Robins writes: 'People talk about a 12th man – well, the Coventry supporters are exactly that. The role they’ve played in rebuilding the club can’t be overstated. With them behind you, you feel like you can achieve anything.' We can't control the politics around being back at St. Andrews and...

I think in many ways we're on the same page mr_m. We both agree on the previous strategy. That failed as CCC found Wasps. Given the failure of the Wasps experiment in Coventry; I don't see another team from outside Cov beating a path to set up at the Ricoh (if Wasps go). I just take the...

Bloody hell Dreamer - don't destroy all hope for the future my friend :) I'm desperately trying to find an outcome that is ultimately good for us fans!

Easy mr_m. In all commercial negotiations that I've been involved in....NDAs are executed. There are no innocent parties here - SISU/Wasps/CCC have always acted in line purely with their own objectives. That's commercial life and they are all trying to achieve highest returns on their...

Respectfully disagree Mr_M. Simply because there's no other buyer for the Ricoh; if there's only one buyer in town CCC has no other option. That will be the perfect end game for SISU and also arguably for the Club.

I can understand what SISU is trying to do - as before try to get the stadium on the cheap and take no prisoners in doing so. By distressing Wasps out of operation and being then being the only team in the city with a use for the stadium - they might even achieve this. That's a good outcome...

On what evidence Garry? The same was said last season when Max stepped up to L1 after a long injury lay off. Once up to full speed he did not look out of place in any way, and in terms of power and technique I would say he's one of the best in the squad. That goal vs. Peterboro as a best case...

I have never been more invested in a pre-season friendly. You can already see the potential in our team - we're not playing mugs and we're weeks behind in preparation.

Easy on Jack Burroughs lads. He's a 19 year old midfielder playing out of position at right wing back against the likes of Ryan Kent in our first pre-season game. Given the age and inexperience of our defenders, keeping this to 0-0 so far is impressive.

Not to make an immediate judgment 15 minutes into a friendly but Hamer looks absolute class.

I agree with all of this. What I think is clear is that SISU has always been motivated to buy the Ricoh on the cheap. Not being judgmental on that; they are a venture capital company seeking a return for their investors. They tried various tactics first time around to get the Ricoh on the...

cc84cov, always enjoy your posts but in this case you're relegating Giles to the bench (after seeing him play for all of 19 minutes) in favour of a player who's been linked to about 10 clubs no doubt by his agent....seems pre-emptive even by our very high standards! not many on here (including...

Ian Wallace drove by us on the Foleshill Rd in a sponsored car in the late 70s - as a young kid who idolised Wallace it made my day/week/month. Sign of the times as well. Pretty certain that I will never see an elite Premiership footballer on the Foleshill Road again!

It's City and we often have pre-season disasters; best case in point Lee Hurst and Gouldy's brilliant idea to have the lads train on army assault course. O'Hare. Cruciate. First 10 minutes. Season ending injury. Later blamed on match fitness. Instant throw away of the Sky Blue Afro that I have...

I agree N4ted. Last season Godden wasn't match fit when he arrived, then played through an injury for quite a few games - that's very very difficult as the lone striker and always being outnumbered. It was only in the last 3rd of the season that we began to see the best of Godden - and he...

Fantastic to have 2 top quality signings on the books at this time - Hamer and O'Hare. And if we're looking for pace in the back 3; DaCosta could be just the player we need. What is really exciting is how we build on this. I'm sure there will be another couple of permanent signings. But...

Note to stadium announcer. Do your job, be prepared and ready to play 'Pump it Up' to celebrate every O'Hare goal.

Usually agree with you Dreamer but slightly different views on this one. Not buying into the current fashion of players being played out of position and suddenly becoming Championship superstars (for example the idea of playing Pask in midfield and someone else was suggesting switching Dabo...

Agreed with a lot of what I'm reading; this analysis is flawed in many ways. What we do know is that Robins selects on performance vs. having his own 'signings on the pitch.' If it's not working out then he's pretty ruthless in changing things; Ogogo, Brown and Chaplin for example arrived with...

Don't really get the hate towards Lee Burge to be honest. Denigrating ex-players makes us look totally classless. Burge was with us from the age of 18 and in his time here had some fantastic games; Notts County away was one of them. As with most keepers he's going to make mistakes - look...
