    Portsmouth- what on earth

    in his post match comments last night he said he knew nothing about the Blackpool job, hadn't been contacted etc etc. this morning he was off up there 'to visit family' and tonight he's their new manager. They must have seen him driving him in to town and decided to offer him the job on the...

    1998-2005 boardroom controversy and tales

    My head hurts! Has anyone got a total figure for the cost of the whole project and who put what into it or is that too simple?

    Mark Robins asks City Fans to be patient

    I've heard a couple of people near seriously talking about why Robbins should go, doesn't take long does it!

    Collins Celebration

    This is the key point to me, celebrate all you want but no need to race over and do it in front of our supporters. That sort of behaviour could get him in trouble for inciting the crowd. He also made another gesture towards our end just before the game kicked off again as his name was read out...

    Robins: Not happy with tactics

    it makes a nice change from "i don't know what the problem is" or "they aren't doing what I'm telling them"

    Apparentl Joy threatens liquidation if half stadium is vetoed

    I would guess that the process would be that SISU would agree a deal with Higgs as it's their half they're looking to purchase. The council then has a veto over any change in ownership so they would have a vote on that basis.

    Trouble in Swindon

    saw some trouble starting up by a burger van as I was driving away from the ground. prob about 10-15 people but couldn't tell who was Swindon and who was Cov. Can't imagine it came to much as the police were on the scene pretty swiftly.

    Coventry vs York Match Thread

    should we read anything into Kilbane not getting a mention in the injury update and also not being in the side or even on the bench.

    Kevin Kilbane on Talksport

    have to say that was my first thought. will this be an injury that keeps him out for months I wonder?

    Is Stuart Linnell correct?

    I've always had an issue with the notion that if SISU hadn't come in when they did we wouldn't exist. For a start it was a self imposed deadline and the reason it seemed to be put in place was to force Robinson to take less than he wanted. Worse case scenario would have been going into admin...

    Opinion of Robins from a Barnsley fan

    I would take stabalising right now. We're in free fall so pretty much anything has to be an improvement.

    Betting halted

    There's nothing in the local paper here about Appleton going and none of the Pompey fans I know have heard anything about it apart from what I've told them! Not sure that he is on a month to month contract. All the players are as they are all new signings and can't sign for longer than that as...

    Coventry City, Highfield Road

    if we're in fantasy land the best bet for a city centre ground would prob be to develop the Butts. I think there's only 1 stand that holds 4K, if you built up the other 3 sides you should be able to get a 10-15K ground. Could plan in a similar way to Brighton so that as and when needed it's easy...

    Morning After...

    I've stopped saying that as it never does get any better. Sure we all thought after last season it can't get any worse and here we are in the relegation places. I hate this league and I hate having so many midweek matches. If we just played Saturdays at least it would only be the weekend that...

    Coventry City, Highfield Road

    The theory was (which sounded quote good at the time) that Highfield Road only generated revenue on matchday and was pretty much empty every other day of the year. The idea was to move to a new ground with hotels, conference centre etc which would generate money for the club. At one point I...

    Linnell's off talking tripe again (interactive)

    Linnell is getting worse by the week. Used to like him but it's time to get somoene new in. how many texts did he say 'i don't really understand what you mean' about.

    Portsmouth- what on earth

    it's because the points deduction is actually for coming out of admin with a CVA where not all of those owed money were consulted. so as and when they come out of admin the points will come off. they got it as the league weren't happy with the way the new CVA was handled in that none of the...

    Kevin Kilbane

    yes our fans can be over critical and quick to get on players backs but the players shouldn't bite back. at the end of the day the fans at the game are essentially customers of the club, in what other industry would you keep your job after telling a customer to fuck off?

    cap one cup 3rd round

    Only thing I can see online is that they offered Leeds just under 9k for a FA Cup match. Imagine we will be offered the same as there won't be big demand from the home fans.
