    Les Reid prefers GMK

    I think that Les is very egotistical - I was also blocked by him on Twitter for disagreeing with him. He must have a very fragile ego.

    Has to be a defeat by 3 goals or more. Cannot see us scoring anything.

    Players contracted for 15/15 season

    Should say 15/16. Although maybe it will become 15/15 if all the court cases are exhausted before December?

    Players contracted for 15/15 season

    There's a good article in the CET re the number of players out of contract at the end of this season: http://www.coventrytelegraph.net/sport/football/football-news/look-eleven-coventry-city-players-8530702 I believe that the short-term contracts and loans are a big factor in our league...

    This club is unique

    I loved growing up in Coventry but I think I got lucky that my youth coincided with punk and an explosion of bands and activity. Remember going to see The Urge, Wild Boys, Clique, Squad, Vietnamese Babies - even played in a band myself and gigged around. Of course the Specials - saw them in...

    Translation

    Absolutely, the threads are far far worse than the mismanagement of the club and endless litigations trying to rip off the people of Coventry, charities etc. Those damned threads!

    Rochdale

    If we are promoted to the Championship surely it would make a return to the Premiership more likely?

    Local media are truly shocking

    Orton and SISU have Loot in common.

    Local media are truly shocking

    Thanks, that explains why I thought it was nothing like Orton's work! :)

    Local media are truly shocking

    I thought he meant Joe Orton. Who was it supposed to be then? (this is a line from 'Ruffian on the Stair')

    Do you have a meeting with a man at Kings Cross station toilets?

    4 signing before window closes!!!!

    I missed that, thank you. Although it could be positioning along the lines of 'If you want him it ain't gunna be for free'.

    Interesting chat with City Insider yesterday

    Clearly several people find it interesting. I'm struggling to understand why you would post in a thread that doesn't interest you! :)

    Interesting chat with City Insider yesterday

    At some point during the month you would not be even on cashflow though wouldn't you? So that's not a valid example. :)

    Local media are truly shocking

    I agree that the CET journalists are poor (Simon excepted) but I suspect that their hands are tied by policy. They have to trot out several hundred words on CCFC every day. If they lost access it would be a disaster, so they play to game and don't sacrifice their bread and butter for one scoop.

    Interesting chat with City Insider yesterday

    Call me old fashioned or correct me any accountants on here... if we are cashflow positive wouldn't that imply we are also at least breaking even on operating costs?

    Interesting chat with City Insider yesterday

    Sorry for not thinking everything through for one post. One more question: If transfer money does go straight out of the door, does this mean that debt to SISU is now decreasing? If so, this would imply that they can keep going for ages with a strategy of cashing in on the youth team. I do...

    Interesting chat with City Insider yesterday

    Also interesting that SISU is still effectively bankrolling the club for operating costs. Weren't we told that we were now no longer operating at a loss? Could you ask your friend if, as I suspect, the transfer money goes straight to SISU as interest and debt repayment?

    Interesting chat with City Insider yesterday

    Thanks, very interesting and certainly similar to what I suspected. Someone should send Joy a link to the BBC Sports page or CCFC home site - then she could save 10p on a phone call that could be used more productively to sue a child or something.
