Those who fail to learn from history repeat the same mistakes time after time.

Forgot about Jimmy Hill wanting a long-term contract to stay. I think we would have been a major force if he had stayed. We were the best supported club in the Midlands at the time and really going places. Robbins not employing Clough (who said we were a bigger club than Derby who had just won...

Been thinking of those crucial moments where it all went wrong for the City with decisions that were in the clubs control,not including the current SISU disaster. Assuming the cup win in 1987 was the high point and it was more or less downhill from there. The chronology may be a bit off, but...

Oops should not have put we should have been 3 down at half time in the quote reply - keyboard dyslexia rules ko.

Absolutely agree. The only time we have looked half decent was when we were forced to attack against Peterborough. Football is an entertainment business and if you dont entertain at home gates will keep falling. The defences in this league are mistake prone and if you attack them you have a...

To some of these replies. I was just mentioning a few things I had read in an old Guardian Sports supplement. I was interested in peoples take on Sturridge's comments which I thought were valid. Pressley said he took his playing style (in the first half of the season) from Bayern. If you see...

Just caught up on an old article about Sturridge. Said he left Villa for Coventry because Villa wanted him to play midfield. Left Coventry for Man City because Coventry were playing him two years ahead against 13 year olds when he was 11 and he was getting lumps kicked out of him. Says football...

Christie has been off form lately. He is so crap that there will be several clubs from higher divisions vying for his signature next season. Just like Bigi was crap, Turner was crap, Cork was crap and the player in the reserves was so much better. Willis is good, Phillips may be, but if you...

My great grandfather, grandfather, father, me, my son and daughters all support Coventry City. My brother and his sons support the City. My brothers father in law took his grandson to Liverpool the other week and we have lost him forever. Thanks Shitzu you have broken our continuity. I remember...

As before, rejections of planning permissions can be overruled by the current government. See Tesco, Sainsbury etc with their endless reapplications. Don't underestimate Sisus determination if they want to build a stadium. Would SISU ignore local objections...I think so. The retailers keep...

Whilst I am really glad that the Ricoh is expanding its off the field activities, we will have to wait for the financial report on how well or badly they are doing. I really hope the Ricoh can make a profit without a sports franchise, but from an article recently in the Guardian about the...

I really think you already have your wish. Our gates last year were about 11k average. As I have said before, take out the free tickets that players staff etc dosh out, take out everyone who breathes within the ground counted as an attendee, take out the neutrals who go in the Coventry end and...

The Clive (I cant remember what team we're playing) Eakin Arena

I think you may be right about Seppala getting even. ACL getting stronger, I am not so sure. Have you been to the Ricoh lately? The notices show the last large event was in August. It is interesting that when all the protests were going on in Brazil about the new stadiums it came out that a...

Haven't a clue and this may be bullshit but my brother knows a guy who has some dealings with SISU who says Joy Seppala told him it was near Warwick University as their site of choice. My own opinion is that I dont doubt plan A is to get the Ricoh on the cheap, but I think there are people who...

This government have thrown out a lot of greenfield protection and Odium/Shitzu would follow an appeal process that has been perfected by the likes of Tesco where they keep applying until they get what they want. Is there 60 acres the other side of Warwick Uni currently owned by the university...

Jordan Clarke has always been a great footballer absolutely no question about that. I've said previously he needed to get his head together and toughen up. First 5 games or so he looked culpable to the long ball. He has sorted that out and has stopped being bullied. With his skill and vision if...

If this is directed to me or any other questions I really have no more info other than I trust the guy who told me that it is Warwick.

I'll be honest I only got the bare bones of what I said. HS2 does go near there I guess. Cant speculate on what I dont know.
