Presumably all the reporters, all the city’s local government officers, and all the elected members from all the parties? I guess like Grendel you believe the whole lot of them have had an agenda to screw Coventry City Football Club, not just since SISU took over but for years before that? Not...

No, there is just one reason - that it fits 100% with everything SISU have said and done all the way through. At every stage they have made absolutely clear that they didn't want to buy the stadium (or even half of it) with all the debt intact. So we don't own it. Which is surely a very good...

Don't worry tisza - there's a guy on here called Ian who was born in 1779, and Tony is 176.

48 is the new 18 :)

I googled this, and it turns out to be Finnish for “heads of agreement”.

This for me is the absolute crux of it all. I don’t regard the high rent as a greedy fleecing of the club, but an inevitable consequence of the Council and the Higgs getting sucked into the whole unaffordable project. The same goes for the formula for buying back the club’s share. SISU...

Yeah, it’s a dangerous place. Any poorly-considered remark can be retrieved by some terrifying process years later and thrown back in your face. And there are teams of people who see it as their spare-time duty to keep a count of which threads you read. The exact assessment criteria haven’t...

I rate Maddison as the best young player we have produced in many years, and I really thought our early season form was largely down to him. It only goes to show how brilliantly TM has done to get us at (or near) the top of the league without him. If he comes back strong, it will be like...

No, but I kind of get what he means - the way Ricketts and Stokes contribute to attacking moves is probably beyond what Willis could do at full back. Prefer him at centre back myself, where he would be good cover I think.

We all feel the same pain SB, but I hope you’re wrong about never having an opportunity. The Ricoh can easily support two successful sports clubs, and in fact is more viable that way. Somebody somewhere must have an answer. I hope I'm not pushing up the daisies by the time it happens.

If it was a simple as that, I’d agree with you. But what the JR said about the events of 2012 was far more complex. There were pages and pages of it, and the judge decided that the actions of the Council and the Higgs were taken to protect themselves from being stitched up. Maybe he was...

That's the one for me :)

Oldham 19th December - £10 adults, £5 concessions, £1 kids I think http://www.ccfc.co.uk/news/article/tickets-coventry-city-oldham-athletic-christmas-cracker-2793931.aspx Cheaper than using a "match package" voucher.

What is the paranoia about? I clicked on the article and he just made that comment as a small part of his summary of the match, without any apparent spin or sarcasm to it. He complimented us on the way the game was played. Then the quote appears on here out of context with an exclamation mark...

Really enjoyed the irony of this.

I suspect that is the voice of experience? I wonder what proportion of CCFC fans have witnessed a promotion (or even two)? Strange as it may seem, for me this is one of the most significant results of the season.

Simon, in no way do I subscribe to the paranoia about bias in the Telegraph, and your journalism is normally very fine by me. However, in this case the article misled me. It’s written in the present tense about a past event - “Boss of Coventry City FC owners writes letter of complaint “, “Joy...

I agree with this principle – a stadium might last for 100 years, so how the hell can you predict the circumstances of a club over such a long time frame? If we ever did move, I’d want something with imagination to it – for example, being able to see the pitch from the concourse at MK is great...

No, he always looked like a fine young player, but he made a couple of high-profile mistakes and some fans crucified him for it. It's happened a few times over the years - the most recent example being Stokes (although he’s not at the same level IMO).

Yes, if Les Reid’s information is correct and CCFC are thinking of an initial 12 – 15K, we would be locking people out for fixtures like yesterday’s. His article also said there was potential for “more than 20,000”, whatever that means. I’m not pre-judging anything the club wants to propose...
