    EFL to end season this week - City likely to be promoted

    Both rather fortunate. Wycombe especially so.

    EFL to end season this week - City likely to be promoted

    So a PPG NOT weighted PPG is the decision. And 4 into the playoffs. I can't remember now but how does that effect the table again?

    Surely Mark won’t go

    So on that basis who do you think will do better next year Birmingham City or Coventry City? I think Robins would be confident of doing better than Birmingham City tbh. Now if Derby, Forest came calling it could be a different story but even then as 'better days' says he has built this club...

    Surely Mark won’t go

    If he was approached I'm sure he would turn it down flat. We are in the same league now and we are a one City club on the up. Brum are a perenial championship side in the shaddow of Villa. all it ould do is increase MR's contract pay to keep him and ensure SISU also backed him for the cause...

    Memorial Park Gathering??

    There will be a time and place to celebrate soon enough.

    8 years progress or regression

    50 odd years of decline I think someone was intimating? WTF. 34 spent in the premier league as it's known these days. Many only remember the bad days of relegation struggles, but reality is we had plenty of success there. Qualifying for Europe, winning an FA Cup when it actually meant something...

    A dilemma-what would you do?

    Oh my shall we talk China too? None of it is that simple is it? Investment comes from all manner of sources in all manner of guises. If a murderer was chairman you would have a point. I'm moraly opposed to it and China but pragmatic enough to understand opening up these countries to our world...

    8 years progress or regression

    In simple terms not owning the Ricoh is a good thing. No overheads. Renting it at a reasonable rent but maintaining all the rights to the income from match days would be less compromising in many ways than trying to outright own your stadium. It's really a matter of the pros and cons you are...

    Transfer Rumour Callum O'Hare - Confirmed

    Think you are underestimating O'Hare. A very good player while with us and a good reason we are top of the league, he is a class above in league 1 and certainly a good championship player who will keep developing. As good as Grealish? No not yet but will be. Surpised Villa are not keeping him...

    Championship favourite fixtures....

    WASP struggle to mkae it work and can't maintain the upkeep. have you looked close at the stadium. I hope SISU would be a bidder if they still owned CCFC. As for Coventry RFC, how on earth would they sustain thie presence? As for taxpayers yes they would be bothered to lose the only stadium for...

    Championship favourite fixtures....

    I get it...be controversial. Meanwhile I'll go to Derby, Norwich, Villa, Forest.

    Championship favourite fixtures....

    Open bidding? How many suitors and who exactly? The lease reverts back to the council. The stadium is much older now and in need of maintence and upgrades. What price do you think a lease could be sold for? What price the council pay attention to it's own clause that whoever owned it made...

    Championship favourite fixtures....

    If such a scenario happened, what other major club in any sport would the council have queuing up then? The list is a short one and the people of Coventry/taxpayers I think would have a lot to say this time around.

    Most Shocked About A Result

    A memorable defeat for me was at home to Everton. It was the late 70's I think when Howard brought his football playing side to Highfield Road and they dish out a class footballing lesson. It was so good to watch. Anyone old enough to remember that day?

    Matty Godden

    Don't underestimate Godden. he is a far better striker than McNulty. Championship may well suit his game. I would agree another good striker will be required to push him. I fear that will need to be a loan from a premiership club. The question is who?

    Matty Godden

    His awareness and movement off the ball are quality and confident finishing. I think he will step up just fine. Will need good support and certainly we will need a good back up pushing him. Can Biamou fill that role? Ideally goals scored will keep you in the championship, so maybe a top striker...

    Netflix

    I used to like him as a player, grounded and honest. But since he has become this media person, his persona and largely his opinions have become irratating.
