Interesting and heartening to see that the efforts of a wholehearted player like Ernie Machin live long in the memory of Coventry fans. All these plaudits are well deserved.....he was a marvelous player for us and a key part of the Sky Blue revolution. What wouldn't we give for players of his...

Very sad news, one of the greats from the JH era, no doubt. RIP Ernie.

Just seen the excellent Carlisle documentary in which John Barnes, Stan Collymore and others made eloquent claims of how we still have a long way to go. Our society has improved since the 70's when racism was overt - today it is just passive. Football is essentially white, hierarchical...

MAYBE not. According to today's Guardian he is 2-1 (Ladbrokes) to take over at Barclays. ?

Roughly two weeks rent at the Coventry Stadium.

I miss the old place. :-( Threads like this just make it worse, :((((

The Brighton comparison is a good one. A inclusive vision based on community, local business and the council singing from the same hymn sheet. The very opposite of what Ccfc have under SISU. Until the club is honestly and transparently led from the top down the community cannot be blamed for...

But there is little choice. If we wanted to bring about change we couldn't. The endless banter about a "takeover" is pointless and depressing. It's all hopeless best thing we can do is shrug it off and hope that our fortunes change. What else is there?

Sisu have bought a cold. In effect, when they bought the club, they acquired a name with a huge wage bill attached and no assets.!! You couldn't make it up. They now want to appeal to the charitable nature of Higgs and the Council to extricate them from their own naïveté. Bless.

It is the most corporate olympics ever, and forget inclusivity and "legacy" - it is just about milking the last penny. All the venues, etc. already sold into corporate ownership.

Good thread. Clubs evolve and it is very difficult to put your finger on when and why the mentality changes. I remember the momentum of the late sixties it was quite extraordinary. Cities like Coventry emerged from the post war gloom embracing the fruits of mass producing cars, etc. even popular...

Wat a wanker

Supporting a football club is a personal matter and is why you will always get wildly different responses to how and why that support should be expressed. Our current owners are not supporters which is precisely why it has become such a dysfunctional club. The truth is we do not know if (in...

Blind faith makes fans gullible. However, Sisu ran out of credit a long, long time ago. This statement is risible. They really are deluded if they think people will swallow such obvious crap.

Sisu have demonstrably shown that they are: 1) Untrustworthy 2) Have no interest in football or the sporting fortunes of the club. 3) Have no understanding of community and how important that is in relation to the fortunes of the club. Given that a leopard cannot change its spots it would...

AGREED! The CET has performed lamentably over the tenure of Sisu. They never interpret events with any incisiveness, worthwhile opinion or intelligence. They are just awful and have, in no small measure, contributed to the mess the club is in due to their complete inability to get to the truth...

You're right. The professional bodies should be seen to do something but their largely inept and toothless. Money rules and tv applies its own rules to suit. A recent case was the k.o for the cup final. Until football grows some balls and earns a bit of integrity and respect no one is going...

:jerkit: ....and that'd involve supporting the manager too, you know?

His first goal was better, both classy mind. http://soccer-portal.org/goal-of-the-day/7348-cisse-goal-v-chelsea.html :claping hands::claping hands::claping hands:

But he probably knows what tactless means.
