    Pre-season training

    I have not seen as much of any of the other teams in this League to comment. Whilst all predictions are of course down to guesswork, if you don't know a little about the competition it is a complete stab in the dark. Is League 1 weaker this season than last? I don't know, not sure of the...

    Let's get a few more pages out of this... Rob hasn't met enough English-based Irish or Scots.

    Richard Shaw

    Who knows? Might be fairer to say that Millwall did ok when he was there. It is nice to have someone who holds the Club in high esteem working for us. He wasn't the greatest player, but loyal and a good man marker. Someone had a line on here stating the players they thought were shit, no matter...

    who are your all time best city 11 ?

    Is it akin to being a fan of SISU if I think that David Bell, given a run of games and an upsurge in confidence (hopefully with more backing from the stands than he is normally given), can do a job in League 1? I am not a fan of David Bell, but I would obviously like him to turn a corner and...

    Richard Shaw

    The inclusion of Carlton Palmer in your all time best ever Coventry City 11 highlights your genius admirably. Don't take the edge off by trolling; hint at some humility and the ability to at least appear to take the opinions of lesser mortals on board. It will be to your credit, you have already...

    who are your all time best city 11 ?

    Colin Cameron was a defensive midfielder, you would have to go 4-5-1 or that team would get found out in the top flight.

    Richard Shaw

    Question; When the season starts is this forum going to maintain the level of ridiculous tit-for-tat name calling and petty squabbling as it has espoused in recent months? I know visits to the Ricoh are becoming uniformly unsatisfying, the way that cyclical arguments are handled by some on here...

    The Chinaman Has Not Disappeared

    He's fallen out with SISU again, don't hold your breath. The Chinese are not the only consortium, there is another foreign group.

    Fisher on cwr now

    He did not say our transfer budget would be £4m. He said our wage budget would be closer to £4m than £1.4m. He is talking about the total wage budget of all CCFC employees; players, manager, shop staff, tea lady, the lot. The season before last this total wage budget was around £8.5m. SISU's...

    We Love You, City!

    Yeah, it was Saturday night. Didn't realise that was the last one, sorry all. If it comes back, I would definitely go and see it.

    Cameron

    I am really not sure about him suddenly growing into the best centre back in League 1 (not least because I would struggle to name more than half a dozen others). He is not as good a centre back as Keogh, Cranie, McPake and Wood, so we would have to flog all them first. Cameron does worry me at...

    Platt wants to win games

    Not sure if this has been addressed, but I think he is actually a yam yam. Walsall or somewhere.

    Offer Made for Bigi

    People were talking like this could be the worse move in the world for Bigi. Looking at it objectively, his season went a little downhill after early promise. Unsurprising after an attritional debut season which witnessed relegation. Second season syndrome in a more physical league? Who is to...

    We Love You, City!

    Yeah, well worth a watch. Well written and performed, kept the interest levels up, funny and poignant moments. I was only 6 when we lifted the cup, but thought it was quality.

    We Love You, City!

    At the Belgrade is well worth a watch. Saw it last night and found it more enjoyable than many a trip to the Ricoh.

    Richard Keogh

    Our player of the season just gone by a stretch (not meaning to damn him with faint praise, since we were largely toss and went down). Played all season at centre back, but can do just about as much of a job as right back. Will run all game, can go past players with a change of pace and think...

    Rejected keogh bid

    Had a chat with Keogh whilst excessively drunk (me, not him) in Scholars on Saturday night. Nice, friendly bloke, seemed genuine and didn't mind a chat. Said he would be happy to be here next season, but didn't have a clue what would happen and pointed to the Club being in a mess and the fans...

    McPake

    I'd be very surprised if he was on as much as Cranie was / was offered. I always liked the look of him and think we'll have missed out on a player who could have ended up a mainstay in the side, given a run of form and luck with injures.

    Squad required for top 6

    Is that not just the pessimism drummed into a CCFC fan talking? Do you actually know much about the quality of the League? I didn't even use to watch the highlights on the Football League show after the Championship; I can't say with any authority that - player for player - we are more likely to...

    Guess our XI that starts the season.....

    Where has this info come from that Wood is on £8k a week? I would imagine he was one of our higher earners, but I would have guessed around £6k. And there is a third factor as to why we wouldn't get Micky Doyle back (other than him having been sold as he was one of the highest earners and the...
