Sorry, haven't really been following this discussion, is that what's happening? Even so, who really cares what other people think? I enjoy debating ideas with smart people and tend to ignore the people whose opinions are not based off any facts or thought.

Do we really care what people thought N years ago? Surely one definition of intelligence is the ability to change one's opinion in the light of new information.

It wasn't though, was it? They didn't play games for 4 years, feigning that they would go elsewhere. They just bought it. If you don't like that Wasps got a bargain then place the blame firmly on SISU's shoulders - their shenanigans put ACL into a corner.

Then a lot of people are wrong. £5m + £15m loan to repay.

It will be interesting to see how much they get for a ten year deal. They paid about £20m, including the loan from CCC, for the stadium. A ten year sponsorship deal could easily bring in £15m (Ricoh paid £10m). It's a pity that SISU wanted an even better return and fucked it all up.

And yet at the time Clarke left many on here believed that Wilson's goals would dry up

I think the biggest risk is that Joy questions why we should invest any money in Mowbray when she had the same from the club last year on how excellent Pressley was and then we had to pay him to leave. And she'd have a point - but following that logic they'd never invest in anyone. Most people...

Is RFC around? He knows Joy well, I believe. What's she thinking R? (Hope you don't mind me calling you R).

Well, he's got a brain and is cool-headed to go with the skill. Love this quote about his goal on Sunday: “I was confident. I knew I just needed to get a good contact on it and with just a defender in the way I knew if I put it mid height just to his side that he couldn’t use his hands. I...

It's a story on the CET site: http://www.coventrytelegraph.net/sport/football/football-news/tony-mowbray-coventry-city-owner-9177508 I have to say, I really like the things Mowbray is saying and believe he has a reasonable chance of success. If Joy vetoes this it will show that SISU has no...

I once read this on a toilet wall: "If you laid all the girls from Wood End out in a line, I wouldn't be at all surprised".

About 20 in the squad

Is there any sequence of scores that could result in us both staying up and Sunderland being relegated?

I fear this will be our last game in League 1 for several years. This is exactly the kind of game that we don't turn up for. Hope I'm wrong.

Not finding much online showing budgets. Did find an article on Conference budgets which range from 1.3m to 310k. So if the £1.2m is correct, we can be happy to know we'll be at the top end of Conference budgets when we get there.

I was looking for data on budgets for all teams and came across the Telegraph (not CET, the broadsheet) predictions for the season. This is what it had to say about City and Crawley: Coventry City Manager: Steven Pressley. Last season: 18th. Murray’s verdict: I fear for them, I actually think...

I meant for him to become stronger not fat! :). He will add body mass as he gets older, agreed - but he'll only become strong if he gets into the gym. It made all the difference in the world for Wilson.

If his core were stronger he'd have fewer back problems.

I believe they only come in one colour ;)

This time in 2012 Wilson was a skinny kid who got knocked off the ball pretty easily. He came back in August looking like a man - he'd obviously spent a long time bulking up during the Summer. Look at him now - I wouldn't be surprised to see him mentioned in an England squad sometime within...
