    That fella Sturridge at Liverpool is doing alright, I'd stick him in the squad.

    In or around Coventry....does it matter?

    In respect of your Wimbledon point I can think of one large City that is currently without a league team playing there, maybe they could relocate from Northampton to there, and then benefit from larger attendances, and therefore make more money. I don't think the investors will be prepared to...

    In or around Coventry....does it matter?

    They have said it many times, when do you think they will buy one? Do you think they can afford one?

    Ex-councillor Brian Patton to stand v Ann Lucas on Get Cov Back to the Ricoh platform

    Your suggestion would certainly be one way for them to make some money back for their investors, I wonder if those investors are willing to fund losses for another 4,5,6 or say 20 years before those extra millions roll in from our success. Another, maybe quicker, way for them to get some...

    In or around Coventry....does it matter?

    Maybe we should build or buy a ground then, you should have mentioned this before. How will the build or purchase be funded?

    Renting Vs Ownership

    Every political, economic and sports pundits agree that Coventry City must own its own stadium. No figures are required to back this up, Joy has spoken, and her word is her bond.

    Seps programme notes.

    If they paid the full value for the lease/stadium how would this mean they would sell on. Surely this doesn't get their investors money back?

    We are safe but....

    If I was his agent I'd be telling Wilson to try and get the longest most valuable contract he can get because as you say "one good season is no guarantee of a repeat performance", he needs to capitalise on it now, and you could argue so does the club.

    Seps programme notes.

    Seppala isn't after a long lease is she, so would there be any point offering one? The recent rent offers seem a good deal, certainly better than buying or building a ground.

    Surely the best place to garner opinion would be at the match today, rather than asking Nick to get a few people together at short notice. He may have this in hand though.

    Ex-councillor Brian Patton to stand v Ann Lucas on Get Cov Back to the Ricoh platform

    Surely a good strategy would take these things into account. Maybe if the simple Cov public could have the reasons to vote for him explained that might help.

    Ex-councillor Brian Patton to stand v Ann Lucas on Get Cov Back to the Ricoh platform

    Do you see him as a bit of a distraction then? Do you think Rob would be better spending his time on a different idea, or maybe thinking through this idea a bit more?

    Ex-councillor Brian Patton to stand v Ann Lucas on Get Cov Back to the Ricoh platform

    Shouldn't need much of a campaign then if this is what he's up against. Surely it'll be embarrassing if he loses to such an awful woman. How many votes do you think he will win by?

    Wolves Match Thread

    Clarke has had plenty of criticism, some unwarranted, so hopefully he'll get a goal or two to finish the season off well.

    Marilyn Knatchbull Hugessen answers questions

    Why is it still grating you more than anything else? That deal no longer exists, actually well done to SISU for that. The deals that were offered most recently seem very fair to me. I'm yet to hear a convincing argument for stadium ownership, especially as the club has no money to buy it...

    'We'd be better off owning the Ricoh but sisu can't be trusted'?

    Yep, all guesswork because for some reason SISU have no interest in telling or explaining to people what their plans are.

    Ex-councillor Brian Patton to stand v Ann Lucas on Get Cov Back to the Ricoh platform

    Rob, the Telegraph quotes this from you.....“We warned last October that the council ruling out an unencumbered sale of the Ricoh, and insisting that the club could only return as tenants, would leave our beloved Sky Blues playing ‘home’ games 35 miles away for years and years – threatening the...

    Oldham match thread

    Has Moussa declared himself unfit again? I think Wilson will score 3 today, in a 4:2 win.

    I guess it was you he was looking for after the Brentford game.
