    SBT, I know we often differ, but that is genuinely funny.

    Coventry City Ladies.

    There's something there in the quote from the original article, about retaining all of the rights and history or something like that. I read that as meaning that they were claiming Coventry City Ladies as their own, despite now being Coventry United Ladies. I could well be wrong, but it struck...

    Coventry City chairman Tim Fisher misses out on bonus after Sky Blues fail to go up

    Erm... you only joined this forum in Apr 2015, according to your bio. Were you talking about this to someone else, or as someone else, perhaps?

    Coventry City chairman Tim Fisher misses out on bonus after Sky Blues fail to go up

    Much as I'd like to be drunk, I've ran out of White Lightning and the missus finished off the meths when I wasn't looking. Either way, I don't remember Fisher ever saying that he'd put his own money into the club. Other than SISU, the only person I can recall who actually is listed with shares...

    Coventry City Ladies.

    I'm guessing the reason that they've swapped names is because CCFC can't (or won't) offer them any support. It's pretty sad that, from a community point-of-view, but I guess we are where we are financially. My only grumble is that the new Coventry United LFC seem to also want to retain the...

    RUMOUR - Sam Ricketts To Sign Tomorrow

    Yep, that's fair enough I'd say. In truth I'm entirely ambivalent about whether he signs or not. Great player for us when he's fit, but no use when he isn't and has a very poor record in that regard. I'd be a bit more impressed if he was training with us to get fit whilst it's all sorted out...

    TM loses out on first target, Ricketts to sign hopefully

    I don't think it's the German. TM said we'd missed out to another L1 club. Nick's returned to the fatherland, iirc.

    Wasps new deal with Compass

    The Wasps deal wasn't there to be done with the club. I can say this with complete confidence because the Council never made the same offer to the club, or indeed even started an open bidding process for the Ricoh. In fact the council's official, public line was that they would talk about...

    Reda not at training today

    Reda's wee is definitely going to be the wrong colour today, I reckon. Perhaps that's why he's stayed away. A bit worrying that two of the main targets that TM has outlined don't appear to be staying - but it's early days yet, and neither Reda nor the German were universally acclaimed in...

    Mark O'Brien coming on trial?

    This would be great, especially if we could sign his brother James. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jamie_O%27Brien_%28footballer%29 "Two Jim O'Briens.... there's only two Jim O'Briens" etc. I'll get me coat. I know a Brian O'Brien from County Clare too. What his parents were thinking I'm...

    New Signings: How early in the week?

    Bertie Groggins is sh*t, p*ss-poor scoring record, always injured. Can't believe we've signed him. Just thought I'd get there first. ;)

    Pre season Tour......of Ireland (or just Dublin)

    I went on what was (I think) the last pre-season to Ireland. Just after relegation, and just before Hartson left... From memory we played Bray, UCD and one or two others. Always a good place to visit, if this comes off I might try to wangle a trip over. :)

    Ched Evans

    She went to the hotel room with one man, Clayton. He (not the girl) invited Evans to join in via a telephone message. Evans then invited his brother and another man to flim them. The girl was so drunk that she'd already fallen over in front of Evans, and had actually lost her handbag earlier...

    Adam Barton confused by Coventry City's decision to let him go

    I'm guessing the non-footballing reasons were that TM has a limited budget and thinks he can get better value than Barton. I wish the bloke well, personally. There's a decent player in there somewhere, and maybe a new club will bring that out. However I'd trust TM's judgement on this.

    Ched Evans

    Before anyone here gets too confused about what 'consent' means, trouble yourself to read this article. http://selenenelson.co.uk/rapist-ched-evans-issue-consent/ There isn't anywhere near as much doubt as I think some would like to believe here.

    Ched Evans

    Absolutely. Having served your time most definitely does not allow you to follow a career path of your choosing, even if it was your previous career. It doesn't stop you following another line of work, but if you were a professional in the true sense of the word you'd most likely find yourself...

    Ched Evans

    Old news, and not a particularly helpful rumour to restart now I'd say. He's not signing. The Ched Evans twitter account that put this out there the last time was shown to be a fake. Please let's not kick this one off again!

    That Puma 87 Cup replica shirt

    It's designed like that to highlight your cleavage mate. Same reason it's a bit short at the back. ;)
