him. No doubt we can guess but the lad will not deserve it.... good luck to him, he has to look after his own career not the future of CCFC

    It certainly is Nick but most clubs seem to find a way to at least seem to move forward....... cant help but feel we find a way to develop inertia

    madders gone

    Surprised that this has happened now. Thought it would happen in the summer...... but not to Norwich. If it is £2m, then for a young lad who as yet has proven very little in L1 let alone higher, is a decent valuation. Comparing it to say Deli Ali is a bit of a stretch to be honest, that was...

    Mowbray Out

    Really cant believe getting rid of TM is being suggested. Performances haven't been great but we were picking up points. This is the bad spell, we have lost 3 on the bounce and still 5th. I think a little bit of success has gone to some heads, there always going to be a proper bad spell, all...

    Back to being the biggest club in Coventry?

    no problem with reasoned discussion like this Moff. Some seem to think I get everything right, I don't, and no reason why what I put should not be challenged just the same as anyone else :)

    Back to being the biggest club in Coventry?

    is this still going :facepalm: ................ and so far off the original OP Just to clear a few things & add the odd opinion (ie facts unless I say it is my opinion) a) does it really matter who is the biggest, it proves what exactly, and what is the agreed measurement, today, this week ...

    More CCC/Wasps/CCFC Angst

    Also from what I was told the Trust had offered to maintain the garden of remembrance ...... but then ACL jumped in to do it

    More CCC/Wasps/CCFC Angst

    Frankly amazed and very disappointed that something from CCFC, CRFC, Bees etc has not been included. Not acceptable at all. You would think that someone organising this would be sensitive to furore it was likely to create. Who chose the items ? If the items were chosen by the public or school...

    Are we treading old ground ?

    There is still 5 days to go ..... still time to do some business. I think it does point towards there not being that much in the kitty to play with even if they have flexed the budget, that's going to make deals harder to get over the line. Literally is "crowds funding" for anything we do

    An evening with TM

    So with no major events on at the Ricoh either side of the 16th February Evening with TM (checked their site) no matches for either CCFC or Wasps on the 20th or 21st you would kind of assume that there was indeed space to carry such an event at the Arena. Where they could get more people in etc...

    Should the Wasps Section Go?

    I would keep it where it is. I certainly wouldn't want to see the same level of bickering, from the few on that section, on the main forum. Whilst never losing my interest in CCFC I might lose some interest in SBT if that were to happen. Where it is I can largely ignore the pathetic...

    Funds from sisu

    can't help thinking that the CT have made/implied something of this that it isn't. Although it does help add to the positive mood of the fans generally The key is extra money will be released to pay wages for loans and out of contract players. That means it wont be all now, but month by month...

    Mcginnity passed away

    RIP MM It isn't about him any more is it. It is about the hurt and sadness of his family and loved ones that are left to carry on without a husband, father, brother, grand-dad, friend. Not making that hurt or sadness harder to bear, but easing their sorrow just a little.

    Bowie dead!

    a real music genius that continually moved in new directions breaking the ground for others. Few will ever have the music influence he had. There are two favouirite memories of him that will always make me smile. Firstly the nights down the Lanchester Polytechnic student bar (now Cov Uni) in...

    If we get promoted

    not sure forgive is the right word. In my opinion they made business decisions, many very badly, primarily aimed at benefiting their investors. CCFC is a bad investment for them nothing more, I do not sense any positive emotional connection to the team or indeed the fans. It was just business...

    Butts Park Arena is new home

    No official comment no ......... but haven't we been told that "sources" close to the club had confirmed this and that? In any case the CCC SHLAA is only an outline plan aimed at proving what could be done in respect of housing. Its not cast in stone and alternative usage might be possible...

    Back to being the biggest club in Coventry?

    Or turn it around the level of debt and preference shares are a big disincentive to anyone being interested in a takeover. The preference shares are also presently accruing rights to income/dividend at something like £9m pa whilst interest on loans is increasing the liabilities & losses That...
