    Diamonds are forever

    possibly Paxman ...... certainly the right rest and preparation is essential. I am not sure that the specific depth of knowledge is there in the coaches because we do not have a full time fitness coach. I look back at how fit Boothroyd got the team and compare to how they are under the current...

    Overall view on tonight.

    I am hoping that the players and coaches/manager have learnt from tonight ........ specifically that there is nothing to fear in this division and that playing on the front foot higher up the pitch as we did in the second half is the way to go...... have the confidence and belief that we can...

    never ever learns

    Thought the midfield was anonymous first half ...... the lack of movement pace and tempo was clear ...... and when will we learn that long diagonal punts to two small forwards isnt even a 50:50 ball Much better second half and we looked to play the ball forward to feet and on the front foot...

    wouldnt disagree wingy .... first half the midfield was a bit of a shambles when you could see it operate

    Diamonds are forever

    First half we had little pace or tempo..... and very little movement. The difference between the two teams was whan a Sheff player received the ball he looked to go forward, CCFC players almost always received the ball standing still and often played it square or backwards. To be fair to AT he...

    anonymous first half with missed passes..... showed some good touches second half which coincided with the best period of play for CCFC

    So let's have your MOtM

    Richard Wood. Sure strong composed, looked like a leader on the pitch and made two great goal saving clearances

    Theoretically

    The profit is split between ACL and Compass ...... in what proportion i wouldnt know, i would suspect it is more in Compass favour

    Could Coventry be shut out of Ricoh?

    The sponsorship is for the complex not the club........... and there is a very good argument for saying that all the shenanigans going on at CCFC and its failure football wise tarnishes not enhances the Ricoh name. The longer we are in League 1 the less the "positive" effect CCFC can have on...

    Could Coventry be shut out of Ricoh?

    The Ricoh is unviable without regular usage ...... that may or may not include CCFC .......... got to think a lot wider than just a football club. It isnt as if ACL have to make up a gap of 100% of their income ........... they have to make up 15% of it (approx)Not saying it would be easy for...

    Could Coventry be shut out of Ricoh?

    ACL dont want CCFC out ..... of course not .......... but there is a reason why they continue to drive down their reliance on the football club........ CCFC is a high risk tenant. We are now 5 months on from the first default that we know of, is it conceivable that the Board of ACL has just sat...

    Theoretically

    Doesnt make the debt go away though does it .......... and if ccfc were playing elsewhere then much more likely there would be a petition to wind up...... a non league ground might well be very appropriate then if we are lucky

    Portsmouth- what on earth

    If the supporters trust pull it off then fair play to them ........... but the budgets seem to be made on some sweeping assumptions and dont seem to include a big chunk of cost. Doesnt appear to add up to me

    Your expectations for tonight?

    I think as much as anything I am looking for a good performance, playing on the front foot higher up the pitch, putting Sheff Utd under pressure in their half. There has to be confidence and tempo to our game, good movement and crisp passing. Do that and I think we can get at least a draw Am i...

    Assange gets asylum in Ecuador granted

    Just find it disappointing, to say the least, that USA is even that high up on the Guardian report. I know the table is only a generalisation. I think we sit here passing judgements (rightly) over the likes of Rwanda etc and tend to gloss over the fact that all is not necessarily rosey in the...

    How much to buy CCFC outright

    ACL Shares from Charity £8m (£10m was a press figure not one actually agreed by charity) ACL Shares from Council £10m to £15m (may accept same as charity if retains freehold) Pay off SISU/ ARVO £20m with rest on a what if basis Working capital for Club £10m (to fund losses for at least 2...

    Theoretically

    with our away record ?:facepalm: you want us to play all our games away ? on a practical note ...... we cant just walk away from the lease and other liabilities at the Ricoh, so those costs would continue we would rent the other stadium .... adding to costs we would not have rights to other...

    Could Coventry be shut out of Ricoh?

    First off lets say a lock out is very unlikely at this stage...... and certainly not happening tonight Last I heard ccfc rent accounted for 15% of income .......... yes there is the share of the profits from the joint venture with compass but CCFC will only be a part of those joint profits...
