    Eastern Link up

    So lets get this straight a civic liason trip has been linked in to a takeover of CCFC simply because they are going in September with the Lord Mayor to a city that Coventry is twinned with and has a successful football team, there being no evidence of the clubs involvement in the trip itself.

    Adam Barton

    it is a risk if you have very little/no money in the first place and cant even pay the rent..... to pay out on a player that as yet has not played since a very serious injury is certainly a risk in those circumstances. If we had money then i would agree with you

    WTF happened to Jennings

    is a different alternative if he is ...... supposedly Jennings likes a tackle apparently Barton is not that sort of player. I would guess Jennings has alternative interest that suits him better .......... or that we took a look and said not for us.... (but my money would be on the first)

    McSheffrey Mk II

    the thing i found annoying was the number of times he ran towards the player with the ball but always got there too late, yet he is supposed to be quick ...... just seemed to me to do it to make it look good as if he was doing the job. He wasnt only one though

    Your Top Qualities of a football manager

    ok my turn to be pedantic...... i do not believe respect is a quality at all ..........it is the earned result of the qualities the manager is in possession of. he can show respect but again is this a quality or the result of anothers actions/abilities etc ? ok pedantic button is on off now

    Olympic football at The Ricoh (City Of Coventry Stadium)

    i took it that they dropped off and defended their half of the pitch, would say they pressured the ball in own half, but i think the speed of passing generally created spaces. thought the Japanese no 7 had a good second half........... and how big was that Senegal substitute that came on late...
