    The German model can’t be impossible to implement or they wouldn’t have been able to do it! Perhaps it would require a change of league rules whereby the next time a club changes hands, it must be guaranteed that 51% is owned by the fans.

    Since the implementation of the PL, how many Leicester situations have we had? (Only Leicester as far as I can remember. Blackburn might be given as another example, but they were bankrolled by Jack Walker). In Germany there are only two likely winners of their league. How many likely winners of...

    Can you give examples of posts on here calling for money the club hasn’t got to be spent on the team?

    Match Thread Oxford United vs. Coventry City Match Thread - Saturday 31st Aug

    I would pick O’Hare to start based on his two performances so far. Bakayoko was disappointing last night but that was perhaps no surprise. The really disappointing performance from the Watford game was that of Kastaneer. He seemed lost at times, miscontrolling the ball, giving it away as well as...

    Maybe then the model needs to change and that football clubs should be seen as community assets, run for and by the community that formed them. (Perhaps should apply to rugby clubs too to stop anymore franchise Wasps type moves happening). The only way I can see this happening is by giving fans...

    There are always a few that would say this. The vast majority just want there club to be well run and to have a plan for the way forward. You can definitely see that Robins has a plan and a policy and it seems to be working. What is our plan as a club? At the moment it would seem to be sit tight...

    This goes back to the point I made above. I don't think the decisions Sisu have made have ever been about the well being of our club. The way they run it is for the benefit of their investers, not the club and certainly not the fans.

    If this forum is a representative body of our fan base, there are very few if any posts asking for the speculate to accumulate model.

    I I think that this is a bit of a myth. Only an irresponsible minority of fans would ask for this. I think mot fans just want to see their club being run in a responsible and sustainable way, by owners who love the club and who make decisions that are based on what is best for the club, not on...

    What do people actually want?

    Can you see anyway that we will have a new stadium in Coventry in 3 to 5 years?

    Any owl over 6’2” is considered as having SEN in the bird world.

    Where is everyone?

    We did a “Zoo Keeper for the day” experience last year. The girl who looked after the birds of prey section was quite disparaging about owl intellect. She said that far from being the wise creatures that they are portrayed as, owls are actually quite stupid birds compared to some of their...

    What do people actually want?

    We have been to all of the games at St Andrews and have had the same experiences as yourself with regard to drivers. On every occasion we have seen crazy driving, young male drivers each time in the Small Heath and Bordesley Green areas. This includes jumping red lights, being over taken on...

    Match Thread Coventry City vs. Gillingham Match Thread - Saturday 24th Aug

    I think the big difference between Marosi and Burge is confidence, something that Oggy pointed out during Tuesday night’s game. He acknowledged Marosi was at fault for the first, possibly second Portsmouth goal too. However, as Oggy said, he didn’t let his mistakes affect him. He carried on as...

    Maddison to Ireland?

    I agree with this. It should be about heart not head.

    Mark Robins Is the GOAT

    This certainly isn''t true. The season before the cup final himself and Curtis saved us from almost certain relegation with only three games left. The following season, we were top ten almost all of the time, playing exciting football and we won The Cup. He did this on a shoe string. In the...

    I agree with most of this except the comment on Black. If ever there was someone hard done by it was him. Taking over from MacAlister, he turned us into an exciting winning team in much the same way that Robin’s did when taking over from Slade. He had Joachim, McSheffrey and Gudjonnson playing...

    If we groundshare on an indefinite basis with Birmingham or anyone else for that matter, it is hard to see that it will not eventually effect the playing side. Will Sisu continue to make up the shortfall to keep us competitive? Will fans who are giving it a go for this year continue into the...
