    One of those true 'where were you when...' moments

    There is a short documentary here for anyone who doesn't know about this incredible man. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jgQBoXsxr8w

    Cannot speak for others, but I won't be going.

    Poll - Who is to blame?

    Coleman and Ranson? Why? Coleman was just a manager doing his best. He didn't make any financial decisions. We have Ranson to thanks for the young team we have now. I'd have him back tomorrow.

    2017/18 - Sky Blues start the season at a new ground just outside the city limits

    Completely disagree that the taxpayers should support the club. The club does not belong to the people of Coventry, it belongs to an anonymous group of very rich people. Very rich people whose scruples do not exclude investing in a hedge fund like SISU that will take any extreme measure within...

    2017/18 - Sky Blues start the season at a new ground just outside the city limits

    Who says they don't? Possibly they feel that a thread about wasting taxpayers' money generally isn't the correct subject for a chat site dedicated to Coventry City?

    Christie's Off Then...

    This is BAU (business as usual). Most clubs must sell their best players when bigger clubs come-a-calling. The Northampton Sky Blues are no exception.

    2017/18 - Sky Blues start the season at a new ground just outside the city limits

    Bless you, poppet - to find this interesting. Not really relevant to this conversation though, which is all about principles. Maybe start another thread?

    2017/18 - Sky Blues start the season at a new ground just outside the city limits

    Let's assume 1 mile outside the city limits somewhere. Let's face it, the Ricoh isn't exactly in the town centre, so let's assume it is just as accessible, but not in Coventry.

    2017/18 - Sky Blues start the season at a new ground just outside the city limits

    Like several people on here I don't think this will happen, because I don't think SISU has any intention of building a new stadium - it is all just part of the emotional blackmail to try and steal the Ricoh from the taxpayers. However, let's assume that they do go ahead. Would you start...

    Question, not a suggestion

    I wrote to the FL a few days ago asking them for a definition of their role and the escalation procedure should they not meet it. They replied that they have no responsibility for football in England, only for maintaining their competition. They said that the FA would be the place to look for...

    Support the lads...for the final push

    There are a lot of people in Coventry making a sacrifice to try and get the club on better ground for the long term. It may not be huge, but it's the only tool available to us and I think it's blooming impressive that so many people are taking part. So by all means, you go if you want to...

    Poll - Who is to blame?

    Would be nice to see the attribution if you included Bryan Richardson in there.

    The Football League and Otium

    I recently wrote to the FL asking if they would reconsider Otium as 'right and proper' owners in the light of the zero rent offer. I also put it to them that they were failing in their remit. This is the answer I received. Interesting that we could easily be expelled from the league within...

    Sisu - repulsive vultures

    Sisu are not vultures. Vultures feed off carrion that is already dead - they do not proactively cause the death.

    Manset

    If you google the guy you can see that he has been criticised for being lazy everywhere he has been. I was amazed we signed him - thought pressley knew something google didn't.

    "Coventry City owners lead club to Northampton and towards the abyss"

    It does strike me that the Hoffman offer is effectively that SISU could play at the Ricoh for free. All he asked for was a share of the increased revenue.

    "Coventry City owners lead club to Northampton and towards the abyss"

    That's just about all Les Reid is good for - tweeting and following up on other people's scoops.
