    Butts Park Arena is new home

    What are we calling 'fail'? My ideal scenario is Wasps bugger off back to London and we get the stadium at a reasonable cost (sure we can have lots of debate over what is reasonable). If we have a new stadium I would still want the same as I don't think they should be here. I'm sure they have...

    Rip Jimmy Hill

    If anyone knows when the funeral is what about having a whip round and sending a wreath or donation from SBT?

    Rip Jimmy Hill

    I would guess the funeral is going to be a family thing as they are having a 'celebration' at the cathedral.

    Butts Park Arena is new home

    It accrue's until it gets paid or written off. In this instance written off, or a least negociated down, is the most likely. Basically the same as when SISU turned up. They didn't pay everything off, they made a p in the £ offer. According to acounts, well OSB's post about the accounts, SISU...

    Butts Park Arena is new home

    I have no idea if it was done 3 years ago. If it was it certainly wasn't made known to us. Of course it should have been but in Anderson's positon would you trust anything Fisher had come up with that is potentially 3 years out of date? As Anderson said the situation now is different, the Ricoh...

    Netflix - Making a murderer

    Downloaded this the other day, haven't got round to watching it. Is it told from one side or can you be fairly confident its an accurate representation of what happened?

    Butts Park Arena is new home

    I want someone to look at all possible options and tell us the best way forward. If that chosen way forward restricts us to a certain level I want to know that as well. This new chap has said he's going to look at everything before making long term commitments. I'm happy with that. He seems to...

    Butts Park Arena is new home

    Doesn't read like that to me at all. Reads to me as he is looking at all available options to come up with the best plan. Clearly that's not going to be done in 5 minutes so while he is doing that they have activated the 2 year extension on the current Ricoh deal. Doesn't mean he's a fan of...

    Back to being the biggest club in Coventry?

    Are those different match day incomes to the ones we don't need?

    Announcement ?

    Was surprised to find out the other day there are plently of people who actually still believe the world is flat. Many of them also believe NASA is a hoax and space doesn't exist!

    Possible Loan ?

    Better to not allow the PL clubs to sign hundreds of players. They aren't developing them, they're loaning them out to generate revenue and hoping one or two come off and become first team players. The rest get released or sold. There's currently reported to be 166 PL players out on loan...

    Possible Loan ?

    You look at both Akpom and Henderson and it shows the glaring problem with the current system. Henderson had 1 appearance for Arsenal and 2 on loan for us in 3 seasons. Then got released, went to Hull and played 1 game, farmed out on loan to Stevenage and played another 3. Released again and...

    No we haven't got £2m a year interest to pay out.

    Butts Park Arena is new home

    Actions do indeed speak louder than words but they guy has only been here a few weeks so I think he deserves a bit of time to stand or fall on his own actions. I get what you say about handovers etc but if I was in Anderson's situation I'm not sure I'd stake my reputation on anything Fisher has...

    Back to being the biggest club in Coventry?

    They're creating their own problem here by devaluing the brand. People aren't buying tickets as there have been so many freebies, knocking the price down now isn't going to encourage anyone to pay full price in the future. People can bang on about how successful the move is all they want but...

    Back to being the biggest club in Coventry?

    Permanently or for one game? Not much point dropping them for one game when there's free tickets being passed out like confetti! They made a big play when they moved here of tickets being cheaper than at Wycombe, if they're putting them down more how long until ticket revenue is lower than it...

    Possible Loan ?

    Hopefully if we get someone from Arsenal its a better deal than last time and they aren't constantly going back for youth matches.

    Put Hucks out on the wing then you can have Dion and Keane up front.

    I would highly recommended reading the piece with Chris Anderson on Sky Blues Blog: http://www.skybluesblog.co.uk/part-one-the-niis-meet-chris-anderson/ All four parts are worth a read but part one covers the stadium stuff. Sounds like he's come in and is starting from scratch and assessing...
