    Ranson/Hoff's Takeover

    I would very much doubt if Hoffman would want to be Chairman with day to day involvement in running the club. He is busy launching a bank, NBNK, with Lord Levene so wouldn't think he has too much spare time to run a football club. However could see RR being brought back to run club with Hoffman...

    Andy Thorn - City won't be held to ransom

    Not wild speculation but educated guesswork based on long experience of how this club operates. Did anyone actually expect these contracts to be signed? The fact is we are skint and there was no way the contracts were going to be attractive enough to keep the players - what I dislike is the fact...

    Ranson/Hoff's Takeover

    Hoffman is a Director at Mirror group so they are the main vehicle for all takeover stories so may be some truth in it. However Ranson worked with AT as chief scout and obviously knows what a good eye for a player he has and now he has shown he can lead a team, albeit for only a dozen games RR...

    Andy Thorn - City won't be held to ransom

    Probably the most predictable headline of the season - we offer contracts to three players (although there is some debate as to whether a new offer was ever made to Westy) and everyone is overjoyed - now when it turns out those offers were not good enough and were never going to be good enough...

    Who would you like to see at city?

    0 in 4 and then injured for rest of season. He is a very neat and tidy player - good first touch and a clinical eye for goal. If we cant have him would take Simon Cox from the Boggies. No first team regular so maybe on loan - that is if we can have loans next season. Marlon is gone so we need...

    Who would you like to see at city?

    Never likely to happen but would love to see Charlie Austin here from Burnley. Would be good replacement for Marlon and top young talent.

    Quirke waiting for contract offer.

    Mirror my thoughts Scott - he does appear to be a bit short in comparison with some of the well over 6 footers that seem to be the norm these days. Will he be able to dominate on crosses etc? Has basic ability but physically there is a question mark that could count against him.

    Westy, King and Gunnar

    Judging by the body language after the game on Sat - Westy off for definite and good luck to him wherever he goes be that Celtic or Villa, been great for us, not messed club around, told them his intentions and never let us down or gave less than 100% in any subsequent games. Marlon will be...

    Gunnarson hint's at signing...

    How unfair of him to have the temerity to look to see if there are better offers around, as he is fully entitled to as a free agent. He is a free agent simply due to our inability to offer him a decent contract before the current one expired as we are a club run by incompetent cretins. Also why...

    McSheffrey Wins Award

    Usual blind local boy made good mentality. He was dire for first half of season, scored a few goals but probably cost us more with his laziness and unwillingness to track back. Has had half a dozen decent matches under AT but that surely is not enough to win player of the year. For consistency...

    Didnt even know there was still a Coventry City Supporters Club - even lower profile than the good old Sky Blues Trust

    Coventry City offer new contracts to King, Westwood and Gunnarsson

    It is a positive step and I am pleased about it but have witnessed too many false dawns, half truths and down right lies where this board and previous custodians are concerned to be tearing down my Wills and Kate bunting and hoisting up my SISU flags just yet. Once AT, Westy, Marlon and Gunnar...

    Coventry City offer new contracts to King, Westwood and Gunnarsson

    I admit I am very cynical where this bunch are concerned, just as I was under the triumvirate of crapulence but if we actually look at what has generated all the excitement it isn't that great - AT has verbally agreed to the terms of a contract - hasn't actually signed one and who knows what...

    Coventry City offer new contracts to King, Westwood and Gunnarsson

    Lots of excitement about contracts being offered - take this as an indication of just how desperate for good news we all are. Contract offered is one thing - contract signed is another altogether - all depends how derisory they are and how quickly they will be rejected by the insulted players...

    Change good or bad?

    I am with you Rich - all this fancy dan passing to our own players, keeping possession, waiting for an opening, holding the ball up and bringing others into the game is just not on and as for all this goal scoring its just the final straw - all this leaping up with joy is doing my poor knees in...

    Out of Contract Players

    The only one who might be kept on is Quirke - all the rest will be allowed to go to balance books and offers for Turner, Juke, Clingan, Cranie, Eastwood would be welcomed. Side for next season could well be: Quirke Keough McPake Wood...

    Why don't we see more Asian football supporters up the Ricoh?

    I know my dad is working with the club to build links with the Polish community in Cov and Warwicks and the club have been very helpful and supportive. He interviewed Jutkiewicz for the Polish show on CWR and it turns out the kid doesnt speak a word of Polish or know anything about his heritage...
