    Lee Burge

    I think that some players will always be the bad guy in some supporters eyes. I am not the biggest fan of Lee Burge but I think he has improved greatly since first coming into the team. I thought he played well today, caught, punched and saved when he had to. No mistakes in these areas. His...

    The period between Jimmy Hill and Gordon Milne....

    Cantwell inherited some good players including products from the youth team like Willie Carr and Dennis Mortimer. However, he did also bring in some good players. Neil Martin was a great centre forward good on the ground and in the air. Ernie Hunt too was great to watch. He was oddly shaped for...

    The period between Jimmy Hill and Gordon Milne....

    Allison away from Joe Mercer had very little success. He got far more media attention than his record as a manager deserved because they saw him as a "character". Wasn't he also involved in instances of domestic violence? Not the nicest person I think.

    Rumour: Hoffman and Elliot takeover negotiations

    Couldn't be worse than Sisu themselves(could he?). Given his track record so far I wouldn't expect too many improvements.

    Rumour: Hoffman and Elliot takeover negotiations

    One of the problems with the current owners is their remoteness and secrecy. It is very hard to see how the club can be prised away from them. I cannot for the life of me see why Fisher, knowing what a basket case the club is and also knowing the intense dislike and mistrust that supporters have...

    Potential new BCFC stadium at NEC for Commonwealth Games

    Wouldn't we become tenants in the new stadium just like we are at the Ricoh. I would think a move out of the City to the NEC would really split the fan base even more

    The period between Jimmy Hill and Gordon Milne....

    Noel Cantwell is probably underrated for what he did. To join a team in desperate relegation trouble and turn them around so that they managed to stay up was an amazing feat really, particularly as it was his first managerial job and that he was following in the footsteps of JH. He also managed...

    Cov's obsession with...

    Lots of studies show that giving someone encouragement when they go about their task results in improved performance and greater productivity. Giving abuse severely affects their performance.

    A female's perspective on some of our fans

    Times have changed for the worse. I remember when first going up the City on a few occasions older blokes remonstrating with younger ones who swore in front of women or children. Do that now and you would be ridiculed and abused yourself. At Yeovil I was stood in front of some young bloke who...

    Booing of team... some thoughts

    I agree about the booing. Everyone in the away end wanted the team to play well and hopefully win, booing and hurling abuse can only help the opposite to happen. Also agree with the comment above. I don't think last season's relegation was down to lack of effort but due to the fact that some...

    The Worst Chairman

    He didn't make the decision to move us to Northampton? He isn't the advisor to Joy and co on matters to do with the club? He certainly showed plenty of passion and conviction for the move when he spoke at the forums and went on about 7k crowds if we were doing well. Is Joy feeding him all of...

    The Worst Chairman

    Wasn't the American team loss 700k?

    The Worst Chairman

    Fisher. The others at least had a notion of doing what is best for the club. After Northampton, how can anyone say that about Fisher?

    Chesterfield Highlights

    Yesterday at the game I thought Jones took a dive for the sending off. Having watched that it does seem he was brought down ( not that " felt a touch so went over " rubbish).

    Chesterfield Highlights

    I agree with you about McNulty. He did all of that yesterday with little or no service. He still took loads of abuse which I don't understand. The highlights do make things look better than they were. It was a terrible game with long passages of completely nondescript play, the sort of game that...

    Tim Fisher

    I don't agree with the way people at the station behaved towards him but I would wonder at his naivety in appearing at a place where he knew lots of disgruntled City fans were sure to be and expect nothing to happen. When he came to the Trust meeting he had a couple of blokes there to look after...

    Tim Fisher

    After the two wins at the start of the season it was mentioned by another poster that the concentration should be on supporting the team and not concerning ourselves about Sisu. I disagreed with this for the fact that others could then come back and say "well you weren't bothered about Sisu when...

    Match Thread Chesterfield - Coventry City Match Thread - Saturday 2nd Sep

    A lot of harsh comments on Beaven and McNulty. I just can't see how they are expected to be productive when the service they get is poor. Long balls lumped up to them that they have no hope of winning. I could understand it if we then picked up the second ball from the centre halfs clearance...

    Tim Fisher

    I think you are underestimating how angry people are with Sisu. I very much doubt that a last minute winner would have changed the reception that Fisher got today. What Sisu have done and are doing is far deeper than results.

    Muslim Coventry City Players

    Odd story about Hadji. Two of my boys were mascots in the home game at Highfield Road against Leeds that we lost 4-3 when Huckerby scored for Leeds. Part of the day was to go into the dressing room before the game and meet the players and Gordon Strachan and get their autographs. There was a lot...
