    It's time for thorn to go.

    Whilst Thorn clearly made a series of mistakes on Saturday he is, like many of his squad, inexperienced and will learn. He is trying to achieve the impossible and create a competitive team with a lesser squad than finished just above relegation last year. Whatever some may think King, Westwood...

    Nigeria's Number One Stand Up Comes To The Ricoh

    In case the link to this comedy gem isn't working: SISU's representative on the Coventry City board Onye Igwe has said that his plans include building a team that can challenge and establish CCFC as one of the most admired clubs in English football. Writing in the programme for the Sky Blues...

    Nigeria's Number One Stand Up Comes To The Ricoh

    Onye Igwe, obviously Nigeria's answer to Peter Kaye, has published the transcript of his latest stand up routine and from reading it its no surprise he's the star in his native country that he is - absolutely hilarious stuff. Its good to read such side splitting material and he hasn't had to...

    Thorn got it wrong today...

    I think Murphy had no choice but punt it into touch, having been booked by the halfwit ref for time wasting when he didn't even have the ball he had to get rid of it quickly or risk getting sent off. There was no one up front so had no option but put it into touch.

    Thorn got it wrong today...

    Gael made a bad error of judgement with a rash challenge, thorn made a bad error of judgement in not replacing ROD with Deegan after the sending off, ROD made a bad error of judgement in missing a simple clearance - all in all too many errors

    oh dear ROD

    It's a sign of how far we have sunk as a club when the best option off the bench is a player barely good enough for nuneaton borough. Still I am sure kennyboy will be getting us a striker in on loan any day now along with an experienced midfielder. Yeah right - thanks for nothing SISU.

    Whinging Cotterill set to take charge for Forest tomorrow

    Personally I think Cotterill is a decent manager - did a reasonable job at Burnley, did a v good job at Notts County and despite all the financial problems etc he has done a good job at Portsmouth. Their finances were as bad as hours and he still got them to a higher place than us. I am sure we...

    Did he jump or was he pushed?

    I wonder if we are reading too much into Cloutings departure - maybe it was more to do with the aborted attempt to bring in the commercial director who was his friend and lasted 24 hours before irregularities surfaced - was he trying to pull a fast one and other board members sussed it out?

    If We Get Relagated Would You Renew Your Season Ticket?

    Was having a chat yesterday with mate who has had season ticket for 15 years and I have had one for 30 years and we both said that if we were to be relegated and that nothing was changing in the way the club was being run ie: no investment in team and a likely stagnation in the third division we...

    CCFC ATTENDANCE - Myth and Reality

    Spot on as ever OSB - we are stuck at the Ricoh so have to make the best off it. With a successful side, good pricing, excellent marketing and community involvement I would see crowds of 20k being possible but as all the press surrounding our club is negative, owners who don't give a damn, a...

    MICHAEL KIGHTLY - CCFC Interest ???

    When I first read the thread title I thought that joker / fraudster who tried to buy Man Utd a few years back was trying to buy City!

    fat freddie on the way out

    I was so pleased when he signed - I honestly thought we had brought in a quality player who would help move the club forward and we can build a team around him. What a let down he has been. Hasn't been helped by managers playing him out of position but a succession of managers have had him and...

    fat freddie on the way out

    Putting him up for loan is one thing - finding someone to take him is another, especially if we won't contribute to part of his wages. He's over weight, unfit, has a really poor attitude, is on astronomical wages by Div 1 standards, hasn't exactly been slamming in hatfuls of goals - he's hardly...

    The “Thorn has nothing to work with” quotes i keep hearing is bollocks and this is wh

    Not gospel by any means but a contact who supports Northampton told me that Dunn has all the physical attributes to be a good keeper, big, strong, brave but unfortunately the whole is less than the sum of the parts and they were not sorry to see him go. Maybe he will improve with good coaching...

    Left back & centre midfielder....

    Hussey - in my opinion his confidence is shot and if we had anything that could be called a squad he would be rested. He has some potential but he is now treating the ball like a hot potato and just getting rid asap. His crossing is woeful and this area more than any other needs addressing...
