    What they want

    As Grendel says they could be joining Elvis down the pub for a pint of mild and asking the clowns to drink it.

    The Old Black

    That was by far the best game Young had in a Coventry shirt, I liked him but he turned out to the warm up act for Tommy Hutchison a year later.

    The Old Black

    Can't answer the goalie question but the Everton number nine was a player who turned out to be a fantastic striker for Ipswich, Liverpool and England- David Johnson.

    Yes respect! How about a Go Wasps!!! Ricketts?

    Player expectations> Interesting comments from Peterborough owner

    The PFA act as agents and have done for years. It's the players who want to have their own agents to maximize their opportunities outside the game as well as their club contracts.

    Player expectations> Interesting comments from Peterborough owner

    McAnthony is saying anything new or revolutionary in his piece. He is applying common sense which is commendable at their level and even more so in league 2. Fans believe that players get great contracts but the reality is that clubs by and large have had to cut their cloth and they can't give...

    Tel Gibbo

    The thing about that night in Stoke is that they were a long time relegated and had been a shambles all season and the gate was 6000 with quite a few of us. Painter had a late penalty and missed. Score and we were down. The Everton game was at 11.30 on a Sunday morning!!! They were still pissed!

    Ok I'll bite, as stated previously I have never been to see Wasps, never will. That reads to you that I have a Wasps season ticket!

    Morally wrong? completely indefensible? Come on get a sense of perspective, its a game, I wouldn't watch Wasps but I would defend the right of anybody to spend their time doing what they like. Who the fuck are you telling them what they should do? stroppy and defensive enough for you? Head held...

    IW

    Never did any player look happier to wear the Coventry City shirt! Loved that team with Yorath, Fergie, Hutch, Bobby Mac, Powell, Graydon et al. Played with 2 in midfield and out and out wingers, no wonder Ferguson and Wallace scored so many......

    Rumour: Hoffman and Elliot takeover negotiations

    But its an obsession to want the plight of the club to receive exposure. Come on Nick, you cant have it both ways!

    Rumour: Hoffman and Elliot takeover negotiations

    or the obsession with the forensic challenging the modus operandi of the consortium trying to buy us?

    Rumour: Hoffman and Elliot takeover negotiations

    What a really disappointing response from a decent poster. It really beggars belief that a guy with proven funds "outs himself" to us and the owners and he is challenged to his net worth, was he advocating a boycott? I don't agree with the way they are going about things..........FFS its their...

    Rumour: Hoffman and Elliot takeover negotiations

    I think that some on here are going to miss Sisu. A consortium comes forward and tries to get us out of the claws of these despicable owners and they themselves are questioned on tactics, how they presented themselves, who is involved, depth of pockets etc...... I for one am delighted that...

    Rumour: Hoffman and Elliot takeover negotiations

    Nearly all owners care about the club in their custody.................. You are trying to second guess the motives of Sisu and you are sticking some sort of logic in your thinking, surely that is a lesson we should have all gleaned by now? They march to their own drum. I am hoping that...

    Rumour: Hoffman and Elliot takeover negotiations

    I think Sisu have shown they don't give a toss about our opinions. This is the perfect scenario: local guys, City fans, business know how, wedge. This could be it!!!

    Wasps won't fail. They are a world renowned brand in Rugby Union, which is probably why they have been embraced by the Coventry public.

    hearing one of the voices of the Sky Blue Trust...

    I am trying to work out where I stand on this thread. I don't live in Coventry so don't have the emotional attachment to Wasps that so many seem to have but I don't blame them for taking advantage of the Ricoh debacle for their own gain. I also don't get the "you can't watch both clubs" vibe...

    Still Very Quiet

    There could be another scenario at play here, rather like the Cold War times, we just don't understand the people who own us and that is deliberate and suits their purpose. Our finance director is once again hitting us with logic and common sense but I would ask when has that been the modus...
