    The ref yesterday

    Yeah, and another when the whole ball crossed the line when Crewe had possession and the linesman didn't spot it. If I was in charge of the game then I would make officials explain their actions as managers have to do.

    The ref yesterday

    I thought the linesman was worse. The ball blatantly went over the line several times and he ignored it or wasn't observant enough and missed it.

    OK, maybe I should have said WILL rather than HAVE.

    And who are going to take over from SISU then? You desperately want them out but have you thought who'd take us over? Who's going to buy a name, a training ground, a small hardcore fanbase and a bunch of middling players? Because that all Coventry City are at the moment.

    Like I said, Identikit "SISU OUT!" brigade who ignore where the whole mess started.

    And the club have agreed that the £400K (not £150K!) is fine. It's the concessions that we need to get our hands on. If we don't then we are well and truly stuffed. I really do wish there was some way we could leave the bloody Ricoh and get our own ground. I have really come to dislike the...

    I do. And on a regular basis. But the identikit "SISU OUT!" brigade cannot see where the this whole sorry mess started. You can hint as much as you like about the Alan Higgs Centre. I can easily criticise the Charity as they have made a packet from the club and own a huge piece of real estate...

    And the rent was pegged at a ridiculous amount with the Quango thinking of the long term implications. Hence, why I think all on the ACL/Council side are greedy and are not thinking about the future of CCFC.

    YEs, you're right, of course. The whole Quango. Still, the Quango did not help the club. They charged an exorbitant rent from day one as they knew we had no other choice. Either way I'm sick of hearing about the poor little charity and the poor council.

    The rent and the purchase of our share was wholly advantageous to the Council/ACL quango. Regardless of who was right or wrong, no one in the "Football Supporting Council" gave a hoot about the football club and it's future. And that hasn't change, IMHO.

    I don't think anyone, at least I'm not, disputing that it was the Club - for that read Richardson - who started the ball rolling and we've been struggling ever since. However, I do think the Council certainly took advantage of us in our "hour of need". They bought our share ridiculously cheap...

    And what is the "bigger picture"? You tell me. People like you want SISU out. They're not going anywhere because they are all we have and there's no knight in shining armour waiting in the wings. Why? Because Coventry City is in all intents and purposes homeless; sleeping on someone's...

    You're right, Dongo. Maybe greed isn't the right word. However they are, for whatever reason, being bloody minded and unreasonable. OK, so they don't like SISU but both sides are damaging the Club.

    Conspiratorial nonsense with no basis in fact. Of course they wouldn't dump the club. The Ricoh is a football stadium and what does every football stadium need?

    Take of the blinkers and take your fingers out of your ears. It's not just SISU who have made this a bad situation all round. The Council and ACL need to look at themselves too. We could have all the concessions, etc for £24M?! No wonder they are thinking about their options and moving. No...

    Who to keep and who to let go

    Absolutely agree. Bailey has been outstanding in some games. He maybe having a quiet patch now but all players do. I agree with Gren's list but would add Bailey and Moussa. I genuinely believe we have an excellent keeper in Murphy and would prefer him to Westwood. Murphy makes some...

    Damage? They have a nice little goldmine, I think.

    Not much better than now. It only goes higher when we play a big team or like the other week when there's a sniff of Wembley. We've only managed to get over 11K on 6 or 7 occasions this year, which is rubbish.

    And what was the crowd yesterday? Remind me again.

    Ratings - and I'm not happy!

    Murphy - 7 - No protection from his defenders. Did well when called into action. Christie - 5 - I like Chrisite, but he must realise he doesn't have the skill to take people on. Pass it! Edje - 4 - One trick pony: Kick it hard and high. Everytime. Cameron - 4 - Not sure what to say...
