    Want another dodgy Ricoh rumour? No? Well you're getting one anyway

    what was the date of the FL meeting when they were going to make a decision on the £590K, can't be far off now.

    Why was the thread "why we go to sixfields" closed

    Can think of a few people on here this applies to!

    #CarlBakerDay

    I'm not sure that the issue people have is with the fact Baker might be gone so much as the way it's been handled. Last season when there were rumours of other clubs sniffing around after him SP was very clear that he didn't want Baker to leave and he was integral to the team. In the off season...

    Want another dodgy Ricoh rumour? No? Well you're getting one anyway

    So Fisher says both sides need to accept that situation is over yet they will be appealing. How can ACL accept the situation is over if SISU are still dragging them to court again? I don't understand the logic of we lost so badly we have to appeal. Doesn't an appeal make more sense if its a...

    Sky Blues return is "essential" for businesses to survive

    So lets say this study is done, firstly who is paying for it? To do it properly is a pretty complex task. It's not just a case of assessing the money lost by businesses close to the Ricoh you have to study where that money is now being spent so you can have the full picture. For example if...

    west brom at the ricoh

    Don't think the rates have been released publically but they have stated they are making a profit so they must be receiving more than they are borrowing, how else would they make a profit?

    I thought the money for the ACL loan came from a different source not out of CCC funds, is that not correct?

    Coventry pay to resurface Sixfields pitch as waggot predicts us playing there

    Come on shmmeee, everyone knows that Compass working for AEG would bring in millions more than Compass' own joint venture company. It must be true Tim Fisher told us.

    Have sisu paid the £100 000 grand yet ?

    To be fair the club do have a habit of releasing statements when they manage to do a task that for other clubs would be routine.

    What shocking news, it's so unlike them!

    Coventry pay to resurface Sixfields pitch as waggot predicts us playing there

    That would be an obvious plus but is it achievable? I would imagine the whole point behind the creation of IEC and partnering with Compass is they can operate at a much lower cost than if ACL, or in the future the club, operated themselves. Should that not increase the margin?

    The sick state of football

    at some point the lower league teams will start going out of business one after the other and / or not be able to afford to develop youngsters to the required level. What then? There will be just the premier league teams left who can't develop their own youngsters. Their answer will be to rely...

    80% chance of return to Ricoh this season

    That's great but the FL don't have to do that. All they have to do is enforce their own rules and say Coventry City must play in Coventry. Doing that doesn't say they have to play at the Ricoh, that may be the only available ground up to league standard but that's hardly the fault of the FL and...

    west brom at the ricoh

    a paying customer is a paying customer. everyone keeps banging on about the stadium never being used but that's now two tenants they've got in. better for them than it not being used surely? as we're not playing there the only real issue is if this causes a problem should we decide we want to...

    Transfer Fees, Number of players in and out...................

    What would you call a young player who was the 3rd highest L1 goalscorer last season? Surely that's the definition of a hot prospect. Was interesting to see when I looked up the L1 top scorers last season Wilson is the only one who has left so the idea that it was inevitable that he would leave...

    Our squads going to be huge with those players plus the ones we get with the cup game money and the Wilson and Clarke money.

    Squad numbers

    The season before last he won every player of the year award going. Six months ago SP was saying there was no way we would be selling him and how important he was to the team. Now we've stripped him of the captaincy and won't even give him a squad number. Something definitely seems off and with...

    Coventry pay to resurface Sixfields pitch as waggot predicts us playing there

    I think if you've rented a football stadium without thinking to check if there was a decent pitch you've made a slight oversight!
