I agree with you completely about history and culture but that's not the point I'm making! I'm making the argument of what to spend the funding for the city of culture on. We could spend the lot on tarting up a building or two or on actual activities and things to do. Do a building up and...

Suddenly a lot of your responses on here make a lot more sense :emoji_stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

It's City of Culture 2021 - ie culture in the present day. It's not about what we USED to do, it's about what we do NOW. By all means adding a bit of cultural history in to show how it's changed over the years is great, but it shouldn't be the main focus. I'd prefer to see the money used to...

Not surprised -truly awful negative manager who sets a team out not to lose rather than try and win. Got away with it for a bit at Fulham due to funding and with Wales because he had Bale to nick a goal. Without those kind of advantages he's terrible. If he was in charge of Barcelona he'd set...

I'm not saying we should build something new and shiny - I don't think we should build anything at all. I'm saying it should be more about WHAT we do/have done rather than the structures they take place in. Obviously the museums etc are part of that. But also part of that is that our current...

I find with lots of people it's the willpower - they're fine not having a drink but when they have that one it quickly becomes two, then four......A couple of weeks ago a couple of friends went out for 'a drink' after finishing work only intending to go for one and be home within an hour or two...

Been pretty much tee-total for over 15 years (have a glass or two of wine/champagne with Xmas dinner/weddings etc) but other than that I'm fine without it. Admittedly that was because the stuff runs straight through me and nights out are no fun when you're spending the entire time in the...

Last point is City of Culture isn't about old buildings - it's about the many varied ways we live - entertainment like theatres to sporting events, art from masters to graffitti, cuisine from high end nosh to street vendors, all the different customs from various countries and religions. The old...

I understand why people are frustrated about how the council don't spend the money on the historic structures etc which can be of great use tourist wise (though their locations tend to be quite spread out and doesn't make Coventry feel as historic as it actually is and IMO having a variety of...

Agree with the point about a cheaper one-off visit than a year pass, although both options should be available. For the out of town visitor it's likely only going to be a one-off visit so needs to cater for that but there are quite a lot of exhibits and if you want to take a really close look...

Not for me. Half decent playmaker a few years ago with his passing but no mobility at all and IMO a massive discipline problem - tends to get very annoyed against players that are getting the better of him and lash out with awful challenges in which he seems to actual try to injure his opponent...

She's in Coventry all this week doing a play at the Belgrade! I remember her from Game On and I think she did some rugby comedy film (which I only remember cos she got her norks out)

Comes across well in the interview IMO and I think MR changed his mind because he knew McFadzean was signing. The guy wants to play so I think it's fair to him to let him try and do that. Hope he manages to find a club where he'll get that.

and Thompson

Pleased with that and that we've got it done early. Already the oldest player in the squad. Slight concern over the pace of a pairing like him and Hyam,but hopefully should be pretty solid. Just got to see who will be outside them. LB's look a bit shaky defensively and only Hickman at RB thus...

No - you have to offer then a deal on at least the same wages as they're currently on to get compensation.

Looking at it we've lost a fair chunk of a half decent defence and the most creative elements of our midfield, but still retain all the attackers that were guilty of missing so many chances last season. I'm excited for who we might recruit in the summer (the stadium being up in the air might...

Nothing that surprising in the outs. Wasn't expecting Addai's extension to be taken up - think it might be that they didn't want to potentially have no keepers whatsoever. No idea if they released the U18 keeper Bilson or not. I guess we have to be careful what we wish for - I think most of...

I find this bit intriguing, because he'll be brought up in so much wealth and privilege he'll have far more in common with upper class white people in Britain than anyone black or mixed race. But as I've said before that set it ultra white and conservative so will he be accepted (but given he's...

Really surprised by this. I've never heard Baker do or say anything of this nature before in a very long career, and have enjoyed his appearances on panel shows etc and although his radio show isn't my cup of tea (or sausage sandwich) he does have a very approachable and disarming presenting...
