    Coventry City Council have Failed CCFC

    SISU bought the club in Dec 2007 only 2 and a bit seasons into the Ricoh move, Paul Fletcher and Co had made it clear to ACL that the club's finances just weren't sustainable, I'm sure that had SISU not come into the game then ACL would have re-negotiated but the arrrival of the hedge fund...

    brentford away anyone ???

    A new ground to add to the list as well as a compact terrace should be a good atmosphere, hopefully our form / confidence will have returned by then.

    Walsall Thread

    Walsall away - what an atmosphere, really enjoyed that apart fromn the train journey home took ages waiting for the train at Bescott. Walsall are quite an attacking side and may leave gaps for callum to take advantage. Think we may sneak it.

    I think Brian knows his stuff as if you don't concede but score you will win. - Thanks Brian. Earlier in the season we were missing chances now we are not creating many, its not good.

    Walsall Thread

    Elvis likes his stats, on CWR this morning we have conceded the greatest number of chances on goal throughout the whole division, I knew we were poor in defence but not that poor. First half against Tranmere for a poor team that had just too many chances wasn't convinced by our full backs...

    No Christie = Clean Sheet

    Christie has been great but recently and especially at Tranmere he looked uninterested / tired a rest may allow him to return full of drive. I think the tactic of 2 attacking full backs can work but need a decent holding midfield to provide cover when the full backs are so far forward. With...

    No Christie = Clean Sheet

    Only seen the team play 9 times this season, 6 away and 3 on TV. Chrisitie against Shrewsbury away earlier in the season was magnificent was our main attacking outlet, Tranmere last week awful ineffective going forward and then defensively gave up tackling and tracking back and was subbed...

    anti Pressley on CWR....

    I think this comment maybe a bit outside the scope of a discussion on elvis. I will stress again that he is a good manager at the right club, most clubs are fairly normal we at this point in time are a basket case. Not sure who the right type of manager is. now is Elvis to blame for so many...

    anti Pressley on CWR....

    I think Elvis is a good manager but not sure the squad he has assembled can battle, Bristol city result is evidence of this but notts county tranmere etc..were awful. Carlo ancellotti is a great manager but Tony Pulis is a more suitable appointment for the Palace job. My concern is that Elvis...

    anti Pressley on CWR....

    Elvis can do a job at a stable club ie develop the youth players whilst making good permanent signings to complement. We are not a stable club, what players has Elvis brought in that can be considered good signings. It's been a revolving door with strikers etc.. the only permanent signings...

    Good article on Leon

    Clarke cost us nothing when fit he was superb, scored goals linked the play with his physical strength, we struggled when he got injured towards the back end of last season, we struggled since he left, we pocketed a load of cash, he's gone to a bigger club, with more potential and who doubt pay...

    Maths

    Very optimistic that we will still be in league 1 by the time a fantasy stadium is built. This summer's transfers will be a challenge. Expect us to lose quite a few and struggle to recruit decent permanent signings will be long term loans from premiership clubs.

    Breaking news: Stadium size increased

    I must admit those stadium pictures do look nice (would look better with some of the topless waitresses as suggested by others. Reality check its 7 months since the decision to go to sixfieldsl and the only development has been these pictures and a load of deluded city fans on an ego trip being...

    Just went to add this

    Although cody had a disappointing season when we were relegated he has scored 1 in 2 at Gillingham since he left us. The relegation squad lacked pace throughout, Sheffers and Platt being prime examples and Clingan Hussey and Bell were just terrible players in that final season. Nimley won a...
