Interesting words from Robins in the Daily Mail today: 'This is a magnificent football club,' he said, 'Coventry is a club that was in the top-flight when I was growing up and wouldn't be out of place should we return there. 'This is a job to relish. I'm not surprised at what I have...

Someone talking about Stoke on the Cov board got me looking at Stoke's wiki page and I came across a mention of the Burnden Park disaster. It was a long time before I was born and I don't recall hearing about this before. It sounds terrible. Not only were 33 killed and hundreds injured, but "The...

Did anyone else just see Oscar's second goal? Magic!

If the Daily Mail has got the shortlist right, which one would you prefer as the new Coventry City manager?

I wonder if Cov considered Jose Baxter over the summer. Once dubbed "the new Wayne Rooney" apparently... Turned down a new contract at Everton in search of first team football and now been invited to train with Oldham, it says here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/19522021 Can only...

Two sets up in the US Open final. C'mon Andy!

Would it be fair to say that people tend to give Reece Brown more praise when he plays at centre back and more criticism when he plays elsewhere? I thought he had a reasonably solid game last night at centre back and it's left me wondering if the issue is one of marketing. We've been told he can...

Anyone know why Richard Wood was not in the team tonight? I'm not complaining about the performance of his replacements, just wondering where he was.

I'm going to throw a new name out there for the manager position, that of Derek Adams. Who he? He be the manager of Ross County, who beat us 1-0 pre-season. Why him? He has over seen been at the helm for two promotions (albeit one in part due to a league restructuring) and a Scottish Cup...

Tim Fisher gave away an interesting nugget of information in his radio interview this morning. Paraphrasing, he said our rent was 10 to 12 times what it should be for a League 1 club. That suggests Sisu only want to pay £100,000 to £120,000 a year, which would explain why they rejected the...

Can any computer whizzes out there help me? My laptop won't connect to the Internet. It says it can recognises the modem, but can't connect to the Internet beyond it. But... 1. My iPad, which I'm typing this on, is connecting to the Internet without a problem. 2. When I ping my router's ip...

Here's the first part of what looks like an interesting run down of the teams in the division from a fan of a club which has a bit more experience in it. The assessment of our team seemed fairly well informed - but I was a bit shocked to see us tipped for first! :o Unrealistic or are too many...

Good to see a statue is being erected in honour of big Cyrille, Laurier Cunningham and Brendon Batson http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-birmingham-19077873

http://aggbot.com/Coventry-City-News/694/article/17466204 Coventry midfielder Carl Baker revealed boss Andy Thorn was furious with the players after their 4-1 pre-season defeat at Wrexham. Baker, 29, played the full 90 minutes and his deep disappointment at the display was matched by his...

Hopefully SW88 makes it to the right ground to bring us updates from today's game! :D Apparently it's not taking place at Ross County's own home ground: http://ow.ly/ckwpE

It's gone a bit quiet in this corner of the forum recently and that's no bad thing as it means SISU for once don't seem to be ripping the heart out of this club. Maybe SISU have decided to stick with us for now and sanctioned Fisher to pursue a strategy? I might be in the realms of divining tea...

The Beeb headlines today suggest takeovers for Forest, Watford and Port Vale, plus investment in Leeds. There's money and interest in football out there. Is Sisu not looking for investment or is no one willing to go anywhere near us?

I see Chris Kirkland is off to Sheffield Wednesday. He'll be a good signing for them - if he can stay fit! I hope, for his sake, he can finally shake the injury monkey off his back.

Looks like Darlington are leaving their Arena. Based on what the following article says they were paying by my calculations £130,000 a year with an average attendance of 2,200 - and can't afford it. Cov's average attendance is about 7 times greater but we pay nearly 10 times as much. Maybe we...
