    Problems Started Years Ago!

    No that was McGinnity. Whoever was chairman at the time voted for the introduction of all-seater stadium & I think McGinnity's family business was one of or the main seat installers across the country

    Not replacing Mowbray

    We have been in a downward spiral for too long and our response every 15-18 months is to change the manager and start again. We have no long term planning concerning the team and every season we seem to sign 8-10 players and hope they gel. It is not all down to budget as there are teams at the...

    Good old films

    The old Indian has some great lines in The Outlaw Josey Wales. "I didn't surrender but they took my horse off me and made him surrender" and in response to Josey saying something like "People never stay around when I get to liking them" he says "I've noticed when you get to disliking folks they...

    John Sillett Interview

    We sold out the away end and Villa wouldn't give us any more tickets. Someone from CCFC,maybe even Howe, suggested we should go in the home end and there was probably around 1,000 in the corner at the start of the game. Weren't they all moved to the away end after about 5 minutes?

    John Sillett Interview

    Wasn't there talk of Regis & Peake getting involved with Sillett? The memory of Don Howe sends a shudder down my spine. The loss at Villa on the last day of 91-92 when we were fighting for survival is up there with the worst performances I have seen as we lacked fight, committment & effort and...

    John Sillett Interview

    We watched it back a couple of times and it didn't come a cross as humorous, if that's how he meant it then I apologise. I'm surprised nobody else saw it

    John Sillett Interview

    I agree Butcher was a disaster & I think we paid him 2 wages as a player and a manager which he refused to re-negotiate when his playing career was over, after 5 games ffs!!!!, which led to Butcher going. I don't agree that Sillett's sacking was the catalyst for the position we find ourselves in...

    John Sillett Interview

    Sorry if there is a thread already about this but I couldn't find it. On my way down to Wembley I stopped over at my friend's house in Rugby and he had recorded a piece about Coventry at Wembley on either Sky or BBC Midlands which I don't have up here and it included an interview with John...

    Head of recruitment

    Wasn't Fleck's contract up he turned down the offer of a new contract because he wanted to play in the champonship & then he joined Sheff Utd? They obviously offered him more money but we couldn't give something away that we didn't own

    Claus Bech Jorgensen

    We were in Subway afterwards and in the queue in front of us was Claus with his 3 kids, all wearing Coventry shirts. What a nice guy he is? I have seen him before at a couple of games but does he go to all our games? He only played just over 50 times for us and had longer careers at other clubs...
