    Genuine Question-SISU

    Like any business it's how you run it that counts. The premiership is a pot of gold for some, and a reluctant debt wagon for others trying to keep up with the pack. Small clubs like Burnley can't compete with the likes of Man Utd. If they try then they will be riddled in debt. They don't have...

    Ricoh - Gut Feeling

    If I was the WASP owner I'd be chasing down CCFC now to find a deal. I'd want their 18-20k average attendees spending at the Ricoh, using the bars, the casino et al. Plus some 500k smackers in rent and other sundry additions. Hell I'd paint the changing rooms Sky Blue. I'd get my stdium...

    Looking bad for Villa....who do we want?

    I am slightly amazed at the respones here. Surely the weaker the opposition is likely to be the better our chances of staying up? While parachute payments make them all able to spend way more on players, the fact is West Ham or Villa would likely be tougher oppo than Bournemouth or Norwich or...

    Looking bad for Villa....who do we want?

    It looks increasingly bad for Villa after today, and their fixture run in looks very tough. While many want them to join us in the championship I'm really hoping they stay up. They would be a stronger side than say Bournemouth, and if they stay up we may have first dibs on O'Hare who I think is...

    Ricoh Return Stumbling Block

    tbf I was not aiming it with any of that in mind - just merely the goodwill opportunity for all sides was the point I was making. And yes there are plenty of issues to sort, but there is no reason why that can't be done.

    Ricoh Return Stumbling Block

    ...they don't which is why I said it would be good for them.

    Ricoh Return Stumbling Block

    We will be back at the Ricoh next season. It's as simple as apple pie because it makes even more sense now than ever before. It will be good for WASP, it will be good for Coventry, it will be good for the council, it will be good for the City of Culture......what's not to like?

    Promotion

    I said before a ball was kicked and kept up that stance when many on here dismissed it. So yeah....I told you so. You're welcome.

    Robins on season

    MR's and his abled sidekick AV have done a remarkable job, let's not diminish it.

    Fans back in grounds in September

    It could well be some sort of crowd percentage will be allowed back at the start of next season if there are no significant spikes. Following from that, the target would have to be the Xmas games for normalcy to return albeit with some new hygeine rules in place for a while. If we are back at...

    Marosi

    Lee burge was awful. Come on now. Marosi secured the back adding confidence to the CB in front of him. I remember suggesting he was my player of the season such was his overall influence to the team. When a team believes in a keeper there is a surge of spirit throughout the team.

    Wage Rise Upgrades

    I would have thought all wages will increase for players in the first team squad. As we are not paying as high as others obviously we will still need to find a common denomiator for that players who realise they have a chance to consolidate themselves in the championship, but by no means can'tbe...

    Adi Viveash

    I saw an interview somewhere that AV stated he likes coaching and bringing his ideas forward whether the manager adapts them or not. But clearly there has been plenty of input for MR's, and no doubt influenced many decisions. That is the mark of an excellent manager/coach team working together...

    Budget

    I think at this critical juncture and so not to undo the great progrees the club has made, SISU must surely consider chucking in a few extra funds now? They must make sure we are not left behind, and ensure MR's is not hamstrung in keeping the momentum going. There must surely be a Ricoh deal...

    Is the Championship bigger now then it was when we were last there?

    Like every league there are some strong teams and some weak teams. I think we will hold our own quite well by retaining much of our present squad and just adding a couple or so of players in key areas of strength. This may be well researched loanees as much as thinking we could buy one or two...

    Budget

    With something of the order of £7.5m coming down the pipeline now we have achieved promotion, what will our final budget be about? Anyone have an idea? 9m, 10m,12m?

    Walshy wants cov

    Madison, Bayliss, Wilson they all have to mature at some point right? Why not with us? We are sitting as a squad with some very good players already who I expect will prove many of you wrong. I guess time will tell as always, but it sounds already that some on here do not rate our chances of...

    Walshy wants cov

    That says more about you than the excellent side Robins has cultivated, many of which are young and constantly growing better with each game.

    Walshy wants cov

    Yes. We have some very good players easily capable of the step up. We are blessed at the back for example and we have a goalkeeper who is a lot better than many in the championship. Optimism and not forgetting the momentum we have in the currents squad will play a big part.
