Hypothetical question as there will be changes. If no one comes in and no one goes out I think we would be looking at probably being in the bottom 3 next season. Interesting to see how opinions will change as we bring players in or players leave. Interested in peoples opinions as things develop...

Great idea. Did the city own the Mercers Arms back in the day? Mark up on beer is usually 100% profit I think, so get drinking or spilling it down your cardie.

I lived in the Black Country when Ron was manager at West Brom. Their fans seemed to think Ron had got lucky inheriting a brilliant team. Think it was Ronnie Allen then Johnny Giles who built most of the team that built his rep. They were brilliant however. beating us 6-1 I remember when I...

Under contract gets a 15% signing on fee = big bucks. Breaking agreed contract, refusing to play not so wonderful.

Yes, thats the one.

I still have fond memories of McCallister dropping the ball on Dublins head at the near post from a corner, and Dion winning it most of the time.

Bellamy was very uncomplimentary about us when describing coming to us from Norwich.

Signing on fees are a big deal even if wages are the same. Leeds sang One greedy bastard to McCallister and we could have done the same to Dublin. I have no problem with players leaving to better themselves or determining who they play for...more money or more chance of trophies. It was the...

My son said him, but I am sure it was someone else, unless the old brain is atrophying.

I happen to know when Heskey went to Liverpool, he was persuaded by Oneal to sign a new contract so Leicester could benefit from a fee for him. A player moving on but helping his home town team. Classy. McCallister should have been offered the same.

Clough was about to sign for the City 100%. Derrick Robbins was worried Clough wanted too much control and pulled out. Clough said at the time, we were a bigger club than Derby. I remember someone rang CWR at the time Wilson was sold saying we had been robbed. Admittedly, at the time I thought...

Completely agree, which was why I qualified the statement, but at the time, anyone would have been way better than Reid.

Also, Robinson using Richardson as a front to buy Derrick Robins shares. He said he would never sell to Robinson as he would destroy the City (not far wrong).

What do you think are the pivotal moments where it all went wrong or right? Not giving Jimmy Hill the contract he wanted (10 years) Not employing Brian Clough as manager - he went to Forest instead. Selling Highfield Road. Sacking Eric Black and employing Peter Reid. Not saying Black would have...

If you read the history books, Coventry have had many illustrious players who missed the legend status as they either played too long ago, Clarrie Bourton, didn’t stay long enough or had a legendary moment. Carr and Hunts special goal and the George Hudson goal arguably the best ever in a sky...

There are legends and there are uber legends like Jimmy Hill. A man who created the Sky Blues and irrevocably changed football for good or ill. He helped to abolish the maximum wage, introduced three points for a win and I think, (but not sure), had a hand in increasing the number of clubs...

Age is a strange one. If you are good enough, you are old enough (McCallum). 25 is young for a keeper but could be too late for a home grown or bought outfield player who cant make the starting 11 (Allen). We got Ohare because he had not broken into the Villa team at his age. Some players mature...

That said, I think Kasta has more chance winning the Eurovision Song Contest representing England than playing for us next season. I really hope someone is digging this out to embarrass me next year.

Miracles sometimes happen, look at Sunderland. If every city fan makes a wish, Kasta could turn into the player we thought he was going to be...and that pig could be flying past the window.

They both have pots on them especially as they were elite athletes. Depends on your definition of fat.
