For sisu administration is not an option nor is it likely that a solvent business without outside creditors be able to go in to administration. If it is thought that distressing sisu at this point is anything other than distressing CCFC then you are mistaken. Not renewing because of poor product...

If our fans are serious about starting a fund to look at buying the club from the owners then I would be willing to contribute. I wouldn't mind who was the lead body in taking this forward and would offer any support I could muster from manning the turnstiles to making the pies. All I would ask...

The scoreboard was a gift from the Coventry Evening Telegraph. It was strange that you had so few turnstiles at the top of Swan Lane for the Kop which led you into a mud and concrete mound which the crows nest was perched upon. I watched the first couple of seasons in Division 1 and from all...

If we were at home I would rush from the game and wait for the Pinks to arrive with a group of about 20 men and boys, get the Final scores and read the stop press to see how the local non league sides had done then turn to the inside page to see how Cov Rugby had fared. If we were away and I...

My 51st season too and I will be forever Sky Blue, as my brick at the Ricoh states, I had a wobble during the Northampton episode but my heart belongs to Coventry City, always has always will. My message to the owners is simple - step up or step out!

We scraped through to the transfer window and lost Kent and then sold Maddison( not the same after the transfer) we then went for experience, which the fans were asking for, and when that bombed we spiraled downwards. The manager failed to respond, failed to inspire and motivate and the players...

My post was aimed at the CovCity4life but I take your point and in response I accept when you say that fans take a simplistic view. Good results equals good manager and shit results equals Russell Slade, however it doesn't tell the whole story does it? Some were asking for league one specialist...

Like at some point you must stop trying to defend Mowbray!

Bodak was a player who never fulfilled his potential, had moments of magic though. How I wish I had the ability to play one game for the Sky Blues, I, too, would have lived off that for the rest of my life!

I can sort of understand the OP stance on this but I think that the message is totally wrong to blame the fans for being fickle at this juncture. I wish we were more loyal like Norwich fans, as vocal as Crystal Palace fans or that we had the away support of Leeds but we don't and I applaud the...

Personally I enjoy the coverage of CCFC on the telegraph web pages, its free, it covers my football team and gives us precedence over the premier sporting club in the city and it is not the fault of Simon Gilbert or the CT that the club is in such a bad state, they just report it as they find...

At the Regents Park Marriott in 96 Jimmy Hill indeed did say that about Ernie Machin and he said he never caused a problem at all which could not be said of Ian Gibson. He also said it was the happiest time of life and that of his parents.

Steve Hunt was a wide player, not a central midfielder otherwise we would have been inundated with posts about the great Tommy Hutchison.

Yeah its a right mess for Wasps, I wonder if they regret buying the Ricoh? top of the Premiership, later stages of European cup, several lifetimes lease of stadium, near capacity crowds,I could go on......... They came, they saw, they conquered. But lets wait for them to fail, it looks that way...

If Coventry City had moved into a council owned stadium with Wasps then it would have been like an ACMilan/internazionale situation of ground share. They would have office and admin and training facilities independent to each other and use the stadiums on match day. Both would be responsible for...

This post should be kept as an aid to all that want a brief run through of where we are as a football club.

Wasps are embedded in the city now, they don't need a league two bound football club to sweeten any deal, we are the ones who need them.

Its safe to say that even now with a different approach(as Nick has often pointed out) so much more could be achieved. What has happened with sisu can't be undone for some but by reaching out and softening their stance and improving the communication with the fans and stakeholders a different...

"I suspect without Wasps they would be losing vast amounts and probably with them and us and all the other Ricoh business through the week they should be doing quite nicely." I am well aware, which is why the sentence above was included. From 2001 to 2007 I worked for Compass and we had many...

There is and always has been confusion about Compass contract, it was a joint venture partnership aimed at providing a great hospitality package and provide the club with a guaranteed percentage of profit. In the catering world 5% profit is a great deal considering all staffing and product costs...
