    Championies, Championies

    I think you have misread, doesn't read to me like he is advocating cancelling the season, but saying why cancel the season if you don't know when you can restart.

    Championies, Championies

    The 22 game midpoint one, where they take the 1st match played against each team, has us 4th or 5th. It seems ridiculous to me but it has been put out there, and will probably be pushed by those teams it suits.

    EFL to end season this week - City likely to be promoted

    He is sticking up for his club and fighting for their best interests - that is admirable. But for our run immediately prior to the break it could have been us in the play offs instead and I would like to think that our owners would have been fighting as hard for our club's interests in the same...

    Only a caretaker I know but Richard Shaw must statistically have the worse managerial record. 4 straight defeats against the mighty Crewe, Stevenage, Tranmere and Shrewsbury. If Shaw had done half decently in those games he would have got the job, and we would never have got MR.

    The 6 clubs immediately outside the automatic places for a start! Also if there is any chance of a null and void season, or this standings at 22 games bollocks, I would hope we would vote against it too.

    My nephew was in City's Academy for about 4 years in the same group as Cyrus Christie. They were a good group, beating just about everybody they came up against but Christie was the only one that made it of that group. He was most definitely the best athlete, although the worst technically, but...

    Magnus Hedman

    When we signed him I expected him to be a lot better than he turned out. The writing was on the wall when he was not deemed good enough to replace a geriatric Oggy, who he took half a season to displace. In summary we've had worse goalkeepers, but we've also had far better.

    Bundesliga going ahead

    I like what St Pauli stand for, plus they have a brown home kit so kind of CCFC connected. They play in Bundesliga 2 though, so not sure if they are also restarting.

    I think Dietmar Bruck had long since stopped training!!

    EFL Decision on Coventry’s future expected today

    I thought the EFL included Championship, League 1 and League 2. Surely any vote to 'abandon' the season should involve all members, not just a separate vote for League 1 and League 2 clubs.

    Peter Billing

    Professional footballers are light years ahead of your average Saturday/ Sunday player. Always makes me chuckle when fans quote 'such and such' is shit as a matter of fact, when they probably can't kick a ball themselves. Was hilarious at the Ricoh when they did that half time shooting into an...

    Injuries

    Alassani has played his last game for the club. Unlucky with injuries but ridiculously overrated by some on here.

    Peter Billing

    I liked him. Hard as nails and gave his all. Ideally in the top league we would have had more quality but essentially he was brought in as back up, not as first choice. Initially he stepped in mostly for Killer when he started getting injuries, but must have been quite galling for him to then be...

    James McPake Interview

    Started ok and had difficult task of managing us through our time spent in Northampton and a points deduction. That season he had an exciting forward line, which he had to break up in the mid season transfer window and from then on things gradually unravelled. Once we moved back to Cov the team...

    James McPake Interview

    I base my opinion on him through our finishing 17th and 19th during his seasons in charge, despite being able to call on the likes of Westwood, Cranie, Dann, Turner, Fox, Gunnarsson, Tabb, Mifsud and Best . Not forgetting loan players like Henderson, Cork and Van Aanholt too. All of these...

    James McPake Interview

    I think a lot of them liked him because he was one of the lads, rather than because of his managerial skills. The Sunderland netflix documentary showed up these limitations perfectly, especially an interview with Aiden McGeady which was really damning.

    James McPake Interview

    He was a decent no nonsense defender, but he was injured too often unfortunately.

    Revenue idea if only BCD for the foreseeable future

    The option for i follow has only been open to overseas subscribers. Obviously there are some in the UK who have used VPN's to bypass that requirement, but I think your average Cov fan doesn't really know much about it. I don't really understand why you think that only those that have gone to St...

    Revenue idea if only BCD for the foreseeable future

    If this were to happen it wouldn't be £20, it would be £5 and people wouldn't have to leave their front room, never mind venture to St Andrews or the Ricoh, so I think 20,000 is a reasonable guesstimate, particularly given the position we are in at the moment. Additionally people would love to...

    Revenue idea if only BCD for the foreseeable future

    It's unlikely for this season you could change the costs, which are set at £5 a match. The money goes to the club you subscribe through so even for away games our money would go to CCFC not the home team. That is why the Accrington Chairman is so pissed off with i follow, as this obviously...
