    And Dean Kiely. Used to watch the reserves around then and remember him coming through. David Smith? Martyn Booty?

    Howard Clark made it in the first team for a while. What happened to him?

    Ched Evans signing for a League One Club...

    An interesting thing, the price of morals. Ched Evans is a very good player at this level. What would the clamour be if the player in question was, say, David Bell? Probably not the same as for Callum Wilson? What about if Rooney was without a club and an outcast, didn't need any...

    SISU bring in PR company

    I remember Campbell kicking off live on Sky once and as for Portaloo.... Can you imagine those pair in front if a Sky-Blues supporter gathering in a pub in Cov??? Count me in - we could sell tickets.

    SISU bring in PR company

    I actually think you are right. JS could scapegoat TF, engage the fans, explain that she needs them. It would save a lot of money on PR suited types.

    Best Ever Year ?

    89/90 - Speedie in form, LC SF (when it actually meant something) Kevin Gallacher, punch up between Benno's brother and Speedie up at Roker, some full houses, about 10k people on the Kop for the QF replay (when clubs used to Massively under-declare attendances - particularly when a %age went to...

    SISU bring in PR company

    To do that, the first thing to do would be to dissassociate the Club and SISU in people's perceptions. Oh, hang on

    Simple yet unlikely solution

    Thanks for your kind words. "Beat up on"? - bit of an Amercian phrase that. Hmmm... Anyway, I was speaking to one of the parties involved with the whole SISU / ACL case and it was opined that JS believes that what she owns is, in the American sense, a football franchise. It's easy to term...

    Waggott told to sack Pressley

    Not sure I agree. No-lose situation for any manager coming in. Do well - Hero against the odds Do badly - The Club/Board had no money or ambition. Good excuse, try again elsewhere.

    Mind you I think that CCFC's scouting set up now amounts to a second hand copy of FM2013 so not many surprises here.

    Tudgay allowed to leave

    Totally agree, but shouldn't we be taking gambles with rough-diamond young, keen-to-make-it-in-the-pro-game, enthusiastic (possibly non-league) youngsters (many of whom may fail), where there is a chance of future profit; rather than 30 something players who no doubt command a hefty pay packet...

    Gentleman, I agree with and concede a couple of your points but comparing the BNP to UKIP is akin to comparing the Labour Party to the Communist Party. You write eloquently so I am surprised at your original post. No one is really in a position to broadcast their opinion on what they...

    Alan, The club is in a heap of shit but there is a way out of the sewer. With a bit of a positive attitude and verve and flair we could have a new stadium in Cov (let's dream, let's have an imposing 4 standed, close-to-the-pitch cantilever job where the noise echoes rather than wafts weakly...

    Samo, Correct - Perhaps a little naive. I live in South Yorks and in an area badly scarred by the Rotherham Child Abuse Scandal. I have seen first hand the reports of young girls being groomed, raped and even MURDERED, whilst the Labour Councillors and MP's and the Labour Police Commissioner...

    I'm out of my depth? Really you have no idea. But okay - you win Samo, I'm out of my depth. I was trying to post about the Council and SISU and the opportunity to make something positive happen. I have answered basic financial costing questions and questions about feasibility. I've spent a...

    Correct. Correct. The money however, belongs to the people of Coventry, not the Councillors. It seems to me that certain Labour Councillors have forgotten that fact. The Council is in place to do the bidding of the People who elected them. Not sure if selling to the Wasps was the will...

    Objectivity? From the person who calls people "Oaf" and brands people "racist" based on their uninformed opinion? Words fail me!

    "Gentleman" Sorry, but this is uninformed, un-researched, over opinionated, bilge. The only party to outright BAN former members of the BNP is.. UKIP LABOUR have former BNP Councillors, Prominent Members and Activists. LABOUR have had Asian Councillors quit on them in 2014...
