    If

    I think that Joy has misunderstood the Kipling poem: "if you can risk it [all] on one turn of pitch-and-toss, And lose... you'll be a women my daughter"

    Maddison on the spot...

    Well then if that's true - i.e. we have to sell to balance the books - then he'll go. Don't understand why you think SISU would want to run a continual loss.

    John Eustace

    I seem to recall he had knee issues when he played for us, so not really a surprise that he still does. Or am I imagining it?

    Maddison on the spot...

    That's a huge dose of poetic license from the CET. People weren't given the option to choose £3m - the actual price paid for Wilson. And they weren't asked if they thought he was worth more than Wilson either.

    Maddison on the spot...

    If you look at the penalties he's taken, you can see that he's letting the keeper commit before passing into the net on the other side. Very cool head.

    The Waiting

    I have to say, that if Mowbray pulls this off by getting what he needs to bring success (and of course then delivers) then he'll have singled-handedly saved this club. Not prone to hyperbole usually but I cannot see us getting anywhere but League 2 and beyond unless something happens...

    Maddison on the spot...

    Obviously none of us knows him, however every comment I've ever seen about him is that he's a very confident person. I expect he's loving it. Edit: I'm agreeing with you :)

    Maybe he wants free marshmallows at half time and SISU won't go further than wine gums.

    Maddison wanted by United and Spurs

    Very off topic. I have thought about it long and hard and there is a rationale to my thinking. Obviously I don't believe in any God as described by man. Let me know if you want to continue the conversation on PM, don't want to bore everyone here with it.

    Maddison wanted by United and Spurs

    Well, anything that can happen will happen I guess. The world is full of people who make mistakes, sometimes because they are foolish and sometimes because we don't always have all the information and have to take a punt. Personally, I tend to not have an opinion on things where I know there...

    Maddison wanted by United and Spurs

    Sorry, haven't really been following this discussion, is that what's happening? Even so, who really cares what other people think? I enjoy debating ideas with smart people and tend to ignore the people whose opinions are not based off any facts or thought.

    Maddison wanted by United and Spurs

    Do we really care what people thought N years ago? Surely one definition of intelligence is the ability to change one's opinion in the light of new information.

    Stadium Name Change ?

    It wasn't though, was it? They didn't play games for 4 years, feigning that they would go elsewhere. They just bought it. If you don't like that Wasps got a bargain then place the blame firmly on SISU's shoulders - their shenanigans put ACL into a corner.

    Stadium Name Change ?

    Then a lot of people are wrong. £5m + £15m loan to repay.

    Stadium Name Change ?

    It will be interesting to see how much they get for a ten year deal. They paid about £20m, including the loan from CCC, for the stadium. A ten year sponsorship deal could easily bring in £15m (Ricoh paid £10m). It's a pity that SISU wanted an even better return and fucked it all up.

    A tale of two players

    mowbray

    I think the biggest risk is that Joy questions why we should invest any money in Mowbray when she had the same from the club last year on how excellent Pressley was and then we had to pay him to leave. And she'd have a point - but following that logic they'd never invest in anyone. Most people...

    When do we expect to hear about Mowbray ?

    Is RFC around? He knows Joy well, I believe. What's she thinking R? (Hope you don't mind me calling you R).

    Just How Good Is Maddison?

    Well, he's got a brain and is cool-headed to go with the skill. Love this quote about his goal on Sunday: “I was confident. I knew I just needed to get a good contact on it and with just a defender in the way I knew if I put it mid height just to his side that he couldn’t use his hands. I...

    Mowbray or Waggott

    It's a story on the CET site: http://www.coventrytelegraph.net/sport/football/football-news/tony-mowbray-coventry-city-owner-9177508 I have to say, I really like the things Mowbray is saying and believe he has a reasonable chance of success. If Joy vetoes this it will show that SISU has no...
