    Why did you become a Ccfc fan in the first place?

    I come from Northampton and wanted an excuse to get away for the whole day on a Saturday - but not too far. Coventry seemed about the right distance.

    Why do SISU still want Coventry City Football Club?

    The 'want to make a loss' theory is wrong wrong wrong. Nobody wants to make a loss. Joyce prides herself in never giving in - hence 'sisu'. She wants to make a profit on this - whilst there is time, there is a chance she can win. She will not let go until either she loses so much money that...

    embargo limit

    What you are lacking, is an understanding of the word 'strategy'. As Albee said “Sometimes it's necessary to go a long distance out of the way in order to come back a short distance correctly.”

    Bitch left me

    Coventry City is like an ex girlfriend to me - a girlfriend I loved and who broke up with me. I'd love to have her back, but I really hope she has a miserable time whilst she's dating that other bloke in Northampton. I hope that every date ends badly, that all her friends desert her, that she's...

    Connor Thomas speaks

    It will be nice to get some local lads from Northampton in the team at some stage. Always nice when a local lad makes the grade.

    Mansfield match thread

    Because they're Latin it means they're better than other players - right?

    Wake up supporters - you are being conned!

    My problem is that I can see both sides of this. I agree that the club needs to own its own ground due to FFP if nothing else. However I cannot help feeling that if SISU were not the sharks they are, they may have already negotiated this at the Ricoh. 1. The Council is not saying it will...

    Saints Support

    Even more similarities between Saints and Sky Blues than you think - both in the Premiership for years until they met the ginger relegationmeister...

    Where have they spent the money

    SISU did not give money to the club - it was lent. A significant proportion may well be unpaid interest due to SISU.

    Even more players to go.

    Of the above, some will be sold before the season starts: possibly Baker, Clarke and Adams. We may be granted an exception to buy some players but I expect to see a team composed of several of the next batch of academy graduates. If I were SISU, this is what I would do. Write off the...

    Dion Dublin - Sky Blues are in complete disarray

    It is also an anagram of O Yj Seppela.

    Coventry Telegraph back page tomorrow (and the days where there's no actual news...)

    And this whilst there is all that newsworthy stuff going on - they could be filling reams of paper with investigative, real, news. The CET is not just poor, it is very very poor.

    Did he say 8 intresting parties?

    Is that a euphemism?

    SISU Finances explained

    Hmmm. Unfortunately I think they may have a point there. Morally their case is flawed, but legally they seldom lose. If it is true, as has been claimed, that they are deliberately setting out to kill ACL and pick up the land for a song, then they will have obtained a valuable asset for the...

    SISU Finances explained

    1 How is this relevant? The question is SISU's behaviour, not AE Higgs. 2 Maybe they see it as an investment in property that will provide relatively low risk high returns to optimise the use of their capital 3 Why are you trying the cloud the issue?

    SISU Finances explained

    Katzenjammer I don't think you have read the article thoroughly. They have not put anywhere near as much money in as they have claimed. For me, it's not about the team, it's about honesty, integrity and a realistic business plan. This article implies they have none of the above. Just stop...

    SISU Finances explained

    This is a very thorough investigation into SISU's financial management of the club. It highlights what a bunch of charlatans we have as owners. http://aprisonofmeasuredtime.wordpress.com/ I know nothing abut the writer, but isn't this exactly the kind of thing the useless hacks at the CET...

    Cov fans fighting eachother

    Define Middle Class - dunno. don't know how to define working class either, except I used to think I was the latter and now I think I am the former. I read a definition the other day that had if you read novels you are middle class. But I don't think my problem is with class at all. It's more...
