    Questions for Simon Gilbert

    I think it's called Bellamyitus. An unfortunate condition where the carrier seems unaware of his disease, but is compelled to act like an absolute knob. ;)

    Questions for Simon Gilbert

    Don't forget the Higgs Trust. It seems SISU can't trust them either (and vice versa). It does seem odd that they end up in court with a lot of the people they're supposed to have been partners with. It's not just unique to CCFC either, as we've seem from those other court cases. I'm sure...

    Coventry City's Joe Murphy wants new contract with Sky Blues

    I'd go with that too. Having said that I have serious doubts that the club either would or possibly could offer more to Christie or Moussa, given the constraints SISU have chosen to tie themselves into at Northampton. I can't see that Murphy would be asking for much more though, given his age...

    Questions for Simon Gilbert

    Exactly. In fairness Simon's doing a great job, and can only report the answers he's given, but this lack of trust thing is utterly bogus. That's precisely what contracts are for. If ACL said we don't trust SISU and therefore we won't have the club back, they'd be slaughtered and rightly so...

    But I was just searching for recipes, love. Honest. (Has to be worth a try).

    Questions for Simon Gilbert

    I got caught looking at pictures of tarts on the internet recently, the missus still hasn't forgiven me. ;) (Just thought I'd get there first!)

    Byng still interested in the club

    Mate, I've known you long enough through this forum. No need to worry about me lending it you, I'll just give you the fiver. Get yourself a pint with the change. ;)

    Byng still interested in the club

    C'mon fellas - 'genuine'? He's been chucked out of his own professional association for dishonorable conduct, that doesn't qualify as 'genuine' to me. At one point his 'backers' couldn't work out how to send an email, which was laughable. Then it changed to them not understanding the...

    Byng still interested in the club

    You'd think if Chinese investors were so worried about the legalities of the Ricoh issue they'd steer well clear of a man who has been chucked out of his professional institution. Personal opinion: Byng hasn't got any significant backers, and this is some kind of a pipe dream or even worse a...

    City fans not as friendly at Brentford as at Sixfields?

    Violence is never right, though it now seems this has been downgrading to jostling and throwing beer rather than anything more serious. Either way, unacceptable imho. Having said that, I wonder what is in Fisher's (and Labovitch's) mind. Do they really think it's simply a few malcontents in...

    Steven Pressley says it's vital Coventry City keep hold of star striker Callum Wilson

    No, but given he was injured from March until the end of that season I wonder how much interest there might have been for him. Wilson's a rather different prospect, I'd say, particularly given his age. When we were a championship club looking to buy young players to improve and then move on at...

    Steven Pressley says it's vital Coventry City keep hold of star striker Callum Wilson

    So you think Wilson will still be here next season then?

    Steven Pressley says it's vital Coventry City keep hold of star striker Callum Wilson

    I think the odds are that even if Wilson did want to stay, the owners will sell him. If they do that over SP's head he may not like it very much. My gut feel is that if we're still at Northampton next year Wilson will definitely go (to fund the shortfall), and SP may well go (combination of...

    Judicial Review thread

    Joking aside, I think the Higgs/SISU court case will end up showing a lot of the evidence that SISU intend to put up for the JR. Should be interesting - that's on April 1st.

    Judicial Review thread

    Blimey, that's keen. Is the team sheet available yet?

    Best opposition player you've seen

    I remember Michael Owen having a blinder against us at Highfield Road - really was a different class that day. He got a deserved ovation from the whole ground when finally subbed. Proud to be a fan that day, never hurts to acknowledge true class, even in the opposition (imho).

    Statement Issued By Sky Blue Trust

    Never works if you have to explain it :D Given all of the crap that was thrown at them last time, I suspect Steve will be delighted to be in Preston. Ahem. ;)

    Petrasso on a Season Long Loan?

    I'd agree with that. Interesting that my mate, a die-hard QPR fan, had never heard of him. Probably a good thing if we're trying to hold onto him. ;)

    What is the point ?

    "Ignore" is rather excellent. It gives you the added satisfaction of knowing that anyone firing a cheap shot to try and get a rise out of you just ends up sitting there, frustrated. Cheers me up no end. Recommended. :) Edit: (There's only one on my list fwiw - don't doubt that I'm on few...

    Statement Issued By Sky Blue Trust

    What, you mean this article here? http://www.theguardian.com/football/blog/2013/dec/02/coventry-city-owners-northampton-league-one-sisu No sign of a retraction - I guess on that basis that SISU's threats of legal action were a tale full of sound and fury, signifying nothing. About time they...
