    Article: Player Ratings v Leicester

    Very harsh on Clingan, who looked a class act. When are fans going to realise that we need 2 more like him, he cannot run the midfield on his own when he has to nurse Gael, cover for the erratic Bell and Baker and try to rein in McSheff. 8/10 MOTM for my money.

    two new board members??

    The GEMS group are into privatising education and I have heard are in talks with Education Sec, Michael Gove to set up several academies. So, expect Coventry schools becoming academies might be weird link

    Season ticket holders - Where are you sitting?

    Block 23. Bit quiet and only a few idiots a few rows back.

    Jutkiewicz or Clingan?

    Agreeing with you again! + I would add that selling your captain after you have made a big song and dance about building the team around him would be very bad for the morale of the entire squad, not to mention the long suffering fans. For me it would feel like the final kick in the teeth and...

    Clouting on CWR

    Wake me up when they give us our club back.:thinking about: I'm so sick of hearing the bickering.:slap: Put a team on the pitch in sky blue or sling your hook.

    Released list from the Prem

    I don't agree that wages are such an issue. Most of these players will not get another Prem club so they have to take whatever they are offered, which means the Championship or abroad, unless they retire altogether. There are only a few Championship clubs who have a bigger budget than CCFC...

    Leonard Brody

    Agree 100% He didn't duck any questions and, amazingly, volunteered info which had not been asked for directly. Much better to listen to than Ranson, who always seemed to be reading from a press release. Time will tell. BTW where are Ranson and Hoffman, our Saviours, now? Same place as Joe...

    Female Mascot sacked for Underwear Pose

    Join the 21st century please chaps!:claping hands: A mascot should be to attract a family audience...kids. It is conduct unbecoming for a mascot to be doing girlie shots, which reduce females to sex objects.:facepalm: Actually you were wrong, there is a common theme to the MK saga >...

    Text Messages

    For me txts are just for quick messages like arranging events, what time etc. Many of my txts are one line or one word replies. I would never dream of sending a serious, relationship changing message. I would rarely do serious conversations by phone either. I talk to people face to face or I...

    Marlon will not sign

    Harsh comment Fans did not moan they had a moral objection, quite different.:facepalm: Some have accepted the decision. Many have not. No evidence that any "crawling back" has occurred.:thinking about: No need to slam people who disagree with your opinion.

    New kit

    Kay is right. Clearly women don't have arms or don't feel the cold.:facepalm: Discrimination is alive and well. Yet another example of the club having little interest in its female fans.:whistle:

    Kiing's contract...why such a short one?

    I think it was discussed at the time, certainly on other forums if not this one. It is the job of business people who draw up contracts to think of potential outcomes, positive and negative, then draw up a deal which gives a good outcome whatever transpires. A clause giving the club a one-year...

    Kiing's contract...why such a short one?

    When we offered MK a chance to revive his career why did we let him have the opportunity to walk away so soon? Could we not have inserted clauses which gave CCFC at least a one season option to extend the contract? Looks like Ranson missed another trick there?:facepalm: Now I think he got more...

    Sammy Clingan

    We should offer him captain's armband and a modest pay rise for next season and build the side around him.:D PUSB

    Just how good was Kieren Westwood

    Agree with johnniericoh 100% One thing overlooked about KW was obvious if you sit level with the 6 yard box, as I do. He is good on crosses into the centre but anything whipped across the 6 yard box to the far post has him in real bother. Of course, most keepers are weak in this area. Very good...

    Coventry City Ladies Promoted

    Just seems unnecessary to comment at all if you are not interested. It's like saying, "Well done, but I'm not into..........." seems rude and a put-down. Would you say the same to a paralympian who had won their event? By commenting I'm not interested in your sport you are undermining the...

    Coventry City Ladies Promoted

    Amazed you would admit to such a bigoted view in public.:o I bet you don't like female coppers, doctors, etc. Bit caveman...lil woman in the kitchen and the bedroom only? Ever thought of joining the 21st century? Perhaps the Taliban would welcome your view.:D Well done CCFC "Ladies"! I...
