    What team will be left?

    Sadly I have to agree any of the youngsters that have shown potential may well be sold. Bigi, Thomas, Christie and Clarke all out of the door to bring in some cash. Didn't the club already take a loan out against next season's ticket sales? I fear we are more like Luton than Southampton...

    What team will be left?

    Who's going to leave and who's out of contract? The loanee's going back first, but thanks to Nimley and Norwood both gave us options and a bit of bite at the end of the season. Clingan, Keogh, Cranie, Bell next out of the door. Then in will come the bids: Bigi will attract interest along...

    Council refuse to lower Ricoh rent.

    The rent is expensive and I suspect that there is a large profit margin built into the rent costs but surely the council would be better off with half the current rent rather than no income at all? The other option which I could SISU doing is approaching the Coventry RFC and ask how much to...

    another interesting read about CCFC

    I think there are numerous reasons why our attendance figures have shrunk so much and why the like of Norwich and Southampton didn't. In both of their cases they managed to take positive action off the pitch and that led to huge changes on the pitch in style of play and results - fans didn't...

    First Post....Coventry Heroes

    There's the usual names that spring to mind McGrath, Quinn, Konjic, Hadji, Nilsson, Keano, Dublin, etc But I thought George Boetang was immense for us when he first joined he played more senior players off the pitch and marked the like of Paul Ince out of games.

    The word is, 3 players on the way out.

    I think this could be close to the truth as SISU will take all that they can now as they don't plan to be here at the end of the season. Clingan has already stated that he's got one relegation on his cv and he doesn't want another one!

    To the apathetic ones...

    Reading between the lines SISU have made the decision to sell the club quite some time ago but know that they won't recoup their full investment in the sale. They aren't thinking about the club or the fans they are only watching the bottom line and trying to minimise their loses, they will...

    Thorn and Sisu

    It's hardly a surprise that Juke is being sold and lets face it there will be a couple of others yet that we'll see head out the door during January! SISU will take what ever cash they can recoup in this transfer window and then agree to sell the club. We won't but anybody but load a couple...

    Will we stay up this season?

    Depends entirely on what happens in January - you still have to have faith that if things change at the top we might be able to strengthen. If more players leave which I suspect will be the case then we are doomed I tell you, doomed!!!!!!

    FAO the ‘Thorn is a miracle worker’ lot on here

    We are the only team in the league without a loan player! Yes I believe we have one of the weakest teams in the league and one of the least experienced managers and together that doesn't make for success. Doncaster are now in talks with Zenden!

    FAO the ‘Thorn is a miracle worker’ lot on here

    There is no right man for this Job!!!!!!!! I would say it's a poisoned chalice but SISU have sold the chalice and its more like trying to hold liquid in your cupped hands. The resources you had at the beginning are trickling through your fingers leaving you trying to balnce the little you have...

    i will be told! says Thorn

    From A.T.'s comments, Juke will be off this week and there's nothing he can do to stop that happening as he has no athority beyond that of managing what he is allowed to have. How can a manager motivate a team when his own motivation must be rock bottom due to the way he is treated. I just...

    That day has come

    I know exactly what you mean...... Each day you hope to hear something, just a glimmer of hope that something is happening at the club that is positive but there's nothing. Instead you read about clubs tracking what's left of team - Southampton trying to sign Juke - its like the vultures...

    Doncaster Sign Diouf

    The last thing we need is clubs around us signing decent players, and Diouf will be good in the Championship. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/15521985.stm

    Has Thorn Gone?

    A mate made a bet with at the begging of the season that Oggy would be manager by the end of the currnet season. :thinking about: I laughed and said no way but maybe he's going to take a tenner off me yet?

    I Thought Hoofroyd was Back Last Night

    We were scared of the Ipswich midfield last night and most of the game we played the long ball trying to miss out the midfield. Baker and Clingan were hardly in the match, Birgi is much more comfortable in the middle of the park. I can't undertsand why we are playing Cody if he isn't fit, the...

    Cyrus Christie

    Cyrus continues to improve with each match and his strength and delivery in to the box has been very impressive - I suspect the scouts at our games are just as much watching him as Gael if not more so - the lad has a big future ahead of him. Need to sort out his contract very quickly!

    Carl Baker - Derby Goal

    I must admit Baker did take his goal very well and came in to the game much more in the second half but I though his first hald perfomance was questionable and his passing was particularly poor giving the ball away numerous times. There again reading about his family issues and him visitng his...
