    Newport friendly

    But the fact that last seasons frees weren't great is exactly the point a lot of people are missing. A lot of people on here seem fine with losing Clarke, Wilson, Murphy etc as we will bring in more frees. If anyone says that is a risky plan it's all, this and that player were free and did well...

    Baker to Barnsley

    How do you know they all wanted to leave? Did the ones saying they wanted to say want to leave? Of course even if they did want to leave you would need to know why, maybe if they thought we would be back at the Ricoh and mounting a genuine promotion challenge they wouldn't be so keen to go...

    Baker to Barnsley

    We should be one of the best supported clubs in L1, obviously not at the moment due to our owners actions, and therefore be in a position financially to be challenging for promotion. It's not like people are going around saying we should spend crazy money to storm back into the PL. We should be...

    Baker to Barnsley

    This is what I find odd, players have left who have a decent track record and a lot of the players coming in have poor stats yet the majority don't seem concerned. Lots of comments about how good it is to cut the wage bill and not to worry as the players coming in might come good. Seems a risky...

    Resolutions

    One of the problems with the vote was that if you weren't attending you had to nominate a proxy, so if, like me, you didn't know anyone attending you couldn't vote. What's needed is a system that allows all members to vote when required as you're never going to get thousands to turn up to these...

    Baker to Barnsley

    We seem to have reached an odd point where there is very little objection to our players leaving. Its all well and good saying that players can come in and do just as well but not all transfers work out and you only need one not to work out and we have a weaker squad than last year and lets face...

    Six more MPs back calls to #bringCityhome

    Good stuff. Noticed they all say Coventry rather than Coventry area. Aren't these the kind of people SISU said were falling over themselves to try and get us moved to their area?

    Liverpool the new Southampton

    What's happening to Southampton makes me wonder what the point is in being a football supporter these days. Of course teams have always sold players, even the biggest teams, but Southampton have an owner who has said they will put more money in to get the club into the champions league but after...

    Baker to Orient 150k

    When was it that all the contracts got changed? Didn't pay cuts happen then with it being moved to a lower basic salary and more performance related bonuses?

    Baker to Orient 150k

    Based on just last season Daniels with 3. It's even worse if you look at our 2 seasons in L1 combined. Top scorers: Clarke 23 Wilson 22 Baker 19 Moussa 17 McGoldrick 16 Elliott 4 Fleck 4 Then your answer would be Fleck who last season managed 1 league goal.

    Baker Speaks On Losing Captaincy

    He's scored 25 goals in 2 L1 seasons from Midfield, surely that has to be worth at least a token fee?

    A few thoughts on recent statements

    When they started down this road I remember posting that by now we should have seen them purchase land, full plans and a planning permission submission but that wouldn't mean the stadium was actually happening as that can all be done relatively quickly and easily and without chucking too much...

    Appeal Decision?

    The only reason it is worth SISU continuing is if it's having any impact on ACL. It must be very clear to them by now they aren't going to win an appeal so any continuation means they believe they are succeeding in distressing ACL despite there being little evidence to support this.

    A few thoughts on recent statements

    I wonder how much the stadium costs when not in use. Can't imagine its a huge amount as things like security would be in place already for the rest of the site. Pitch maintenance is only needed if the stadium is being used, what else needs to be done, a quick clean up before it's used? It's...

    Sponsor needed for Coventry Amateur team.

    I had no idea Coventry Sporting had changed name. Any particular reason it was done?

    CCLSC conversation with TF

    I'm sure we all do however to have a chance of success any proposal has to be realistic. Coming in saying we want everything for nothing is not the best starting point in my opinion. They can make a gesture like dropping further legal action without the club losing any money, why not do...

    CCLSC conversation with TF

    On that basis surely then it would be a fair offer if ACL said you can pay £150K a year without those revenues or £250K a year with them. If SISU are paying for them wouldn't it work like that? You will most likely find that when any other company hires the Ricoh, either the exhibition halls or...

    Trust the Trust + kcic is taking a break!

    I remember this time last year when we had a cup game at Orient and it was asked if people who were NOPM should go as the club would get a cut. The general consensus was that trying to apply it to games like that would be more trouble than it was worth as some people wouldn't even realise the...

    The offer

    Neither of those options seem to hold up to much scrutiny. A joint investor will want a decent shot at a return and any co-development will need SISU to have something that is more attractive than all the other plots of lands available. In both cases you're really reliant on SISU somehow adding...

    Seeing as we can't ask Sisu questions

    If ML can't get around and do any work for the next 8 weeks he should sign up on here and answer some questions!
