1 year in the last 50 in the third tier sounds ok but if you plot a graph of our league standing in the last 6 seasons under Shitsu there is a clear downward trend. Our next few years will be in this division or lower. What is the alternative stick with Sisu as they don't have our best...

No I think it should be the Ricoh but Butts would be a better atmosphere. Today feels like a bereavement.

Sell the stadium to PH4. Don't let CCFC play there. Allow sphinx to play there hopefully they will rise through the leagues as CCFC get relegated risk going under as they play in front of 1,500 at Nene Park then see if they will sell up. Never thought I would talk about my "beloved" club like...

Sisu were "encouraged" by RR to believing that with a few £m they would get to the premiership, and having bought the 50% share of the ACL could sell on for a nice tidy profit. Their due diligence was naive, they have had no strategy ph4 will learn from such mistakes but he won't get the club...

The FL are running scared, SISU would tie them up in knots via court cases etc.. there should be a clear rule where the golden share should lie. Their tactic is to hope that it is resolved amicably they would not dare confront sisu.

Sisu will retain overall control PH4 won't bid blind. We will play at the Ricoh. I won't be there. to quote the band James "If I hadn't seen such riches, I could live with being poor" - the negativity surrounding the club if Sisu continue to own it, a fall in crowds etc.. I would rather keep...

I think they may be in trouble, there will be squad players who may have to have parts of their contract paid up to get them off their books, saleable players may not get as much cash for them as clubs know that they don't want to stay in the championship - attracting players to Wigan - probably...

Mutton - the ex milkman, Lucas a former junior employee at BT v the private equity boys, I know who my money would be on. SISU can't run a football club but they are now sailing close to the wind with court cases etc.. lawyers and this is where they operate best. As much as I would like them...

Spoke to long standing ST holder yesterday, directed most of his anger at the BigRon reign where we threw money at a lot of average players Eioin Jess, Liam Daish etc and build up these considerable debts but not a particularly good team, no anti-sisu rant but will he got to home games outside...

Just voted to stay in Cov and start again, up the road in Treacle Town they went from Nuneaton Borough to Nuneaton town, looks and feels like the same club, ie no real loss of identity. its 12 years since the big relegation and we have been drifted backwards ever since, the weight of the debt...

Nene Park - home of the doomed Rushden & Diamonds, a club formed from the merger of Rushden Town and Irthlingborough Diamonds using Max Griggs (Doc Matrens owner) money. The ground is based in Irthlingborough, quite near to Finedon where there are a couple of pubs. Its about a 45 mile trip...

I think employees at a factory v crowds at a football game are beyond compare, do you think ryton village when there is a local derby or leeds / cardiff in town would resemble 10 years ago when the factory was in full swing.

SISU will not be building a ground at Ryton - it will cost a minimum of £20m, a few years of planning permission and if you think the Ricoh is a bit out of town, well Ryton's worse. A good portion of the city of Coventry can walk to the Ricoh Holbronx, Keresley Foleshill, Longford, Even...

Yes Even if it was a fan's buyout and not SISU who were moving us, I would personally struggle to get to the likes of Brum especially for those midweek games usually 5 in the league season and a few midweek night games in the cups. Football is about the atmosphere, 3,000 home fans at...

2 more players to add to that list Fleck & Barton, highly promising careers not looking like they will fulfil their potential - will they knuckle down and make a go of it or will they carry on drifting. Fleck has clear ability and desire but physically poor, Barton again clear ability but also...

Again my personal opinion only but I think that there is an attitude problem within the club with certain players who believe that they are too good for League 1 and this attitude inspires our opposition. Can't accuse Dicky wood of such an attitude and the likes of DMG, Leon clarke, Cyrus, Joe...

u19 caps are good and demonstrate that others also thought that he had ability also but hasn't delivered and IMO think he is capable of a lot more but too casual and I think that he is not living the lifestyle of a player whose career is going down the pan but of a rising star, needs a reality...

Its down to finances. If Bell is on the £7-8k per week as reported and is persistently injured we could get 3 reasonable league1 players for that money. JC won't be on as much as Bell but it will be high for league 1, can't live off potential forever need to deliver at some point, SP may have...

is that surplus to or were so good they surpassed the required level. Of that lot probably Malaga is the one I might take a punt on thought he did ok in the few games I saw him play. Bell there is injury issues as well as the cost to keeping him and unlike a lot of cov fans I don't see him as...

Wood has been committed but hardly fantastic. Our defence has been a shambles recently and he has been a regular in that. Although good in the air and was a genuine threat from set pieces he was very slow and not very good at passing, would have liked to have kept him but there is better value...
