    ACL: "We are absolutely flabbergasted by Tim Fisher's statement today"

    Queue, Malevolence Inconsequential All lovely words.

    If we did .....

    Well I wouldn't but I take your point that many would. The real issue is how many people are prepared to accept, on principle, a move away from Coventry, when we have a perfectly good stadium sitting empty and all it needs is for our owners to stop their remorseless campaign to claw back some...

    Yam Yam Land

    Closer for me as I live in Dudley. Will not be renewing my 20 yr season ticket though and reluctant to go at all if current owners remain. May attend warm summer fixtures ... Hard to say at present

    Skyblues Trust email received this afternoon

    10,000 fans paying an average of £15 per ticket = £150,000 income per match. Minimum of 23 matches. How can CCFC not afford £400,000 rent even ignoring F&B income? I know they have to pay the players but still there is no excuse to move from Coventry.

    Skyblues Trust email received this afternoon

    If, for the sake of argument, 100% of CCFC fans spoke with one voice and fans' representative groups told the FL/FA that we will not attend home games outside Coventry, under the present circumstances, could the FL/FA be persuaded to take the Golden share off the current owners and give it to a...

    An Apology to CCFC board

    Any comments I make are not the views of the CCFC player called Oakey, Graham, an excellent right back from the 70s. They are not the views of anyone called Oakey, as I am not called Oakey They are not the views of anyone whose nickname is Oakey, as it isn't my nickname. They are not the...

    The Evolution of the Beautiful Game

    We have allowed our clubs to be kidnapped by any crook who has access to a big enough wad with the purpose of increasing his wad. If the club is successful, by chance, most fans are happy. If not then look for another crook or chancer to start again. Meanwhile the fans pay the ransom in higher...

    Can we stop this woman scorned nonsense? If she were male, toughness would be admired. As she is a female it inspires fury. Her gender is irrelevant.

    Cov fans fighting eachother

    Now this is getting political. My mum always said that if you work for a living you are working class. She had no time for snobbery and class distinctions. I might add the Tories whole election strategy has always been on dividing working people (that means 90% of us) into warring factions. Very...

    Not under SISU

    Not much chance I will buy a season ticket if SISU continue with their tenure and tricks and I have had a season ticket for about 35 of the last 40 years, including unbroken since 1993. Might go to home games but maybe not if not in Coventry. SISU will have about 4000 ST holders left if at...

    Edge tweet

    Perhaps the players have been told some genuinely big news, such as the club has ceased trading, their contracts are in the hands of the Administrator and they should join the list of creditors. Maybe they are all released or up for transfer ... Better find new clubs or wait to see if we emerge...

    Could the rug be pulled from under the players on Sunday?

    Now we are told the players are all meeting the manager on Sunday when they will be told if they have new contracts etc. Is it possible that at the last minute (after all, they now have form for doing things unexpected at the last minute) the players will be told some bad news? Your contracts...

    Predictions for how or financial fiasco will play out over the summer and beyond

    OK I will lay down an extreme outlier so the rest of you can pitch your prediction inside a bit. Golden share will be in CCFC but the Admin will discover, let's call them, discrepancies. The FL will call in its lawyers and in a year, after much court wrangling and international negative press...

    What income do CCFC have after Saturday?

    Could the club sell Merchandise from mobile units inside or outside the Ricoh on Saturday? Impulse buys are better than online out of season. Can't see them selling much online

    What income do CCFC have after Saturday?

    No ticket sales, No season ticket revenues No new kit launch No club shop, except an online sale of old stuff ? Prize money for coming 60th in football pyramid? Then zilch. Is this a sign our beloved owners are going? After all they have to pay players and other costs with virtually zero...

    Personally, I think whoever leaked an internal council email to the Daily Mail, or any media outlet, is just as culpable in breaking the rules for the organisation. If I leaked anything to the press in my job I would be in as much bother as the author. Someone only did it to stir ... Just as...

    The Daily Mail will get their knickers in a twist over it, but it's all OTT, as is their coverage of every issue. No respect for the newspaper that expressed support for Hitler throughout the 30s. They are truly despicable. This is a storm in a teacup, frankly.

    It was a pathetic and tasteless attempt at humour. However, he has apologised so that is that. We all have to learn to be careful on email, twitter, forums etc. He should know better but he seems a bit of an older class warrior who is not very diplomatic. Thatcher was not averse to throwing the...
