    Any new weekend paper stories on us?

    GB News? Don’t like it? Fair enough, don’t watch it. I’m not sure that they be de-platformed? No. Neither should Al-Jazeera or British Muslim TV. If any of those channels wanted to do a piece on CCFC then fine, it’s advertising for the club. Similarly, should the Trust decide that they don’t...

    Could the CBS Arena be extended?

    They increased the Rangers Ibrox capacity by lowering the pitch slightly in the 90s. I think this enabled some more rows at the front. Maybe that’s possible without disrupting the stadium structure.

    Transfer targets

    What’s 40/k a week? £2m? Not sure losing transfer fee covers.

    Transfer targets

    I agree wrt Gus and Vik. Our best bet will be to try to rely on a mixture of foreign prospects, top PL loanees and a couple of “been there seen it done it” fringe PL stars with release clauses so we don’t get stung. We will be hammered with agents offering us players if we go up.

    Transfer targets

    He’s unlikely to get a brilliant contract elsewhere given his results over the last couple of years. If he’s on £10/k a week plus as some have rationalised then he’s going to struggle to demand high money. He just hasn’t suited our style and system. The only way we should consider keeping...

    Var

    It’s a slight advantage to us, I feel. I can just see us getting a penalty on the day due to VAR. Mark this message.

    Doug King Loves it

    Minor point but it looks like Doug’s Mrs is catching the Sky Blue bug (I presume it’s his wife, the blonde lady sat with him the last couple of times he’s been at the match - correct me if I’m wrong please). Seems to be really caught up with it all. This is good. Better to have her onside...

    Oh we’re going to win with a Vik goal and it’ll piss off a certain sasshole that stalks this forum.

    Wilson 9 Clean sheet, out quickly when it mattered. I absolutely hate timewasting - unless it’s Ben Wilson. He’s got it to a fine art. RUN BNC 9 Still looks awkward as, telescopic legs and all that. Fine performance though. Kept Giles to long inaccurate crosses. McNally 9 Kept the...

    Match Thread Middlesbrough vs Coventry City Play off Semi final 2nd leg Match Thread - Wednesday 17th May

    Robins has made sensible changes. Get into them early and get them worried.

    Renaming of the Coventry Arena train line

    If Doug hadn’t got a bit cringe on social media we could legitimately advocate “The (new?) King’s Line” under the guise of coronation year and whatnot.

    Hoffman

    I think a lot of people were drawn into Ranson’s plan at the get go; Geoff Robinson, SISU and further down the chain Hoffman etc. That Ranson made the wrong calls in Coleman etc. and SISU sought to cut their exposure and try to sue CCC is hardly Hoffmann’s fault. Since then he’s seemed...

    Hoffman

    I think Hoffman just wanted to be up to date with the potential opportunities and got involved with everyone and anyone. I can see the strategy - be on the inside rather than miss the bus. As it turns out there seemed to be a load of chancers sniffing around. As it is, he seemed to have...
