Fair comments with regard to the players named above. The problem with Mowbray was that he felt shafted by SISU when they made to the decision to sell Maddison in the January transfer window last year and did not reinvest in the playing squad. It gave him and what was at the time a talented...

So to clarify, you hold Tony Mowbray responsible for us being 8 points adrift of safety in League One tonight?

I will keep going because it's something I can share with my 14 year old son. It's him and others of his age I really feel for. When I was a year or two older than my son is now I used to go to watch City at places like Anfield and Old Trafford. Now it's trips to the likes of Oldham and...

Eoin Doyle went there as Paul Cook is Portsmouth manager and Doyle previously played for Cook at Chesterfield. A real shame because Doyle would have scored goals. As it stands we just don't have the goalscorer to get us out of trouble.

Oh yes he does. He has it bang on. SISU are still here because they do not wish to crystallise their loss in CCFC. Until they do we're knackered.

Depressing but true. It's clear that all SISU care about going forward is running the club at break even and not wanting to write off their investment on an exit from CCFC. Unsure as to how much and exactly where this investment lies within SISU's books but clearly this is an issue.

I think the most interesting point that Fisher made last night was about SISU not wishing to crystallise the loss they have made in CCFC. Surely this is the only reason why SISU are still here and I think he rather let the cat out of the bag on this. I guess we're just at the mercy of accounting...

Which it Isn't

Yes. It's obvious. SISU have a £60m investment they don't won't to crystallise as a loss. Surround it with legals and convince everyone it's recoverable,

For the avoidance doubt my question is can you name cities in England of a similar size to Coventry who do not have a football club in a better position both on and off the pitch than CCFC.

You need to answer my question.

OK so name similar sized cities with a demographic similar to Coventry whose football clubs are in as bad a state as CCFC

And we should expect to be in the Championship or Premier League. Because CCFC is the only football club in a large, predominantly working class city, comparisons with Fleetwood are not appropriate. We have a huge latent fan base and spent 37 consecutive seasons in The top flight of English...

I'll throw in that Vincelot was on £2k a week last season and is now on £2.2k a week at Bradford

If SISU go we'll stay at the Ricoh.

Vincelot was sold in the summer as he was a high earner on £2k a week.

And I bet both Rotherham and Mowbray wished he'd been appointed there now. Kelvin Wilson, who signed for Rotherham rather than CCFC in the summer, has been absolutely dire for them this season.

If Mowbray is to stay he will have to change our playing style. We simply do not have the players to play effective, possession based football this season. If he persists with trying to play this way, we will be relegated 'We let far too many good players go and failed to replace the quality...

I don't disagree with any of that and it's no silver bullet. Struggling to see a way out of this mess to be honest though, as I suspect are our owners!
