    Perhaps I got that one worng but the others definitely were. Also Bell and Murphy are Irish of course. We do appear to have more than our likely share of Irish players. Not saying it's either a good or bad thing - just an observation. A bit like how we had loads of Scots under Wee Gordon.

    Deegan

    Pretty dumb. Surely grounds for the club to have a harsh word but probably no need for any other action. He does appear to be a total numbskull though.

    Sounds plausible. We only appear to buy Irish players these days. Boothroyd bought ROD, O'Halloran, Keogh and Deegan for starters.

    Transfer embargo lifted.

    I'd say this is SISU's last chance to demonstrate that they can run more than a bath. If they balls this up then the fans will be furious.

    Transfer embargo lifted.

    Well that's earlier than I and many others expected. Now lets see some action in the transfer market. If our owners are prepared to get at least 6-8 new players on board who aren't teenagers or hopeless cast-offs and can keep some of our better players, I might be willing to give them a second...

    Realistically?

    Trying to decide whether to buy a season ticket. If we have the embargo in place at the start of the season quite frankly I don't see why I should part with my hard-earned money as the owners clearly don't care for the club and I don't see why I should be giving them anything. What chance do...

    Yeovil away allocation

    Isn't Cranie from Yeovil - not that he'll be around to play against his hometown team of course?

    More chance of Kevin the Gerbil buying us than Kevin Pietersen

    Confirmed: Harrison has left the building

    Is it legal for a league club not to have a physio? What are players expected to do if they are injured - tend to themselves? This is potentially putting their long term health at risk and I dread to think what an insurance company would say. How are we expected to attract players if this...

    A (soon to be) Ex-Football club?

    Ok, players left Clingan, Nimely, Norwood,Platt, Eastwood, Herman and Ireland. I would sadly expect Keogh, Cranie, Bigi and McPake to leave. I would also expect ROD to go but he is no loss whatsoever.

    A (soon to be) Ex-Football club?

    So with a the fixtures about to come out for the new season and the players about to return to pre-season training where are we at? So far, we have a painfully small squad which is largely made up of home-grown teenagers. We have a manager who it is not clear even has a contract with the...

    Hoffman... where the f**k are you ?

    I think Hoffman quite likes his "prince across the water" status. The potential saviour of CCFC. Alas, the reality does not back this up and other than a few Key's tweets there is very little to suggest Hoffman ever has been serious about trying to buy the club either on behalf of investors or...

    Thorn Starting to get impatient?

    You really couldn't blame him if he walked. It can't be doing much for his health. The man has been sold a pup by SISU.

    Thorn Starting to get impatient?

    There's always "a lot of work going on behind the scenes" but very little in the way of results with SISU isn't there? Don't expect the embargo to be lifted until the start of the season. By which time we will probably be down to just the kids. Thanks Joy.

    Here are the 2012 / 2013 new kits

    Can we read into this that Baker and Clarke will both be here next season and be our star players in the opinion of the board?

    A sleeping giant

    I think there is a lot of truth in what those of you who remark about the economic situation in Coventry say. Yes, the city has been through a lot of strife in recent times however I think there is a lack of positivity and "get up and go" about Coventry at the moment and I largely blame the...

    Goalkeepers we had in the Championship

    Goram was in dreadful physical shape when we signed him. Did we not have Pressman and Goram at the same time? They could have given Fatwood a run for his money.

    A sleeping giant

    We are the eleventh biggest city in England and Wales. Let's end this small town mentality we have at this club - i.e. "we are a small town club, we are at our right level in League 1" etc, etc. The fact is that we should be either a lower ranking Premiership or upper ranking Championship team...

    isnt it time to support SISU?

    I will support SISU when they: 1. Provide us with the competitive squad of players that this club, this city and its fans deserve 2. Be transparent, open and honest with fans and end the duplicity 3. Admit if they don't have funds to do point 1, put the club up for sale and quietly leave the...

    The bare minimum

    I should caveat that it is ridiculous that we are even contemplating mid-table in League 1 as being a success however with the grotesque handicap that is SISU it would be a relative triumph.
