    More news on Ryton

    Straight question: Who the hell here is pro-SISU? Where is this pro SISU club, and does it serve alcohol? As for Ryton, from the club's point of view I couldn't care over much about selling it as long as we've got somewhere with broadly similar facilities to train. However I entirely accept...

    What is Norman Smurthwaite's angle?

    Nah - I'd say he's somewhere between 90 and 180 degrees - i.e. Obtuse. :)

    Lee Burge

    I'm still of the opinion that an older goalie with more experience would suit this team more. It's not just about raw goalkeeping ability, it's also about organising the defence (which is also fairly young in parts). Both RCC and Burge make me nervous in all honesty.

    I hate rugby

    It's embarrassing mate, give it up. You're bought and paid for, if you ever gave a toss about the club I seriously doubt you'd do anything now to go against the franchise that puts money in your pocket. If you had any decency you'd put the word 'advertisement' in your footer. You've sold...

    Eric black

    Torchy will not be happy when he sees this thread, unless it's that Eric Black is off to spend some time at Her Majesty's pleasure that is.

    Tm hints at the truth

    I don't think there's any doubt that TM made some mistakes, not least of which was getting the recruitment wrong this season - he was man enough to admit that. However the club is in chaos, and the sheer number of managers we've burnt through must show that it isn't all down to poor management...

    Utter freakin' genius

    It's a good plan, but it doesn't involve the courts. Are you sure you've thought this through? ;)

    Let The Divisions Begin

    I'm not Jesus, Brylowes, I'm just a man. I don't go looking for trouble, in fact just the opposite. I'd expect to be able to go to a game without someone (another CCFC fan!) yelling 'scab' or other abuse at me. I don't know exactly how I'd react, but I've got a pretty good idea how some...

    Let The Divisions Begin

    Just to clarify, I'm not hard GG, and I'm not some kind of keyboard warrior either. You won't see me calling out people here. I'm a grown-up, and I've seen plenty enough of fighting to know that I don't much like it and I'd rather avoid it. But I'm also a man, and I'm from Cov, and like a lot...

    Let The Divisions Begin

    Fair enough. I've got to admit that it got right under my skin, this. Appreciate that you've been man enough to come on here and explain, I hope others see it the same way.

    Let The Divisions Begin

    Defending calling people 'scabs' is just about the stupidest thing I've seen here in a very, very long time. I'm a peaceful man for the most part, but anyone who called me that might be on the end of something a bit more direct than an unpleasant name. I doubt I'd be the only one who felt that...

    Allardyce

    Indeed, the Sun was happy to take the piss out of someone's speech defect. That alone should tell you how clever and funny it is... Roy, bless him, not the best manager we've ever had, but as it turns out clearly an order of magnitude smarter than his successor.

    Allardyce

    I feel a bit sorry for him in truth, because there's no in my mind doubt that he really wanted the job and I thought he might make a decent fist of it. But how could he be so stupid (and greedy) as to fall for this? The bloke was getting millions to manage England, why get involved in any...

    Then we could have flogged it to Wasps when the FA wasn't looking. ;)

    mowbray about to walk ?

    He's from Canley isn't he? If Gilbert tells him to come then what choice will he have. :)

    Gilbert's Book

    "Coventry City: A Club Without a Home is a journey through one of the most turbulent times in the history of the Sky Blues, told by those caught in the eye of the storm." Really? I wonder if it will interview the journalist who was sacked by the CET because he wanted to draw attention to the...

    Sisu gone on Monday? Yanks are coming!

    Can I just say though, that much as I'd like it to happen, I'm far from convinced by the rumours. I'm certainly not building any hopes up, personally.

    Sisu gone on Monday? Yanks are coming!

    Ah, the franchise model, where local authorities build stadia at huge public cost to entice franchise sports teams to switch locations. Works well for the franchises as they jump from city to city to get the best deals, less so for the authorities and fans. I'm just glad that we don't follow...

    If Wasps publicly declared they wanted to buy CCFC

    That's as elegant a summary as anything that I've ever seen hereabouts. Couldn't agree more.
