    Arsenal Score Predictions

    I'm a bit more optimistic than most of you. I think we can score at least one goal and think there'll only be a goal in it with 10 minutes to go. We'll probably lose our legs in the last 10 minutes and Arsenal will then put it beyond doubt. Final score either 3-1 or 4-2. The sky blue lads...

    Your stories of meeting players (that no one else is interested in hearing).

    When I was in my final year at secondary school, I did a one week 'work experience' at Jewson in Nuneaton. A couple of days in, I served Trevor Peake on the till - I was well star stuck. Can't remember what he bought though. Also, last year Oggy pushed in front of me in a queue at a petrol...

    nuneaton say no

    They started saying one (or two - I forget) sites they were looking at would be outside the coventry boundary but actually closer to the city centre than the ricoh. So, they are either lying about talking to councils or their definition of 'Coventry area' is not what they have allowed us to...

    nuneaton say no

    But SISU have said before, and repeated in the latest CT article: "there is a great deal of work taking place including economic and community impact reports which have been requested by those authorities we are talking to." But they are talking to no-one. And no council has requested anything...

    nuneaton say no

    Nice one! Just in time for the forum. I'm guessing there are a few Cov fans working for N&B Council. :)

    SISU has ripped the heart out of 8,000 supporters.

    I think Nick is getting grilled too harshly. When I read his comments at first, I agreed wit them. Only after reading other comments about some elderly folk being reluctant to change routines that I understood a different viewpoint. But VOR is very active on this site and (mostly) comes up...

    CCFC in Parliament Today

    I've just listened to the whole thing and I'm really disappointed with the Minister's response. She seemed to focus her attention on the financial difficulties that clubs face up and down the country - as though Coventry's situation was just one of those things. But Coventry's situation is far...

    Parliamentary debate on football governance and CCFC

    Just checked the internet to find out what an adjournment debate actually is (it sounds impressive, but is it just another version of an Early Day Motion?). Seems that this is the last debate of the day which, on Tuesday's, is at 10pm. I can't imagine too many back benchers are still there but...

    Stadium plans

    Sorry, can't help myself joining in. Queen were my favourite band growing up. Anyone who says they were just a singles band has obviously not heard their albums. They would be my ultimate favourite band ever - if it weren't for the mighty Swedish rap metal band CLAWFINGER. (No I'm not kidding...

    In sickness and in health

    What a blinkered statement. This is not a SISU versus ACL show. We are not picking sides between SISU and ACL. HOWEVER, SISU are ruining the club (no argument!) so I, and the majority of fans, want to see the back of them. Their only attempts to legitimately stay at the Ricoh have been to...

    Who Should SP Try To Bring In

    I hope he gets Haskell in to shore up the defence (buy the Ricoh and keep SISU out). Then he should bring Byng in to put strength up front (an aggressive take-over bid).

    staring at the screen is making my eyes tired. Starting to ... YAWN ... fall asleep...

    Football league admit incompetance!!!

    I'm kicking myself for getting my hopes up again. But SURELY this has to go above the FL now. They have admitted making mistakes, mistakes that have impacted on the fairness of the administration process. Yet they wait MONTHS before admitting it, until it is nearly too late to rectify. This...

    Football league admit incompetance!!!

    Thanks, Hobo. This has to be challenged. Hope the latest ACL statement is true, that there is still time to complete the administration based on all the facts.

    Football league admit incompetance!!!

    Does that really make any difference? The player registrations were all in LTD in 2011, so if SISU deliberately started putting contracts into Holdings after that point (which by FL admission no other club has done) isn't this a sign that they were taking a deliberate action to split the...

    Football league admit incompetance!!!

    All great questions, but it is this one that is key for me. The FL have been complicit in muddying the waters and as a result the entire administration process was one sided (it was only ever SISU that would be successful). If the FL knew about this BEFORE the administration process had run...

    Football league admit incompetance!!!

    From what I've read and heard, the Football League are completely incompetent and I doubt very much they are clever enough to understand the implications of this admission. I expect (and REALLY hope) there will be legal challenges now.

    I'm going to Northampton on Sunday

    Take the blinkers off. There are plenty of other possible outcomes to this. For example, there is a very real possibility that SISU will (finally) realise that they are never going to get their hands on the Ricoh and decide to cut their losses by selling the club. The new owners are then more...

    Administration Meeting 2/8/13 Official Thread

    If all the assets were in one place (golden share, player registrations, training ground, academy...) then they would not need to own the stadium for the club to have value. All they need is the right to play at the Ricoh for the next ten years and then any prospective new owners will be in a...
