Maybe I’ve missed something as usual. But I can’t see that anything has changed since the article yesterday, which said Nazon had returned to Wolves following the end of his spell with us, but was going to go back out on loan and we were still interested?

Nope, Maddison always had more ability but was just more lightweight. Don’t know much about what he’s done this season, but I wouldn’t be the slightest bit surprised if he ended up at a very big club. Couldn’t believe it how some people were rubbing their hands at the money we were getting...

Yeah, apologies, I thought the quotes sounded a bit familiar! God, that's deceptive recycled journalism from Andy Turner, although to be fair I normally like his coverage of things. The bit where it says "Speaking last month" looks like a standalone paragraph, but I suspect you're right in...

It says City are understood to be continuing talks with Molineux chiefs about an extension. Robins: “I know their sporting director Kevin Thelwell really well and unless there’s a reason for them to move him on I think the appetite will be for him to stay with us. But, again, if a team from a...

Maybe I'm reading it differently, but to me it sounds fairly likely he'll stay with us. I like the player because he can sometimes do the unexpected, but I hardly think he's done so well here that higher-level clubs will be queuing up for him. Can only presume that if we lose him there are...

Sorry Nick, I saw this and tried to let it go but can’t. People saying CCFC can’t leave Coventry isn’t preaching, it’s arguing for the right thing in the matter that directly concerns us as City fans. What would Coventry City at the NEC or Bermuda Park be other than a franchise? We could be...

Regarding the banning of users, I can’t see the merit in it really, and where would the fun come from? Peeler’s awful grammar has had me grinning from ear to ear, given the way he was policing people’s punctuation the other day. Just let people say what they want, because everyone on here is...

I know what you mean, but the shades of grey could be illustrated by the NEC example. For me, the outskirts of Coventry is OK, the outskirts of Birmingham isn’t. So the NEC / Birmingham International is unequivocally not right, and surely nearly all Sky Blues fans would agree. When they build...

Could of been?! What an irony. Regarding the topic itself, you can't seriously be trying to pass over the quote in the Telegraph, which was "He added that the he saw Wasps as a real estate business 'with a rugby bit stuck on'". It may often look like I'm some kind of Wasps enthusiast, but in...

I used the NEC as an example because people on SBT have actually mentioned it as a viable place for CCFC. We’re not talking Meriden here, we’re talking the NEC, which most definitely isn’t on the outskirts of Coventry. It’s Birmingham. People endlessly trundle out the line “If you’re OK about...

Blimey, you’re not ruling out Coventry City playing on the outskirts of Birmingham? And the reaction of other fans wouldn’t matter, only whether it suited you to go? You’ve completely astonished me with that to be honest, after all the talk about the absolute principle of sports clubs not...

Let’s hypothetically say Fisher turns round and say he has a great plan to take us to the NEC (which seemed an outside possibility a while back, and which Grendel described as a perfect venue). In the club’s opinion securing CCFC in a new stadium is paramount. Some fans are persuaded by the...

Cannot agree with that. The move was at the expense of existing fans (who did far too little to oppose it, and some of whom were in favour), but to the benefit of a whole new set of people who have taken it on board and are enjoying it in larger numbers. They also did it for commercial gain of...

No, again fair comment. But the thing that makes me unwisely get drawn in, is the accusations of hypocrisy that get bandied about. The question is whether all moves (whether it be Wimbledon to MK, Wasps to Wycombe, CCFC to Northampton, Wasps to West Ham, Wasps to Coventry, or CCFC to...

Absolutely – if that had happened, CCFC fans and Wasps fans could have been staging sit-ins at the Ricoh, questions asked in Parliament, massive political pressure on CCC councillors etc. I would have been just as much on board as the next man, and with all that rumpus it might have been a...

It can get complicated though Nick. As an example, I think the Wimbledon move to MK was the most disgraceful thing in all my decades of following football, and I’m glad the Football League have taken steps to make sure it can’t happen again. I can’t think of a single Football League club that...

Totally disagree with this. OK I don’t get to all the games now, but every time I’ve seen Jones play his talent has been obvious, even when things aren’t going right for him. The skills are there in abundance, he’s quick and shows good commitment. I also think he’s very capable of playing...

It’s a fair point well made Nick, and I’m not going to argue :) But thankfully we’re not talking domestic violence here are we?

You’re right, people down south couldn’t really judge the effects of Sixfields – except by watching the unrelenting fury and resistance of our fans, which would have left them in no doubt. Equally, the best way I could judge the effects of their move to Coventry was through their reaction...

Are you Donald Trump? The Telegraph petition for SISU to sell up has something over 20,000, which according to you means that 270% of CCFC fans signed it. What kind of a ”fact” is that? Just like us at Wembley, when Wasps played big matches at Twickenham etc., didn’t they get tens of...
