    Kevin Kyle on Radio 5 this morning

    He was commenting on Sunderlands game tonight. He was possibly the worst purchase in all my time following Cov, worst of all so many fans knew he would be bad. Can't believe Radio 5 think that his opinions are worth broadcasting

    Ticket prices - a huge gamble by the financially prudent SISU

    The price inelasticity comment is that I don't think price is the main consideration when committing to a ST- assuming that the prices aren't ridiculously expensive or cheap, IMO the increase won't put that many ST holders off renewing, but will lead to smaller crowds but not significantly...

    Oldham Match Thread

    Todays line up I could be wrong but aren't we a bit on the short side especially with Vince in the centre of defence. Hunt AA Ruben Thomas Fleck - not the biggest ok when with the ball could be a struggle defending set pieces.

    Ticket prices - a huge gamble by the financially prudent SISU

    If Conor Thomas is on such a high reported salary it does distort our budget, whilst it is clearly a cost that needs to be included, it is a deadwood cost from the championship and possibly teams like Barnsley have a few in their squad as well. Could be a SISU bluff, we may be spending big but...

    Bury threw a load of money at their team this year.

    Ticket prices - a huge gamble by the financially prudent SISU

    That's how I feel, I just felt the need to challenge the cash neutral mantra by SISU - by accepting this we are allowing them to abdicate their responsibility for creating this mid-table third division team. We deserve a better budget Living in Coventry I am watching our fanbase stagnate over...

    Ticket prices - a huge gamble by the financially prudent SISU

    Do you not think our circumstances are exceptional, accept the point about not having a god given right for wealthy backers but with WASPS sniffing around 15 seasons of misery, the post- Sixfields fall out an owner who seems to pride themselves with their cash neutral stance, we as fans deserve...

    Ticket prices - a huge gamble by the financially prudent SISU

    But my point is they are responsible for our demise, they were prepared to exile us to Northampton, financial suicide when it suited their (not CCFC's) aims but now there mantra is financial prudence which justifies lack of investment and ensures we are more likely than not to be in this...

    Ticket prices - a huge gamble by the financially prudent SISU

    From a financial perspective the increase in ST prices should ordinarily increase gate receipts this season. If we are successful increased crowds at higher prices, if we are less so there will be smaller crowds but at higher ticket prices. I don't think that prices alone will reduce our...

    Fleck telling it like it is

    I expect TM to address the lack of physicality in the side, we were too vulnerable at set pieces. Expect this may lead to a compromise in our playing style less slick going forward. Also expect a big bugger up front but ublike MAF a goal scorer such as Henderson in a former life. I think...

    Fleck telling it like it is

    Need to also consider the squad he inherited and the substantial rebuild required, he didn't get it right in January but I'm prepared to give him another year.

    First Game of the 2016/17 Season Not at Home?

    Benfica was the first time I saw Garry McAllister playing for us, we were smashed 7-2, we were simply outclassed.

    Fleck telling it like it is

    There lies my problem with him over his 4 season not enough shots - 8 goals is a poor total

    It could have been us

    My biggest gripe on all this is the difference in the 2 sides elected (unpaid) labour councillors representing CCC v hedge fund / Private equity. Not saying one is better or worse but their motivations made a conflict almost inevitable, CCC didn't want to be seen to be conceding (potiticians...

    half and half Cov/leicester scarves

    Couldn't have put it better myself, have a long journey to work and spend the time swapping radio stations avoiding all mention of Leicester. Always hate them always will never that bothered by Villa
