Didn't we have a cup match once? The trend started with the americans building new baseball stadiums after Camden Yards in Baltimore, for example. In the US though it is customary for the City to pay for the stadium to attract a team to play there. If only CCC had the vision...

The problem I think was not getting promoted. The stadium was a massive (and maybe foolish) undertaking for a championship club although Richardson was quoted as saying that the Tesco money should have covered it. Why did we ever leave HR for a stadium with a couple of 1000 extra capacity having...

I've not heard him this morning - he just seems a bit lightweight

I don't find Gilbert very convincing I'm afraid.

I expect King to make a counter offer to FG for the stadium if this is for real. That'll turn the tables - he's the only one who can unite the club and stadium in our interests...

King deal expected to be approved by the EFL this week according to CT. Best news for ages... https://www.coventrytelegraph.net/sport/football/transfer-news/coventry-city-takeover-doug-king-25688010

It's always the same when you must sell, prices collapse.

If the have a fire sale in January the players would go for Hyam prices. See Burnley already think they can get Vik on the cheap if the reports are correct. I couldn't see them raising £15m all in never mind Vik

Clearly King now has to progress the new stadium plans and to leave Ashley with a big white elephant because he can never be trusted.

Ashley has shown his true colours in his attitutude to football in general by this eviction. He couldn't care less for the game or the fans. I hope he's banned for life from owning a football club anywhere.

Without clarity over use of the stadium and future season ticket revenues they'll be no significant Jan transfers - in anyway - nor contract extensions for the leading players. How can there be? It'll all have to be short term stuff. This is the plan to destabilise the club...

This is about screwing more cash from the club if we're promoted, hence the short term agreement that's been offered. There may well be longer term objectives too.

Hopefully the EFL will tell Ashley that he would never again pass the fit ownership test having behaved in the manner.

Wegs lived in a flat in Kenilworth 4 or 5 doors away from my Mum and Dad - lovely XJS in the drive

Hopefully the club will ensure that nobody is out of pocket!

I wonder what the Council has offered Ashley to get it out of its Wasps mess. Ashley threatening the judge that he'd walk away if admin not granted today - not a good look. I think this is a disaster waiting to happen and another stand off between club and stadium owner, with the council on the...

Only through dishonesty though.

How many times have Sunderland be on? It's great to see the lads on telly occasionally when you can't get to games, it's nothing to do with paranoia, I'm getting fed up...

Why are we not getting a fair share of games on Sky? Just the away game at Sunderland so far. I think all the other games tonight are on the red button - what's going on?

I'm wondering if it will become his new HQ...
