    JR2

    Yes SBT, they're an interested party in that they were part of the deal that's going to be analysed in JR2. As I understand it they could have joined themselves to the case anyway, had they wished. However, unless you know different, there's no scope for either unwinding the deal or claiming...

    JR2

    All fair enough, but if it's truly vexatious and without foundation then the court will bounce it out pretty quickly on that basis. Occam's razor (iirc) proposes that the simplest possible solution is the right one - but there's nothing simple about how any of this has been conducted. With all...

    Torch's Counselling Thread

    Sorry if you don't make it to Wembley mate, assuming that we do. As others have said, there will be no shortage of volunteers to take the lad, or help with getting tickets etc. should it come to it. You can focus on getting better for the League 2 play-offs next year, plus the 5th round tie...

    JR2

    We're not taking our landlords to court though - we're taking the council to court. Wasps are solely named as an 'interested party', in reality the only people at actual risk of having to pay damages are Coventry City Council (and most would see that as a fairly remote outcome). Wasps were...

    New stadium in 2026?

    In nine years' time west Coventry will have spread out to incorporate the NEC anyway, so it's a moot point CD. :)

    Ticket sales for the semi have started well...

    What kind of post is this? How on earth is this supposed to spark a good flame-war? ;)

    Fans need to look in the mirror

    Blaming the fans for the club's predicament is clearly putting the cart before the horse. What's happened on and off the pitch for the last 15 (or more) years is why we're struggling - that anyone would pay hard=earned cash to watch us at the moment is a testament to how loyal a large section...

    Pictures of Cov in the past and Coventry Pubs

    The New Phoenix on the A45 mate - run by Roy and Joy at time, a nicer couple you couldn't find. Forgave me all of the times I couldn't get the till to square and bought me the odd pint too. Loved the place.

    Pictures of Cov in the past and Coventry Pubs

    Did you get much done on Mondays, Wingy? ;) I used to have a Fiat Miafiori too. Cracking car, if somewhat porous in the finest Italian tradition - I guess the holes made it lighter. Five speed!

    Pictures of Cov in the past and Coventry Pubs

    I used to work in the Phoenix for a while (any photos HH?). In fact, looking back, I pretty much lived in there for a few years. In those days the buggers would be hammering the door ten minutes before opening time and ordering three pints right before closing. Ten minutes to drink up, ten...

    CAN WE GET NOTHING RIGHT IN THIS CITY!!

    Christ, I've agreed with Shmmee twice. But fair's fair, I agree. I know a couple of councillors, and they're certainly not bad people. However the organisation itself has made some pretty poor decisions, and I've got some questions about the motives (or possibly competence) of some of the key...

    Pictures of Cov in the past and Coventry Pubs

    Gutted that I never made it into the Codrington, Daz, it always looked like a brilliant pub from the outside but I just never made it into that part of town. The in-laws from Cheylesmore remember it with affection though, so your old man must've been getting something right. :)

    Mowbray's got a new job..

    Times must be hard at Chesterfield, at least we don't get our new managers to bring their own football to training. Probably.

    England Internationals Would Join Consortium Bid....

    I was there! In fairness Brody was a really nice chap to talk to, bit mad but quite good fun. Onye and Paul Clouting (the executive chap who'd been at Derby) were there too. Clouting, if that was his name, was very convincing and professional sounding and clearly had a plan to progress the...

    England Internationals Would Join Consortium Bid....

    In fairness you probably wouldn't mind having those two around for tea, if it's Micky Quinn though it's going to cost you a few bob in pies and beer...

    England Internationals Would Join Consortium Bid....

    I think it's this one Nick, OAKWOOD FINANCIAL ADVISERS LIMITED - Overview (free company information from Companies House), the one you linked to has been liquidated. With all due respect to Mr Jaspal, we've been here before and there are a few things about this story that make me nervous...

    red bull again

    Yep - I don't think there's any way that the FA/FL would allow us to change our name to "Red Bull Coventry" for example. Mind you, if RB spoke to SISU's solicitors they might say that they've got a chance if they take them on in the courts. ;)

    Mowbray's got a new job..

    Spot on. Thoroughly decent bloke, working under difficult conditions. Gave it his best shot, and when it didn't work out had the grace to leave without a fuss and at some personal financial cost to himself. I wish him nothing but success (except for this season if it turns out to be us or them).

    The Butts

    Ah, a stretched metaphor, you should perhaps warm up properly before you post. Still, makes a change from your usual straw man arguments I suppose. Basically then, you've got one bloke who gets paid by Wasps and it's easy enough to understand why he supports them. Fans like you supporting...
