    Two wrongs don't make a right

    Well, the £14m bailout comes coincidentally at the same time as CCC announce adult social housing cuts, the allowance of Coventry schools to become sponsored academies, cuts on the redevelopment of the most deprived areas in Coventry and adult support services for the vulnerable go to tendering...

    If Sisu stayed where would we be allowed to play next season?

    Here's hoping. There is a stipulated radius as to how far a club can move to protect fans from the likes of MK Dons but I'm not sure how far it is. I don't think Brightons ground is actually in Brighton.

    Burge wants to fight for number 1 spot next season

    Lambton Jaffas Following his release from Coventry, Ireland returned home to Australia and joined Lambton Jaffas FC, who have recently been promoted to the Northern New South Wales State Football League for the 2013 season. From Wiki. Lambton Jaffas surely can't be real???!!!

    I'm a child of the exessively paid footballer. Although I'm pretty sure they players I grew up watching in the 90's got the same as this lot do now!!

    Hypothetical Question just a bit if fun

    Would you follow Coventry to Birmingham to play in Villa Park at the whim of an investor who promised the Premiership? Whould you be happy about it?

    Burge wants to fight for number 1 spot next season

    I get that. I do think, though, by having him as a second choice could do more harm than good. Especially given the little patience The Ricoh Arena has. If you're good enough your old enough mantra is rubbish. If you're good enough and still young, you still need that protective environment. I'd...

    Burge wants to fight for number 1 spot next season

    Agreed, but then I'm always drawn to this comment about lower league youth and when they get an offer, similar to Bigi, in the Prem. Constantly, it's not just the better money or prospects that is the positive, it's the relief that every week, it's not about 3 points, the pressure is taken away...

    Hypothetical Question just a bit if fun

    At board level, I agree. Although I would have liked to have seen Cloughting (spelling?) on a different board. Very passionate about the community of Coventry and how the club could influence and help the vulnerable of our society but due to the circumstances and the supposed pressure of being...

    Burge wants to fight for number 1 spot next season

    Joe Murphy is good enough and under contract. I don't understand why we would need to start Burge. Great that he's had a good season but if we want to develop him, give him another season on loan at a higher level than Boro with a recall option. We need to nurture our young talent, not just...

    Hypothetical Question just a bit if fun

    I guess it's just a question of priority. They took over in a different climate which has been said on many occassions. They also said that the eventual plan was to excecute the option of the 50% share, so under the Ranson regime they tried to focus on the playing side to gain promotion to the...

    Maggie Thatcher has died

    Well, actually the ideal of communism is fantastic. The trouble is, at a human level, we can't even handle democracy without corruption so communism doen't stand a chance.

    Hypothetical Question just a bit if fun

    But that's just it. You already have a connection to Boro. I actually couldn't give a crap!! It's nice when they do well but I've got more of an affinity to Burton Albion than Boro. They are no way near my team so why would I support them because they're dancing in the coffin of my club?

    Hypothetical Question just a bit if fun

    That's a non-point, Don. Our hearts will always be in this club. Regardless as to who plays locally. There are many City fans for whom CCFC aren't the local club. They may watch their local team but nothing will ever compare. We've been through too much. We're too connected, spiritually...
