    The Next Four Years

    Now we're back home where do we think we'll be in four years time? League 1, Championship or the promised land? For me I think a mid table championship club. We should now have the finances to escape League 1 although I think this season may be too much of an ask with so many new players...

    Starting Lineup as of Today

    I'm taking the piss. But do think we're more suited to 4-4-2 with the players we've brought in. If 3-5-2 don't work for van gaal and united because of lack of holding players and true wing backs it ain't going to work for Elvis and his sky blues.

    Starting Lineup as of Today

    Think the andy thorn diamond could work for us this season. Tudgay and jackson up front; Fleck at the top, obrian and Swanson on the wings with the holding player behind (not thomas he needs a brake) Haynes/Pugh, big reda, webster, clarke Alsopp What's good is we seem to have cover and...

    Striker signs today

    TRANSFER NEWS: Steven Pressley comes right out and confirms the club will be signing a striker today. Signing will add real competition in the striker area. Pressley very pleased with the capture. Unknown player not match fit and it will take two or three weeks to get up to get up to speed...

    Steven pressleys record

    The fact he kept us up last season having experienced a 10 point deduction and move to sixfields for me gives him this season at least. I'm not sure he's a great manager and other managers in our league have to work on similar budgets but I can't overlook how de motivating it must be playing at...

    Financial Stability

    Should add that I'm not expecting us to go up this season even if we go back to the ricoh with acess to f&b. would certainly expect a promotion in the next three years with our resources at this level though. There is also the requirement that sisu don't cash in their charges against the club...

    Financial Stability

    If we agree a nominal rent for the ricoh with a profit sharing agreement for food & beverage along with our dramatically reduced wage bill have SISU made us a viable football club? With our fan base, stadium and academy we are a big enough club to escape league 1 and establish ourselves in the...

    The Higgs Share..

    I actually think they'll buy land and pretend the stadium will be built on it just to put more pressure on acl. What we'll probably find though is the site they secure will be for the new training ground/academy.

    ACL snookered

    I'm no sisu fan but do think acl need to prove they can get big events in o a regular basis. U21 football, european rugby, darts, snooker, wwe. If the secured these sort of events regularly it proves they can make a go of it without ccfc. Not doubting they're still making money as the mortgage...

    CCC statement a disaster for Sisu and CCFC

    Nuneaton statement interests me. Ian neale states they need investment to move full time and improve the stadium to league two level. With the speculation sisu may be looking to build in the nuneaton/bedworth area could they buy liberty way and upgrade it? Let cov and the boro ground share...

    Trust: 6 Local Authorities say no discussions. Rugby say no.

    Agree with you there but that's how people sell these sort of developments. The uk in general struggles to create sustainable well paid employment so warehouse/retail jobs are always seen as a win by government. Cov city centre is a prime example, its dying whilst the council allow retail...

    Trust: 6 Local Authorities say no discussions. Rugby say no.

    It's coventry and warwickshire chamber of commerce. Can see her justifying it by saying it will bring investment to the deprived north of the county.

    Trust: 6 Local Authorities say no discussions. Rugby say no.

    Only just though, the griff is nearer bedrocks collycroft heartland than nuneaton town centre. Only speculating buts it's always seemed more likely to be around bedworth due to the lack of distinguishable borders with cov and t residents aren't as prim and proper as somewhere like Brandon or...

    Trust: 6 Local Authorities say no discussions. Rugby say no.

    Bedworth would make sense, In need of regeneration, outside coventry but only just, houses a large number of city fans and has train station. The gypsy lane site is right next to the proposed bermuda park station. The council may struggle to decline a stadium, investment in an area targeted...

    Baker, Clarke & Murphy Told To Go

    It's in the sun too so I think there's defiantly an air of truth in it for a couple of papers to be running the story. Reality is sisu are happy for us to go down again, we're in a who blinks first situation. As hard as it is to say it we could do with acl getting some rugby matches, concerts...

    Should ACL go for liquidation?

    As ACL have a vote on the CVA a rejection would lead to liquidation. Should we bite the bullet and start again or prolong the agony with a slow death move to northampton and suffer further relegations to non league?

    Sponsorship

    with city link pulling out will we be without a sponsor for next season? Can't see season ticket sales being great either so we could be at a major financial disadvantage next season unless the rumoured interested parties act fast.
