Thanks NW. I didn't mean to have a pop at TLO, and I wouldn't have said anything if he didn't seem to be enjoying provoking an unnecessary row. In truth, I'd rather look forward rather than backwards - the big worry now is the possible deal with Wasps. Nothing stands still in CV6 it seems!

I'm not forgetting them - but what are the council supposed to do if the owners of the club don't want to come to the table, and keep insisting that they are building elsewhere?

Ah, it was the Council that sold Highfield Road was it. Not the owners of the club after a grand scheme. That's news to me. Got some evidence of that, or of any 'covenant' that could have prevented a sale between private third parties? Forgive me, but this looks a little made up and sounds a...

If the Wasps deal is accepted and the contract signed, then it's going to be a little late to make any offer. If you were looking to match or top Wasps' offer then I'd say now is the time to express interest because I suspect the Council would be legally obliged to listen. Beyond that point...

But CCFC, or at least SISU, are still standing by the line that they're building elsewhere. In the meantime, they're persisting with the legal appeal. I would say that to most people that shuts down the possiblity of doing a deal, or at the least the obligation to offer one. You're supporting...

Which then went on to make up ACL's humping great mortgage which even SISU accepted was the main driver of the rent. Regardless, there was still scope for a greatly reduced deal £400k, and possibly even £150k which was turned down. Please, let's not do this again. The one thing that is...

TLO, whatever your intent for the broadcast, you're the one who seemed to be having fun winding people up here - you know, chuck in a hand grenade, open a packet of crisps and enjoy. If rather than a cheap wind-up, you want the truth of the situation, rather than one man's opinion, then why not...

I'm sure there's a word for people who like chucking in forum 'hand grenades' and winding people up. I think it begins with 't' and ends with 'l'. If you want the truth about what's gone on, then make yourself a cup of tea and read through the two court case transcripts (the situation as...

I don't think Cyrus is the kind of player not to try, or at least I hope he isn't. I'd put his dip in form to the kind of thing that every young player goes through. In bigger teams they'd be rested with no one thinking the worst of it (the same thing will probably happen to Haynes at some...

I beg to differ, neither Clarke nor Wilson have been replaced by players of similar ability. Who is going to contribute as much as Moussa did from midfield in terms of goals? Baker splits opinion, but it's hard to see anyone other than perhaps O'Brien who has been brought in who might be any...

It sounds a lot like anti-social behaviour to me - the Council might be able to help... http://www.coventry.gov.uk/info/98/anti-social_behaviour_and_nuisance/655/anti-social_behaviour There's a whole range of criminal offences if the police need to be involved - starting from assault, and...

I see your point, but I think it's putting the cart before the horse somewhat. The club has been in steady decline, and fans have drifted away. To expect them to suddenly come back in even bigger numbers because a hideous wrong was righted doesn't make sense to me. In reality, the club has to...

Some people here will have spent thousands of pounds, and followed the City for decades. But they've seen the club going steadily backwards, and had it topped off by having it moved to Northampton for over a season by its owners. Net result, they've decided to go a bit less, or maybe decided...

Erm... using that logic shouldn't the club be charging children, seniors, and students the full adult price. Alternatively, the club should perhaps insist that all concessions should sit on a full-paying adult's lap? ;) If you're cheating to get in cheaper, then it suggests to me that you've...

So just to be clear then, it's not OK to moan about ticket prices - but it is OK to cheat to get in more cheaply? As for the beer prices, I've got the choice whether to drink or not and the quality of the beer at the stadium has been fairly consistent (poor, warm, but contains alcohol) since I...

See your point, but I can live with the prices in truth. It's not as though I'm going to have more than one or two in the ground. The frustrating thing for me is how slow the service is, and how few outlets are open. Regardless of whether it's ACL or the club that benefits, they could do a...

I don't think it's time to press the panic button yet, but this was a grisly performance. From what I've seen so far this year, most of the players we've got look like average League 1 sloggers to me. Haynes, Fleck and O'Brien are the only ones I can see that might be able to play at a higher...

As above, other than the fact I'm not really keen on MK Dons, I wish the bloke all the best.

Wycombe's not quite West London, agreed, but it's certainly a lot closer to it than Coventry. When their owner took over the club he accepted that West London was Wasps 'home' and that's where he said he wanted them to move back to. Hence discussions with Brentford. If this is about the odd...

Anytime any council tries to conduct business in secret, we should get nervous. I can accept that there might be a need for commercial confidence, but there's more than just money at stake here. There's the morality of the council being involved in a franchising scenario (which they largely...
