    Relegation thread

    At this rate Coventry United will cross us being relegated as they are promoted. There is one thing to look forward to and that is being able to walk your dog whilst watching us play on a park pitch in the Sunday league. Many thanks to our fantastic leadership over 20 years

    RCC

    RCC is a talented keeper and goalkeepers tend to reach their peak at a later age than outfield players. So, rather than abuse RCC, a bit of support is needed, especially when we consider the average age of the defence in front of him.

    Coventry City fans to discuss possibility of supporter-led takeover

    A positive move, if only to explore the options on articles of association, general rules, etc. Obviously, the structure of any replacement business to the current one will need careful consideration, but has the potential to be more transparent and open to scrutiny

    Alan McCormack

    We have consistently said that our squad needs some more experience to support our younger players, but if we sell Willis, Stevenson and Harries were starting to run short of youngsters that need help.

    Right back or holding midfield player. I think he's 32

    What's your tipping point?

    Which goes to show that the population of Coventry & Warwickshire will support a successful team. The ice hockey team also had great support when they were winning.

    The pies and pasty issue - the plot thickens

    Piegate is a distraction. The facts are that CCFC is a tenant and we have a contract with the operators. The details of that contract determine the services available and the specification of those services. Given that CCFC are not challenging the withdrawal of the pies, suggests it was not...

    What's your tipping point?

    Thanks for reply. I did question my sanity in posting this one, but sometimes an alternative view can help. I've worked on some major sports infrastructure projects over the years, but it's very difficult for a LA to make ends meet. So they have to wheel and deal....and hence the private sector...

    What's your tipping point?

    The is one element to consider in regard to councils behaviour across England and that is the current financial environment which they are working to. They'll be member of this forum who'll have lost jobs with local authorities in recent years and the decrease in available funds is driving...

    What's your tipping point?

    I'm currently hanging on to memories of CCFC from 66-67 season onwards, so I've been really lucky to have lived through a lot of good times and passionate "great escapes". The TF recent interview was the closest I've been to giving up on the club. The leadership are responsible for the Vision...

    Name this player..........

    It's definitely Bryan King. Who came to us with a big reputation and disappointed. I saw him cost us the game at Villa in the early 70's

    SISU 2016 Accounts

    The zombie club business model doesn't give us any hope of ever being successful. It makes me wonder "what's the point of supporting CCFC"? Unless you get enjoyment out of seeing a poor quality football team with no prospects of success. Depressing! It feels like a deliberate strategy to punish...

    Who is the fine finisher on the right hand side

    I always thought that Aloisi was a signing that wee Gordon never sanctioned!

    What a fab picture of one of our former players

    Add Sandy Robertson to that list!

    Why is Coventrys academy so good?

    In higher divisions managers do not provide the level of opportunities for player development, as they are short term and need instant results. At CCFC the manager has to use the academy products, due to the paucity of resources and that is to our young players benefit. I know from other clubs...

    Investment on the Horizon?

    I understand that the housing strategy for Warwickshire is being finalised and will report in late January.

    Holding Wasps to Account

    The other point is the volume of sales that CCFC generates. There was a quote [not sure how accurate it was...] that stated WASPS games generates four times the volume of food and drink sales than CCFC.

    Holding Wasps to Account

    When CCFC returned to the Ricoh they negotiated a contract of service with the operators. The level of provision of food, etc would be covered in the schedules attached to the contract. Given SISU's default position of placing any partner in court for breach of contract, then the question we...

    She's only here to see what else she can sell off.
