    Players that can't trap a bag of sand.....

    You seem to be forgetting that even though we weren't playing at the Ricoh at the start of the season they had plenty of other matches booked such as Football CV and Leicester U21s so ACL should have ensured the pitch was up to scratch.

    Pressure's on Mr Waggott

    He's got to move others out to do that which either means getting their parent club to agree to having them back or getting someone else to take them. That's not going to be easy for a start. He's then got to find players at this stage of the season that are match fit and available, again not...

    Martin and Stokes

    You would think they could either coach that out of him or stop him booting it and tell him to play a short easy ball.

    Defensive errors

    Interesting comments from Mowbray about individual errors and how he is changing the system so we're never reliant on one player. To me that implies that he thinks the players aren't good enough to stop making the errors and he therefore needs to minimise the impact they have.

    Donny Match Thread

    This seems to be a regularly thing now. Sorting that out would make a big difference.

    11 points off the play offs

    Top half finish would be a good achievement considering the position we were in when Mowbray took over.

    We haven't had back to back wins since September. Therefore you've got to be a bit odd to not think back to back wins in the last two games isn't a little out of the ordinary before you even consider that we were going into the drop zone and pretty much everyone was saying we were going down...

    Do you prefer us losing every week?

    New Coventry City FC stadium plan seems 'crazy', says football finance expert

    It's the current deal we have at the Ricoh with ACL which has I believe one more season and then a two season option, if activated, to run. After that who knows. If Wasps and / or ACL loss making at that point they may well be tempted to increase the rent and / or reduce the already limited...

    New Coventry City FC stadium plan seems 'crazy', says football finance expert

    Personally I hope that this time next year we are looking at promotion to the Championship at which point we need access to more revenues. f we assume nothing has actually been done to date then we need to acquire land, have plans drawn up, get planning permission, source funding and actually...

    New Coventry City FC stadium plan seems 'crazy', says football finance expert

    So what he's really saying is don't build a new stadium in the next two years while we are on the current deal that doesn't allow us to be competitive at a level above L1. After that a new stadium becomes a viable option. Given the amount of time a new stadium build will take would it not...

    New Coventry City FC stadium plan seems 'crazy', says football finance expert

    We've seen evidence from the last time we were in the championship that even with some of the bigger crowds in the division we were at the bottom end for revenue. That leads us to be uncompetitive as we will be restricted both in terms of FFP and in terms of incoming revenues. To all intents...

    “If the team gets back into the Championship, maybe then they should look at building a new stadium"

    New Coventry City FC stadium plan seems 'crazy', says football finance expert

    "Mr Wilson did say that owning a stadium would make the club more attractive to potential buyers" “The problems with the ground don’t make CCFC attractive." “They want to have a deal that includes a training ground, a stadium and this many players - but Coventry is much more complicated in...

    Pressley suing CCFC

    Didn't someone say that SP was offered another role? If that's was true could they argue his refusal of that position impacts on his rights to a termination payment? Anyway think this is being blown out of proportion. Imagine it will get sorted without the club being wound up!

    Anyone go to the Wasps game today?

    Not being used for a while will help but it will probably still cut up badly as they won't have been able to do much past patching it up. Was watching Reading the other day, who share with London Irish, and their pitch didn't look good either. Will wait and see what happens next season but I'm...

    CCFC Season Reviews

    Might be worth trying some of the people on this thread: http://www.skybluestalk.co.uk/threads/8987-Season-Reviews There must be someone with copies, if we can get each VHS transferred onto a DVD they'd be pretty easy to copy so even if it costs a few quid to do the initial transfer if a few...

    New Coventry City FC stadium plan seems 'crazy', says football finance expert

    However he says a reboot is possible in the event of relegation as the players will be out of contract. The same players will also be out of contract if we are not relegated. He also states a rental deal is viable in L1 but seems to imply this is not the case in the Championship which is...

    New Coventry City FC stadium plan seems 'crazy', says football finance expert

    Was going to say the same thing. As he's clearly seen full details of the business plan for both staying at the Ricoh and for building a new ground can we expect the CT to be publishing those details for us all to see? As unlikely as it may be it could be the case that the lease at a new stadium...

    Pressley suing CCFC

    Couple of jobs where he gets sacked after 6 months and he could be picked up 3 or 4 wages as a result of being bad at his job!
