    Madine back!!!

    If he comes back we need to start playing a 442. By his own admission he's no good up front on his own so it's a waste of wages unless we're going to play to his strengths.

    Trust calls on Coventry City FC owners Sisu to sell-up and leave

    At the moment I wouldn't. Had high hopes for the trust, and to be fair they have done some good things, but it has gone downhill rapidly. Some of the comments from their 'higher ups' on here have been disgraceful. If I represented any of my employers in the way they have I'd have been fired. You...

    Trust calls on Coventry City FC owners Sisu to sell-up and leave

    Is there only 2,800 trust members? Thought it was more than that. So even with a completely loaded question they only get 18% saying SISU out. When will the trust be revealing their plan of action to remove SISU. I'm sure they have one and someone lined up to come in and replace them otherwise...

    Interesting idea. If they did want to push SP out if they tell him this new chap is taking training and doing other parts of the managers job would he put up with it and keep collecting his money or resign?

    ARS 4 The Vile 0

    Thought similar when watching it. For me SP is massively overcomplicating things. It's all well and good watching the World Cup or a top European team and thinking we should play like that but you're watching a different class of player. At this level I think you need to keep things very...

    Bob Ainsworth on ACL sale to Wasps

    This thread is mental. OSB, who's word has been taken as gospel until he says something that doesn't support CCC, has very clearly and simply explained the situation yet several posters refuse to acknowledge it and prefer to tow the council line no matter what. This is after a thread earlier in...

    If you are reading this Mr Byng I got a coffee out of Brody and breakfast off Dhinsa.

    I think there 0% chance of Wasps selling all of ACL, and probably about 1% chance they will sell half. So the options would be a long term deal that saw us get all the revenues we generate, again I think very unlikely. Or a new ground, and that's going to cost a decent chunk of change. Wasn't...

    ROCHDALE (home)

    I'll go 2-0 to Rochdale, would love to be more positive but I just can't see us winning.

    Let's assume for a minute Byng is a serious bidder. What deal is there to be done? Buying the club would be the easy part. As much as Fisher claims its not for sale there's no way that SISU wouldn't give consideration to a serious offer. The biggest stumbling block there is that they will most...

    Michael Byng on twitter

    The idea of Byng getting big money off the Chinese to put into the club / Ricoh is not totally unbelievable. It's the sort of thing that happens to smooth over relations for whatever business is they want to do. However it's hard to get excited about a potential takeover from someone who...

    Bob Ainsworth on ACL sale to Wasps

    I see, that's why nobody ever referred to Hoffman's offer as only being for £1 is it? If we're adding future outgoings to the cost of purchasing ACL why are we not deducting future income?

    Bob Ainsworth on ACL sale to Wasps

    Surely if you're going to take into account the £14m loan when discussing the purchase price you also have to factor in any money guaranteed to ACL through existing contracts. Otherwise you're taking a very one sided point of view.

    Championship Midfielder in on loan tomorrow?

    The reality is Bournemouth is now a step up whatever way you look at it. Playing at a higher level (and quite possibly PL next season), higher wages, bigger crowds. On no level is Coventry a bigger club than Bournemouth at present. Of course there is an arguement that given both teams history...

    Dominic Samuel signs

    Well it looks like at least one of Madine and Tudguy is going, if not both. Obviously hope this chap does well but the track record on signings isn't great. All we need now is some players that can actually create chances for all these forwards we have and we'll be in business!

    Waggott today...

    That would be great if we were actually building a team but we're not, it's pretty much a complete new squad every year. If we could see that we had, for example, 4 or 5 good players under multi-year contract and were just looking to add to that year on year to improve then what Waggott says...

    Down to 18th.

    We can go into the bottom 4 if everyone else wins their games in hand.

    SISU win at court...

    I suppose the best case scenario for us would be a judge to order that the loan be called in. Wasps would then have to find alternative financing, if they have difficulty obtaining that it may open up an opportunity to purchase at least a stake in ACL. Of course that requires a lot of things to...
