    Is that meant to be an insult then?

    The bitterness...

    That is where the 34 top flight years wasn't a good thing. The fanbase doesn't grow without promotion seasons. In that 34 years we should've had a couple of relegations & promotions

    I mean Man City don't own theirs. Do fans use that against them?

    The bitterness...

    Best analogy of 1990's Man Utd fans I ever heard was this: "There is a massive war, Britain is about to be invaded. All the men join up, but get to choose where they serve. Most go to the front line to do their bit and help their fellow soldiers. Man Utd fans choose to work in the office, miles...

    I remember being bitter when some Sky pundit described Maddison as "starting his career at Norwich"

    Bournemouth and Brentford won’t maintain it anyway. Remember Wigan? Clubs always fall back to their natural level in the end

    The bitterness...

    It’s speculation as to what the team would’ve been if we had gone up in 2023. However, one thing is certain, the club itself definitely wasn’t ready to be a premier league team then. Whereas now, we’re as ready as we’ll ever be I think

    The bitterness...

    Assuming we pull it off, what will be great is knowing we did it without some billionaire bankrolling us. We did it with hard work and intelligence. That makes it all the more special. It also makes me feel that this is our natural position, and that as a club we aren’t out of place in the...

    If we’re up there next year Bournemouth will annoy me. A league 2 club that in recent years has outspent massive Championship clubs

    Coventry City - The CBS Story: In our Coventry Homes (BBC CWR)

    Blame on the council rests around two main things 1. Setting such a high rent when the club had no choice but to accept in 2003 2. Selling to Wasps The blame for pretty much all the other things lies with Sisu

    Coventry City - The CBS Story: In our Coventry Homes (BBC CWR)

    Opinions became entrenched and from that point on it was just about beating the opponent. In 2011 the council were correct that Sisu shouldn’t own the arena. At that point Sisu were showing themselves to be unfit to run any business. The problem is the council then decided to “beat” Sisu by...

    Coventry City - The CBS Story: In our Coventry Homes (BBC CWR)

    I forgot about Onye Igwe. I always remember that story about him in a board meeting where they were trying to figure out how to pay the clubs bills (this was just around the time that Sisu turned off the cash supply) Apparently everyone was really stressed, and he decided to bring up in the...

    For those that remember 1967

    Did it feel like this? I know we had a good few years before promotion, but did you go into the 66-67 season expecting promotion? Once you got to Christmas, did it feel like we were really going to do it? I'd love to know from the older fans if it feels similar to this season. If we do pull it...

    Coventry City - The CBS Story: In our Coventry Homes (BBC CWR)

    Thats true, but plenty of those billionaire owners make some horrific decisions. Perhaps a very clever, but poor (compared to those) owner can outsmart them? I think from that angle he would absolutely relish the challenge. Imagine being a Warwickshire businessman worth about £30m effectively...

    I thought he took the flak like a man to be honest. He held that fans forum when he could’ve just hid away

    I could see him maintaining a presence. He’s clearly enjoying being in football

    Atmosphere again

    The atmosphere will be better with a siege/underdog mentality. it’s not all about winning games

    Atmosphere again

    Regardless of your opinions on the atmosphere in general, not once have we been outsung by the away fans this season.
