I'm surprised the usual protagonist are not filling the board? Did the cat get your tongue after two wins away from home on the trot? I'm not suggesting we have suddenly turned into promotion candidates but all those dissenters this week and the vitriol for SP and the team, you would never...

It's a funny old game but if we were to suddenly find ourselves top of the Championship AKA Bournemouth, do you think they would start to look more seriously at getting hold of us from SISU? If we dream for a moment and got promoted back to the premiership we would be in the stronger position...

I think the most outrageous thing there was "pushing for a top six place" veiled quote. This should be a good ride then. Can't wait! Lets start that with another away win today, so we can start believing.

It was 2005/6 season. This was the team that faced Stoke that day: Fulop, Whing, Hall, Page, Ady Williams, Hughes, Duffy, Doyle, Adebola, McSheffrey, Scowcroft. Subs: Stern John, Andy Morrell, Clayton Ince, Claus Jorgensen and Issac Osbourne. Where are they now?

Just cleared out an old drawer and came across an old programme. Without using Google or checking, can you name the season we had a 21,500 average gate, Clinton Morrison and Marlon King were among the leading scorers in the division, we had just lost at Leicester last time out and our squad...

Now we have loaded the gun with questions who do we get to fire it?

That would be a very good signing - in my opinion.

Frustration sets in every time we lose. Look you have to accept tonight we were the under dogs and did not expect to win at table toping Bristol fielding a full strength side did we? So put it into context a little. It's been said we were the better side first half by some distance and...

Very well said OSB 58 and I hope those in their ivory towers will see sense in responding to some of those points. It deserves some consideration at least. You personally have demonstrated you are well versed in matters as far as can be garnered and I applaud you for that insight. Your patience...

The original letter from the trust is patronizing and poorly written in so much as it almost demands answers. That is not the way you go about things if you want those questions answering. The content of those questions are not in question themselves, we all want the answers but it simply is...

I really don't follow what you are banging on about here?

I think you play to your strengths. That would mean Haynes at LB and Reda back in the middle where Webster tends to tire after 65 minutes of getting his head on everything. What we need right now is a Dennis Wise type figurehead in the middle of the park. Who if anyone could fit that role...

SP wants him to play a wide role like Gareth Bale and although not comparing the two where they are in their respective careers, never the less feels this is the role for him. What do you think?

One is lock stock and barrel the other a few shares, no income streams etc etc. The length of lease makes all the financials an entirely different proposition.

Not the same thing at all though was it? The 250 year lease is for the whole of ACL/Higgs and therefore said stadium complete. A very different matter indeed.

I want us to own our own stadium and that should have been the Ricoh. Now we have lost the chance of even getting the next best thing, a 250 year lease. So we can only rent from WASP and I see no reason for them to offer much of the income streams of what they own to CCFC? This means we are...

Who in their wildest dreams would have thought a 250 years lease for peanuts was an offer the council couldn't refuse though? You make it sound like people should read the council's mind? A 250 year lease for the peanuts WASP got if for does not constitute a sensible or reasonable offer in my book!

Yep and that would suggest she never mentioned or even (to give her some credit) the possibility of a 250 year lease as an alternative that would almost be like having the freehold and at a far reduced rate than buying the freehold would have been too! Do you really suppose those confidential...

matcov I think a few pages back... The fact will always be if you sat in a council chamber and knew you had an idea you were willing to sell a 250 years lease of the Ricoh for peanuts why would you not let the incumbent football club - regardless of present or past blood know? How could SISU...

To answer the OP question then yes it's good for Coventry if WASP are here and CCFC are here. The problem is one of those needs far more money to sustain it than the other, they need their own stadium and income streams not just a rental pitch deal. If CCFC could gets their hands on income from...
