It'll be Hockaday and/or MacFarlane. Anyone else is just wishful thinking. Temp till end of the season and then because it's SISU, they will give him a 25 year contract and his own statue.
I suspect as SISU had broken the terms of their tenancy by withholding rent that there was no legal compunction for CCC to inform them of the change of direction, however, how much of this mess could have been avoided if they had?
I agree there is no logic to it, totally agree with that but there is also no logic in being there temporarily either.
If we agree that they wont build a new stadium and we see no realistic option for a Ricoh return, what option does that leave? Staying in Northampton? Ground sharing somewhere...
Thats what i said when the notion of leaving the Ricoh was first mooted. Not a chance I said. Then look what happened......
With each passing day i am more and more convinced that the plan is to stay in Northampton and become franchise FC
Maybe so. I just have this awful feeling that Sixfields is now our permanent home. A name change from Coventry City to something less geographically specific is surely not far away.
Just to consider our stadium issues from a more realistic perspective for a minute.......... what happens if Northampton get relegated as seems likely? They are not rolling in cash, an immediate return to the league could be tricky, especially with what funds they have been tied up in the...
I will always support CCFC for as long as the club exists BUT at the moment all that consists of is checking for the results and going to the odd away game. I won't go to Northampton on principle and thats not going to change.
It's not easy to support the team when I live so far away and the...
I think we will see a lot of this kind of reporting from North of the border now. Pressley is quite a big name up there now, his excellent work with us has only increased that so now, whenever the Record are having a slow news day sportswise it becomes an easy story to link a popular Scottish...
Im doing a little bit of cycling, nothing major, just riding up to the station when its not peeing down and the odd weekend jaunt around the local reservoir chain. Hoping to build it up a little bit as time goes on. Hiking will always be my main leisure activity though, lucky enough to live in...
S'ok, ill just stand further away.
Edit: An ironic thought just struck me, a target of Timmys size, i'd have to stand a fair distance away to make it a challenge, say, oh i don't know, about 35 miles perhaps? :D
I have found myself with a lot of free time on my hands lately because A) My employers are fuckwits and I've stopped giving a shit about doing anything other than the bare minimum B) I have sold my classic cars and C) I am not spending weekends trekking to the Ricoh.
So, that being the case...
Why do footballers (and managers come to that) always feel the need to repeat themselves over and over again? Whenever a player talks to the press they always state the same thing at least 10 times....
It was a difficult decision to leave Coventry but I really wanted to go back to Wolves. That...
Mifsud is the obvious one, McSheffrey possibly but he did have a reasonable spell for Birmingham to begin with, I still don't believe he wanted to go anyway, club wanted the cash for him and that was that. Tabb, Never set the world alight post Cov.
Too early to say on Bigi, he's got time on...
I probably would go to watch Sphinx at the Ricoh, just as I have been to Sphinx drive a few times (and would again no doubt). It would not be a replacement for CCFC but i have a soft spot for Sphinx as a secondary team and would like to see them progress and do well, irrespective of what...
Perfectly sound logic which is exactly why it won't happen. Sisu are just waiting to get their grubby mits on the Ricoh, they just don't want to stump up the market value
I won't go to Bedworth any more than I would go to Northampton, be it 35 yards or 35 miles outside of the city boundary makes no difference, its got to be in Cov or nowt.
To be honest I am not sure at this point if I would go to another stadium even if it was in Cov. Playing in some tinpot...
