    WC of Coventry City Kits (Group C)

    In the early years of sponsorship (Liverpool hitachi etc) clubs had to wear shirts without the sponsor name for Tv games. The big T design in our kit (which we made ourselves after leaving Admiral) was just incorporating the Talbot logo into the kit. The TV companies saw right through it and...

    Transfer Rumour 25/26 Summer Transfer Window

    He had a pretty unhappy loan there before us. Frozen out by Alex Neill and publicly slated for not being able to cope with long balls over his head. Pretty poor management of a teenager in my book but it may have left scars on both sides.

    Our famous superfan

    Grew up a Man Utd fan but came to a few Cov games with his manager and decided he was a skyBlue. I quite like the fact that someone came to see us and was swept up in the atmosphere. Has consistently stuck to this story ever since it was first aired in 2018-19. I don’t see what the problem...

    Saw one of those “leaked lists” yesterday. It had us at home to Bham on the Friday night. Still can’t work out if that would be a dream or a nightmare start

    Transfer Rumour 25/26 Summer Transfer Window

    The only incorrect thing I said was that Bassette hadn’t been picked for the Belgian U21s since. He has played twice since and even started and scored in their March game vs Andorra. Apologies for my sloppy error. For the details of his full international debut though I was right. He was...

    End of season award party?

    Towards the end of July. Hopefully just after the second leg of the Anglo-Scottish Cup Winners Cup of 1987-8 vs St Mirren. https://www.ccfc.co.uk/news/2025/april/14/news--24-25-awards-to-be-held-later-in-summer/

    End of season award party?

    Crazily they postponed it until the late summer - giving all the winners the chance to be employed by a different club by the time it takes place.

    Transfer Rumour 25/26 Summer Transfer Window

    It’s possible he knows it but - somewhat like the apparent advice about applying yourself fully in training* - he might think it doesn’t apply to him. * I have no evidence for this assertion. Just thought I’d join the game.

    Transfer Rumour 25/26 Summer Transfer Window

    To call someone who was elevated from the u21 squad as they had an important qualifier that clashes with the full international game, and then played as a last minute substitute in a defeat vs Isreal - and who never touched the ball, and has not been near a full or u21 squad since, a Belgian...

    Item 25/26 Coventry Kit

    Platense are the Champions of Argentina for the first time in their history. Their club colours are white and brown. Their second kit always seems to be brown. Manufactured by Hummel for quite a few years now. https://www.footballkitarchive.com/ca-platense-2024-away-kit/222583/

    Championship thread 25/26!

    Wilder has been very good at Sheffield United in two separate spells. If they sack him after last season they need their heads examining. Seles is a good manager who was treated badly by poor owners at Reading and Hull, I’d be wary of joining another set of volatile bosses at Sheffield...

    Players who have played for us twice in their career (not loans) GO!

    Really? I know we bought him from NY Cosmos where he had been playing with Pele and Beckenbauer but I didnt realise we loaned him back. An awful lot of that team also decamped to Detroit Express in the summers between 1987-81 in a Jimmy Hill venture that cost us quite a bit.

    Josh Sargent

    Not scored for the USA national team since 2019. Fewer goals for them than Haji Wright but with a dozen or so more appearances. None of which actually matters as we won’t be in for him.

    Transfer Rumour 25/26 Summer Transfer Window

    In 2018-19! On the basis that he did well when last in a particular league we should resign Clarrie Bourton. Since then he’s scored 37 goals across six seasons. His attitude was an absolute disgrace at Everton (inc under Lampard). Anyway; the latest from the Liverpool Echo is that...

    Transfer Rumour 25/26 Summer Transfer Window

    Most of the “journalists” seem to be cosplaying students who once got a story placed in a regional paper and have been told they can mention the same paper in their byline if they keep sending traffic to the website.

    Transfer Rumour 25/26 Summer Transfer Window

    Am I the only one who is horrified by this suggestion? Been disruptive everywhere he’s been and is frankly not very good.
