    Liquidation

    I think it is only a last resort to resurrect the club if Sisu do pull the trigger. I know from a Trust meeting I attended some years ago that they had plans in place if the worst came to the worst. I would have thought that that is how things ought to be. I have honestly never heard anyone say...

    Liquidation

    That’s everyone isn’t it? Who are the fans who want liquidation? Who are the Trust board members who want us to go bust? I don’t think the few people on here attacking the Trust are the only ones who want the club to survive, do you? It is the notion that because the Trust were the only fan...

    Liquidation

    I can’t see why any City fan would want liquidation. As the Trust are simply a group of City fans who follow home and away, I can’t see why they would want it either. They certainly have no control or input into the process.

    Match Thread Wycombe Wanderers vs. Coventry City Match Thread - Tuesday 1st Jan

    I went to Wycombe last year when the game was played in the middle of the “ Beast from the East “ period and was the second coldest I have ever been at a football match (first place goes to Wimbledon at the hockey stadium in MK). The current mild weather is spring like in comparison. I think we...

    Liquidation

    I think the only people who would liquidate CCFC is Sisu, hasn’t Seppala threatened already to do this? Why would liquidation therefore be down to anyone else but them? So the Trust and Sisu now conspiring together to get rid of CCFC? As I said, if this happens it will be down to Sisu and the...

    The one from outside of the box? Agree with the one with his left foot before this.

    ) The Law is there, why don’t they use it? It might stop the keeper of the team who is leading falling over and lying on the ball every time he makes a catch. Drives me up the wall.

    Sunderland Documentary

    The thing about football is that most people who go are committed to one team or another, they go wanting their team to win, not just hoping for a good game. It is curious therefore, that some of these people, despite wanting their team to win, hurl abuse at their own players, making a winning...

    That’s a bad thing? You would want him not to be good in our own box? You just wouldn’t want him back for corners and free kicks?

    True, but generally he is good at winning headers in our penalty area.

    Match Thread Coventry City vs. Charlton Athletic Match Thread - Wednesday 26th Dec

    Until the Luton and Shrewsbury games, l was very optimistic of ba play off place. Those performances were so poor and flat winning the amount of games needed seemed beyond us. The way we played yesterday against a good third division team has reignited my belief! We need another good run now to...

    I did wonder if Robins brought JCH on yesterday as much for his defensive qualities as his attacking ones. Charlton won 4 headers in our box for their goal. If JCH had of been on the pitch would we have conceded?

    Play like that I still think we can make the play offs. Might depend on whether Thomas can play for us again.

    Disallowed Goal

    Just mentioned this in the video thread. JCH was offside, but when Chaplin shot, made no move to get the ball. The keeper saved the shot but pushed it forwards and out to JCH who scored. Wouldn’t this constitute a new phase of play making JCH onside as he shot? Asking the question, don’t know...

    Wasn’t the consensus that Forte’s goal was wrongly disallowed?

    Video Shrewsbury v Coventry

    I thought they might show the disallowed goal. Watching yesterday, Chaplin’s shot was heading goalwards, JCH, in an offside position makes no move to go for it. The keeper saves, but pushes it out to JCH who scores. Would this not constitute a second phase of play, therefore JCH being onside as...

    A way out of signing Chaplin?

    He’ll get them back as soon as he starts scoring regularly which I think he will.

    Wasps on the up? I hope not!

    A friend of my son came with us to the Stoke game last season. This guy lives in Tamworth and attends the occasional Wasps game. Now the atmosphere was really crackling during this match with only 14k in attendance. That atmosphere continued after the game as people were leaving the stadium...

    Coventry's best ever manager?

    It is hard to look past the managers who actually won things so JH and John Sillett would have to be bat the top of the list, particularly Jimmy Hill for the way he totally transformed the club. My favourite manager though was Gordon Milne. He signed my favourite ever City player, Tommy...
