    Mcsheffrey

    Arther Lightning used to have a fag while playing! lol! I liked McSheffrey - especially the season we had Dennis Wise. They had a really good partnership. Last season he just wasn't good enough though. He was in the side that went out the Premiership, he was in the side who went down to...

    Would this definitely not be a solution?

    Err.. mate - I haven't defended Sisu - ever! Is someone reading the big words to you because you don't seem to understand what people are saying, or what I'm saying. This idea is fundamentally to get Sisu out, so how is it defending them. I just included that I sympathise with those that think...

    Would this definitely not be a solution?

    What I'm getting from the responses is that it would be complicated to do this, but not impossible, and that people (like myself) are not on ACL's side either, but if we could be the first council/citizen owned club in the country the club will always stay here, we as a community will have a...

    Would this definitely not be a solution?

    Please don't think I'm thick for suggesting this, but I haven't seen it brought up yet - possibly for good reason, but you tell me. I hate Sisu equally to how much I hate ACL. However, like everybody I believe the club and Ricoh should go hand in hand. Couldn't ACL buy Coventry City Football...

    One way to get something done

    Another idea that hasn't been mentioned is how Northampton have welcomed Cov's money, but what if Coventry weren't so welcome there? What if Northampton didn't want us there anymore? They'd have to pay out our contract, and Sisu would have to look elsewhere. How would we legally get kicked out...

    England vs Scotland

    Great game. Would've liked to have seen a better scoreline for England though. I think the central defence was dogshit, and Gerrard looked past his best in open play; but great to see Welbeck playing well, Baines & Wilshire starting and Walcott playing in a more attacking role. Good formation at...

    New protest idea

    I think a lot of these ideas are much better than starving the club of money. We need to make sure we don't destroy our club in our attempts to get rid of the current owners, and we also need the club to look as big as it is to attract potential investors. My suggestions: -We all go to the Sky...

    Elvis the new Fergie?

    Did like the way we played last match, it was good exciting football. The old Kevin Keegan philosophy of they score one, you score one more. Elvis said as much in his post match interview, so it's good to have a style of our own to build from in the aftermath of Mark Robins' success, building on...

    Heartfelt message to those going to Sixfields

    I agree with all your points completely, I just came up with a different solution to you that's all. I just don't think long term it's going to benefit us to cut off our nose to spite our face. Sisu MUST leave, Coventry MUST be in Coventry - but I fear the NOPM campaign will kill the club as...

    Heartfelt message to those going to Sixfields

    I understand and sympathise completely - but despite matters off the pitch I'd be the first to complain if we lose all our decent players and don't buy anyone else because we don't have the money. I also don't want the club in so much debt that potential investers don't want to make an offer -...

    Haskell buys half Ricoh & CCFC rumour - Facebook

    I'd love to get him in. Don't care if he's more based around property. If he wants the arena first - fair play! The club's going to be easier to buy than part ownership in the arena, so it makes good business sense to cross that one off first - plus the arena is self-sufficient with profits...

    Will NOPM starve SISU out? I don't think it will

    A worry of mine - what goes first if we starve Sisu of our money? We know it won't be Sisu - they have the club as an asset of some value, so it wouldn't be in their interest to sell on the cheap after allegedly 'investing' quite a lot of money towards it - but it might be the staff and the...

    Haskell Deal

    If he bought CCFC without The Ricoh it would be another sinking ship and we'd go through all this again. CCFC are not sustainable in that venue at the rates they were expected to pay, as they got virtually no revenue back. Why would any businessman buy CCFC if they can't ammend those errors made...

    Yep - mate of mine works internally. We're talking tens of thousands.

    Fans arguing on ssn

    Think there could be a case of putting words in my mouth their Long John and quite a few contradictions, and what I'm doing about it is what I choose - not really any of your business as I don't really need backup from people like you who have to have everyone fit their mold.

    "Real" fans

    Nope, it would make you a minority. It's not for me to say who is and who isn't (what is widely regarded) as a real city fan - but in my view it's simple. It's a fan. If you're like my mate who was at the game today - a 36 year season ticket holder who couldn't bare not to see them play and...

    "Real" fans

    Real fans are from Madrid. Can we stop using the term 'real' fans now that I've cleared that one up? If you were at The Ricoh today, if you were at Sixfields today, if you were on a hill today, if you were listening to the match on BBC, or even trying to get an illegal live stream of the match...

    Fans arguing on ssn

    Yep - have been quite proud of fans up until this afternoon when they started trying to force their choices onto others. Coventry in Coventry, Sisu out, ACL for court, NOPM and all that I agree with - supporters telling other supporters what to do or what to think ... I don't. Passion is great...

    Attendance 2204!

    Why? For supporting in their own way? It's typical that once you're bored of moaning about Sisu and ACL, people start looking for someone new, until they feel they've been heard. Usually it's the manager they turn on at some point, but in our situation it's fans turning on fans. If you believe...

    IF (?) agreement is reached and we're back at the Ricoh...

    In truth noone can answer that apart from those directly involved, but where did all the cash for the unbelievably high rent go? Why didn't the Ricoh bring in ANY revenue for the club (the reason it was built)?
