    Hey lads, bit of help regarding buying a Coventry shirt.

    The shirts are generally quite a tight fit, they seem to forget fans aren't in the same condition as they players! XXL would probably be similar to XL in a regular shop purchased t-shirt. Zero chance of them getting more in now, the stock levels have been like this for months and we're due a...

    Mowbray looking to add

    If Mowbray has been able to work out this quickly that the squad we have is not good enough to avoid relegation how could Waggot and Pressley not see it? If we genuinely do have a top 6 budget then Waggot has questions to answer about the standard of the squad. Specifically we need to know if...

    Auditors query Coventry City FC as a going concern

    Pretty much all clubs will rent as it makes sense to have the stadium management separate to the club so I don't think we can really take SISU to task for suggesting that sort of setup. The key is what exactly we are paying and what we get in return. For example if they said £100K a year for the...

    Auditors query Coventry City FC as a going concern

    That's a key point, is it 50% of revenue or 50% of profit. Two very different things and of course it's only matchdays anyway. Some of us have and got refused an answer under a claim of it being confidential.

    The revenue from all those free tickets must be huge!

    Trust Reaction To Club's Accounts

    For me it is fine for the trust to take an anti-SISU stance but it should be done in a professional manner allowing them to maintain dialogue with the club. Just saying SISU should sell isn't really helping things as there's no buyer in the picture. Maybe a better way forward would be for the...

    Fisher on new stadium

    SISU didn't need to be interested for there to be a competitive bidding situation. For all we know there may be other parties who would have been interested in the Ricoh had it been placed on the market. Doesn't need to be a sports 'franchise' could be stadium or arena operating companies, hedge...

    Fisher on new stadium

    The key point there is you say a public asset was going down the swanee, the exact opposite of what CCC were claiming. If it was indeed the case that ACL were in difficulties and needed to be offloaded it should have been put on the market, make it known to all interested parties what terms the...

    Fisher on new stadium

    A few posts ago you were saying that was preposterous so which is it? Surely if it could be done then SISU talking about a new stadium should not have had an impact on the stance of CCC?

    Fisher on new stadium

    It's how business works. To give you an example several months ago I sold one of my business premises, it wasn't on the market but myself and my business partner were approached. The potential purchaser made it very clear we were second choice and he was negotiating for his first choice and...

    Fisher on new stadium

    What do you want to know? Any proposed new stadium wouldn't have impacted negotiations in the slightest. I would have thought anyone with a modicum of common sense would have worked out that if SISU had become owners of ACL / Ricoh any plays for a new stadium, if they even exist, would be...

    Fisher on new stadium

    Because I am very concerned about what will happen post SISU. You seem happy that the council have left the club in a position it will most likely never recover from as it puts one over on SISU. No one is saying SISU have behaved well but you can't say the council have been much better. Look at...

    Fisher on new stadium

    You have totally missed the point. Even if you assume I don't believe all those things they are all things SISU have done. The point is SISU won't be here forever and, no matter if anyone believes them or not, the club now has a major problem no matter who takes over. Remember CCC repeatedly...

    Bradford match thread

    Bit strange, either he's spotted something in training that he thinks we can capitalise on or Samuel has a bit of a knock. I suppose the other thing could be if he thinks Samuel isn't up for 90 mins he might think he'll have a bigger impact as a sub later in the game.

    Fisher on new stadium

    SISU have been terrible owners to put it mildly but with a bit of luck they won't be our owners forever. What CCC have done in selling the stadium to Wasps has caused a huge, possibly insurmountable, problem for the next 250 years. Pretty much the only attraction to potential buyers of the...
