    The Butts

    Yeah its a right mess for Wasps, I wonder if they regret buying the Ricoh? top of the Premiership, later stages of European cup, several lifetimes lease of stadium, near capacity crowds,I could go on......... They came, they saw, they conquered. But lets wait for them to fail, it looks that way...

    Income streams from the Ricoh

    If Coventry City had moved into a council owned stadium with Wasps then it would have been like an ACMilan/internazionale situation of ground share. They would have office and admin and training facilities independent to each other and use the stadiums on match day. Both would be responsible for...

    The Butts

    This post should be kept as an aid to all that want a brief run through of where we are as a football club.

    Income streams from the Ricoh

    Wasps are embedded in the city now, they don't need a league two bound football club to sweeten any deal, we are the ones who need them.

    Income streams from the Ricoh

    Its safe to say that even now with a different approach(as Nick has often pointed out) so much more could be achieved. What has happened with sisu can't be undone for some but by reaching out and softening their stance and improving the communication with the fans and stakeholders a different...

    Income streams from the Ricoh

    "I suspect without Wasps they would be losing vast amounts and probably with them and us and all the other Ricoh business through the week they should be doing quite nicely." I am well aware, which is why the sentence above was included. From 2001 to 2007 I worked for Compass and we had many...

    Income streams from the Ricoh

    There is and always has been confusion about Compass contract, it was a joint venture partnership aimed at providing a great hospitality package and provide the club with a guaranteed percentage of profit. In the catering world 5% profit is a great deal considering all staffing and product costs...

    Best Coventry Central Midfielder?

    Gary McAllister should never have joined us, he was a cut above our standard and had to play with inferior players for a couple of years, once he had better players around him he was brilliant IMO. His move to Liverpool and his subsequent success emphasised that point. We got him at his peak and...

    Only a slap on the Wrist

    Whilst there is life in our club we all must get behind the team and support them more than ever, regardless of how we feel about the owners, give up NOPM and give the owners shit if you must but without our support the club will die.

    Got to get Tim Fisher out of our club.in

    I have a grudging respect for Tim Fisher-there I said it. He must have the skin of a Rhino and be aware that he is hated by so many and seems to be unaffected by it. We don't know the dynamic of who is making the decisions but we sure know who is fronting them up and I just wish he was adept at...

    The Butts

    They could do with a different approach to their relationships, that much is clear.

    Mowbray's got a new job..

    The argument that Coventry city at any time is a more prestigious job than Wales or Scotland is frankly ridiculous. I would accept the argument that in the Premier league its a full time post that is a lot more hands on and maybe even a bigger salary but for a Welshman or a Scotsman or indeed...

    Simon Jordan Interview- Part 3.

    Simon Jordan did crash and burn at Palace but I still think he is entitled to respond when asked a question and I don't think anywhere in the articles is it saying he is an expert on CCFC but just expressing a sadness that we are in this situation and how he feels we got there and what he...

    The Butts

    I wish that Nuneaton Town was the answer but they are having their own issues as are Coventry speedway so local seems to be a non starter unless something could be done at BPA.

    Got to get Tim Fisher out of our club.in

    Agreed 100%, that horse has bolted though and the gap in the market that nobody foresaw was Wasps taking the opportunity. Can't blame them for that in my opinion, we can debate all year about whether they should be here but you can't dispute that they have played a blinder since arriving in...

    Got to get Tim Fisher out of our club.in

    Lets get this clear: Wasps are hurting Coventry City by their actions you are saying? I think that our owners are hurting Coventry City just about enough without any extra assistance!

    Farrend Rawson and Charles Vernam

    I have never heard of them! means nothing really. I hope they are motivated and interested in helping us survive in this league. I had heard of Henderson, Hunt and Ramage which tells you something.

    Got to get Tim Fisher out of our club.in

    Or are they just making sure their club has a suitable training centre in their new hometown?
