    the age old debate..............how good are we?

    you cannot lose the players we have this season from a team that was already struggling and say the team is under-performing. We were always relegation favourites. But after being 8 points adrift we have given ourselves a chance. Thorn should be given credit for that. The players will gain...

    now we have a realistic chance of staying up

    49 points will keep us up

    Survival? Sorry... but am I missing something

    :p and football is nothing to do with statistics. every game is an individual event where anything can happen.

    7 games in march

    It is not imperative that we beat Bristol. There are 13 games left with six home games. If we won all the home games we would have sufficient points to stay up. If we can get a few draws away from home then that would take the pressure off if we lost a home game. A draw at Leicester would be...

    Survival? Sorry... but am I missing something

    I have long thought that we would get out of it. In one of our best seasons we went all season without winning away. If we make the Ricoh a fortress, as we are, then we will get enough points to stay up. Quite frankly only Cov fans would be miserable after a win. There must be a miserable gas...

    Comparative wages

    I have no idea what you are talking about. 1. 1.8m plus 2.3m adds up to 4.1m. what happens to the initial 750K? 2. Isn't that what the club attempts to do anyway - buy players cheap and sell them on for more. cap n balance??? are you making it up?

    Calm down,Calm down,enjoy saturday but lets not get carried away!

    We have been in this situation many many times before and come out of it. The only time we didn't was with Strachan and in my opinion he had clearly lost the plot. I think Thorn has the players with him and there is spirit in the camp even though they must know there are better squads elsewhere...

    Andy Thorn

    It is tempting to use specific examples but one or two instances do not make a rule. By and large success has been demonstrated to be achieved if you give ANY manager time. Something very rarely afforded in these instant results times. Something else which is historically evident is that when...

    No wonder this club is becoming a joke on and off the pitch when...

    You're right of course, as soon as I had posted I remembered that we had picked up the WBA supporting Hughes by then. Never appeared to want to play for us. and nor did Bellend. The point I was trying to make though was the difference in that squad and this. Maybe I should have rephrased the...

    No wonder this club is becoming a joke on and off the pitch when...

    As a matter of interest how would people rate the current best team available with the one we competed the first season in the Championship with - Hedman-Konjic-Shaw-Thompson-Bellamy-Chippo et al? How would Thorn manage with that team? What exactly are his options this season with the players...

    Another Icelander...?

    some absolutely shocking defending in that video. not sure about the comment 'top class strikers' at Celtic either.

    First Post....Coventry Heroes

    Dave Clements got my autograph album signed by the whole team so I have fond memories of him particularly. But Ian Gibson has always been my favourite. He never really shone in the first division though I think because of off the field problems. But since then George Boateng - and Robbie...

    Why SISU should NEVER own the Richo Arena

    that would make sense to SISU. They could move the CCFC 'franchise' to Northwich.

    Idea to help force Sisu out !!!!!!

    sorry SISU manage the funds of venture capitalists. Their job is to make money for their clients in whatever way that means, and at whatever expense to anything other than the money. Florence Nightingale, Mother Teresa, Marie Curie are the good guys.

    Idea to help force Sisu out !!!!!!

    I find this ambition to force SISU out increasingly puzzling. I have never understood why fans welcomed them with open arms when they took over. They are venture capitalists. Does no one understand what this means? I overheard a loudmouth bitch on the train talking to her friend once. Her...

    Transfer breakdown for last 11 years in a spreadsheet for you all...

    The club at one stage owed £69m. It owed about £24m when SISU took over. ie £45m had been paid back.

    Next Years Budget Projections

    a 1.5m loss is not manageable. It isn't manageable in this division and it certainly won't be in the division below. We won't have players worth millions in Div 1 to cover any losses. Don't expect entrance fees to be reduced either. You pay £18 to see Grimsby in BSP. They made a £900,000 loss...

    What a bunch of c**** at Sunderland

    I think the game was artificially delayed. In fact the score at the Sunderland Everton game was relayed over the tannoy 1-0 to Everton. I don't think the fans realised the game was late but the players must have realised the other game had already finished. To say the game was played out is...

    Time to confront Hoffman and Elliott

    If it wasn't for certain people saying that a deal is imminent then fans would have no reason to get hopeful about it. I presume the leak of information is to encourage protests against the current board. I think it is called PR. As alluded to elsewhere it would be beneficial for anyone taking...
