    Coventry Evening Telegraph.

    It got very personal and there was no doubt pleasure within the Higgs and CCC camps and stitching up SISU - but at such a huge cost to the future of the club.

    Coventry Evening Telegraph.

    Sorry I forgot you were one of the small minority that went to Sixfields supporting the SISU bluff and look where we are now with those naughty rugger buggers and the filthy council conspiring against us, we should have some more court cases to promote the club, if we can't do it through positve...

    Coventry Evening Telegraph.

    I don't think WASPS could have continued to compete as a top premiership club had they stayed at Adams Park yes they would have survived as a club, but they couldn't afford a move to London or get as good a deal as at the Ricoh so maybe that's more spin but their fans have bought it.

    Coventry Evening Telegraph.

    But PR can only do so much, if we had Max Clifford Saatchi & Saatchi all pitching in, CET on board with CCC, it would still be our performances on the pitch that will lead to bigger crowds. The real off field activities that count is what the fans perceive the club to be doing and without...

    Coventry Evening Telegraph.

    Not sure what's so ridulous in any of that, are there WASPS at ~WASPS away games holding up bammers asking the club to return or marches in High Wycombe to the council offices demanding the club to return. Did only a minority of fans go to Sixfields Was Sixfields a move that was aimed at the...

    Coventry Evening Telegraph.

    WASPS moved to Cov, as part of a survival strategy for their club, SISU moved us to Northampton to try to distress ACL & CCC, it was for personal/ spiteful reasons and SISU business interests not for the long-term strategic benefit of CCFC. The majority of the WASPS fans supported the move, the...

    Coventry Evening Telegraph.

    WASPS are better at their marketing than we are currently, WASPS (the new boys in town) seem more committed to the area than our current owners. I hate the whole idea of WASPS owning our stadium but the bitching that goes on here is pathetic. We need to create our own destiny now rather than...

    Does anybody.....

    I know a few season ticket holders from the championship days with WASPS STs but don't even watch Cov now. Where we have lost a lot is the floating fan 2/3 games a year, definitely chossing WASPS at Xnas over CCFC. Also think they will have a big impact on lost commercial revenue, WASPS...

    Mowbray, RCC and Defending

    "Mowbray: Best manager we have had in years, injuries have forced us to draft in loads of old, slow, boring players which don't fit our side" Not sure anyone forced Mowbray to sign the crap that he did.

    Bigi

    When Bigi came on against Gillingham is was one of the worst performances I have ever seen from a professional footballer. His first touch, tackling and passing - it was hard to distinguish between them as wasn't clear, he was a better player than that when he left us in 2012, I'd be wary about...

    Lameiras

    Started well against Fleetwood and then faded badly, looks very lightweight but will be one of our few attacking midfielders left for next season so need to use him more this season.

    Who to renew?

    We've had "operation premiership" fairly catchy project name, I think for next season it should be "operational what a waste of time and effort the previous season was and we need to completely rebuild our squad as none of our goalscorers, creative players are left and we haven't developed any...

    Long Term Plan

    I think top flight rugby is more of a cartel than Premiership football, rarely do new clubs join the Aviva Premiership. Hoping WASPS to fail seems to be our only hope.

    Long Term Plan

    Do SISU loose money or is it their investors or a combination of both. How much is thier reputational risk worth, ie after 8 years they have failed miserably, lost a load of money, it may be moe difficult for them to find new investors for their next venture. IMO will be here for another 2/3...

    Long Term Plan

    SISU will never build a new stadium, it is too large a capital investment which they may not recover when they eventually sell the club. I think they will keep it going at cost neutral hoping that: - receive compensation from the court cases - WASPS finances go belly up and can negotiate from a...

    time to call a spade a spade!

    The early season style was good on the eye but even when we were totally outplaying Barnsley, Southend, Crewe Chesterfield at home we were still just winning or drawing as we always looked vulnerable to concede. Team isn't physical enough and also lacks height. But I tend to think like a lot...

    Fleck Tonight

    Fleck lacks pace, is small so can't be relied on to win a header, has scored 7 goals for us in 148 games, not a great tackler, so when his passing game is off he is liability. I agree with an earlier poster "flatters to deceive" - he is 24 years old, if there was potential we would have seen it...

    Worst CCFC Team - Manager

    Can't defend Butcher especially his tretment of Regis & Peake, but 90/91 his first season did ok in the end after a slow start Phil Neal had been a managerat Bolton before as well as Assistant England Manager and assistant to Bobby Gould, hardly his first job in management. Don Mackay - had...
