    Head of Recruitment Interview

    I think you are right about SISU although their better record is a bit "Robins dependent" they have made 9 managerial appointments iirc, of which only Robins x 2 and Mowbray x 50% have worked

    Head of Recruitment Interview

    Our panic buys last year were Davies (which has worked) and JCH (who has been moved on) otherwise we seem to stick to loans. This is much much less risky, and so a better way to do panic acquisitions. Sometimes do you need to panic, and we needed an alternative to Max up front last season as...

    Robins / Seppala Meeting at Coombe Abbey

    Why a meal out? Why her and not Fisher? Is it? "The deal is done Mark, now lets celebrate", or "Mark please reconsider your resignation?" Or "Mark I've booked a suite upstairs for an afternoon's slap and tickle" C'mon you Kremlin watchers what does it all mean

    This is one measure that is in the eye of the beholder. Un the Proof of Funds point is well expressed and should be noted by readers

    Breaking- New Consortium Bid

    I actually think, after a decade of cock ups, Fisher has worked out how to run the finances of a lower league team, what the numbers are, what you need to spend, and how. However it does depend on having a good manager and thus far Robins is the only good one he has ever found out of 9...

    Breaking- New Consortium Bid

    In terms of the budget for player acquisition and wages - the key measure for fans - Hoffman is unlikely to be much different from the current day to day set up under SISU. They do not seem to have the muscle to be sugar daddies, so it would be as you were.

    Isn't the problem (Problems, problems I hear you say) that if SISU lose their action, then Wasps, whom you all hate, will be in charge in perpetuity and will have CCFC over a barrel regarding rent. But at the same time a new stadium is probably not commercially viable without the arrival of a...

    Match Thread Coventry City vs. Oxford United Match Thread - Saturday 23rd Mar

    Easy win, even though they have something to play for. We have come a long way since the dross served up in Oxford for the League Cup (or whatever you call it). That was a really bad night out 2 or 3 - nil to us. I'd love Bayliss to score a solo goal just to shut the moaners up

    If you think Hiwula is rubbish then you are clueless

    My four-pennyworth on Hiwula is 1. He is not that good at the grunt work of being a striker. That is just the player he is, but you need someone to do that job as Max did last year.. 2. But a high % of his goals are made by his own effort from very unpromising positions - long runs from the...

    SISU Statement - Article From Sky Sports

    I always have thought SISU were sold a pup by Ray Ranson. That they are currently running the club in a manner like most others at our level. Funding a loss That does not exclude their appalling behavior, including the Court cases Nor will I ever understand why they haven't cut and run But I...
