    Questions for Simon Gilbert

    I got caught looking at pictures of tarts on the internet recently, the missus still hasn't forgiven me. ;) (Just thought I'd get there first!)

    Byng still interested in the club

    Mate, I've known you long enough through this forum. No need to worry about me lending it you, I'll just give you the fiver. Get yourself a pint with the change. ;)

    Byng still interested in the club

    C'mon fellas - 'genuine'? He's been chucked out of his own professional association for dishonorable conduct, that doesn't qualify as 'genuine' to me. At one point his 'backers' couldn't work out how to send an email, which was laughable. Then it changed to them not understanding the...

    Byng still interested in the club

    You'd think if Chinese investors were so worried about the legalities of the Ricoh issue they'd steer well clear of a man who has been chucked out of his professional institution. Personal opinion: Byng hasn't got any significant backers, and this is some kind of a pipe dream or even worse a...

    City fans not as friendly at Brentford as at Sixfields?

    Violence is never right, though it now seems this has been downgrading to jostling and throwing beer rather than anything more serious. Either way, unacceptable imho. Having said that, I wonder what is in Fisher's (and Labovitch's) mind. Do they really think it's simply a few malcontents in...

    Steven Pressley says it's vital Coventry City keep hold of star striker Callum Wilson

    No, but given he was injured from March until the end of that season I wonder how much interest there might have been for him. Wilson's a rather different prospect, I'd say, particularly given his age. When we were a championship club looking to buy young players to improve and then move on at...

    Steven Pressley says it's vital Coventry City keep hold of star striker Callum Wilson

    So you think Wilson will still be here next season then?

    Steven Pressley says it's vital Coventry City keep hold of star striker Callum Wilson

    I think the odds are that even if Wilson did want to stay, the owners will sell him. If they do that over SP's head he may not like it very much. My gut feel is that if we're still at Northampton next year Wilson will definitely go (to fund the shortfall), and SP may well go (combination of...

    Judicial Review thread

    Joking aside, I think the Higgs/SISU court case will end up showing a lot of the evidence that SISU intend to put up for the JR. Should be interesting - that's on April 1st.

    Judicial Review thread

    Blimey, that's keen. Is the team sheet available yet?

    Best opposition player you've seen

    I remember Michael Owen having a blinder against us at Highfield Road - really was a different class that day. He got a deserved ovation from the whole ground when finally subbed. Proud to be a fan that day, never hurts to acknowledge true class, even in the opposition (imho).

    Statement Issued By Sky Blue Trust

    Never works if you have to explain it :D Given all of the crap that was thrown at them last time, I suspect Steve will be delighted to be in Preston. Ahem. ;)

    Petrasso on a Season Long Loan?

    I'd agree with that. Interesting that my mate, a die-hard QPR fan, had never heard of him. Probably a good thing if we're trying to hold onto him. ;)

    What is the point ?

    "Ignore" is rather excellent. It gives you the added satisfaction of knowing that anyone firing a cheap shot to try and get a rise out of you just ends up sitting there, frustrated. Cheers me up no end. Recommended. :) Edit: (There's only one on my list fwiw - don't doubt that I'm on few...

    Statement Issued By Sky Blue Trust

    What, you mean this article here? http://www.theguardian.com/football/blog/2013/dec/02/coventry-city-owners-northampton-league-one-sisu No sign of a retraction - I guess on that basis that SISU's threats of legal action were a tale full of sound and fury, signifying nothing. About time they...

    Top gear racism row

    Definitely a derogatory term, although I've only seen it used by Americans talking about the Vietnamese war. I watched Top Gear, and didn't notice this as aimed at anyone - this bridge really did have a slope (i.e. tilt) from one side to another. Maybe I missed the reference. I wouldn't put...

    Statement Issued By Sky Blue Trust

    Could it be that the reason that SISU keep going on about it is to divert attention from all of the obvious questions about the accounts? If the SBT insisted that the board of CCFC were changed, because they couldn't trust (say) Fisher and Labovitch, what do you think SISU would say? The...

    Tim Fisher

    You know what, having seen that I genuinely feel a bit sorry for the bloke. All politics aside, he's still a human being - no one wants to be hated... surely he never meant it to go this way.

    Boundary Blindness

    Hold up a second here - this is about LEPs and business initiatives, it's hardly tanks rolling over the border in a land grab for Nuneaton & Bedworth. Outside of local politics, I don't think this is particularly big story. I don't doubt that Coventry City Council has faults, but if you're...

    Relegation & Points Deduction

    Football League 'Rules', don't make me laugh. It's more like the Pirate's Code, and as you may recall from the movies 'the code is more what you'd call "guidelines" than actual rules.' :)
