    Transfer Rumour 25/26 Summer Transfer Window

    You certainly can't fault BTA's effort. I quite like him for that, although sometimes his running does tend to be of the headless chicken variety 😊

    Transfer Rumour 25/26 Summer Transfer Window

    That's my take as well. He looked decent at times in the season before last and certainly scored enough goals to keep most of us happy. I don't know why he was so poor last year, other than the fact that I still believe that if his confidence dips because he isn't starting or isn't scoring he...

    Transfer Rumour 25/26 Summer Transfer Window

    I'm not going to get too excited yet about the prospect of Bertaccini signing, given that reportedly Norwich and Southampton are both after him as well. Southampton have got the financial muscle to outbid us on fees and wages and Norwich probably can if Sargent goes. I reserve the right to get...

    Diogo Jota

    Terrible news. My thoughts and prayers go out to the family and friends of both players. My wife is particularly saddened by the news as she is a lifelong Wolves fan.

    What decade did you start supporting Coventry?

    I wrote to Jimmy Hill in 1964, asking if I could be a ball boy. I had a nice reply, signed by him, thanking me for my interest and saying that I would be put on the waiting list and he would contact me when I reached the top of it. It must have been a long list because that was 61 years ago and...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    I agree. It is also often the case that someone buying shares doesn't raise a farthing for the company because the trade is a sale by an existing shareholder. The company only raises capital if it is an issue of new shares, whether on a listing or otherwise. Building Societies and other...

    First music bought

    The Planet Suite by Gustav Holst. I would have been about ten at the time, so probably in 1965. It was the version by the London Symphony Orchestra, although this is a later recording from which I have just taken Mars as the Planet of the Day 🙂 Other planets are available 👍

    Milan Van Exit

    I'd love it if Milan stayed but realistically I can't see it happening. If we get a good fee for him and spend it well it could even turn out to be a good thing. Getting KKH in early looks like good business to me.

    What was your mothers maiden name & the name of your first pet when you first started supporting Coventry?

    My mother's maiden name is the same as the password for my Swiss bank account and my first pet's name is the same as the password for my Grand Cayman account 👍

    Transfer Rumour Kaine Kesler-Hayden

    I agree. I think it was a miracle that MVE played virtually the whole of nearly every game for us last season. If only Sheaf had that degree of stamina and resilience to injury.

    Transfer Rumour Kaine Kesler-Hayden

    It would be good on a traditional hot sponge dessert. We could call it sticky toffolo pudding 👍

    Transfer Rumour Kaine Kesler-Hayden

    A nice sauce to go with the Fettuccine would be good 👍

    Transfer Rumour 25/26 Summer Transfer Window

    Do we know that? I suspect that he has just capitalised money he is owed by the club, in which case it strengthens the balance sheet but without any new money coming in.

    Good win for Lando. I thought he drove well to keep Piastri at bay. Shame about Verstappen 😆

    Who was in goal the furst game you saw ?

    I'm 70 and I have no idea what you are saying. 😆

    Who was in goal the furst game you saw ?

    Same for me. F.A. cup Fifth round and we won 2-1 👍

    CCFC Fixture List 2025 / 2026

    It would be nice not to be hovering in or around the relegation zone come the end of October 🙂

    Carabao Cup Draw

    I would like us to take the FA cup reasonably seriously but I’m really not bothered about the other cup competitions. Promotion has to be our priority.

    Transfer Rumour 25/26 Summer Transfer Window

    Allen might be moved on if we can get an upgrade at a reasonable price I’m more than happy to keep him. He is a very decent player with energy and a good attitude. He’s a good option to bring on with 20-30 minutes to go when others are tiring.
