    Thorn on replacing Marlon

    The truth will out .... http://www.coventrycity-mad.co.uk/news/tmnw/this_was_an_opportunity_i_had_to_take__king_681080/index.shtml So it was an opportunity he had to take was it ............ in that case the rubbish about the contract was totally irrelevant..... confirms what we all knew i...

    Alex McLeish leaves Birmingham

    what is going on in the 2nd city .......... not that i am crying over it. Birmingham seem in turmoil ..... hardly a team likely to mount a serious challenge as it stands - lost the 4 loan players - 10 players out of contract - other teams looking to buy Johnson, Dann and Jerome - owners...

    Thorn on replacing Marlon

    MK went for the money ..... more money than we can afford to pay ...... he went to a relegated team who have now lost their manager apparently because they dont have major funds to spend on players despite parachute payments. They are in the same division as us but likely to lose some of their...

    Marlon King's agent contacts City fan.

    errrr guys check out our own home page........ the "3" were offered contracts on or around 3rd May well over a month ago ...... if MK had been so desperate to sign he could have before going on holiday ...... (the holiday being the 2 weeks during which they didnt get the contract i guess). I...

    please define "family club" because what i see is a business run by a board who do not own a share in it on behalf of owners based in London. We the supporters are a valuable resource to the company and they encourage that support as best they can in order to maximise their take from it. The...

    Ann Lucas

    She is entitled to her opinion. I agree with her assessment of MK always have, but I can't agree with her method of protest. Above all I support the team not an individual however good or bad in character and thats my choice. Did i show support for MK's goals no and that was my protest. She...

    What's the attraction?!

    Firstly they wont go until they want to or the club goes bust - so "we" cant get SISU out. Secondly they didnt get us out of debt they took the debt over so that it is owed to them not banks and other third parties Third, per LB on CWR on friday there have been no serious offers seen from...

    Eastwood the egnigma

    no player is great all the time, but a few flashes of goal scoring in three years and no form before he joined us from Wolves do not indicate that a sudden change of form is around the corner. Would love him to have a great season next year but I wouldnt bet my mortgage on it. AT makes a big...

    Leonard Brody

    Didnt say he doesnt but that he doesnt fully understand it yet but he is learning quickly..... wasnt picking fault in saying that. Is how it is and to be expected from someone based in Canada. Fair play to him in my opinion

    Leonard Brody

    Will say from the start that I have never been a great fan of the Board or SISU, it isnt based on blind prejudice but what I perceive as the errors in judgement they have made in the last 3 years and the "miscommunication" they have peddled in that time. However the two interviews I have heard...

    well said AT !

    How quick will the club take repalce Marlon?

    Firstly I think Marlon may well come to regret moving to the worst scoring team in the premiership. It isnt that they lack goal scorers but they lack a free scoring team. Hope it continues. Dont think we should be looking to fill his boots as such. Any player we bring in will have their own...

    Phone in tonight on CWR

    to be honest i dont understand why people judge the club on any other basis Macca

    Phone in tonight on CWR

    Listened to Brody on radio whilst driving home. Have to say he talked a lot of sense As things have turned out we had a lucky escape because MK could have been "the franchise player" ....... other than his goals I cant think of any qualities he has shown for us to build the team and marketing...

    A summary - a personal opinion

    There have been a series of events that have been pretty sobering for any CCFC fan. Firstly, because it has been the most talked about, the King saga. This has been done to death so wont try to bore with a lengthy discussion. King did himself no favours and he and his agent caused a whole lot...

    New players

    I think now this sorry affair is done it would be in everyones interest for AT to activate his plan B and start bringing in his alternative targets as soon as possible. To wait would only dent the fans belief and confidence further. The fans more than ever now need at least a small statement of...

    Marlon Speaks Out!!!

    kind of ignores the fact he could have said ......."i have given my word to CCFC and away on holiday with my family. I will wait see what the paperwork says before making a final decision, as i am under contract till 1st July anyway and there is no rush. So being a man of my word I will do it...

    Martinez/Whelan at Wigan

    Martinez has always come across as a man whose word is his bond...... in that lays the difference

    Sorry if you've seen it. Or are bored. But clears everything up for me!

    not saying this is the case but....... it suits the club to have the events in this order because they dont get the stick from the fans MK does. Makes the club look like they did loads to keep him and were let down by MK's change of mind. Apparently didnt say anything until the agent was going...

    Clubs agree to financial framework

    The reason it is going to create havoc with CCFC isnt that it is a bad idea....... fiscal prudence and a stable finance base is essential........ but CCFC runs wages at 110% of turnover and that cannot be sustained (£10m total wage costs). The league are looking at limits of something like 70%...
