Curious as to people's reasons for believing the club will become a franchise and permanently move away from Coventry, mirroring the Wimbledon/MK Dons situations? I for one can't see any reason why that would benefit anyone, including SISU, so why do people keep saying it?

Non points though, Dudley is in the west midlands which is already saturated with successful football clubs. As for Croydon...Crystal Palace, and they struggle to get support. No new club would attract a large fan base in either Croydon or Dudley.

Don't understand why people think the club could become a franchise? SISU know the only long term option is to bring the club back to Coventry and they have never suggested anything different. It makes no sense for them to have any other aim. As for the suggestion that this is a carbon copy of...

He'll be hoping for a Championship club, his wage demands will certainly reflect that!

What utter shite, and absolute paranoia. If SISU, as you say, don't give a toss about the fans, why would they go to the effort of planting people on this forum? They couldn't give a flying fuck what is said on here. My stance is that whilst I don't support SISU (they have made many poor...

If SISU want to minimise loses, or turnover a small profit, then a return to Coventry is absolutely paramount. This isn't the MLS.

Stop fucking scaremongering, it's boring. Whilst I'm extremely disappointed and frankly embarrassed to be sharing a ground with Northampton, I will probably go to a few games a season. Until there is evidence to prove otherwise I'm treating it as a temporary move. 'RIP CCFC' is bollocks, we...

I still don't think we could happily play in the Ricoh for the next few seasons whilst building a new ground elsewhere in the city.

I still think the majority of footballers rule with their heart not their head, which still makes us an attractive proposition. If we can offer the same wages, then I think most players would still choose us, if only based on our history and fan base.

The fact we are Coventry City in the third division. If you're a third division standard player, you'd pick Coventry over most other clubs at that level regardless of the off the field matters.

SISU own Coventry City Football Club, they are inherently linked with us. If they own the stadium, then we own the stadium. If SISU owned half the stadium we would not pay rent, it'd be like transferring £100 from your savings account to your current account. Were they to ever sell the club...

are we secretly building this stadium? Would ACL offer such a rent deal if we were planning to leave the Ricoh in four or five seasons time?

Dongonzalos I take your point, and I agree it seems a pointless venture when there is a world class stadium already in the city. However, I don't believe ACL want to sell their share in the stadium, at least not at a reasonable price, and SISU do not want to enter into a rental agreement. It's...

I cannot, this is my opinion.

How do you know SISU cannot afford to build a new stadium? If the decision is seen as economically rationale and is supported by their investors then it might be viable. What they won't do is continue with a rental agreement that is unsustainable, or pay over the odds for a share in the Ricoh...

Due to becoming generally disenchanted with all things Coventry City, I have avoided this forum for a good few months. However, I have just read the entire thread created by the user I shall name, 'Coffee', and thought I could review it's contents for my own understanding and possibly...

The teams just relegated definitely have better players (albeit they may yet lose them). Regarding strikers, just off the top of my head Cassidy and Griffiths both at Wolves, Sinclair and Gayle at Posh and Baldock at Bristol City (one or two debatable). Think we can look forward to a very tough...

Leon Best vs. Portsmouth in the cup, or Mifsud against Bristol City I think it was

Gunnarsson was unbelievable in his first season, easily the best teenager I've seen in a city shirt. I remember Blackburn away in particular, 2-2 draw in the FA Cup and he absolutely dominated them. Absolutely agree that it went to his head a bit, but I think he appears to have settled down once...
