    Apparently a piece on CCFC on radio1 any time now

    It seems like a random piece, and even more so random timing, to be covered on Radio One? All I can think is that there is a Coventry fan somewhere in the top levels of management or something bigger is coming and this is the prelude? Albeit the latter is the tiny bit of optimism I have left...

    Signing announcements at 11am

    Who is the other chap in the photo i.e. not Slade or Rawson?

    Theo Wharton and Samba Diakite

    Diakite is a good player, I just worry a little about fitness and attitude. Still, that's the point of trials and I'm pleased RS is making use of that option. That's four potential signings today, which once again shows a) it can be done and b) he doesn't mess around.

    Farrend Rawson and Charles Vernam

    Really pleased with both, although it will be interesting to see who is making way CB wise, unless he's changing to three? I would be disappointed if it's Turnbull. I appreciate he's had a less than average start, but I think anyone would struggle with the players he had around/behind him. Next...

    Is Chris Anderson having a laugh?

    To me, that's one of the most concerning articles of recent times. Pinch of salt aside, it sounds as though he (well his investors) has the finances and the plan to rejuvenate a lower league club, yet he left us fairly quickly after joining with no real reason given. So, a potentially genuine...

    red bull again

    But isn't that the point - the investor would own both clubs and therefore there would be an even parity. It wouldn't be as is. I agree re the Premier league profit point, but some do. Plus a company like Red Bull could afford to run at a loss if there brand was televised worldwide in...

    red bull again

    As a basic concept it makes sense to own both - the stadium in use twice for a high number of weekends, equals twice the revenue. There's sharing of other facilities too. Plus, if we were taken over by a company willing to invest, there's lots more money to made with Coventry than Wasps...

    Turgid

    I think even you would agree that it is unfair to blame Bigi for all 8 losses. How many other players were also involved in those 8 games? By the same logic the blame should be equally apportioned (fair play if you can actually be bothered to check). Your hatred of Bigi blinds you from reason...

    Turgid

    I said similar on another thread, but I do worry about RS a little and the style of football he wants to play if Rose and Reilly are his central midfield preference. Stevenson and Bigi are both more creative and technically gifted players, and while they may not be physical in stature or playing...

    Relegation thread

    I can't provide any justifiable or logical reasoning as to why, but I am not convinced we will go down. Things are bleak league wise, but with three (maybe four) new additions - centre forward, winger (x2 ideally) and a centre midfielder (if BS goes) - plus Stokes back, and we suddenly look a...

    Match Thread Chesterfld v Coventry Match Thread - Saturday 14th Jan

    Gary Johnson - currently third from bottom of League Two and an all round tosser (according to some within the game). No thanks.

    Match Thread Chesterfld v Coventry Match Thread - Saturday 14th Jan

    Potentially controversial, but I wouldn't mind if RS had a little chat with Evans after the game. He could be the striker we are looking for, especially thinking about next season too once he has had a full season under his belt this year.

    RCC

    Burge has definitely improved this season, I'm certainly not as worried every time the opposition even enter the final third as I was last year, but RCC is the superior keeper. Yes he is prone to poor decision making when it comes to rushing out to meet the ball, but aside from that he is...

    Checkatrade Draw Thread

    What a shit draw from a fans perspective. I was really looking forward to the next round, but instead we draw a team who shouldn't even be in the competition and it entails a six hour round trip. Oh well, I hope we have more fans than they do and we absolutely trash them, hammering home the...

    Checkatrade - time to own up

    Completely agree. Like I said last night l, all I have ever seen is relegation and disappointment, so to have something to celebrate, something to get excited about and to be proud of would be a fantastic feeling. Yes it's not a prestigious cup, but what else are we realistically going to win...

    Match Thread Coventry v Brighton U21 Match Thread - Tuesday 10th Jan

    All I've ever seen is relegation and disappointment. I dont know what I'd do if we made it to Wembley and I actually had something to celebrate.

    Ben Stevenson - Brentford

    Strong rumours that an offer has been accepted, so whatever we wanted for him they must have matched. Shame to see him go at such a young age. He is the sort of player you can build a team around, especially over the next few seasons. Alas, we are a L1 club and that's the reality of our...

    Kevin Foley

    1) That was the first time I mentioned TM post departure. 2) I already made my point about Foley earlier in the thread. 3) Any response to the point I raised? So a pretty poor post from you really. You're usually ok as well.

    Kevin Foley

    To counter that; he only had two summers. One could be deemed a success, one an absolute failure. If you include the third window he was involved in (last January), his record is appealing. ANDRE FUCKING WRIGHT!!!!!

    Taylor Moore set to sign for Coventry?

    I haven't heard anything, but weirdly enough (and especially frustrating considering I support them!) getting anything from inside Coventry is tricky, so there may be something going on internally that hasn't made it to the wider football community yet.
