Another thing the anti Thorn intelligentsia struggle with is that AT is in the job because he was and continues to be the cheapest option. Until the owners have more financial choice their hands are tied. :-)

Yeah, but when it comes to answers as to who will replace AT the 'Thorn out boring morons' are full of bright ideas.......not.

Loving this. .........And after Thorn Sisu scratch their heads and finally appoint Shaw as caretaker while looking for a permanent appointment. Shaw's team win three on the spin and fans clamour that the job should be his. Sisu oblige realising Shaw is on even less than Thorn. The team is found...

Tbh, footballers by and large do not care about the impact they have on us fans or the impression they give to society. The planet they live on bears no resemblance to the real world. A touch of sanity needs to return to their world and if a few home truths on tinternet helps then bring it on...

More interestingly, what percentage don't have running water, cannot read and live in Lesta?

Very dependable - something we have lacked for a decade or more. Sad time but heartened that people who never saw him play appreciate the qualities he had. Just heard that he was also a legend down at Plymouth despite only playing a season there. There's a thread on a pilgrim site....somewhere...

Interesting and heartening to see that the efforts of a wholehearted player like Ernie Machin live long in the memory of Coventry fans. All these plaudits are well deserved.....he was a marvelous player for us and a key part of the Sky Blue revolution. What wouldn't we give for players of his...

Very sad news, one of the greats from the JH era, no doubt. RIP Ernie.

Just seen the excellent Carlisle documentary in which John Barnes, Stan Collymore and others made eloquent claims of how we still have a long way to go. Our society has improved since the 70's when racism was overt - today it is just passive. Football is essentially white, hierarchical...

MAYBE not. According to today's Guardian he is 2-1 (Ladbrokes) to take over at Barclays. ?

Roughly two weeks rent at the Coventry Stadium.

I miss the old place. :-( Threads like this just make it worse, :((((

The Brighton comparison is a good one. A inclusive vision based on community, local business and the council singing from the same hymn sheet. The very opposite of what Ccfc have under SISU. Until the club is honestly and transparently led from the top down the community cannot be blamed for...

But there is little choice. If we wanted to bring about change we couldn't. The endless banter about a "takeover" is pointless and depressing. It's all hopeless best thing we can do is shrug it off and hope that our fortunes change. What else is there?

Sisu have bought a cold. In effect, when they bought the club, they acquired a name with a huge wage bill attached and no assets.!! You couldn't make it up. They now want to appeal to the charitable nature of Higgs and the Council to extricate them from their own naïveté. Bless.

It is the most corporate olympics ever, and forget inclusivity and "legacy" - it is just about milking the last penny. All the venues, etc. already sold into corporate ownership.

Good thread. Clubs evolve and it is very difficult to put your finger on when and why the mentality changes. I remember the momentum of the late sixties it was quite extraordinary. Cities like Coventry emerged from the post war gloom embracing the fruits of mass producing cars, etc. even popular...

Wat a wanker

Supporting a football club is a personal matter and is why you will always get wildly different responses to how and why that support should be expressed. Our current owners are not supporters which is precisely why it has become such a dysfunctional club. The truth is we do not know if (in...

Blind faith makes fans gullible. However, Sisu ran out of credit a long, long time ago. This statement is risible. They really are deluded if they think people will swallow such obvious crap.
