    Spot The Odd One Out!

    Just been browsing through the sports update pages and had a read through the transfer activities for the Championship and its not hard to spot which team is the odd one out. http://www.skysports.com/football/transfers/0,20367,11687__201107,00.html The sad thing is I can't see this getting...

    Andy Thorn favourite for the chop

    Let's face it our recent history for sacking managers isn't good! Chances are the season is going to be very tough with the squad we have and the easist scape-goat will be Andy Thorn - but there again if they sack him there's nobody left to replace him with as no replacements have been made ther...

    Leeds make bid for Clingan

    Let's face it the reason a player is unhappy is the way the football club is being managed!!!! If that excuse is banded around then it re-enforces what we all think is happening and SISU are just treading water until we sink!

    Leeds make bid for Clingan

    How things change!!!!! I use to enjoy this time not so long ago the excitiment of which new players we would sign - yes we've always sold some but there's always been a couple of decent signings to balance it or indeed make the team better. Damn that seems like the distant past!! Now I can...

    Leeds make bid for Clingan

    It's not just the player leaving that would be a factor if Clingan did go to Leeds - its the hole that would be left behind and the demotivational effect on the squad! Would the cash gained from a sale be re-invested in players - we all know that most likely we would buy cheaply and the...

    Compared to last season...

    I hope your right Rev! I do believe that he has the talent to succeed and he is a big confidence player. His touch is definitly the best in the team now and has the vision to pick a pass. I would play him alongside Juke and drop Sheffers back to midfield.

    Compared to last season...

    I'm hoping the Eastwood might be the big surprise of the season, with Thorn's management skills and work ethics he might bring out the striker that use to exist!! Then I'll wake up from dream state :D

    Compared to last season...

    Juke is far from the finsihed article he has huge potential I think but the concern is he had an experienced striker next to him last season and he definitely benefitted from that! Without an experienced striker next to him he'll either flourish or go back to the headless chicken. He's not a 20...

    Compared to last season...

    I have confidence in Thorn's ability as a manager and he definitely had the team playing better football at the end of last season. The noises coming form the squad are that he's an excellent man manager and he will get the best out of players. The starting first 11 are also a half decent team...

    SISU will be lucky to get a 25% of their investment back if they enter Admin - there's nothing left to sell. Any new owner will want to put their investment into the purchase of the RICOH and not taking on a debt for ..... well for the last few seasons. It's easy to see how it's deadlock at...

    I'd rather admin than another SISU consortium taking over.....

    Admin or takeover will make little difference - without owning the ground we will end up in the same situation again and again as there isn't enough income to sustain the club!! Negative part of Admin will be the points deduction and another transfer embargo. If we enter Admin it won't take...

    SISU are playing roulette with the club, they don't care about the Coventry as a club they are just looking for a way to get some of their investment back. They'll either get some investment back or take the club down as they have nothing to lose! The short term bridging loans that have come to...

    Roll on Tuesday then and lets see what position the club will be in by this time next week! There will be legal reasons why Snozz can't say more then he is at present its a little bit different to saying we're going to sign a player and then not say who. Sounds like it could be an interesting...

    Reality check

    Personally I think it works the other way a great performance on the pitch will increase the volume in the stadium. All supporters go to a match to cheer on their team and it only takes a little spark from a player on the pitch to ignite the crowd but when you watch poor perfomances and even the...

    Reality check

    Surely getting behind the team and supporting them but also having a reality check and keeping expectations in check are totally different? Just because Egastap thinks we're going to struggle to score enough doesn't mean he isn't behind the team and wanting the club to succeed. I'm firmly in...

    A Few Points

    If the players are free agents such as Murphy they can sign now but if it involves a transfer fee it won't go through until the tranfer window opens again. On the bright side at least its stopping more players leaving :facepalm:

    Thorn confirms Westwood departure (official)

    Still convinced the Marlon verbal was more to do with the Kit Launch being the same day - trust no one! :p

    Thorn confirms Westwood departure (official)

    Good Luck Westy But have to agree it would be great to the signing of Murphy or Dunn sooner rather than later. Trying hard to remember the last bit of really good positive news we had relating to the club?:confused:

    Thorn - I won't let Gunner leave without a fight.

    Well I for one hope Thorn does pursuade him to stay. I think Thorn has the man manage skills to develop Gunnar into his full potential and he's shown glimpses of what he is capable of achieving. Gunnar and Clingan has the potetntial be a great partnership in the middle of the park we could do...

    Am I Alone

    Since relegation we have witnessed the gradual demise of our beloved club - the huge debt that we had built up in the last few years in the Premier league and the terrible financial management really has crippled the club. The biggest obstacle we have is not owning our on ground - the total...
