    Championship salary cap next season?

    I just can't see it happening - it's a minefield to implement. How could that drop from Championship to L1 budget be realistically achieved? Teams would need to release their entire squads and start over and some of those might be saleable assets. The more exceptions you then put in place, the...

    All time average attendances

    There's a lot of single town/City clubs on the Championship list there. I wonder how much of an impact the lack of a strong local rivalry has on a team's support, if any. Or is that just more to do with City size/catchment area? We don't really have a 2-way fierce local rivalry, not in the way...

    Podcast Sky Blues Extra - Matty Godden Podcast

    I listened to it this morning from the other thread on it. He does talk about how much it lifts him and praises the away support. https://www.skybluestalk.co.uk/threads/sky-blues-extra-matty-godden-podcast.120075/

    Cameron Carter Vickers

    I always feel a bit sorry for players like that. Almost 100 Championship appearances for 5 different loan clubs by the time you're 22. It's a long way from the daydream of scoring on your debut in front of your home fans as an 18 year old that we fantasize about as kids. It's good experience...

    New Stadium Announcement!!!!!!

    That X is what the Ricoh pitch looks like by Christmas every year too, so we might not even need to do much work on the pitch.

    A Bit to soon

    Lazy urban myth. They were a brilliant team but our squad that started the season was shocking and our team was probably the slowest I've ever seen. The defence at the start of the season was Oggy (39) - Borrows (36), Daish (28), Williams (22), Burrows (28) with Kevin Richardson (34) and...

    A Bit to soon

    It's a friendly, it doesn't matter if we win or lose. What it will do is give Robins a great idea of exactly where the squad is at in terms of current match fitness, so he can map out the rest of pre-season accordingly. The players also get a chance to show they can compete with a higher level...

    Cowley sacked

    They were rock bottom, 7 points from safety and had 1 win in 15 matches!

    IMPORTANT: Downtime tonight

    One point of feedback from me. I’d prefer the back to ‘Coventry City general chat’ button to be above the list of users who have read the thread. When I’ve got to the end of a thread and want to go back to the main thread menu it’s mildly annoying to have to scroll by all the user names first.

    Season ticket refunds

    I don’t think there can be a general consensus given the madness of this year and the unique circumstances it has thrown out. If you can afford it let the club have the money. If you really need that money back, take it back and don’t let anyone make you feel guilty for it.

    Season Ticket Fund

    Let’s use Garry’s money on A stone throws season ticket and then we all know it’s gone to a worthy cause and everyone’s happy.

    Season Ticket Fund

    It truly shocks me that some people would abuse a system set up like this, donated to by ordinary Cov fans and intended to help people with a genuine need. I don't know how people like that can look at themselves in the mirror. How do people become so morally bankrupt?

    Concept kits

    Has there been any news on shirt sponsor for next season? I seem to recall allsopp & allsopp's latest deal was just a 1 year one for 2019/2020.

    Transfer Rumour Callum O'Hare - Confirmed

    I would be looking to loan Jodi Jones out to a L1 team next season at least for the first half of it. He needs to be playing week in, week out now, which he is unlikely to do for us. It will give him a chance to prove himself and gain his confidence back without the pressure of doing it in the...

    Otherwise the longer this goes on it will start to stink like an 'all you can drink' boat trip on the Thames.
