    South Stand for home fans?

    If you read the article it says the person who died was not involved in the violence outside the ground and suffered a heart attack later in the evening. Now of course its tragic that he had a heart attack but I'm not sure you can place blame on the club and use it as a reason for such excessive...

    Meeting with new backroom staff

    Or maybe Mowbray thinks the budget he has been offered is enough to do the job with? We are told last season was a top 8 budget, if we have the same again then we should be at least pushing for a play off spot.

    Meeting with new backroom staff

    McFarlane will be hoping Pressley gets a new job soon as I can't see him being here much longer if Mowbray is bringing his own people in.

    Positive Talks

    The slightly worrying part is it then says he has to meet with Waggott. If he has say in the decision and Mowbray is basically saying he's useless then that might prove to be a problem.

    Club aims to raise £35m from bond

    Knew we didn't have any players intelligent enough to work a computer :D

    Cranie and Bailey released from Barnsley

    A pretty fair summary. Still only 28 and judging by the number of appearances not had any major injury problems since leaving us. Could do worse than have him back.

    Club aims to raise £35m from bond

    You can't just put that! I'm trying to work out which of our former players were intelligent enough to be able to get past the registration page.

    Leon Clarke

    Torn on this one. On the one hand he did well for us but I wasn't happy with the way he left.

    When do we expect to hear about Mowbray ?

    Update in the CT: http://www.coventrytelegraph.net/sport/football/football-news/tony-mowbray-feeling-positive-after-9199294 "Tony Mowbray remains upbeat that he will be handed the opportunity to take Coventry City forward after “positive” talks with club owner Joy Seppala."

    Buy the club

    Wasps have stated on more than one occasion that they don't need us to remain at the Ricoh. Therefore they don't need the revenue we generate. Does it not therefore follow that they could give us access to that revenue?

    New stadium meeting with RBC

    As they suddenly seem so keen to help 'local' teams maybe they'll let us have a stadium on their land ;)

    Buy the club

    I think the best we can hope for now is 50 / 50 ownership with Wasps keeping all income from rugby and us keeping all income from football. Anything less than receiving the money we generate puts us behind every other club. Even if we receive that we are still somewhat behind as other clubs...

    Club aims to raise £35m from bond

    Is that an assumption or something that has come directly from the council as it contradicts what they have said previously. When Dave Nellist questioned the loan to ACL whilst cuts were being made the response he was given was that the money used to facilitate the loan was already assigned for...

    New stadium meeting with RBC

    Isn't this where the city plan becomes key? If RBC say that SISU's proposed site can't be used for housing and is designated for a sports facility wouldn't that impact on the value as it could no longer be used for housing? For me the ideal location would be the chunk of land between Rolls...

    Buy the club

    Do we really want to have owners who will load any available asset with huge debt to pay themselves and happily move us 100 miles away? I'm not sure I'd be looking to move back to the £1.2m a year rent. If Wasps can offer us rent of £100K why should we pay more for being successful? I also...

    New stadium meeting with RBC

    Fisher and Waggott had a meeting with RBC. Specific sites were discussed but are block out of the meeting minutes. RBC appear to be interested and have told them to get something more formal submitted by September so they can consider it for inclusion in the Rugby city plan.

    Club aims to raise £35m from bond

    You would certainly hope it is a silly conspiracy theory. One easily ruled out by the CT asking the question of the council. Best to do that before the rumour spreads. You know how these things go!

    Top goal scorer charts this season

    The turnover of players is ridiculous. How you can build a team when there's a complete new set of players every few months is beyond me. Don't think it helps retain fans either. Its hard to feel a connection to players when most of them are here a season at most.

    Club aims to raise £35m from bond

    Think you might be hearing from SISU's lawyers to reveal some user details. Intheknow could be their star witness!

    Club aims to raise £35m from bond

    In general that would be the case but if it turns out CCC have purchased them then there are some serious questions to be asked. Surely they wouldn't be that stupid.
