    Mowbray

    Depends what you mean by threadbare. Moussa, Baker, Wilson, Clarke, Christie, Murphy, all of whom he inherited wouldn't be my idea of threadbare.

    Mowbray

    My point was that you were championing a manager like Slade who played such an ugly (and losing ) form of football but make quite a sneery comment ("Lord Mowbray" and the comments on the bottom of the Daily Mail article) about someone who, despite his failure at the end, had some notable...

    Arse Licking NOUN mass nounBritish vulgar slang The use of flattery or other obsequious behaviour in order to gain favour. ‘that minister got his job from arse-licking’ Why would anyone be biased? What favour is to be gained by the use of flattery. Is Mowbray giving out a tenner to everyone...

    Mowbray

    Weren't you the chap who hailed Russell Slade as the Messiah? It can be said that in the end Mowbray failed here. He is in good company with another 7 or 8 managers who have all failed here. The one consistent factor is Sisu. When TM first took over, we were heading for the drop. Anyone who...

    Happy Birthday Big George

    I think he was at the memorial to JH in the cathedral.

    I think the day at Ryton idea would be good if it was extended to all season ticket holders, not just a prize draw. If this was spread over the season on selected days I think it would be an incentive. They could include other offers such as an open day at the Ricoh ( I realise they would have...

    League one/two released players 2017

    I liked Moussa when he was here. Maybe Robins can get him playing again. However, I wasn't that impressed by his performance against us at Bescot this season. Did very little of note. This was only one game and if he could play in the way that he did in his first spell here he would certainly be...

    My 26 years of being a Coventry City fan

    Brian Clough as manager. Also Malcolm Alison although that was an escape seeing how badly he did away from Joe Mercer.

    16/17 post-mortem

    Our finish was the lowest ever by a Coventry team in the third tier. That fact plus those mentioned by Jim Brown would suggest that it is.

    Jack Finch

    I thought he played really well in that game too. The problem is that apart from playing under Pressley when he looked off the pace and ineffectual, he has rarely featured under any other manager. He doesn't seem to be rated by any of them.

    Bristol City Fan In Peace!!

    I agree. I think we win in the worst run club stakes And also in the competition for club in the most trouble.

    Sisu are definitely NOPM. Less committment than the fans that they are asking to renew.

    Rumour: Hoffman and Elliot takeover negotiations

    I thought you just said all of the players he brought in were shite?

    Just replying to the poster who said a good season next year would be to finish in the ten ten in League Two. This is Coventry City we are talking about. If Forest Green get promotion this season, a good season for them, with all due respect, might be a top ten finish. For us, who only ended up...

    Rumour: Hoffman and Elliot takeover negotiations

    According to Fisher at the Trust meeting, he felt Wasps would agree to a short term deal.
