But the managers signed the wrong players. The fact we were looking at the likes of Wilson in the Championship showed we did have the money available for players that should have been good enough to avoid the disaster that this season has been.

Don't believe he gets involved with that does he, just supplies the budget numbers. Down to Venus, Mowbray and Slade this season, no-one else.

Is that what Tim has just said?

I am Sadler Road, so just the next junction.

Yes, but it didn't and it had been today it wouldn't have happened with all the media coverage, TV, radio, reporters etc.. Therefore it's a moot point.

The poor form wasn't the delay or the flashing up of the score on the scoreboard. It was the collusion to not participate in a competitive match. I have to say I was angry myself at the time. I wanted us to try and win the match. The problem here is the 40 year timescale. I just couldn't bring...

If everything is negative that has to include Oggy too surely! ;)

If everything is negative at Coventry City then surely Oggy has to go hasn't he?

Yep, been up the spire a few times.

The Ponticelli's? How many have we got?

It was, but then it became farcical. That of course though had absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with Bristol City at all!! They were completely innocent and took no part in the debacle. As Jimmy Hill also 'owned' the police at the time (as well as the country, monarchy and half of Europe) he...

I earn 100k too. Just takes me 10 years to get there that's all.

Oh yes, of course the players knew. The scoreboard thing is a just a red herring. Word gets from the touchline to the players for sure, course it does. The notion that Jimmy Hill instructed the scoreboard operator to put up the score for the players' benefit is pure nonsense. The delay thing...

Not if none of us turn up we won't.

Not fit enough is something entirely different to too fatigued isn't it?

Or instead of Venus.

I have looked on their website and can't see any mention of that at all. Is it in the small print?

I worked with a number of Sunderland fans for many years here in Coventry. Not one of them ever mentioned that match or discussed it at all with me. Had lots of chats when we beat them 6-1 though. ;) Must be something in the air up north for those up there to still be so bitter.

It was immediately after Summerbee ended Froggatt's career that I began hating James Bolam. I have never forgiven him since.

Fare conclusion. ;)
